IN FIGHT HERE WEDNES-
DAY NIGHT

Sailor Lawson of Lewiston. was
awarded the decision over George Lew
is of Spokane in a l0-round bout in
the Odd Fellows hall, Grangeville.
Wednesday night.
The fight went the entire ten rounds,
before a crowd which perhaps half
filled the hall. Little enthusiasm was
manifested by the crowd, during the
bout, and while it is generally felt
that Lawson was entitled to the de-
cisiOn the bout is declared by certain
observers to have been tame affair
The boxers weighed 1873 pounds each.
Lawson, all through the fight, held on
with bulldog tenacity, while Lewis
a wiry lad, was able to defend him
self in fairly good shape. Lawson APP
peared not to suffer from any of the
numerous blows inflicted upon him by
his adversary. In the fifth round,
Lewis began to show slight fatigue.
Lawson held up better.
The first real mixing took place in
the fourth round. In this round, Lew
is showed blood on his shoulder, and
in the fifth round Lewis nose began
to bleed, following a severe blow
from his opponent.
Lawson stumbled IN the slXth, put
Immediately recovered his bearing In
the eighth, Lewis fell to the floor,
but on the eighth count arose and
continued the fighting. From this
point on, it was clearly visible that
Lawson had the best of it. In the tenth
round, Lewis struck Lawson hard
blow under the chin, but failed to
develop enough strength to overcome
his opponent before the final gong
sounded Lewis supporters claim he
had Lawson bested with respect to
points.

Quake Is Distinctly Felt in
Columbus District, North
of Grangeville; q Tremors
Buildings Are Shaken in KAN
iah, and Stovepipes Are Jar
red from Holes in Chimneys

Two distinct earthquake shocks, each
of only a seconds duration, were felt
in Idaho county on last Thursday af-
ternoon. about l clock. The second
tremor closely followed the first.
Houses and other buildings were rock
ed. shaking of dishes was observed,
and stovepipes were Jared from chin
ney holes.
The earthquake was first reported by
State Senator N. B. Pettibone, who re-
sides in the Columbus district, ten
miles north of Grangeville. Senator
Pettibone called the Free Press late
Thursday afternoon, after the paper
for last week had gone to press.
The senator inquired whether an
earthquake had been felt in Grange
Vile. When Informed in the negative
he recited the story of the quake
which rocked the Columbus district.
NJ. Pettibone was in the house
at the time the tremors were felt.
They were so distinct as to cause com
ment among persons i'll the house, who
identified the rumblings as earth tire
mOrs.
William Workman, neighbOr of Sen
atOr PettibOne, also felt the quake
at his place. No damage was caused
by the earthquake in the Columbus
country.
The quake was distinctly felt in
Kamiah, eighteen miles from Senator
Pettibone's ranch At Kamiah the
seismic disturbance was sufficiently
strong to shake the entire town.
Buildings were rocked and dishes rat
tied. Panes of glass in the school
house windows were cracked.
The Kamiah Progress for last Fri
day told of the earthquake as fol
lows:
"What appears to have been ian
earthquake shock was quite plainly
felt i'm Kamiah yesterday about l
p. m. It was noticeable in all parts
of town and for a period of a second
or so and was strong enough to shake
buildings and jar stoves pipes from
their chimney holes. No damage was
done however, and we have heard of
no other disturbances in the surround
ing towns and sections.

Governor Davis arrived in
Grangeville Thursday night from

at the train by a committee
from the Commercial club, COM

Old Clothes
Late Style in
Coast Cities

Old clothes are the style among Sc
attle's most prominent business men.
according to w. V. Gilbranson, OF
Grant Smith & Co.,who was in Grange
vile Sunday on his way to the com
anv's camp near Whitebird, after
having spent three weeks IN coast
cities.
"Business men of Seattle are or
ganizing against the excessive cost
of clothing" said Mr.. Gilbranson,
"and are determined not to purchase
new clothes until the price tumbles.
Everywhere, in hotel Hobbies, offices,
elevators. one hears expression of SEN
timent for the wearing of last year s
suit, or the suit of several year s vln-
tage. One often hears such remarks
as: you re not going to buy a new
suit this year, are youf
"About the only men one sees
wearing new suits are young chaps,
and laboring men who are drawing
HIGH wages, and who never before had
enough money with which to buy a
good suit of clothes.
"Silk shirts, also, have been placed
under the ban by all men OF the bet
fer class. Only the bootblacks, porters,
and the like are wearing silk shirts.
I entered one Greek bOotblack stand,
where all six bootblacks were clad IN
silk shirts as a part of their ralment'
The wearing of silk shirts is consider
ed very bad taste in Seattle. "
"Alreadv effect Of this boycott on
high priced clothing is seem" contln I
ned Mr.. Gilbranson. Silk SHIRTS
which formerly sold at $24 each, now
are marked down to $12, and men s
suits have dropped somewhat in price

Is CraigmOnt
Now Instead
lilo, VOllmer

"For North is North and South is
South
And never the twain shall meet. -
So much could have been said of the
towns of Ilo and Vollmer, each striv-
ing for the supremacy, the one over the
other, until a few months ago when
business men of the towns realized
futility of the strife which has exist
ed since building of the Camas
Prairie railroad, and decided to in
corporate the towns under one name
that of Craigmont, taken from Craig
mountain, which stands majestically
nearby the heretofore rival towns.
The towns were built on opposite sides
of the railroad.
By order of the U. S. government,
the postoffice has been changed to
Craigmont, effective as of April II,
and now all letters intended for per-
sons residing either in lilo or Vol
mer, should be directed to Craigmont
The two towns will be legally in
corpOrated as one on June II, on
railway station will be changed to
Craigmont, under order of the Camas
Prairie railroad.
The Lewis County Register, news
paper published at Ilo. last week APP
peared as published at Craigmont.
Thus perishes the dream of the late
John P. Vollmer of Lewiston. that he
could found town which would per-
petuate his name to posterity, for soon
the names of Ilo and Vollmer will
exist only in the dim and almost for
gotten past.
