CATCHING MANY COYOTES

Jim Rookie came out the first of the
week from his home across the river
and said they are having great sport
over there these days chasing and kill
ing coyotes. He said they have sew
eral good hounds and are running down
and killing about two coyotes a day,
thus making fair wages and at the
same time riding the country of the
thieving and stock killing coyotes.
Jim said that his brother, Will, came
near to having his neck broken a few
days before he came out, while the lat
ter was out with the hounds. In rid
ing down ridge to get where the dogs
had coyote cornered Wills horse
went over a small ledge and the sad
die went off over it's head, landing Will
on his head in bunch of boulders sew
eral feet further down the hill. He was
rather badly cut up but suffered no
permanent injuries.
Carl Henderson, who also resides over
in that country, recently captured a
fine silver gray fox in trap and hopes
to get a nice price for its pelt. Carl
trapped for the animal last winter and
cut off two of its toes in the trap, so
when he caught the fox this winter and
found it minus two toes he knew it to
be the one of old acquaintanee.-Cot

PETE JOHNSON IN LEWISTON.
Returned From Spokane Where he Was
Comforting With Mining Men.

Peter johnson, from the Buffalo
Hump mining district, who has been in
Spokane in connection with mining
matters in which prominent mining men
of that city are interested and which
may result in great activity in the
Hump country during the coming sea-
son, is now in Lewiston spending a few
days and expects to remain some time
as stated in the Tribune. Mr. johnson
who has been handing out boosts for
the Idaho county mining industry gave
and interview to the Tribune reporter
which is interesting. Mr.. johnson
passed through Lewiston 90 years ago in
1892 and settled near Cottonwood He
entered the Buffalo Hump country IL
years ago and his great faith in the
future of that section has made him a
permanent resident there where he has
prospected and developed mining prop
critics, having acquired some extensive
and valuable interests, being owner of
the Lexington and Copper Queen
groups.
The interview as reported by the Tri-
bune reporter is as follows:

Gilmore road down the Salmon river

trail Idaho mining districts and at the
same time have the best transcontinen-
tai location said Mr.. johnson yester-
day. "The Salmon river road would
pass within IL miles of the Buffalo
Hum p district and would solve the
transportation question for all of the
central Idaho camps. The building of
this road would mean active mining
operations on many properties and
heavy shipments of ore would be made
as soon as the road was put in opera
ton.
"We thought the parcels post would
offer some relief to the isolated camps
but under a new ruling by the depart
ment the mail carrier is not required to
move more than 500 pounds of mail
matter at one trip and ore and concen-
trates will not be moved until all other
mail matter has been handled. This
means the plan for handling ore ard
concentrates by mail has been effec-
lively stopped.
"The building of the Salmon river
line would do more than open the CEN
trail Idaho mines. Tt would open one
of the greatest stock regions of the
entire west. I do not believe I am
making an J exaggerated statement

IN NEW LOCATION.
Snyder & Miller Move to Masonic
Building this Week.

Snyder & Miller have been busy this
week moving their harness, saddlery
and shoe repairing equipment and stock
from Their former Location in the old
Hickerson building to the room form
erly occupied by o. 7. Lingo in the
Masonic hall building, and have got
things nicely arranged for business and
are now attending to the wants of their
many customers. The new place of
business is splendidly adapted to the
needs of their establishment. Both
gentlemen of that firm have gained a
large number of customers and have
many warm friends. Their slogan is,
elf it is made of leather we can make
it, and their workmanship bears out
their assertion in every respect. They
are assured of the same good patronage
in their new place of business that they
have enjoyed since they came to
Grangeville and gave the community a
modern and up-to-date harness and sad
dlery mandatory.

END OF JOHN BARLEY CORN.
Closing Hours Orderly and no Trouble
of Any Kind.

