DEATH TAKES MRS. BAUNE.

No death, in many days has
shocked the community like the
sudden demise of Mrs. Tony

and even her close friends could
not believe that she had passed
to her final reward.
Mrs. Baune died of heart trou-
BILE, was about 81 years old and
is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Matt Duclos, two highly respect
ed citizens of this community.

LOMSKI WINS CONTEST.

kld Lomskl, OF Cottonwood,
received the judges decision
over Martin Lee, of Lewiston, at
the end of an eight-round mill
staged at the Temple theatre by
the Lewis-Clark Athletic asso-
citation Tuesday evening. The
fighters weighed respectively
$50 and 139 pounds.
The fight throughout was
leaning toward Lomski, who
consistently proved himself able
to get through to Lees face,
while the latter seemed unable to
batter through to the contenance
of the winner.
Both boys showed up well,
however, and the scrap through
out was good. Clean scrapping
prevailed at all times, and clever
work was done on both sides.
The end of the third round
found Lee groggy from the cons
tant uEbings about the head
from Lomski. Lee appeared to
recover somewhat, however, ard
the next two rounds were more
even.
At the end of the seventh
round the lighter man was bleed
ing freely at the face, and the
bell probably saved him from d
knock-out.-Lewiston Tribune.
Lomski spent the greater part
of last summer in this section
and is well known in this COM
munity, having boxed with local
fans on several occasions and al
ways came out victorious.

HELD
ON FRAUD CHARGE
INDICTED FOR ALLEGED
CONSPIRACY AT
CHARLESTON

Four former officers of the
First National bank of Clarks-
ton. which failed early in 1921
with a loss of about $3.50, 900 to
depositors, were arranged before
Federal Judge Rudkin of Spo-
kane Saturday and placed under
bond of $500 each which was
furnished. They are: c. F. Wat
erman, president; G. H. Water
man, vice president; w. A. Wat
erman, cashier, and A. Z. Bauch,
assistant cashier. They are to
go on trial in Walla Walla.
Secret indictments were re-
turned against the four at Yaki-
ma Wednesday on the charges Of
general conspiracy to defraud
the bank and to deceive the COM
ptroller of currency by false re-
ports. The alleged irregulari-
ties began June 80, 1920, and en-
ded February l, 1921. The ac-
cused appeared voluntarily be-
fore Judge Rudkin, except c. F.
Waterman who is laid up with
an injured hip.
Fictitious names, two of which
were "U. R. Wright" and Annie
Laurie" were used to represent
accounts, according to the
charges. They were also charg-
ed with collecting 25 to so per
cent of the value of notes for dis
counting, and with entering false
amounts to swell the assets OF
the bank.
The bank has since been reor-
ganiZed and is now under a new
board of officers.
The Watermans mentioned
above at one time operated
banks at Orofino and Kamiah
which failed at the same time.
The outcome of the trial in
Walla Walla will be watched
with great interest on the prairie
as the men were at one time pro-
minent in this vicinity.

as one would be led to believe,
Most of the people appear to be
contented and he attributes this
mostly to the fact that everyone
is busy. Industries of all kinds
are running at full blast.

porting to lie the last will and
testament of vonBargen was not

Hugh, Otto, Walter and John

ties approximately $4,000.

celned. A decision is to be Civ
en- by the probate court today.

.UHLENkOTT WAS
REAL PIONEER
LOCATED AT KEUTERVILLE
IN EARLY DAYS-FATHER
OF A LARGE FAMILY
(By a friendly

Wy IllIiiu.I
On Saturday, April the 1s.,
the mortal remains of the late
John J. II. Uhlenkott were ten
derly laid to rest in the private
cemetery of st. Gertrude's
amidst a large concourse of the
members of his family, many ap-
preciative friends and the Sisters
of the Convent. A member OF
the keuterville parish, Mr.. Uh-
lenkott departed from this life
at the residence of his daughter
and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Uptmor, early Thursday
morning, March 30th. The fun
eral service was solemnly cele-
brated in the parochial church at
keuterville by Rev. Martin, o. S.
B., pastor, assisted by the Rev.
Chaplin of the Convent, and the
Revs. Frs. Boniface and Michae',
0. S. b., of st. MichaePs Priory.
The imposing ceremonies be-
ing terminated, a procession
formed Itself and wended its way
to the convent grounds. The
fact that so many. despite the
day of the week, generally a very
busy one, and despite also the
bad condition of the roads, wish
ed to he present to accompany
the remains of their parent and
friend to their last abode here on
earth, was certainly an eloquent
tribute to the respect and es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Uhlenkott is
held in the community. The
church at Keuterville was prac-
tically filled and so was the chap
ell of st. Gertrude's where a reli-
gious service was held previous
to the burial. 1t was an impos-
ing sight to behold the crowd of
devout worshippers winding
their way up to the grave yard
along the road of the beautiful
stations of the Cross in deep
silence. No sound was heard
but the voice of the priest lead
ing in the prayers and that of
the people responding.
BY special privilege granted
at the earnest request of Mr..
Uhlenkott, his remains are in
tered in the private grave yard
of the convent in section set
apart for the notable benefactors
of st. Gertrude's, among whom
the deceased gentlemen easily
ranks among the first. Many
tears were shed, the instructive
tribute of nature, which, in this
particular case laid a large claim
on relatives and friends; but
withal there was among the at
tendance the prevailing feeling
of congratulation to the deceased
that he had, with Gods mercy
found a much needed rest after
his long life of activity, release
from his sufferings and pains
and a well deserved crown of re,
ward in return for his answering
fidelity to his God and his good
offices to his fellow-men. We
venture to say that many, if not
all. among the by-standers re.
ceived many inspiring thoughts
whilst witnessing the last solemn
rites and took home with then
the desire that their lives might
be as full of good works. theil
memory as hallowed and theii

VETO SHOWS OPPOSITION
TO ANY SOLDIER BONUS

President Harding's arguments
against the soldiers bonus bill which
he has just vetoed indicate his op-
position 70 any plan of adjusted
compensation for the soldiers, sail
ors and marines who fought IN the
World War save those who suffered
illness or injury as a result OF their
service
In many places in the message
which accompanied his veto Pre3i.
dent Harding uses language which
leaves no doubt that he will dis
approve any future bin of like in
tent. Although the country Is
grateful 10 these former service
men. the President says, ~ is not
to be said that a material bestowal
is an obligation to those who emery
ed from the great conflict not only
unframed but physically, mentally
and spiritually richer for the great
experience Elsewhere in his mes
sage the President recalls the poo-
pies willingness % do anything that
could insure victory in the war bot
he adds
"To a war necessity there wa
but one answer but peace be-
stowal on the former service men
as though the supreme Offering could
be paid for with cash, is a pervis-
ion Of public funds, a reversal for
the policy which exalted patriotic
service in the past, and suggests
that future defense is to be inspired
by compensation rather than con-
seriousness Of duty to flag and coun-
try"
The President argues against the
granting Of a bonus now as a pro-
cedure likely TO prejudice the care
Of the service men in the future.
On this point he says:
1T is essential to remember that
a more than four-billion-dollar
pledge 20 the able-bodied former
service men now will not diminish
the later obligation which win have
to be met when the younger veter-
ans Of today shall contribute TO the
rolls Of the aged, INDECENT and de-
pendent
Mr.. Harding's objections apply
not alone 10 what he considers the
Of the bill and the
methods which he has disapproved
but TO the whole policy Of paying
bonus 20 "able-bodied former serv-
ice men" who in his own phrase,
emerged from the great conflict
not only unframed but physically,
mentally and spiritually richer for
the great experience
