SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS ARE
 FOR HALIFAX

Before the day is over Six Hun dred Dollars will have been sent from Seward to Mayor Hoben as this city's contribution to the relief fund for the stricken ones of the Nova Scotia city. During yesterday afternoon variou. amounts kept pouring into the hands of Mayor Cotter and others will make contributions today. The showing iu Seward is a most hearty demOnstra. ton of free will offering for a wor- thy cause. Several days ago the Ca nadian Club of Seattle wired that it was making up a donation of $l5,OOC and asked the Alaskan towns to as- sist in raising this amount. Anchor age raised S2OO, and other places sub scribed amounts nearly as large as Seward has done. Seward sends it's money direct to Halifax, however.
 The following are among the late donations: H. Straus, $1; F. D. An trim, S3; Charles Krefting, $2; Geo Reynolds, $2; Charles Christiansen, $5; George Phelps, $5; Tom Tessie, S5; Mrs. J. J. Patton, $l; Albert Baumberger, S1; J. L. Graef, $1; R.. J. Munro, $5; Frank L. Ballaine, 50; Frank Lagerquist, $2; Miqua Miller S1; Lee James $2.5O and Thomas Me Conety, Sl.

EARLY TODAY CAUGHT
 IN FAST TIME

The Seward Fire boys are right or their toes when the bell rings and this was satisfactorily and cahably demonstrated this morning before 9 o'clock when the gong tapped. A blaze on the roof of the Wooley resi- dence on Third avenue caused the alarm and the boys responded in such short order that only a Pyrene was used. A small hole was burned in the roof. The blaze is believed to have been caught from a flying spark which lodged beneath a shiEgIe and was famed by the wind which was then blowing hard from the north.

RED CROSS SOCIETY is FORMED.

A meeting for the formation of Red
Cross society was held last evening III
the Creelman hall and was attended by
a good representation of our citizens.
Mrs. Paul GLADSTONE, of Lewiston, was
present and explained the objects of the
society and spoke at length on the work
being done throughout the country and
the need of a society in this portion of
Idaho. Five counties are needed to
form chapter and as the nearest chap
tiers are located at Boise and Spokane
it is believed another can be secured
for Lewiston without trouble.
1t is expected that the citizens gen
orally will join the local organization
and work to provide Red Cross sup
plies for the boys at the front, thereby
doing their bit to assist the fighting
forces of Uncle Sam. All kinds of arti-
cles are needed, such a bandages, small
articles of clothing, etc, and there will
be no limit to the amount of loving
labor than can be done at home to make
our boys safe and comfortable while ON
the firing line.
A second meeting has been called for
Wednesday evening of next week at the
X. C. hall when the best speakers in
the community will be present, songs
and music will be provided, and the
future work of the society will be more
definitely outlined. Let this be one OF
the most patriotic meetings ever held
here. Be sure to attend and bring you
friends. Watch for posters announcing
this meeting.-Cottonwoo Chronicle.

SUES FOR HALF OF ZIG ESTATE.
Warren Scott Adopted Son Of wallace
Scott Brings Action in Federal Court.

In suit filed in the United States
court, Warren +. Scott seeks half in
terest in the estate left by Mary II.
Scott, deceased wife of Wallace Scott
of Grangeville, well-known Idaho
financier, banker and merchant, the
action being directed against Mr.. Scott
in seeking an accounting Of the estate.
The lis pendens in the action was filed
in the county auditors office of Nez
Perez county yesterday. The attorneys
for the plaintiff are w. II. Casady of
Lewiston and Frank Moore of Moscow.
The lis pendens announces that a suit
in equity has been instituted to adju-
dictate the plaintiff "to be the son and
heir at law of Mary E. Scott, the de-
ceased wife of defendant, Wallace
Scott" and asks further that the plain.
tiff be adjudged sole and only heir of
the deceased.
The plaintiff as child was adopted
many years ago in Lewiston by Mr.. and
Mrs. Wallace Scott. Mrs. Scott died
March II, 1910.
In the action now filed the plaintiff
asks that an assignment of interest -
made by him ON May 20, 1911, be de-
clared null and void and also that the
probate court proceedings of Idaho
county, under date of June IL, 1912,
distributing the estate of Mary Z. Scott
to Walloce Scott, be set aside, this order
to also apply to setting aside the will
of Mrs. Scott, through which Mr.. Scott
acquired the wife's interest in the
estate.
The complaint sets out that under
the assignment of interest," referred
to the plaintiff secured the sum of
$15, 500, and that on June 23, 1910, he
secured the sum of 500 He asks that
in the accounting demanded of the de-
PENDANT the latter be given credit for
these sums and that the plaintiff then
be given one-half the separate property
of Mrs. Scott at the time of her death,
as well as one-half of the community
property.
The plaintiff is now resident of
Illinois, and his wife, Rose Scott, is a
party to the action. Until short time
prior to the proceedings which resulted
in the assignment of interest by which
the plaintiff secured the sum of $l5,500,
he resided with the Scott family at
Grangeville, where he was reared.
Wallace Scott is an Idaho pioneer
and in a number of business enterprises
was associated with John P. Vollmer of
Lewiston. He is now residing at
ngeville.-Lewiston Tribune.
