DISTRIBUTE TROUT IN III
STREAMS IN IDAHO CO.


The state fish car arrived in Grange
vile, Tuesday evening and $4,000 trout
fry of the Eastern brook variety were
planted in Three Mile and John 5 creek
that same night. The fish were shipped
in from the state hatchery at Standpoint
and were in charge of w. III. Thorpe
who accompanies the ears over the state
and sees that proper disposition is made
of the fish. The shipment consisted of
% cans Fish had been distributed at
different points along the line including
Ferdinand and Cottonwood.
A phone message received Tuesday by
Il. A. Day from Game Warden Mitchell
of Nezperce was the first intimation
that Grangeville people had that the car
would be in this week. Mr.. Day imme-
diately got busy and secured r.. N
Walker and Sam Wright who came for
ward in sportsmanlike manner and
rendered the use of their cars to take
the Irys to the streams. Game Warden
Mitchell came in from Nezperce to help
look after the distribution.
The fish car left Standpoint Monday
evening and was on the road "a hours
and by the time the little things are
dumped into the streams they are in
poor shape to take care of themselves,
which condition brings to attention the
necessity of having a hatchery located
at Grangeville. Fish hatchers say the
best results are obtained when frys are
gotten TO their destination in a fresh,
lively condition and our geographical
position makes this impossible and a
hatchery here is the only solution.
We have plenty of good locations in
this section for hateheries and the one
at Mithen springs about four miles
south OF town is said to be an ideal one.
The water here is cold and pure the
year round and will fulfill all require
ments. From here frys could be shipped
in the best of condition to the neighbor-
ing counties.
Fish Deputy w. HI. Thorpe of Boise.
II. b. Garrison, superintendent in charge
of the fishery at Sand Point, j. B Cum
mings, game deputy from southern
Idaho and John Cranston, a business
man from Sand Point, composed the en-
tire party accompanying the fish ear to
this place. On Wednesday the forego-
ing gentleman piloted by some business
men from Grangevilie, investigated the
fish site at Mitchell Springs and Mr..
Thorpe on his return to town admitted
that the location was an ideal one but
would make no promises as to what will
be done. He says that if things work
out as they should and if the people in
this section bring the right amount of
pressure to bear, there might be time
when he can use his knowledge of the
favorable condition at Mitchell Springs
to good advantage. He thinks a
hatchery at GranoeviIIa would save ex
cessive freight.

COWBOY BAND Goes TO
SPOKANE FAIR SUNDAY
Grangeville Organization Advertised to
Make Big Hit at Washington
Blowout.

One of the best advertisements to be
sent out of Grangeville in some time
will be when the Cowboy band leaves
here Sunday morning to play during
the fair in Spokane. At present the boys
are trying to arrange for special coach
to carry them to the Washington city
and If this is possible, Grangeville peo.
pie to the number of about sixty will
will take their wives and many friends
of members in the organization are go.
ing to make the trip.
The personnel of the band who will
play at the Spokane fair are H. H. Mil
Ter, leader and cornetist, Lester Rush
and G. A. Tollefson, comets; VIM. Hart
man and Casey Hutchins, clarinets; Huh
Wood, Earl Manning and Gay Eimers
altos; Norville Johnston, Robert Jordan
and Willard Rush, slides; Irwin Toye
valve trombone; Ed Abramson, bari.
tone; Al Nelson, tuba; Basil Harris and
Harold Harris drums; Ross Frizzel and
Joe Robert, trick ropers.
Irwin TOye, former member of the
Grangeville band and an expert ON a
valve trombone, sent word to the boys
to bring his instrument and he will
play with them during their stay at the
big blowout. The band will give three
concerts day, morning, afternoon and
evening for six days except Thursday
when they will have the afternoon and
evening to themselves.
Dressed in their cowboy garb, wide
trimmed Stetsons, fancy shirts and riding
boots and possibly chapps when it is not
too hot, and playing some stirring music,
the boys will no doubt make the big
hit at the fair. Ross Frizzell and Joe
Roberts will ride in front of the band
as it marches and twirl their ropes into
all the fantastic figures imaginable.
Roberts is also some rider and will give
an exhibition of his skill should occasion
require.
The band boys have been practicing
for some time past and gave
a dance last Thursday evening and
another tonight. This will put some
additional money in the treasury and at
the same time afford excellent oppor-
tunities to get plenty of practice. The
Spokane fair people got out thousands
of dodgers advertising their doings and
the only band given special mention is
the Cowboy band of Grangeville.
Band Manager Harris received in
formation from the railroad company
that the special coach will be provided
and the same mail brings an invitation
from the Chamber Of Commerce at Mos
COW for the Cowboy Band to stop off
in that city and give them some lively
music in exchange for which the boys
will be given whiri over the city in
and they will be otherwise
feted. The band win jump out and play
at all points where the train stops any
length of time so there win not be a
man, woman or Indian living ten miles
on either side of the railroad between
here and Spokane, who will not known
that Grangeville is up and coming.

SHOOTING AFFAIR NEAR COTTON
WOOD may PROVE SENSATIONAL

What promises to. be the beginning of
pretty sensational and salacious air
ing of the. troubles of two brothers da,.
ing from the time of the death of their
father in Germany some fifteen years
ago, was brought another step nearer
the courts of the land Tuesday at noon
when John G. Popp, living five or six
miles this side of Cottonwood fired two
shots from .22 rifle at a loaded auto
IN an attempt to shoot his brother,
Andreas Popp. 1t seems there has been
bad blood between the two brothers for
some time, John alleging he was de-
frauded by his brother Andreas ont of
his share of his fathers estate and last
Thursday a suit was filed in the district
court by John through his attorney,
Fred Butler of Lewiston, asking for
sum in the neighborhod of $4,000,
alleging his brother had defrauded him
out of sum which with interest from
the time it was due him to the, present
would equal the sixteen thousand. On
Tuesday afternoon an auto driven by a
Mr. Achelmeyer left Cottonwood for
Grangeville, the party consisting of
Andreas Popp, HI. Barth and son and
Clyde Hamill who was returning from
"a business trip over on the westside.
Achelmeyer drove to the Popp place
where III. j.. Barth served a written
notice signed by Andreas Popp upon his
brother John, to vacate the premises.
John Popp remarked he couldn't read
the notice and did not know as it
amounted to much anyway so Barth
read the same and was on the point of
leaving when Popp ran to the house and
seized twenty-five. In the. meantime
Barth had reached the machine and
scenting trouble the car was quickly
turned around but not in time to get
