An election Of importance will oc

precincts, Kathleen and Branchboro.
these precincts being included in the
territory which 1t Is proposed o
create into special road and bridge
district. The purpose Of establish
ing this road district is to construct
and pave drive around Lake Hol-
lingsworth; a road from Socrum to
the Pasco county line; a road north
from Lakeland to the vicinity Of Fox
town, thence east to connect with the
Auburndale district road; road from
Foxtown to Providence.
1t is estimated that these roads

posed is that the district 1t Is sought
to create, issue bonds to pay SOC, 900
Of this cost, while the county as a
whole pay 100000. It will be neces-
sary to have special legislation to
enable this to be done and there Is

and white, with Easter lilies on the
altar and gladioli in the chancel.
The congregations were large at all
services and the seating capacity was
insufficient at the last morning serv
ice. The choir's Offering of music
has not been surpassed in the history
Of the parish. During the day severa!
special Easter offerings were taken,
and it is matter of great rejoicing
among the members Of the parish tina!
each Offering was larger than the
amount asked for. The Sunday school
Lenten Offering will be larger than
last year. which was banner year !.
The Offering of the young ladies guild
is sufficient to pay the balance Of the
churchs debt for the rectory and re,
pairs. The Offering of the ladies' will
meet all apportionments against the
parish for the current year. The Of
fering Of the men will cancel all in
debtedness Of the parish and leave a
substantial balance. All told, the Of
ferings yesterday amounted to near
ly $500.
The children's service, which was
held in the afternoon, consisted oil
evening prayer led by the Sunday
school superintendent and an address
by the rector. The Junior choil
marched to the foot of the chance
singing Onward Christian Soldiers
and carrying bouquets of flowers
with which they decorated larg'
cross before taking their seats in tn,
choir stalls. The music in this serv
ice, which consisted of Easter hymns
was rendered by the children, as wei
as the recitation of the thir,
Psalm which they recited al thu
proper moment in the service.

DEAD SHOT REED
ADDS ANOTHER TO
LIST OF VICTIMS;
NOW KILLED four
Notorious Bad Man of Central
Idaho Stays George Crassel,
Rancher in Valley County
Wife Sends Child with Gun to
Husband and He Shoots
Man in Fight over Stock

dead Shot" Reed, a notorious
character of central Idaho, has shot and
killed George Crassel, rancher, resid-
ing on the South Fork of Salmon river,
about twenty miles east of Mccall. The
shooting occurred late in June, but word
Of the killing has just been received
here through the Payette Lake Star,
newspaper published at Mccall.
The newspaper account of the kill
ing is as follows:
Thursday morning of last week w.
L. Reed shot and instantly killed Geor-
&c Crassen. Both men live on the South
Fork of the Salmon, about twenty miles
due east of Mccall. The ranches are
four miles apart. There has been bad
blood between the two men 70 several
years, and the tragedy caused no sur
prise here.
''Crassell was in Mccall on the Mon
day previous and left for home Tues
day morning, being in a hurry to get
back on account of the forest fire on
the north of his place. 1t is said that,
when he arrived home, he found some
of his fence broken down and Reed s !
stock in his field. He got on his horse
bareback and rode to Reed g place, tax
ing his rifle along. When he reached |
the Reed place, Reed was a short dis
lance away at work, and while Crassell |
was talking with Mrs. Reed she man
aged to send one of the children out to
Reed with q revolver. When the two
met, it is said Crassell fired two shots
at Reed, when the latter shot him
through the heart. The body was left
lying where it fell from the horse until
the arrival of the coroner, when the in
quest brought out the story as related
n the foregoing.
"Crassell lived alone and there is
no evidence except that given by the
Reeds, so there will probably be no pros
,cution. The deceased frequently pre-
licted to Mccall friends that Reed
would kill him some tine, and report
vas current a year ago that he had
lone so, but it proved premature.
Reed is known as Dead Shot Reed
md this is said to be his fourth killing.
Those present at the inquest said Reed
vas apparently unconcerned about the
natter, and his family likewise"

This Widow With
Nine Wee Ones in
Sad Phght---Help!

