pOGUE COMMITS SUICIDE

The death of DR.. w. F. .Pogue
at his ranch at Lucille on Salmon
river Monday was the result of
aconite poisoning taken, with
suicidal intent. Government Of
ficials had arrested Al Arthurs
at the Pogue ranch on the
charge of conducting an illicit
liquor still and had found the
still in the Pogue house. Pogue
left a note to his brother, Thos.
Pogue of Whitebird, in which he
said:
81 am not guilty of this"
The officers stated that DR..
Pogue had not been arrested
and no suggestion had been Of
fered that he would be arrested.
DR.. Pogue was about 45 years
old, had resided in Idaho county
for many years and enjoyed the
highest esteem of all who knew
him. Those who knew him best
are firmly convinced he had no
interest in the still operation,
but the circumstances were
such the he felt he would be
suspected. He was a man of
high standards and it is felt the
mental strain occasioned by the
circumstances resulted in a tenn
portry mental alteration and he
took the poison while in this
mind.

KILLED. MAN ON SALMON

hlLLED MAN ON SALMON
Neal McMeeken, a rancher of
the Wind river locality on the
upper Salmon surrendered him
self at the sheriff's office at
Grangeville Tuesday announc-
ing that he had killed Charley
White, a rancher of the same
section. McMeeken claims self
defense.
McMeeken recently sold a
ranch to White and it appears
from McMeeken's statement
that a dispute and quarrel arose
as to the delivery of certain per-
sonal property. McMeeken says
he and White were in a cabin
when the quarrel developed and
that White was advancing upon
him with shovel to strike him
when he shot. Upon observing
that White was dead he left the
cabin to proceed to surrender
himself to the authorities.
There was no third party pres
ent as an eyewitness. The
shooting occurred on Monday.

GENTRY SALE A GOOD ONE


The sale which was conducted
at the Gentry ranch northeast
of Cottonwood yesterday was
attended by a large crowd and
everything offered for sale
brought exceptionally good
prices. Horses sold exception
ally well. w. w. Flint, chair
man of the Victory Loan Com
mittee attended the sale in the
interest of the Victory loan but
demonstrated that he could sell
household goods and other ar
ticles as well as bonds and acted
as the official auctioneer during
the absance of Harry Cranke.
Through some misunderstand-
ingMr. Cranke was not present
at the opening of the sale but
being informed of the sale by
telephone at Lewiston he made
a flying trip from Lewiston to
the Gentry ranch in record
time of two hours and then took
his place in the auction ring and
sold the principal articles left at
fancy prices. The trip made
from Lewiston to the Gentry
ranch in two hours is consider
ed by many a record breaker for
this time of the year and shows
Harry will lie there almost un-
der any circumstances.

Many Take Their Share of the
Victory Bond Issue-Will

The Victory Loan drive this
week has been moving along
with great strides and it is ex-
pected that by Saturday, the
last day of the drive Cotton
wood will have subscribed it's
quota of $4,000. If everyone
who has not yet subscribed for

can be easily done and Cotton

ENGINEER ALLEN is DEAD

H. G. Allen, who up TO Two
weeks ago was state engineer,
resigning his position m order
to attend to some personal mat
ters died suddenly at Sprague,
Allen was state engineer at the
time the state was making the
preliminary survey of the north
and south road from Boise to
Lewiston and costing thousands
of dollars. The project which
was started by Mr.. Allen is one
of the largest ever undertaken
by the state in the matter of
road construction.
Allen for several years
was city engineer at Great
Falls, Mont, and was engineer
for the Day mining interests at
Wallace. He was 40 years of
age and is survived by his wild

routes t.. The attitude of the
Cottonwood Highway District
in the matter of road improve
ment. We give below the letter
in full.
Department of Public Works
Office State Engineer
Boise, Idaho, April 18.
Mr.. J. F. Jenny,
Cottonwood, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
We would like to know if you
contemplate construction north
ward from Cottonwood on the
proposed state highway leading
towards Ferdinand. We have
had our division engineer in
vestgating mail routes with the
idea of getting federal aid on
all future construction where it
can be obtained.
We do no find that you have a
mail route over the proposed
highway or adjacent thereto.
Will you please advise if there
is any LIKELIHOOD of a mail
route which would use a state
highway if constructed, and
furthermore whether or not
you have funds available to be
used in cooperation with state
and federal funds. Thanking
you for this information, l am
Yours very truly,
H. C. Allen, Director Pro TEN.
Immediately upon receipt of
this. letter the highway board
got busy with the result that
the rural delivery route has
been changed to follow the new
Greencreek road as far as the
Ecker ranch, almost to the
boundary of the Greencreek dis
trict. So it seems assured that
the government is willing to CO.
operate with us and we should
avail ourselves Of this good Of
fer by voting the bonds neces-
sary for our part next Monday.

