PRELIMINARY IN CASE
OF JOHN POPp SAT.
No One Placed ON Stand by Defense
Who Took Advantage of
That Right.

The trial OF John Popp of Cottonwood
charged with firing on an automobile
party containing his brother, Andreas
Popp, Ii. j. Barth, A. j. Barth, Clyde
Hamil and the driver, Otto Aichlmayr.
August 2S, was held in Judge Vine
yard $ court Saturday.
The Barths, Hamil and Andreas Popp
testified and their stories are substan-
TALLY the same. There has been i'll feel
ings between Popp brothers on account
of alleged inheritance money due from
deceased relatives in Germany John
Popp is living on a farm owned by
Andreas the former having five-year
lease on the property and this lease ex-
pires in October. 1t was TO notify John
to get off the farm when the lease ex-
pired that the auto party went to the
latter's place.
The party fired on were on their way
to Grangeville on business of one form
and another when Andreas Popp asked
IL. }. Barth to go into John Is place and
deliver the notice. Mr.. Barth handed
the paper to John who was near the
barn and he glanced at it after which
the defendant started for the house.
Seeing his wife John called to her to
bring the gun. She entered the house
and secured the weapon and handed it
to her husband who fired three shots at
the auto party before they made their
escape.
Deputy Sheriff William Eller went
down following the arrest of John Popp
to get the weapon with which the shoot
ing was done. None of the defense were
placed on the stand by their attorney
Fred E. Butler of Lewiston who took
advantage of that privilege in the pre-
liminary trial.

| Red Cross Local Doing |
TT '1''ii|'|A Grand Work||,+,iii,'' F.

Following the declaration of war
against Germany, Red Cross organiza-
lions were formed all over the country
and the patriotic ladies of Grangeville
were among the earliest to get their
organization perfected. The Red Cross
society here was formed under the
guidance of Mrs. Paul Clagstone of
Lewiston. The initial membership in
May was 40, and the cry was 900 by
the Fourth of July but when that date
was reached, over 400 could be counted
ON the roll, and more have been added
since.
The officers of the organization are
Mrs. f. l.. Leonard, chairman: Mrs. g.
). Stockton, vice-chairman; Mrs. p. M.
eilanvllle, secretary; Mrs. M. r. Hatta.
paugh, financial manager and S. A. An
derson, treasurer. The Red Cross is
financed from the membership fees
which are one dollar, half of which is
retained here and the balance forwarded
to the national society. $40 was deriv-

donations ranging from small amounts
to 500 have brought the total amount
collected to date about $4,000 In ad-
dition to this the local society gets 25
per cent of all money raised for the
Red Cross in the county which amounts
to in the neighborhood of $4,000. This
fund is being retained, however, as
emergency money with which to look
after families Of soldiers that need it.
The amount collected has been made
to 90 farther on account of the splendid
generosity of our merchants who in

goods at cost plus the freight. This is
going step farther than most towns
and the fact is appreciated by the mem
bers who are also grateful to Joe Nc
Donald who donates the use of the large
buildino for a headquarters.
The local Red Cross so far has used
5000 yards of materials and expended
to date $S79.7S. They have sent four
boxes to Denver for forwarding to
France and have the fifth about ready
to ship. The workers have made 123

FIRE FIGHTERS DISCHARGED
Nearly Hundred Men Ship Out Through
Grangeville.

Most of the crew of fire fighters
taken in through Grangeville 10 the
mountains were returned the last of the
week and shipped out Sunday and Mon
day morning for Spokane. Something
like forty-five were hauled out from
Dixie Saturday and 25 more Sunday
According to the men who had charge
of them there were few good men
among the gang but most of them were
too lazy to be of much value and put in
most of their time eating, lodging WORK
and swapping yarns regarding their
experience in the various prisons of the
country. Something like $4,000 was
paid out in this city to them which is
probably so per cent more than they
earned.

PARKER ANSWERS
Sites Editor Accuses This City of "Dog
In Manger' Policy in Regard
to Roads

Some time ago the Sites Enterprise
under the caption of, "'None So Blind
as Those Who viii not See,' said that
the different state officials who visit
this section should be given map show
ing the location of Sites as the gate
way to the "best mineralized' dis
trict in the state of Idaho, and the
most sadly neglected by the powers that
be, both in Boise and Washington. State
Engineer Booth should, especially, be
served with copy as the general i'm
preston prevails here that Booth thinks
the people of the great Elk City section
are served by the way of Lewiston and
Grangeyille. just why this great un-
developed region is neglected both in
Boise and Washington is beyond the ken
of mortals i'll this neck of the woods.
The only attempts to relieve this section
III the past have been bungling attempts
to force traffic by unnatural channels
that were abandoned after a lavish ex-
penditures of money and unfeasable and
impossible Of the object to be attained.
The natural water grade from Sites to
Elk City would have been constructed
long ago if Grangeville had been located
somewhere along the route. just how
long this fair city will blind its eyes
and allow selfish motives to dictate its
policies toward its greatest field of
future development depends great deal
upon the citizens of Grangeville them
selves AS State Senator McBeth,
secretary of the Mine Owners Associa-
tion, recently said in an interview in
Lewiston, Grangeville can assist in
building the river road into Elk and
have one hundred camps working or she
can still persue her "dog in the
manger' policy and keep the number
down to eight or ten.
A. F. Parker state land appraiser of
this city, replied to the above article
in the following manner: "Your com
ment on Grangeville fighting the river
road is wrong. The Grangeville people
have done everything that ever was
done to build roads into Elk City, and
we started the river road long before
Sites or the Clearwater Short Line was
ever on the map. The present mountain
road was built on an appropriation of
$sO0O.00 secured by Senator James Sur
ridge in, / think, 1892, which was spent
in building the road between Clearwater
post office and Newsome. Grangeville
people built the road from Newsome to
the Thirty-Mile tree, and the Elk City
people built from the Thirty Mile tree
to the camp. Grangeville people main
tanned that entire road for many years.

1t was not thought best to ask the

war to help as it was presumed that
they had given enough-their own sons,
put these mothers are among the most
faithful workers. AS is so often the
case, those who actually do things, the
faithful ones, are few in number. In
addition to neglecting their own work
and families, as well as to forego the
pleasures which they enjoy, these noble
women are content to spend the after
noon in drudgery that some mother IS
boy on the distant battle fields of
France may be well cared for, that this
terrible war may be more humane and
that every possible chance be given the
sick and wounded to be restored to
their homes safe and WELL
But the ladies say this sacrifice is a
pleasure and the only gloom in the pro-
ceedlngs is to see so many who might
come and help go passing by on pleasure
bent and never give the serious work on
hand thought. "The sacrifice is not
for the few for the war is on us all.
And the least we can do is to give a

those who go forth to stop the bullets, y
says one earnest worker of the Red
Cross, Would enough come in to assist,
instead of few coming every day, we
could arrange to alternate and have SO
many come each afternoon so that no
one member would have to appear at
headquarters over one or twice per
week. This would make it easier and
better for all concerned. The Red Cross
