ABDUCTION IS CHARGED.

Warrants have been issued
for the arrest of Mrs. Charles
Rice and "Fat" Hyland, at
Grangeville, driver of a big au-
tomobile alleged to have been
used by Mrs. Rice in abducting
her little son from the home of
her mother, Mrs. Bentley, on
Salmon river.
Mrs. Rice was divorced from
her husband some time ago and
a stipulation was made by the
court that the custody of the g.
year-old son should be divided
between the father and mother
and neither should remove the
child from the jurisdiction of
the court or where the other par
ents could not visit him.
1t seems the boy was with his
father near Freedom and Sat
urday Mrs. Rice arrived at the
home of her mother near Free
dom and asked that the boy be
sent to her mothers house in
order that she might visit him.
This was done with the result
that Mrs. Rice and her driver
took the boy and disappeared in
the big car driven by Hyland.
The view is held that Mrs.
Rice and Hyland have fled into
Canada.
1t has since been learned that
Mrs. Rice was apprehended at
Vancouver, Wn., where it is stat
ed she placed her son in a school.
She has refused to return to
Idaho without eXtradition pap
ers.

PUT UP BUILDINGS.

Work was commenced this
week on the new concrete garage
to be erected by Felix Martzen,
on his lots east of the Cotton
wood hotel. The building will
be of cement and fire proof in
every respect, being 5Ox80 feet
in dimensions. 1t will require
about 80 days to erect the build
ing, which will be occupied by
South & Frick as a garage. The
new building will take the place
of the old structure which has
been occupied by the firm as a
garage the past summer and
the increased volume of business
has demanded larger quarters.
Another building being erect
ed in the city is the new coal
sheds being constructed by the
Madison Lumber Co. This build
ing is being erected near the
Continental Oil Co. stations on
the Camas Prairie railroad
right-of-way and will be modern
in every respect, being capable
of holding when completed six
car loads of coal.

KILLED IN AUTO.

w. F. Smith, better known to
the old timers as "Pin Head"
Smith, who for so many years
was conductor on the Clearwat-
er line running between Lewis
ton and Sites was killed at Spo-
Tuesday when an automobile in
which he was riding was struck
by an electric train at a railroad
crossing. He held the position
of conductor on the Clearwater
branch when all the business on
Camas and Nezperce prairie was
handled over this route and be-
fore the Camas Prairie railroad
was built. He has been in the
service of the Northern Pacific
for the past 80 years and was
the best known and most popu-
lar conductor employed on Idaho
division at that time.
1t has often been said of him
that he never put a man "of" on
account of not having the neces-
sary railroad fair, which proved
to be often the case in the earlier
days of the railroad. This is
one Of the reasons of his great
popularity and besides his sunny
dispositions he numbered his
friends by the thousands.

ORR FAMILY RETURNS.

DIR. and Mrs. Wesley +. Orr
and little son, Dick returned
Tuesday from a two months
visit in the east, having made
the trip in their Jordan car and
travelling some $500 miles, with,
out the least trouble.
While in the east, Mrs. Orr
and her son visited with her
parents at st. Peter, MINI, while
the doctor was at Chicago where
he took a three weeks post gra-
duate course at the Surgical
Technical Institute of Chicago.
The doctor also spent a week at
Rochester, MINI. in Mayo Bros.
hospital, which has an interna-
tional reputation.
They state the roads. general
.ly speaking, were in fine shape
especially in Minnesota and
North Dakota and certain parts
of Montana.
DR.. Orr stated there is a great
sentiment of dissatisfaction
among the working classes in
the larger cities he visited. He
was in Chicago when the big
steel strike was called and says
the police records of that city
are something tremendous, mur-
ders being committed in broad
daylight, and the guilty parties
in many cases escaping the con-
sequences.
While they enjoyed their trip
immensely they are more then
pleased to get back to Idaho
and Cottonwood in particular
to be again associated with their
many friends.

BURGLARY ATTEMPTED.

Night Police Officer Dick
Crea at Grangeville Friday even
ing discovered a burglar in the
Miller harness shop in time to
save the establishment from be-
ing looted. He noted a box in
front of the side door and when
he commenced Investigations, he
discovered the door open and a
burglar on the inside. The in
truder went out one door as Crea
entered the store but Crea took
several shots at the man as he
passed beneath an electric light
Crea is crack shot and the
burglar at least had a close call
if he was not wounded.
The burglar had ransacked
the cash drawer but found moth
ing of value. His presence was
discovered before he had found
about $50 in silver in an unlock
ed safe. 1t is believed the burg
lar is a local character.
Robberies of these kind have
been going on at the county seat
at different times for the past
three years and it has been the
aim of the officials to rid the
city of this undesirable element

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH
TEAM RAN AWAY THROW
ING ENTIRE LOAD ON
HIM NEAR HIS HOME

Mike Darscheid, who was haul
ing lumber from near Keuter-
vile to his ranch, to be used in
the construction of new home,
had a narrow escape from death
Monday evening about 6 o'clock
near the Henry Foresman place
when he was descending down a
hill and the brake refused to
work, causing the load to run
upon the horses who became fri
ghtened and ran away throwing
the entire load of lumber on Mr..
Darscheid and pinning his be-
meath. Members of the Fores-
man family, who witnessed the
accident ran out to assist the un-
fortunate man, being force to
use fence rails to pry the lum-
ber from Mr.. Darscheid in order
to save him from being crushed
to death by the lumber. AS soon
as possible the rescuing party
removed the lumber in order to
relieve him from his perilous
position.
DR.. Shinnick who was called to
the scene of the accident stated
that the patient was badly bruis-
ed and suffering from the shock
of the accident. He was remov-
eded to the Foresman home
were the doctor dressed his pa
tient and was made as comfort
able as possible. The injuries
received were as follows: Dis
located shoulder, broken rib,
fracture of small bone in right
leg between knee and ankle,
severe cut over right eve, knee
cap was thrown out of place,
badly bruised on right side and
badly bruised left hip.
The team, after the large load
of lumber was upset ran with
the front trucks for a distance
of two miles, leaving pieces of
the wagon scattered along the
way.
Persons who witnessed the ac-
cident say it was a miracle that
he was not killed outright, the
load when tipping over fell
across him lengthwise. leaving
his head out at one end and his
feet at another.
On Wednesday he was remov-
ed from the Foresman home to
his own by DR.. Shinnick who re-
ports the unfortunate man to be
doing as we'll as could be expect
ed. At the present time he is
suffering great pain from his
many bruises and from the
shock of the accident. No in
ternal. injuries were received
and his recovery will be only a
matter of time.
