EXTEND FAIR
ONE DAY
RAIN SPOILS PROGRAM FOR
OPENING DAY-CLOSING
DAY SATURDAY.

Grangeivlle, Idaho, Oct. IL.
Especial to the Chronicle) Rain
forced those in charge of the
Idaho County Fair and Border
Days at Grangeville to call off
the first day program on We'd
nesday. Thursday, the second
day of the fair as advertised saw
the opening of the fair and a
large crowd was in attendance
Officials have extended the fair
for one day, closing Saturday
evening instead of Friday even
ing as was originally planned.
Insurance against rain was
carried by the fair promoters in
the sum of $1,000 a day for which
they had to pay a premium OF
500 a day.
A large number of Cottonwood
folks took in the fair at Grange
vile yesterday and all report
having a good time. The roads
they say are in very good condi-
ton. A much larger crowd is ex-
pected to attend the fair from
Cottonwood today, this being
due perhaps to the fact that to-
day is a legal holiday, Columbus
Day.

STLYE SHOW A SUCCESS.

The style and fashion show
staged by the Leggett Mercantile
company at the Orpheum, Mon
day evening, drew a large crowd,
and was a general and complete
success.
The stage was tastefully decor
ated with autumn leaves and
potted plants. The Cottonwood
orchestra provided music and
the affair took on the nature of
a reception rather than a strict
ly style show.
The crowning feature of the
affair, however, was the live
models displaying gowns and
millinery. The models were all
local ladies and were of different
types and especially adapted to
show off each particular style.
In addition, a display was given
of boys clothing, school girls
sweaters and dresses, mems
suits, etc. In each case a live
model was used to bring out the
maximum effect.
The contrast in styles of to-
day and those Of yesterdays
brought forth much favorable
comment from the audience.
The Leggett Mercantile is tt
congratulated upon this splendid
advertising feature.

AGED INDIAN WOMAN
ROBBED OF $1,000 IN CASH
Money Had Been in Trunk For
Some Thirty Years
$500 in Gold.

While absent from her home
for few hours Wednesday.
Ella Monteith, an aged Nez
Perce Indian woman of Kamiah,
was robbed of more than 81 900
in gold and currency by burglars
who entered the woman's resi-
dence, near the school building,
pried open the trunk in which
she had for years kept a part of
her wealth and then made their
escape unnoticed, says the Lew
iston Tribune.
Mrs. Monteith, whose husband
one of the thriftiest of Ne2
Perces, died about one year ago,
made her home with another old
Indian woman. Wednesday morn
ing they left for Kooskia for a
few hours visit and upon re-
turning the loss was discovered
The affair was reported but no
arrests have been made, nor is it
possible to point suspicion at
anyone.
Of the money taken there was
$500 in $40 gold pieces. This
money had rested in the family
trunk for almost 80 years, re-
presenting a land payment made
Mr.. and Mrs. Monteith when the
reservation was opened. The
remaining loss is divided into
three S100 bills, $500 in $5C
bills and a number of 500 pieces
of currency, the exact amount ir
the last instance not being GER
tain, but it is stated that it will
run into several hundred dollars
Authorities are requested t(
be on the lookout for persons
trying to pass gold pieces or bills
in the denominations figuring
in the crime if suspicion shoulC
be directed to them.
