Killed in Woodland Sawmill.

j. G. McClintic Of Woodland
was killed Wednesday when he
fell on a circular saw in the Col
Inns sawmill near Woodland. The
exact circumstances Of the acci-
dent are not available, but while
he was at his duties around the
saw, McClintic fell on the revolv-
ing steel and was badly mangled.
One hand was entirely severed
from the arm and the thumb tax
en- off the other hand, while his
face was badly cut up. He lived
until about 7 o'clock in the even
ing death being due to the shock
and loss of blood. Mr.. McClintic
was about 50 years old and leaves
a wife and one son. He was a
brother Of the late Mrs. Harlow
Wood. The sympathy Of the en-
tire community goes out to the
bercaved family in the terrible
sorrow that has come upon them
so suddenly.-Kamiah Progress.

Lack OF interest seems to have
been the attributing cause of the
failure of a second proposed
meeting at Grangeville, last Sat
urday night, for the purpose of
organizing a prairie base ball
league for the coming season.
Only three other points than
Grangeville were represented at
meeting in that city on the pre-.
vious Saturday night and the
matter was continued over to last
Saturday night, when quorum
could not be had and this meet
ing was dropped.
It looks like such of the sport
as we are to enjoy this summer
must be furnished by each COM
munity going it Independently,
or by each community which can
muster nine. Last years exper-
ience, financially, took much of
the enthusiasm out of the sport
for several Of the prairie towns
and this feeling being coupled
with the tight financial condi-
tions now prevalent makes the
base ball question on this prairie
abnormally secondary.
Plans are in the making, how
ever, for a league on the Camas
Prairie, we understand, with
Ferdinand, Cottonwood, Grange
vile and the Denver-Fenn sec
tion playing.
Nezperce still has the material
for a good home team, with the|
exception of pitcher, and more
young material that might bel
worked into the real article ifl
given a chance.

A Little Journey and Things

In an after night drive from
Nezperce to Craigmont in which
Banker Zimmerman was the pilot,
and Mayor Mum, w. ID. Kirby,
George Oschner, and the report
er, were passengers, more than
ordinary grief was met. One
passenger limited that we were
victims of low grade of men
tality, or we would not have been
marooned on a hillside in the
middle of the night, far from
home, and one other was heard to
remark: "No more for ME, this
is the last; next time / have to
go to Nezperce / am going to
walk. +" Our grief was probably
occasioned by a gait that recog-
nized the high points of the to-
biography, but it must be said
that all reached home in fair
shape, the next day Lewis Co.

This may be due partly to a sori
Of general spread of that condi-

various important offices to be

satisfactory to the common

Teachers for Coming Term.

The faculty for the coming
term of the local public schools
has been only partly made up
there being three places yet to
fill, but so far the list bespeaks a
strong team at the helm and an
unusually good school year in
prospect. Those who have made
contracts with the board are:
Fred Rantz, principal Of the
high school, who has been chosen
for the position of superintend-
ent for the next term.
Homer B. Price, Of Spokane,
will have the principalship OF
the high school and be director
of athletics. He is strong in this
field, having had tow years in
athletic training of our boys
overseas, besides other exper-
ience.
Miss Ruth Scott, will succeed
herself in high school work, her
services for the past year having
been eminently satisfactory.
Mrs. Elizabeth Pennell, whose
work in our schools has always
been of the highest and most sat.
isfactory order. will complete the
high school corps.
In the grades Miss June Cole
and Mrs. Lille Anderson, two Of
the present faculty who are Civ
ing excellent satisfaction, will
continue their work here thru
the next term. There are yet
three grade teachers to be named.
1t is the plan to change the ma
ture of the domestic science work
for the coming year, eliminating.
the culinary features in large
measure and replacing them with
instruction in general household
economy. An added course, which
will be elective, is to be opera
ton and care Of the gasoline en-
gine, which would seem to be q
very desirable line for the boys
since the use of the internal COM
bustion engine has become so uni-
versal.

WATERMAN WRECKED
CHAIN OF BANKS.
Criminal Actions Started Agains
@. H. Waterman, Ward
Dempsey and Leslie
Roth.

The closing of the State BanI
of Kamiah, on April 8, and ex
aminations and audits of the
books and records of the banf
since that time by the state ex
aminers, has revealed that prac
tically every penal statute of the
banking laws Of this state has
been grossly violated.
A conference was held al
Grangeville Tuesday night at
which j. G. F'ralick, commission
er of finance and head state bank
examiner; III. G. A. Winter, aSsis-
tant examiner; Dean Driscol,
first assistant attorney general,
and G. c. Pennell, prosecuting at
torney for this county, were pres
ent. At this meeting is was de-
cided to institute criminal actions
against George H. Waterman,
president of the Kamiah Bank,
Ward l.. Dempsey, cashier, and
Leslie l.. Roth, assistant cashier.
Criminal complaints were filed
yesterday against these three
men and Sheriff Smith, today
placed the three men under arrest
at Lewiston, and will bring them
to Nezperce tonight
The charges against the three
officers of this bank are that they
made false statements, false en-
tries on the books of the bank,
and thereby deceived the examin-
ers for a long period as to the ac-
tual conditions Of the bank.
1t is understood that had the
real facts been known that this
bank would have been closed
months ago.
Excessive loans to amounts al
most unbelievable had been kept
concealed by clever manipula-
tions of accounts between the
several Waterman banks, and it
was not until a few weeks ago
that this was discovered, by plac-
ing an examiner in all the Wat
erman banks at the same time
and making complete audit.
The affairs of the Kamiah bank
are such that the depositors must
suffer an exceedingly heavy loss,
and liquidation will be a slow
process.

Making Local Federal Farm
Loans.

Loan Association as again taking
applications for Federal farm
loans. Notice has been received
from Spokane that $4,000 has al
ready been allotted to the local
association and that it is antici.
pated funds will accumulate from
now on.
The reopening of the Federal
Loan Bank is having a doubly
good effect in easing up the mon
ey situation in farming districts,
as it is not only meeting a portion
of the demand for this relief, but
is bringing some Of the private
loan companies more actively in
to the field for farm loans.

CITY WELL GOING
DOWN AT RAPID RATE

Work on the new well for the
city water system is progressing
very satisfactorily at this time. and
at the present rate will be complet-
ed at an early date.
The present well is supplying the
city in fine shape but a shutdown
might change the situation in a
short time SO the new well is being
rushed. When this plant is in work
ing order there will be no chance of
the city being without water for all
purposes.
While the consumption this sum-
mer is greater than ever before the
plant is taking care of the situation
in great shape and the pressue is
excellent at all time.