. What would you do if you
were the widowed mother of nine
children and had no money with
which to feed their hungry
mouths and clothe them, except
$40 a month allowed by the coun-
", under the mothers pension
law'
Imagine, if you will, providing
more than 900 meals a month
/. from $40, buying clothing, shoes
and frewood, with which to keep
the family alive and together
, all with $40 a month, 81 month
each for mother and nine children.
, Surely there IS no candy for these
; kiddies, and no Santa Claus at
Christmas time. There 3 no but
ter on the table, and previously
little meat, except what the
neighbors bring in.
There is mother in Idaho
county in precisely this position.
This brave little woman, widowed
for more than a year, is hero
ically striving to keep her fam
lily together-save the babes from
an orphans home, for only the
eldest child who is just II years
old, is able to work. and earn
a few dollars during the summer
with which to help his widowed
mother, sisters and brothers.
From the II year old lad, the
ages of the Riddles range down
ward to the baby, chubby
fingered little fellow, who will
be . years old next September.
The mother and children reside
mountainous part of Idaho coun-
on a hillside homestead in the
ty. The mother this year planted
garden, hoping that she could
raise food for her larder during
the winter. But the drought
shriyeled the garden truck, and
there will be no vegetables for
the kiddies.
The mother at last has appealed
to the probate court for addition
al aid. The court has procured for
her house in Grangeville, and
the family will be brought here,
where it is believed the mother
and children will fare better than
IN the lonely dried-up homestead. .
The court has asked the Free :
Press to let the public know of
this family, and it is urged that .
persons who have clothing suit
lble for the children leave the .
garments at the Free Press OF .
fee for the mother and the kid
dies. The probate judge wants
cloting that is clean, and suitable .
for wearing-worn out stuff will
be of little value. Especially are .
shoes needed. Any contributions
in the way of clothing for the !
Riddles surely will be appreciated .
by this poor mother and her
flock. !

COMMISSIONERS OF
COUNTY TO DECIDE
UPON COURTHOUSE
REGULAR JULY MEETING OF
BOARD CoNvENEs HERE
MONDAY

The board of county commissioner:
met in regular July session in the
courthouse i'll Grsngeville Monday
Bills were allowed and routine business
transacted. On Thursday the boaro
began consideration of the remodelinQ
of the old school building, purchased
by the county last April, for a court.
house.
The school building, several years ago
abandoned by the school board for
school purposes, and later used as an
armory, and subsequently as hospital,
was purchased by the board of county
commissioners last April for $4,000. At
that time the board took no action on
the matter of remodeling the building.
Last April, however, it was estimated
by the board that, with the expenditure
of a few thousand dollars additional,
the building could be made suitable as
a seat Of county government for years
to come.
The memorial to Idaho county soldiers
and sailors slain in the great war will
be erected on the grounds lately ac-
quired by the county. Whether the
memorial will be in the form of wing
to the courthouse, or a monument to be
erected in front of the building, has not
been decided.
Plans for arrangement of county of
fees in the old school building have
been prepared and will be laid before
the commissioners. Plans call for offices
on the main floor, on either side of the
corridor, and for offices and a court
room and chambers on the second floor.
A room for witnesses also win be pro-
vided, according to the plans as prepar
ed. The courthouse will be provided
with all modern conveniences. The in
terror will be generally rearranged, and
fire proof vaults for preservation OF
records will be installed.
What disposition will be made of the
present courthouse, has not been deter
mined. The building, erected in 1904 by
he city of Grangeville, is occupied |
lnder 99-year lease by the county Offices
The annual rental is 81 year, but coun-
" records do not disclose that this
entail has been paid in recent years.
Under the terms of the lease, the
county still has an S4-year lease ON the
,uilding, but it is likely that, when the
of the schooi building is
and the county offices have
,een removed to that structure, the
ounty will permit the lease to lapse, and
he present courthouse will be on the
ands of the city.
1t has been suggested that the court
Dom he reaoOred and used as dance
all and for other public purposes.

the yield of spring grain will be very
slight
Good results can still be had poison
