r. q. Convention.

Mrs. Mary Mitchell returned
Sunday evening from Boomers
Ferry, where she attended the Is
annual convention of the North
Idaho Women's Christian Tenn
perence Union as delegate from
the Nezperce union.
Mrs. Mitchell brings back many
helpful suggestions for. our local

people of Bonners Ferry. A hearty
welcome was given the delegation

extended thru the entire session
Good music was furnished by
the townspeople. A special fca-

appeared each evening in bright
red uniforms, rendering patriotic
and sacred selections.
Thursday afternoon, Mrs. A. G.

tana, gave a very interesting talk
on w. c. T. U. work in her home
state.
Mrs. Lottie Harmon, national
organizer, of Oregon, gave an adj

who has SO faithfully and eff
GENTLY served as state president
of the North Idaho w. G. T. U. the
last two years, cannot, on account
of poor health, accept the presi-

However, the work we are sure,
will be carried on with enthusi-
asm by Mrs. Lima j. Stouffer, of
Hope, former state superintend-
ent Of medal contest work, who
takes Mrs. McCrea's place this
year.
The 10th annual convention will
be held in Nezperce sometime in

FOREST LAD IS
BURNED TO DEATH.
Aaron Currier, Sent For Gasoline,
Found In Dying Condition
When Search Made Two
Hours Later.

Aaron Currier, 11-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Currier, of
Forest, was burned to death by
the ignition of gasoline last Fri
day night.
The boy rode horseback to the
Billy Wolfe place, about a mile
from home, Friday evening at Z
O'Clock. He carried glass jar,
intending to draw gasoline from a
car. A couple of hours later the
father, who had become worried
over his son s protracted absence,
started in search of the lad and
found him a hundred yards from
the house. stripped of his cloth
ing and severly burned all over
the body. The child, who was yet
conscious, was asked what had,
happened, and he gasped, 81 STEP
ped on a match at the ear. /"
Just how he caught fire will
probably never be known. 1t is
thought that his clothing had been
saturated with gasoline and the
spark of a match had ignited it.
He was tracked from the car to
Mason creek, a distance of a mile.
1t appears that, enveloped in the
flames, he rolled into the creek,
endeavoring to smother the fire,
and then started for home.
Medical aid was summoned and
his wounds were dressed, but he
passed away at midnight.
The funeral services were held
at the Forest school house Sun
day, Rev. Bramblett officiating.
Interment was made in the Nor
row cemetery.

Bros. a check for $74,404.89, in
payment for $4,000 bushels OF

largest grain farmers on the Nez-

check for their crop went over
$4,000 Recently, however. they
sold their 900-acre ranch to Frank

rangements to go to San Diego,
