FIRST REPORT OF DEATH

Six weeks ago word was received in
Cascade that Able was killed by being
gored to death by a bull, but recent
developments indicate that he was
murdered. Name of the alleged MUIR
derer has not been revealed.
DR.. Ben F. Hall, a Mason, of Walla
Walla, last week was sent to Cascade
to investigate the killing of Able.
Able was prominently connected
with railroad affairs in the west, and
had offices in San Jose, Cal. For per-
haps seven years he had owned a ranch
in the Big creek country, in the almost
inaccessible interior of Idaho, and was
accustomed to spend his winters on the
ranch, caring for his purebred cattle,
of which he was a breeder. He went
to his ranch last fall.
Several weeks ago word was receiv-
ed at Cascade that Able had been Kill
led by a bull. Rigorous winter wealth
err, however, prevented those who were
said to have found the body from
packing it to Cascade.

APPEALED FROM KoosKIA

Case of Murle Crook VS.. Gus Ranta

from the court of Justice of

is suit for money. About $40 is
involved.

SISTER DEMANDS PROBE

Recently sister of Able arrived at
Cascade from San Jose, and arranged
for a crew, headed by Dan Drake and
John Williams, of Knox, to start for
the interior on snOwshoes and bring
out the body. The crew at last reports
had not returned to Cascade, though
long overdue.
Since departure of the searchers
from Cascade, the murder theory has
been advanced, perhaps due to rumors
received at the Valley county seat
from the interior country.
Walla Walla Masons, who were well
acquainted with Able, have assumed
the burden of the investigation for
the fraternity.

ST. NICK'S DAY

In the strict order of things children
should have hung up their stockings for
Santa Claus on December 5th, and re-
joiced in his gifts. For it was the feast
of St. Nicholas alias Santa Claus. He
has nothing whatever to do with Christ
mas, and his visit then is an Anglo-Saxon
anachronism, which came from America
nifty years ago. AS their patron saint,
children were taught to look to Nicholas
for care and protection. To show the
reality of his love for boys and girls,
parents related that on his eve he went up
and down the earth rewarding the good
with presents, as he had in his life
secretly thrown purses of gold into the
rooms of poor maidens through the win
dow. Children were taught to hang up
their stockings which parents acting as
the saints deputies filled with sweets,
apples, nuts and toys. In England the
custom was abolished with the worship of
saints at the Reformation, and was re-
established in the American guise of
Father Christmas in the middle of last
century.
But in Holland Santa Claus makes his
visit on the right day, December sth. In
stead of stockings, the Dutch children
place their shoes, of the naughty contain
only birch. The custom is the same in
France. In southern Austria, a young
man, arrayed as ST. Nicholas, in episcopal
robes, visits each house and examines the
children in their catechism. To those who
answer well the saints attendant angels
give fruit and sweets, while demons are
admitted to terrorize the careless. On 60
ing to bed the children place baskets or
dishes on the window sill for his future
gifts. Catholic Germany furnishes the
transition between the origin of Nicholas
and modern Santa Claus. Arrayed as
Father Christmas, he visits each home and
questions the children as to their past
conduct. For the good there are cakes
and fruit, and for all lecture. He then
asks what presents they would like the
Christ-child to bring at Christmas.-Lon

PILGRIM MOTHERS

(The first baptismal names entered in tn

grims at Boston were those that appea

Pilgrim mothers-when your ship
Glove the wildness of the West!
When the sea-winds icy grip
Chilled the dream within your breast!
What of peril? What of woe?
What of pain and pestilence
Made you name your children So
PITY" "Joy," and "Recompense?
When your unaccustomed hands
Helped to break the stubborn ground
When your titles to the lands
Were headstone and a mound;
Whence your calm, submissive mood,
Midst the new worlds turbulence,
That you named your infant brood
PITY" "Joy," and "Recompense?
Pilgrim mothers-still the years
Hang their misty goals in space!
We in turn are pioneers
To an onward-surging race!
You who by the barren rock
Built the spirits excellence,
Make us worthy of your flock
"Pity," "Joy," and "Recompense!"
