physically fit to engage in a gain
full occupation, should at once
make appliation for compensation
or medical treatment. This is
done by executing Bureau of War
Risk Insurance Forms 526, 539

Mrs. M. Kelley, an aged and
highly esteemed lady of this com
munity who had recently return
ed from an extended visit with
her son and daughter, John Ham,
ilton and Mrs. Horace Niles, at
Savageton, Wyo., had the misfor-
tune to sustain a compound frac-
ture of her left thigh in a fall at
the Chas. Cook home III this city
Tuesday afternoon. She had tax
EN- dinner with the Cook family
and a short time after the meal
stepped out on the back porch
for something, when she slipped
on an icy spot and fell An x-ray
examination showed that the larg-
er bone Of the left thigh had been
cracked just below the hip joint,
and OH "Wednesday morning the
sufferer was taken to Lewiston
by Mrs. Tress MCCLELLAN and Miss
Bertha Schafer, where her injury
is being treated in a hospital.
The distressing mishap is made
the more deplorable by a series of,
misfortunes of which this good
woman has been the victim in the
past few years. Something over
two years ago, when she was REL
siding with her husband on their
80-acre farm in the Alpine sec
tion north Of Nezperce, they lost
a son after an operation for ap-I
pendicitis and later Mr.. Kelley
died after a brief illness. She
went to Wyoming last fall to live
with her children, and came back |
to Nezperce a couple of weeks
ago to take steps to save the 20I
acres of her little farm on which
her home and other farm build
ings are located. 1t seems in al
lotting this so to Mr.. Kelley as a |
homestead some clerical error
had been made in the land office
and the 20 acres in question is a
portion of an Indian allotment.

other Victory.

The High School basket ball
squad played their fourth game
Of the season with Grangeville at
that town last Friday night and
won by a score of 25 to IL. Both
teams played hard but the Nez-
perez boys had them outclassed
in teamwork and shooting quail
ties.
During the first half the game
was Just one continuous fight all
the way through. The home boys
started out with the fiveman de-
fense and worked it fine until
along toward the latter part of
the first half when it broke up
and the Grangeville huskies roll

made an equal score Of IL to IL

With the coming Of the second

up within the deadly short-shot
range. The game was altogether
one-sided during the half and

In Tolls On Booze Charge.

Jerry Kern, Of Forest, this
county. and S. B. Pickens, OF
Westlake, Idaho County, are in
the county Jail here and will be
taken to the Nez Perce county
Jail at Lewiston tomorrow to be
held to answer to a charge in the
Federal court of introducing liq-
uor on the reservation.
These two men were taken into
custody at their homes Tuesday
by Sheriff w. j. Smith and Rob
ert Broker, of Craigmont, who
had been deputized to assist in
the arrest. Their arrest resulted
from the fact that on Sunday
they drove into Craigmont with
five gallons of moonshine whis-
key, which brew was purloined
from their rig which they left in
a livery stable owned by Bernar
McPeak and conducted by him
and Louis Kincaid. When Kern
and Pickens discovered their loss.
they held McPeak and Kincaid
up at the point of gun and mad
the former come across with two
checks for $68 each and the latter
with $l2, the amount Of cash he
happened to have with him. 1t
seems that Pickens pressed this
collection rather over Kern S pro
test.
When the offenders left Craig
mont. the sheriff's office was no.
titled and their arrest followed.
Owing to the peculiar nature of
the case definite charge was not
placed against them until today,
when Prosecuting Attorney Pen
nell defined the action to be tax

Prairie Farmer Represents Lewis
County

The Boise Capital News Of last
Sunday contained a good picture
of Representative Jarnagin of
this county and the following
comment and bit Of history along
with the picture:
There is a certain combination
that makes very steady and de-
pendable type of legislator
farmer who has had practical ex-
perience on county boards, high
way district commissions and dis
trict school boards. That's the
very qualifications possessed by
M. L. Jarnagin, of Craigmont,
Representative in the House from
Lewis county.
This is Representative Jarna-
gins first term in the Legislature
and for that matter, his first es-
say into politics. But he led the.
ticket in his county, which is a.
reliable testimony of his neigh
bors confidence in him.
Mr.. Jarnagin has a 600-acre|
farm on Nezperce Prairie, right
at the edge of the timbered land
He has raised some 65-bushels
per acre wheat. Sixteen years
ago, when he first moved toI
Lewis county, he had not an acre
and scarcely a dollar. He thinks
Lewis county is about the finest
part of the United States, and
Judging from the vote he receiv-
ed in the last election, Lewis
county places a pretty high value
on him. He is almost a native
of Idaho, by the way, having TAX
EN- up his residence at Haley at
the tender age of one year, com
ing with his parents from Iowa.
But a few years later removed tol
Oregon, and did not return tol
Idaho until 1904.
The Lewis county solon's first
are highways and edu-
cation. He is chairman of the
Evergreen highway district COM
and for about eight years
has been clerk of the board of
trustees in his school district.
The experience he has gained in
.hese positions will not be amiss
N his work on the committee to
which he has been assigned
banks and banking, charitable
md penal institutions, engrossed
md enrolled bills. and state Ii
,rary. He is chairman Of the last
named.
