Seth d. Jones Buys
Red Cross Horse;
To GiDe ii Awdy
RANCHERS DONATE STALLION
TO CHARITY-WILLB BE
SOLD AGAIN.

Seth d. Jones, the well-known Sal
mon river stockman, who has the repu-
tation of contributing perhaps more
money to the American Red Cross than
any other man in Idaho county, again
made liberal donation last Saturday
when he bought at progressive auction
the Belgian stallion Louis de Mondreau,
donated to the Red Cross by the Jupiter
Horse company, and sold in Grange
Vile.
Bidding at first was slow, but Mr..
Jones livened up the bids when he an
nounced that he would give So for every
So contributed by Grangeville persons.
Mr.. Jones kept his promise, and when
the bidding was concluded at the $l77
mark, the horse became the property of
Mr.. Jones' his total of bids amounting
to more than the total of bids made by
any other man. Mr.. Jones Immediately
donated the stallion to the Red Cross,
and bought it back at auction for $780,
Mr.. Jones then declared that he would
take the stallion to F'lyblOw on Friday
of this week and sell him for the bene-
fit OF the Red Cross.
Donation of the horse to the Red
Cross is considered a most liberal one
on the part of the members of the com
pany, as well as by Mr.. Jones, after he
purchased the stallion. 1t was the
opinion of some that the horse should
have brought more money, as he sold
far less than his market value. The
men who originally owned the horse
are A. J. Morris, William Zumwalt, E.
/. Chase, Sol clark and j. l.. Wilson, all
prominent ranchers. l. E. Zuver was
auctioneer and Bert Decker acted as
clerk.

which men are now working, is COM
pleted. Mr.. Surridge is circulating petit
tions asking for 215 mill tax levy in
Road District No. and in Road Dis
trict No. 26 to aid in construction of
the bridge. The money is wanted pri-
marily to build approaches to the bridge
from either side. A number of sigma

already have been attached to the petit

Partial Eclipse of Sun Visible Her

1t was twilight during the day in
Grangeville Saturday afternoon, when
perhaps 95 percent of the SUMS face
was hidden from view by an eclipse.
The shadow of the moon began to APP
pear on the sun Is face about 3 O'Clock
and to gradually move across the dial
until the sun appeared to be merely a
crescent. Then the shadow began to
move away and within little more than
an hour it had totally disappeared.
When the shadow first appeared, it was
necessary to use smoked glasses through
which to see it, but later the eclipse was
visible with the naked eye.

HIGH WATER DISAPPOINTMENT
Many Unable to Attend Roundup at
Flyblow.

High water in the Salmon river will
prevent persons from Camas Prairie
from attending the Red Cross roundup
at Flyblow Friday and Saturday. The
Grangeville Cowboy band and large
numbers of local persons have given up
plans to go to Flybow. However, it is
expected that the people residing west
of the Salmon will turn out en- masse.
and that the affair will be most sue
cessful. The sudden rise in the river
was due to warm weather melting snow
in the mountains. Few if any cross
ings of the river have been made this
week.

ESCAPED JAIL BY BEING
IN THE DRAFT GALL
Two Men We're Convicted of ViOlat-
ing "Bone Dry" Law.

William Rice and R. N. Scott
both of Solomon, were convicted in
Judge w. S. Leadbeater's court al
Solomon Friday afternoon of violat-
ing the bone dry law. Each was
fined 500 and costs and sentenced
to 80 days in Jail. However since
William Rice is in the draft and
was called to the service Saturday,
district Judge R. L. King, paroled
him.
Rice went to Kansas City and Sc
cured 16 quarts of whiskey, accord
ing to testimony of witnesses at the
trial which was held before a jury.
When he arrived at Abilene, he step
ped from the train at the Santa Fe
crossing west of town and was met
there by Scott, who was in car
The men were arrested by Sheriff
Sherman near the Sand Springs
school house. Evidence showed that
the driver of SCOTS car was not in
the "bootlegging game" and so the
charge Of violating the bone dry law
was only made against Rice and
Scott.
Rice has been convicted three
times of gambling and one time for
assault and battery. 1t is believed
that the army discipline will do him
good.
Scott was not at all satisfied with
the decision of the jury in Judge
Leadbeater's court and so he appeal
ed to the district court. He gave
bond for $1,000 and was released.
The trial will be held in the district
court in September.
AT one time Mr.. Scott was mar
shall of Solomon and his services
were quite satisfactory to the gen.
eral populace Of that town.

this obstacle by placing two machine

the left to cover that Of the right

BY this method 1t sounds like one
gun firing and gives the Germans the
impression that the gun is firing from
