days. His face was also filled
with ashes and debris from the
stove. Internal injuries were
feared by the doctors at their
first examination but he appears
to be practically out of danger
at the present writing.
The force with which the
stove was thrown about the
room tore several pieces from
the corner of the sink which
was made of heavy material,
impressions of the flying stove
were left in the ceiling. Lead
ing from the kitchen are four
doors, and the locks on each one
of them were broken.
What made matters all the
worse was the fact that Mrs.
Wren was bedfast at the time of
the accident, and she too suffer
ed from nervousness caused by
the shock.
DR.. Shinnick who is taking
care of the patients at the pres
ent time stated theat they were
getting along as well as could be
expected.

WEATHER MODERATES.

After a week of weather rang
ing from zero to % below, a re-
lief came Monday evening when
the thermometer registered far
above the zero mark. The cold
snap has left many families in
Cottonwood with a small supply
of fuel on hand, but while no ac-
tual suffering was experienced
many water pipes, fruit and 9TH
er eatables were frozen in their
winter quarters where they
were thought to have been pro-
perly guarded against Mr.. Jack
Frost.
Good 16 inch wood is selling in
Cottonwood at $40 and S11 g
cord while at Grangeville wooC
merchants are asking $13 for
foot wood. What coal is being
sold in Cottonwood is in small
quantities so that no one will
have to go without the black
nuggets if they so desire to burr
them.

HAY BEING
SHIPPED IN
ABOUT 25 CARS ALREADY
AND WILL BE MANY
MORE BY SPRING.

1t is an unsual spectacle to see
farmers unloading baled hay
from a railroad car and taking
it home for feeding their stock
because in former years baled
hay one did see was loaded into
cars and shipped out to the cities
or to sections where timothy
would not grow. While Cotton
wood has never been much of a
hay shipping station yet some
6 OF 7 years ago a good deal of
timothy raised in the Keuterville
section was handled through the
local warehouses here for Coast
shipment. But this year the
unusually short crop and the
prediction of weather prophets
of a hard and long winter has
caused farmers to lay in a supply
to take care of their stock. Many
farmers who are now buying
could no doubt have secured
enough hay of their own raising
by cutting more grain for hay
but at the price of grain and con-
sidering the poor quality of the
straw and coupled with that the
advantage of alfalfa hay for
young stock over that of grain
hay no doubt has been a factor
in bringing about this condition.
Stockmen have had hard time
of it this year. Last spring it
was so dry that pastures did not
get the good start that is nee
essary for continued growth
during the summer. The sum-
mer was the dryest in the his
tory of the country and to make
matters worse we had no fall
rains whatever so that the river
ranges are almost barren. Stock
has been on dry feed for many
months already and with three
months of winter ahead of us
yet it behoves every stockman to
prepare in time and the only sur
plus hay available must be ship
ped in from the alfalfa produc-
ing sections. Yakima and Top
penish have furnished nearly all
shipments so far made but it is
reported that the surplus there

STOVE EXPLODES
AT WREN HOME
FROZEN PIPE WAS THE
CAUSE OF THE EXPLO-
SION NEAR FEM

The stove that exploded at
the Jim Wren home near Fem
last Saturday morning, due to
the water pipe being frozen
which led into the hot water
front of the stove, almost cost
the life of Mrs. Thompson, form
erly a Miss Swatman of Ferdin-
and and Clifford Wren, the 8
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jim
Wren.
Mrs. Thompson, who is en-
ployed at the Wren home start
ed to prepare breakfast as usual,
and not knowing that the water
had frozen during the night be-
tween the tank and the hot
water front was standing over
the range when the explosion oc-
Cured. In the room at the
time of the accident were Mrs.
Thompson, Clifford Wren, and
his little brother, who escaped un-
injured. Mrs. Thompson re-
ceived the greatest injuries, and
that she is alive today is a my
stery to DR.. ]. D. Shinnick and
DR.. G. S. Stockton who were cal
led to attend the patients. Mrs.
Thompson received the following
injuries: A piece of the frontal
bone over right eye was cut out,
cut upper and lower eyelids OF
the right eye into, compound
fracture of the cheek bone tc
angle of the mouth, right eye
was lying out of socket on cheek
bone, compound fracture of the
little finger on the'right hanC
at the joint,numerous othel
bruises over the face and hand
So great was the explosion thai
it filled her face with ashes anC
debris from the stove.
Clifford Wren, who was stand
ing near the sink, a few feet
away from the stove, was strucl
a glancing blow by some part Of
the flying stove over the stom
ach near the heart, causing
slight abrasion of the skin hui
tearing his clothes completely