Friday night marked the closing of
the licensed liquor places in the state
in compliance with the most drastic
prohibition law ever passed by any
state in the union. The law, which was
passed by the last session of the legis-
lature, received large support from
members of all political parties and
from rabid wet men as well as the
drys. The drys are well satisfied with
the measure and from the way wet
members voted fot it there must have
been something appealing to them in
the law. Some said it contained a
" iokerD but from the way it is start
ing out to operate the Joker so far
has not been materialized.
Locally the last hours of John Bar
ley corn were not exciting and from
reports from other towns in the county
no undue hilarity marked the last gasps
of Old John. The liquor men proved to
be throughbreds and served drinks dur
ing the last hours with a smile. The
usual holiday souvenirs were not in
evidence and refreshments were ex-
changed for the coin of the realm on
ly, well wishes and intimation of future
patronage did not seem to melt down
the cold business barrier of the closing
hours.
For several days previous to the
closing business had been good, all the
jugs and small casks to be procured in
the town having been filled. 1t would
thus appear the appetite for liquid re-
freshments having been greatly stimu-
lated as the hour approached or else
there were some anticipating the COM
ing drouth and doing their best to
fortify against it.
The first bars to close were those
of Batty and johnson, these places run
ming out of goods at about ten thirty
Friday evening. The Three Mile at
Batty's, while old in years slipped away
like youth bent on a Sundays fish
ing At Johnson s the shelves were
emptied an hour and half before the
closing time and the bar bottle, con-
tanning all of the remaining stock,
about pint, was auctioned off for one
dollar, the crowd ordered out and the
business closed. The Imperial and Club
bars remained open until twelve but
were out of stock by midnight
Leonard Becker-Jurgen, the local
brewer, turned out 5000 gallons of beer
into the sewer Friday afternoon and
while the law resulted in a heavy finan-
cial loss to him, he proved to be a good
loser and had no hard words for anyone.
Early Saturday morning the doors of
the buildings occupied by the saloons
had bunch of Grape tied to the hand
les and empty bottles bearing the par
ticulars of their death. The closing
seemed to be marked by the best of
feeling and order was better this year
than usual Not an arrest was made
and no trouble of any kind occurred.

BUSINESS CHANGES HANDS.
G. H. Thompson Sold Confectionery tc
G. s. Smith Last Week.

A deal was closed last week between
G. II. Thompson and G. s. Smith where
by the latter becomes the proprietor of
the confectionery store formerly owned
by Mr.. Thompson and purchased by him
some time ago last fall from John Null
link. Mr.. Smith was formerly engaged
in the laundry business in Grangeville
and sold out his interests to the present
owners. At the time he was undecided
as to whether he would remain in
Grangeville and has undoubtedly con,
cluded that Grangeville was as good a
place as he could find to engage in
business. Mr.. Thompson has enjoyed O
steadily increasing business since he
purchased the store and the splendid
business qualities of the new proprietor
insures to him the same, success. Mr.
Thomson is not decided as to what he
may engage in but has his eyes turned
towards Spokane.

but one winter when there has been
sufficient snow to necessitate feeding

low benches along the river where
homes can be maintained and alfal:a

feed. The breaks slope back more
gradual than below Whitebird and the
bunchgrass grows abundantly on the
breaks and mountains. The noun.

while during the winter months the
breaks and benches would provide
pasture for immense herds and with
the hay storage along the winter, the
herds could be kept in market condi-
ton during the entire winter. When
ever the railroad is constructed down

the livestock industry along the river
will be one of the most important
factors in supplying the new road

Is THIS YOUR CHILD?

Many children by reason of having
bad and defective eyesight do not
make the proper progress at school.
These defects are rarely discovered
without a complete examination by an
eyesight specialist. Children who do
not progress in school, who are in.
clined to play truant, have headaches
and stopped shoulders, hard to control,
should by all means have their eyes
looked after at once. The child who is
slow to learn it ridiculcd by his mates,
censored by the teacher, and blamed by
the parent. Think what this is to a
sensitive child. It breeds dislike for
studies and hatred to all, and in many
cases leads to the juvenile court
Bring the child in and let me make an
examination and will tell you the ex-
act condition, and then properly fitted
glasses will make the child normal and
healthy.

present and assisted in the work and
made fine speech on Woodcraft, in
which he commended our hustling dis
trict deputy for his success in getting
new members. Neighbors from Spirit

were present and gave valuable assis-
lance. The ladies of the Royal Neigh

VILLA FAILS IN EFFORTS
T0CAPTURE CHIHUAHUA
GEN. VILLA HAS FAILED
After Two Days of Almost Con
tinuOus Fighting Bandit
Is Driven from Vicinity.

