to be the only other team to give

a horse which Nancys son had
left standing saddled in the barn
and rode away at a gallop.
This horse was found near
Peon and one theory is that the
horse, in trying TO jump a. gate,
threw him and he struck on his
head, causing his death. There
was no sign of any struggle at
the place where he was found
and another theory Is that some
of the men with whom he had
trouble at the Mission had
knocked him unconscious and
taken him to the place where he
was found. It was pointed out
that it was almost impossible
for him to have received the
wound in the place where it was
by being thrown from horse and
that the fracture had the ap-
pearance Of having been made by
him being struck by club.
After hearing the evidence the
coroner's jury brought in YER
dict to the effect that he came
to his death at the hands of some
person or persons unknown.

Files Suit For
$4,000 Damages
BLACKWELL LUMBER co. IS DEFENDANT
Frank Schultz Alleges lie Was Permanently In
ured By Defective Machinery

Frank Schultz, through his
attorneys, William D. Keeton of
this city and James F. Ailshie of
Coeur d'Alene, has commenced
an action in the district court
for this county against the
Blackwell Lumber company of
Coeur d'Alene. He is suing that
cmpany for fifteen thousand dol
lars damages for personal in
juries. y ~
In his complaint, which was
filed Monday, he alleges that on
the goth day of last April, while
he was at work for the defendant
company near Fernwood, he was
permanently injured by the neg
ligence of the company, for which
injury he asks damages to the
above amount.
According to the complaint he
was employed as what is known
as a hooker" on a logging ma
chine called a TANNER" used to
load logs on cars preparatory to
taking them to the defendants
sawmills. 1t was his duty to
fasten the logs to hooks on a
crane by which they were raised
and swung onto the car. AS one
of the logs was being raised it
swung around and the end struck
him on the right knee, breaking
NE bone and crushing the knee.
Vile was brought to a hospital
III this city, where he remained
until the fifteenth of July. He
alleges that the enjury was per-
manent and that he will always
be lame.
He claims that the drum which
operates the jammer was defec-
tive and also that the man who
operated it was incompetent and
did not understand his business
and that the accident which
caused his injuries was due to
the defective drum and to the
incompetency of the man Oper-
ating it. 1t is further alleged
that the Blackwell Lumber COM
pany had knowledge of the de-
fective drum and also of the in
competency of the man who op-
operated it, while he had no
knowledge of either.

Investigate Death
OF James PeOn
INDIAN POLICEMAN DIES OF INJURIES
Coroner Holds Inquest. Jury Finds He Came To
Death By Foul Means

DR.. O. ID. Platt, county coroner,
was called to Sorrento Friday to
investigate the death of James
peon, an Indian policeman, who
died there Wednesday under cir
cumstances which looked as
though there might have been
foul play. A coroner's inquest
was held and a jury of eight per-
sons called to examine into the
matter.
From the evidence heard at
the inquest it appears that peon
was at the place of an Indian
woman called Nancy Monday
evening. He left there at about
ten o'clock and was not seen
again until Tuesday forenoon
when he was found lying beside
the road at some distance from
there in an unconscious condi-
tion.

White of Tekoa was sent for.

fractured over the right eye. The
fracture was q severe one and
extended down to and through
the eye socket and to the nose.
Peon did not regain conscious
ness and died Wednesday with
out ever having been able to give
an account Of how he received
his injuries.
The evidence further revealed
the fact that a number Of Indians
we're drunk at the Mission on
Sunday and Peon had trouble
with some of them in trying to
quell q disturbance which was
started. On Monday Peon had
gone to Tekoa with several In
dians who were drinking. He
left them there and went out into
the country, where, is not known.
Later he returned to Tekoa and
got his horse, which had been
there since Sunday, going first

Riley where, according to the
testimony, he inquired for his

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE BRINGS RESULTS
Change In Bylaws. Election of Officers Post
pOned 10 October Thiriy-First

Complete returns from the
drive started Friday for new
members have not been received
as yet and it is impossible to
give the results. There we're
three papers out and only one has
been handed in. On this there
was in the neighborhood Of fifty
names. 1t is expected that the
remaining two reports will be in
within day or two.
A meeting of the Chapter was
held at the Red Cross rooms
Monday afternoon. 1t had been
annunced that officers for the
coming year would be elected at
this meeting but the chairman
had received communication
from the national secretary re-
questing that the bylaws be
amended to make them uniform
throughout the nation and en-
closing a, draft of the new by
laws which it was desired to
have adopted.
There were a number of
changes made desirable by the
changed conditions consequent
upon this nation having actively
entered into the war. The most
important of these changes was
in the statement of the purpose
of the organization, of which the
army and navy work is given the
prominent part.
Among other changes made was
the date of the annual meeting
which was made the last We'd
nesday in October instead of be-
tween the first and fifteenth Of
October. The chapter adopted
the new bylaws and it was
thought better to postpone the
election Of officers TO conform
to them and the election will not /
be held until Wednesday, Octo-
Der 3ist.
The new bylaws make an
other change. Under them the |
members of the chapter elect |
the executive committee and the |
executive committee elects the |
other officers of the chapter.
The executive committee is also |
given power to fill all vacancies |
in its own membership.
More interest is being shown |
lately in Red Cross work than
during the warm part of sthe
summer. The room is kept open
every day except Mondays, and
there is usually a goodly number
of the ladies who drop in to
work.
Considerable interest is being
in the country com
munities ouside of the city. Two |
Of the most hourishing of the
country auxiliaries are those To-
Gated at Trenry and Sanders.
In the one at Treffry the ladies
have not been able to get the men
interested to any considerable
extent and they are planning on
holding a meeting next Sunday
for the purpose Of trying to get
the men interested in the work.
A good program has been pro-
vided for and in addition the
ladies have asked the president
of the Chapter to send out some
good speaker 10 talk TO lhem.
