IN BIG DAMAGE CASE
WOULD HAVE TRIAL IN NEE
PIERCE CoUNTY-DENIEs
HITTING WOMAN

William Mulhall, former idaho cOun
ty stockman, who recently was made de-
PENDANT in a $4,000 damage case filed
in the district court of Idaho county by
Effie NJ. Newman, has filed motion for
change of venue from Idaho to Nez
Perez county Mr.. Mulhall says that,
inasmuch as he is now and at the COM
mencement of the action was a resident
of Nez Perez county, the case should
be tried there.
Mr.. Mulhall denies that, while Effie
M. Newman was in his employ, at his
ranch near Denver, he hit her, as alleg-
ed, and caused her to fall against door
or door casing, thereby causing injur-
les from which she was obliged to un-
dergo surgical operation, as alleged
in the complaint.
Mr.. Mulhall, however, states that
"plaintiff, without cause, excuse or pro-
vocation, became violently abusive,
threatening and aggressive toward this
defenadnt and toward members of his
family and assaulted this defendant and
threatened the members of his family.
and theerupOn this edfendnt, in edfense
of himself and the defense of his wife
and children, and in resistance of the
abuse. threats, assaults and aggressiOns
of the plaintiff, laid his lind upon the
plaintiff with so much force as was nee
essary to resist the plaintiff and to de-
fend and protect this defendant and the
members of his family Mr.. Mulhal
asserts that he "did no injury of any
kind whatsoever, physical or mental, to
the plaintiff. -
The defendant has filed a demurrer
reciting that the complaint does not
state facs sufficient to constitute
cause for action against the defendant.

Lays Down Reins After %
Years on One Job

After having driven the Salmon river
stage for almost twenty-five years, dur

the circumference of the earth at the
equator, Arthur (Beardy) Durham, cham
pion stage driver of the olden days of
the west and also of the new, has quit
his job, and now he confesses that he is
so nearly lost that he does not know
what to do with himself.
No more, asserts Durham, vol he

through the canyons of Idaho county,
for he is through for good-absolutely,
now and forever more.

In point of continuous service on one
stage line, Durham is believed to be the
oldest stage driver in the entire west.
And popular-Well, guess sa. Beardy
Durham, by reason of his jovial dispo-
sition and long period as stage driver
in central Idaho, is known and remem-
bered by travellers in all parts of the
country.

sweethearts who afterward became
their wives, and ranchers' daughters,
all have ridden on Beardy Durham s

Beardy Durham drove the first stage

other years he drove a light wagon.

Beardy, with a hearty laugh. 81 was
driving six horses and had twelve pas
sengers, number of whom were wo-
men. Six of the passengers were per-
ched on top of the stage, and six were
inside. One of the men was an expert
fiddler, and as we turned into Grange
vile, l whipped up the horses and drove
down Main street on the dead run. The
man with the fiddle was fiddling with
all his might and the passengers were
all singing or yelling as loudly as they
could. 1t was great trip, and surely
made an impression on the people OF
Grangeville. That night L discarded
the Concord, and the next morning-I
hooked up to stage similar to those
now in use. -

the following public statement:
"The committee feels that in
granting the relief provided in the
foregoing order it is its solemn
duty to warn the people that even
if the new restricted rules for the
use of fuel are observed by every
body and the use OF fuel conserved
to the utmost limit many people in

There is, very little coal in deal

THE usual reserve supply of fuel
in the hands of industries is ex-
hausted. Production in severe wealth
err never has been able to supply cur
rent needs. Under these conditions
current production of coal will be
consumed as rapidly as it comes
from the mines. There is likely,
therefore, to be times during the
winter months just before US when
the supply of coal will be exhausted.

to this community if we withheld

NEWEST GROCERY IN TOWN.

There will be new grocery in
town Monday morning, known as La

tia will sell and serve only the best.
Mr. Frank H. killeen. one of the
prominent contractors in our town
is one OF the proprietOrs of the new
store. Mr.. Killeen needs no intro
duction to the Algiers people. He
is we'll and favorably known for his
high standing i'll this community. and
his past business successes lend con-
fidences in his new achievement.
Mr.. DiaZ is a capable, efficient,
young man of pleasing personality,
and he will have charge OF the bust
ness in looking after the comfort OF
the trade and in seeing that they
are given what they want. Mr.. Kill

sale on Monday morning will be
fresh from the wholesale houses and
factories.
La Bonita" is also to have an up
to-date delicatessen department, and
for this, a display ice box has been
purchased, so that the customers may
see exactly what they are buying,
and at the same time, preventing the
people from handling the goods
which are offered to others for sale.

you will have nothing to loose in

h. G. HALL, ALGIERS NAVAL
STATION.

Many young ladies of Algiers
spent another enjoyable evening at
the popular K. c. Hall, Naval Sta
ton, last Tuesday. The dances still
continue to be high-class and refined.
Great credit is due to the young
ladies of the town who entered into
the spirit of these dances, and have
complied strictly with the wise regu-
lations that have been made for
these entertainments.
The secretaries do not say very
much but they are on the alert and
will enforce the rules in a courteous
manner. namely by not sending out
invitations to those who will DELHI
erately violate any of the rules. Most
of the young ladies appreciate this
method of keeping the dances high
class. and it is a real pleasure to
watch them enjoy themselves. For
convenience invitations can be OBJ
tanned from Miss Rita uratich at
the H. N. G. c., Sunday night. The
benefit for the organ is on in full
blast. Many tickets have been sold
and the organ is practically a fact.
This shows good spirit.
The chapel is nearly completed
and soon the boys will be able to
pray in it any time during the day.