Juarez, Mexico, Nov. 24.-Francis-
co Villa has failed in his repeated
efforts to capture Chihuahua City,
high CarranZa officials here, who
were in constant touch with the de-
yelopments in the State captila, de-
clared emphatically tonight.
After two days of almost contin-
uous fighting, Villa has been driven
from the vicinity of the city and has
left for the Northwest with the rem.
nants of his command, they said.
The Carranza general reported
killed in fighting is said to be Gen
eral Gandara, a former follower of
Villa. Among the dead picked up on
the battlefield west of the city today
was the body of General Julio Acos-
ia, one of Villas principal command
ers, the announcement said.
Villa was reported late today to
have fed to the mountainous dis.
trict of Guerrero with the remainder
of his men, abandoning his trains.
puI tulS was HOI NtIlhSu III JudIc cL
The whereabouts of General Muir
guia's division, which has been ad-
vancing toward Chihuahua City from
the South, remains as much of a
mystery tonight as it was yesterday
when General Murguia was expected
to reinforce General Trevino.
Attacking Forces in Route Lose
Heavily.
Another attack by the Villa ban
dts upon this city from the east was
begun at 6 a. m. today and was re-
pulsed as were the previous attacks
by the bandits, with heavy losses to
the attacking forces.
The machine guns again did dead
ly execution in the ranks of the ban,
dts, who crept up from the east un-
der cover of a deep arroyo, or dry
wash. The rapid-firers cut down the
advancing lines like mower in O.
field OF standing grain. The dead
and wounded were left on the battle
field. When the enemy broke and
ran in disorder, the heavy artillery
took up the brunt of the fighting, the
machine guns being outranged. Gen

eral DUMAS cavalry pursued the
bandits and completed their rout.
The Villa forces fled toward the
northwest and are believed to be out
of touch with the remaining Villa
commands.
Among the wounded today was
Gov, Francisco Trevino brother OF
General Trevino, who was shot in the
hand. Two officers of Gen. Trevino' 5
general staff have been killed. The
body Of General Julio Acosta. one OF
Villas commanders, was found to
the west OF the city, as was the body
of Andres Sada, Villas secretary.
General Acosta was killed in ac-
tion by Colonel Cadera of the Car
rama cavalry column, during the
cavalry engagement yesterday. Gen
eral Trevino, though wounded yes
terday, was again in personal com
mand today.
An effort was made early this
morning to storm Santa Rosa Hill,
which is fortified and commands the
approaches to the city from the
south, southeast and southwest.
General Gonzales Cuellar's infantry
allowed the bandits to approach
within easy rifle range before open
ing fire. When the advancing men
were close Cuellar's men poured q
murderous fire into the first files, fol-
lowing this with volleys at inter.
walls of one minute. The result was
another retreat which started at 2:3O
a. m. and prevented the Villa bandits
from capturing the heavy artillery
on Cerro Santa Rosa.
Villa left his troop trains at Hoe
casitas station, south of here, and
General Apolonit Trevino has beer
ordered by General Trevino to pro
ceed in that direction with his cav.
airy and cut the bandits off from the
trains.
The civilian population of the city
is breathing freely again and is
praising General Trevino and his
command for the defense which they
have made during the past two days
General Trevino took time today
from the work of directing his forces
to receive the Associated Press cor.
respondent and deny officially rumors
which he had been informed were in
circulation at the border. He de-
MED the report that any of his men
were deserting to Villa. He praised
the spirit of his men and said he had
visited them personally in the
trenches and at the various strategic
points and found them universally
cheerful and eager for battle.