Kamiah z, Cottonwood 3.
Ilo-Vollmer II, Nezperce 9.
In the opening games of the
Prairie League last Sunday
Grangeville, Kamiah and Ilo-
Vollmer were the winning
teams. Cottonwood, up to the
time of going to press last week
had not definitely decided of en-
tering the league and therefore
we were unable to state positi-
vely whether we would be a
member of the league or not. A
meeting was held Saturday
evening at which time some i'm
portant matters were talked
over and a date set for the cleo
ton of officers.
Cottonwood was scheduled to
play at Kamiah and considering
that no practice of any kind had
been done gave the Kamiah In
dams a very interesting game
losing by a score of 7 to 8 and
with practice will Ee able to put
up a much better game. The
Kamiah team is scheduled to
play here next Sunday. Those
taking part in the game last
Sunday were:
Rhoades, catcher; South and
Albers, pitcher; Edwards, 1st
base; F. Terhaar, second base ;
South and Albers, short; B.
Seubert, third; Geo. Hattrup,
left field; Bies, center field; R.
Gentry, right field.
In the opening game of the
league between Grangeville and
Ferdinand, played at the county
seat, Grangeville defeated Fer
dinand by a score. of 6 to 3 be-
fore crowd of some 500 people.
Hartnet and Cabot comprised
the Grangeville battery while
Fry and Atkinson represented
, the visitors.
At Nezperce the opening
game was played between the
Lewis county seat boys and TO-
Vollmer. The game resulted in
a score of II to 9 in Ilo-Voll-
mer's favor.
The following is the schedule
for the remainder of the season

VOTE ELECTION
MONDAY, 18TH
Seemingly Very Little Interest
Being Taken for or Against
Bond ISSUE.

Are you in favor of good
roads and do you want the State
Highway? DO you believe the
offer OF the State Highway
Commission to allot Federal ana
State money ON our roads is
worthy Of consideration.
If you do then come out next
Monday and help the good cause
along for it is then that we will
decide whether we want the
State Highway and whether we
will keep step with the progress
Of other sections Of the state in
road building or whether we
will wait another 10 OF Is years
and then instead of being on the
State Highway have to build a
spur to it something like Nez-
perez had to do to get a railroad.
1t would be- y case of the tail
trying to wag the dog instead of
the dog trying to wag the tail.
Fortunately there seems to be
little opposition to the issue.
The one thing that is worry
ing a few of the farmers south
of town is the matter of loca-
ton, the present survey cutting
up their ranches very badly.
But as we understand the mat
ter the commissioners are
pledged to insisting upon the
highway following the present
road as it is just as practical as
the new survey and they feel
confident that they have the
matter well in hand. AS to
making positive promises that
cannot be done without them
consulting the state engineer.
However, it would be well for
those people to get the inside
facts from the commissioners
themselves.
Did you ever drive the new
Greencreek road, either coming
or going. Well it's a dandy and
we would suggest that before
you vote you take drive over
it, you will need neither brake
nor intermediate just high, in
fact you could dispense with
your gears altogether. And
that is where some people said
there never would be a good
road. Let's get some more
roads like it, once we get them
the neighboring highway dis
tricts, will follow suit and within
few years the price will have
been forgotten. Let our slogan
be "Around the hills instead of
over the peaks" )"
Looks Good for Federal Aid.

Rozak, an Austrian, was knock
ed unconscious and robbed, he
claims, of $4,000 last Thursday
evening at 10. He was found
by Harry Raymond, one
of the new members of the po-
lice force, wandering on Main
street in a dazed condition, his
face covered with blood.
G.. Weber, Moscow harness
dealer, last week celebrated the
fortieth anniversary of his ar
rival in that town, since when
he has been continuously in
business in the same building.
When he came there were about
seventy-five white inhabitants
and only one store, kept by A.
A. Lieuallen, now dead.
The suspicion that Joseph A.
Burke, a resident Of Boise, had
been drowned in the Snake river
by falling from a syphon near
Bliss was verified this week,
when boys fishing along the
river found the body. No one
saw Burke fall but it was known
he intended to cross the river
over the syphon. He disap-
peared Immediately thereafter.
A. C. TIindman, Of Boise who
was appointed a short time d
United States district attorney
for the canal one, will leave
Wednesday evening for Wash
ington, D. c., where he will get
his passports. He will be joined
at Washington by Mrs. Hind
man, who has already gone east,
and they will sail from New
York for Ancon, where they
will live.
One of the most successful
robberies committed in Latah
county in many years occurred
last night or early this morning
at Bowl, when the postoffice safe
was blown open and 1892 in
stamps and cash taken. The
safe in Parker's store was also
robbed, being blown open by ex-
plosives, but it contained but
$1.95, which was taken. Both
safes are reported to have been
ruined.
The public utilities commits
sion is preparing to fight the
proposed increase in freight
rates on apples shipped from
Idaho points to eastern mar
kets. Tariffs showing the in
crease have been filed with the
commission by the railroad ad-
ministration. 1t is proposed to
raise the rate from $1.10 to
SIPS. This will work serious
hardship on growers in this
state, it is claimed.
While searching in the woods
near his home last Thursday for
a lost calf, Amell Hubert of Post
Falls discovered the bones of a
mans body, which were later
identified by a watch, by Bert
Robinson, as those of George H.
Robinson, his father. Mr.. Rob-
inson, who had been making his
home with his son, disappeared
about two years ago. AS he was
in the habit of disappearing, no
search was made for him. Mr..
Robinson states that at one time
his father was gone for over
three years. No signs of vio-
lence were evident. The skele-
ton was lying in a shallow shell
ter, indicating that the man had
prepared it before he died. Sher-
iff Quarles, Lawrence, Larson
and officials from Occur d'Alene
this afternoon investigated the
case.
