giving praise to one auctioneer over

and in this particular instance we think
Tom Malone deserves a lot Of praise.
We have heard about every one Of the

we never heard one any better than
Tom Malone on Saturday last. He put
forth his very best efforts in the Sheri-

worked at a great disadvantage be-

Old son of Fred Greek, Az miles
southwest of town, was driving a
bunch of horses about a quarter
mile from his home. last Thursday
morning, the horse he was riding
stepped in a badger hole, throw
ing him to the ground and pain
fully iniuring him. His father
was near the scene Of the accident
and carried him to the house and
sent for medical aid. The little
fellow suffered great pain, so that
a thorough examination has not
yet been made and it is uncertain
as to whether the horse fell on him
or not. His injuries seem to be
confined to one hip. Although he
received severe shaking up and
shock, his condition is not con-
sidered very serious. The boy was
in restless condition last night,
with some fever. All the friends
of the family hope for rapid re-
cOvery.

Citizens of Nezperce wer,
shocked by the fatal accident tha'
befell Clifford G. Bell, younges
son of Mr.. and Mrs. d. E. Bell
near his fathers home Monday
afternoon.
There were no witnesses to the
accident, the boy having beer
found lying in the road uncon.
scious by Lester Delp, who was
binding grain in a nearby field
Young Bell had left his home OH
horseback Just few minutes be-
fore. The almost lifeless form was
carried to the house and medical
assistance summoned. 1t was de-
cided to take him to the Lewis
ton hospital, DIR. Gist and the
the boys parents making the trip
with him, starting about ten
O'Clock that evening.
DR.. Eikenbary, of Spokane, was
sent for and he and the staff of
the White hospital did all possible
to save the lads life. Upon ex-
animation it was found that the
skull was crushed, pressing upon
the brain. the cause being presum-
ably that he had been stepped on
or rolled on by the horse. At
about nine O clock Tuesday ian
operation was performed but, be-
ing too weak to rally from the
shock, the little victim passed in
to the great beyond about two
hours later.
Funeral services were held at
the Church of the Brethren yes
terday afternoon at two p. M, by
Elder B. j. Fike. Interment was
made in the local cemetery.
The bereaved family, who are
among our most highly respected
citizens, have the sympathy of the
entire community. Clifford was
well known and liked by school
mates and friends, having spent |
all of the twelve years of his life
here, and with all of the life be-
fore him, with its hopes and ex~
pectations, his passing is sad in
