fires STILL RAGE IN Nfz
Perez FORESTS. SOME Under
CONTROL. MUCH TIMBER LOST

Uu till Wednesday morning the fir,
situation in the Nezperce Nationa
Forest had not improved to any appre
ciable extent and the pail of smok,
hanging over the community indicate
that, the fires are maintaining goot
headway Notwithstanding the fact tina
many fighters are out doing everythins
possible to control the destructive ele
ment.
According to Forest Supervisor Nc
Harg there is fire raging over an ares
OF 200 acres on Clear Creek. This blaze
escaped from the ranchers in tha,
vicinity on Sunday and later reported
to the forestry office. On Wednesday
company Of q men was sent into tha,
section and it is hoped to soon have the
blaze there under control.
On Lightning Creek, four miles above
Harpster, fire is burning over large
area, having been raging for the past
two weeks. Twenty-Five men are com.
batting it but ON account of the tindeI
like dryness of the woods the flames
are hard to bring under control.
There was a small fire near Golden
on the south fork of the Clearwater but
the blaze was brough under control
Tuesday and extinguished. Ten men
have been fighting fire raging over
an area of 80 acres in the Leggat creek
country and succeeded in bringing it
under control.
Fifteen men under the forest service
were combating flames in the northeast
corner of Elk City township and have
the elements under control as it was not
burning fast. Nine men sent out this
week to the Southfork mine brought a
fire there under control.
The 8S men who left here Saturday
morning for Sheep Eater mountain
were reported on Wednesday as having
reached Dixie which is about 90 miles
from their destination. The fire there
is destroying much timber and every ef-
fore possible will be made to check it.

A FORMER Citizen

ENTERTA|NS
MONTE JONES NOW MANAGER OF
FAMOUS BUFFALO BILL RANCH
GIVES BIG DANCE.
FRONTIER DAYSuvELYEvENT
Jones Has An Active Part in Making
wyoming Event Howhng Success
On Old Cody Estate.

Frontier days are still pulled off in
wyoming in the wild and woody style.
such an event was recently staged at
Southfork, near Cody, Wyo. and is of
interest to us because former Grange
vlile citizens had leading part in max
ing the affair a success. This former
citizen is Monte Jones, son of Mrs.
! Nancy Jones Hender. Monte is now in
charge Of the TIE ranch, formerly owned
by Buffalo Bill, but recently purchased
by f. $. Groves, u multi millionaire of
Philadelphia. In commenting on the
Southfork Frontier days of August 9th
the Cody Herald speaks in forecast in it's
issue Of August 8, as follows:
At 2:30 the first number will be
called and until 500 the show will be
on. A roundup supper will be served at
the grounds and after supper the com
pany will go to the TIE ranch where
Monte Jones will give the opening ball
of that farfamed home now under the
ownership of +. s. Groves of Philadel.
phia who purchased it from the Col. w.
F. Cody estate.
In commenting on the event in it's
issue of the 18th the Heard mentions
the seven daredevil riders who climbed
the corrals waiting their turn at the
buckers. Jimmie Tuff, the invincible,
Lloyd Snyder, eats-em-alive, Glen Snyd
er, glue sticker; Flanagan the terrible;
Jeff Smith, the audacious; Tex Crockett,
fire eater; Even Holman, dynamitard;
all were there ready to give the rides of
their lives. Thirteen horses and nine
steers did their mightiest to throw the
boys. They did all the tricks known to
the animal kingdom to rid itself of prey
but finally exhausted gave up the un-
equal battle.
After supper the crowd motored to
the TIE for the opening dance of this
famous ranch under the new ownership
and management.
Mr.. and Mrs. Monte Jones ON behalf
of themselves and +. s. Groves, Jr., the
recent purchaser received the big crowd
i'll true western style.
The dancing was done in the big barn
loft and 175 people enjoyed themselves
until daylight. A four piece orchestra
furnished the music. At twelve sump-
tous supper was served at the ranch
home.
The TIE ranch will always remain
famous as the home of Buffalo Bill and
the hospitality which has always been
dispensed there is of the highest order.
Upon the death of Col Cody and the set
tlement of his estate, Mr.. Jones interest
ed +. s. Groves, Jr., a Philadelphia
multo- millionaire in the place and
through him the deal running into six
figures was made.

On Saturday the local sheriff 8 office
received telephone call from Chester
Thompson, proprietor of the Cottonwood
Rarage, saying that q young man had

md that he had traded the car to Swami
brothers of that place for team of
horses and wagon and that there seemed
% be such discrepancy in the values
That he feared that the car had been

Sheriff Yates investigated the matter
Saturday afternoon and found that the
Foung man after making the trade drove
bis team over to Ferdinand where he
old the outfit for $3.50 and took the
brain for Lewiston. Sheriff Yates wired
lewiston officials description of the
Fulprit and he was arrested when he got
bff the train at Lewiston. The boy
gaye his name as Francis Holt and is
low under custody.
The sheriff s office here got in touch
Nth the sheriff in Spokane and it was
found that the car that had been traded
for team at Cottonwood had been
Itolen from N. r. Hotter, q realty man

hnd held it here for the owner who ar
fived in Grangeville Saturday evening.

Team was also recovered and returned

The story told by Holt was that he
look the car from the vicinity of the
Eighteenth street bridge In Spokane and
that it was brought to Lewiston Nv
Fhree boys. His story is borne out from
fhe fact that two of the boys appeared
Rt the sheriff's office on Monday and

Fion gwen by Holt appeared at the farm

1t is probable Holt will be used in
Epokane to identify the boys who took
the car from the Natatorium park and
prove it to Lewiston. Mr.. Hotter stated
yesterday he and some friends had

that suffering might result As far as
can be learned no lives were lost in the

Reports to the forest service head

than officials had hoped for. Except
in the Salmon lake region, where q huge

swept through Missoula last night seems
not to have affected the fires much.

FIRE WIPES OUT AZ
HNKLE BUILDING SUNDAY



A fire Sunday evening totally des-
troyed the A. C. Hinkle residence at the
foot of Junction street near the depot
The place had not been occupied
for some time past but on Sunday
Alex Hinkle returned from Lewiston
and had gone to the honse to cook his
supper. He then went to the post office
after his mail. When he left the place
he says he thought the fire was about
out yet he turned the hampers and took
precautions before going away.
On his way back from the post office
he heard Grant Benedict, night watch
at the Northern Pacific station, sound
ing fire alarm on locomotive and he
also saw flames toward the depot. Rush
ing down Hinkle found his own home on
fire and the blaze having gained such
headway that nothing could be done to-
ward saving it nor the furniture which
all went up in smoke. This included
young Hinkles camping kit.
The fire department rushed to the
scene but could do nothing so they con-
tended themselves saving the residence
of Hans Gerlock nearby. The furniture
had all been taken from this place but
it escaped unscathed. The Hinkle
house was two-story frame with with
the furniture about $4,000 so the Free
Press is told. The loss is partly covered
by. insurance. Mrs. Hinkle, Alex g
mother is now in California. She mad
been visiting in Grangeville a short
time ago.
Mr.. Hinkle is engaged in farming in
the South Fork country but has been
maintaining a home here. It is pre-
sumed that a defective flue was the
cause Of the fire.