RETURNS AT LAST.

Paul Terhaar son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Terhaar arrived in
Cottonwood Wednesday evening
from Camp Sheridan where he
was just recently released from
military duty. Paul arrived in
the U. S. from France in October
and owing to his enlistment re-
cords having been lost he was
not released from military duty
until a few days ago.
Mr.. Terhaar joined Company
E at the outbreak of the war and
has the distinction of being the
last soldier of that old organiza-
tion to be released from duty
and is also the last soldier to al
rive home in this community.

ing beside the names Of the boys
who made the supreme sacrifice
the names of their mothers. The
mothers of these martyrs have
rendered a conspicuous service
to the cause for which their
sons fell. They furnished the
heroes, and in their loss have al
ready suffered more than the
boys, and will bear the addition
al burden of loneliness and hard
ship down the long trail of the
future. While we remember the
heroic boys it is unfair to forget
their equally heroic mothers.

STUMP BURNING.

There was a story going the
rounds in Cottonwood this week
to the effect that smoke was
seen escaping from the earth
near Keuterville the first of the
week and that an earth quake
was probable in this section on
the 18th according to astronom-
ers who predicted that quakes
would be frequent on this date
but they failed to materalize.
After a closer investigation it
was found to be an old stump
burning.

$4,000 WORTH.

Few people have any idea of
the small fortune that is invest
ed in batteries for automobiles
alone. This week at the Dye
and Buettner garage more then
$50 auto batteries has been left
at their concern for recharging.
While there are several other
garages in the city that does
similar work this by no means is
all of the batteries used by car
owners in this immediate vici-
nitv. At an average value of
$40 it represents an investment
of $4,000. This concern has a
capacity of re-charging 80 bat
tries at one time.

REHEARSALS BEGUN FOR THE

MNSTRELS.

Rehearsals for the Knights OF
Pythias minstrel show, which is to
be put on the stage at the Grand
Opera House in this city, by the
knights OF Pythias at an early date
were begun last night.
The rehearsals last night was
mostly in the nature Of an assign
ment of parts to the performers, who
are to be drilled in their work by
Gov. Bowen, Of minstrel fame, and
Prof. A H. Morehead, the latter
having charge of the musical part OF
the program. The personnel of the
show includes large number of

OF whom have had large experience
in other similar enterprises in this

The street paving company which
constructed Main street, and which
was under bond to keep the street in
repair for a certain number of years,
sent letter to Paris officials enclOs-
ing check for 500 to pay for so
much needed improvements. The
letter received said that the sending
of the check was the only action the
city could take it or leave it, as it
might suit their pleasure
Certain parts of Main street have
fallen into state of bad repair, be-
ling in really deplorable condition.
Holes as big as the circumference
of hogshead have been worn in the
surface, while a series of smaller
ones are scattered from Tenth street
to Second. A ride at fair speed over
Main street is a good remedy for a
torpid liver, and the jolts these holes
occasion would drive away even the
| alcoholic blues"
The new street ordinance for the
construction of certain streets with
improved materials was passed by
unanimous vote. The city is to pay
one-third and the citizens two-thirds
of the cost of construction. The
Council confirmed the recommended
ton of the Improvement Committee
in the selection of Mr.. A. H. Boeh-
mer, Of Louisville, as construction
engineer.
| Chief of Police Link reported he
had notified all delinquent persons,
who had failed to take out licenses.
The various names were handed over
to the legal department for action.
