BRADSHAW KILLED
BY GUN ACCIDENT
THEORY OF SUICIDE DISCARDED
BY INVESTIGATION MEETS
ACCIDENTAL DEATH

| Ira D. Bradshaw, Kendrick farmer
was accidentally killed yesterday
and did not commit suicide as indi-
Gated by first reports, according tc
Investigations made by Dr.. F. M
Leitch, county coroner, and Deputy
Sheriff Grant Robbins, late yesterday
afternoon. It is believed by the Of
ficials after their thorough investiga-
tion that Mr. Bradshaw was killed by
an accidental discharge of his shot
gun.
Mr.. Bradshaw went out to feed his
chickens late yesterday morning and
took his shot gun with him to kill
squirrels. His wife heard one shot
and little later another shot, An
empty shell was found near the house
and another near the chicken coop.
A third empty shell was found in the
barrel of the shot gun.
Gun Accidentally Discharged
1t is believed that Mr.. Bradshaw
left his gun leaning against a barrel
while he fed his chickens and that in
picking the gun up again, the gun
was accidentally discharged and the
top of his head blown off.
Contrary to reports received by the
sheriff's office here yesterday Mr..
Bradshaw was recovering rapidly
from an illness three weeks ago. His
business was in good financial shape
and he was not respondent over his
health. He had gone to Kendrick the
day before and arranged for the en-
plOyment of man on his farm. Mr..
Bradshaw was At years of age. His
farm is three and one-half miles up
Potlatch creek from Kendrick.

TO ELECT QUEEN

HONOR AT DOKKY-SHRINE SIR
Gus AT LEWISTON

With but two days to go before
season tickets for the Dokky-Shrine
Society Sircus at Lewiston, May 10
IL, and IL, are turned in, Moscow
boosters are working hard to put over
Miss Helen Parsons as Queen of the
Sircus. Miss Parsons is well quail
flee. to act as Queen of the Sircus
and the chances of her election are
regarded as exceedingly good. There
is great deal of interest in Moscow
over the Sircus and Moscow people
are anxious to have Miss Parsons
elected Queen.
Since Lewiston and Charleston are
not permitted to enter Queen the
chances of putting over a Moscow
girl for the honor are considered as
good.
Represents University Also
Miss Parsons, if elected, will not
only represent Moscow but the Uni
versity of Idaho as we'll, as she is a
first year student at the university
and graduate of the Moscow high
school, She made highest scholastic
honors in the high school and is one
OF the best students of the univers-
ity.
She was selected by Moscow peo-
pie interested in the Sircus as Mos
cows only and most logical candi-
date. Season tickets for the Sircus
are now being sold and with every
ticket the purchaser can cast a vote
for Moscow. The tickets are good
for the entire three day Sircus and
in addition the purchaser has an op-
portunity to win a 1923, six-cylinder
Buick sport model touring car of the
value of $2125.

SALVATION ARMY
ANNUAL APPEAL
CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS FOR LOCAL
WORK MAY 10 TO 15-COUNTY
QUOTA $500

Adjutant j. Geo. Barry, financia
campaign director for the state o
Idaho, with headquarters at Boise, il
in the city in the interests of thu
Salvation army annual home service
appeal, the dates for which are Ma.
10 to Is. The adjutant, accompanied
by the .officer in charge of the loca
work, Capt. H. F. Grosvenor, was il
consultation with the army advisory
board yesterday-Guy Wolfe, Dr. J
A. Mcdaniel, J. S. Heckathorn, Geo
N. Lamphere, B. M. Schick, and R. B
Ward.
The quota for Latah county this
year is $500; two-thirds of the
amount raised will be devoted to the
local work in Moscow and this county
The other one-third will be appro-
priated for the various dependent
benevolences for which the state
funds are responsible.
The advisory board believes the
people of the community will recog-
nize the quota or budget as being a
very reasonable one. The facts of
the case are, that only the actual
needs are represented in the figures
and the salvationists and their friends
are confident that the people will do
their very best to put them over
the top.
The officers in charge of the local
work, Capt and Mrs. Grosvenor, are
rendering an excellent service to the
city and county Their program is
one that commends itself to those
who oro in tOuoh with tho work thew
have in hand. 1t has been correctly
stated that the work of the Salvation
army is a service that reconstructs
and does not pauperize.''
Adjutant Barry, with two assistants,
has been giving attention to the cam
paign at Lewiston, which will be COM
pleted on the 9th, after which they
will come to Moscow to assist the
local committee in the campaign.
The same loyal and efficient SER
vice which characterized the work of
the Salvation army on the battle fields
Of France is today examplified in their
necessary service on the battle field
of life. Financial need for the mo-
ment is very urgent, local funds hay
ing been exhausted shortly before the
first Of the year. Friends of this or
ganization are urgently requested to
be prepared to donate generously
when the solicitors appear at their
door or desk j. S. Heckathorn is
serving as treasurer

FLETCHER ATTENDS MEETING
STATE SEED SHOW DIRECTORS

0. 81. Fletcher, Latah county agri-
cultural agent, arrived at home We'd
nesday from Twin Falls, where he at
tended a meeting Of the board of di-
rectors of the State Seed Show, of
which he is a north Idaho member.
He states that some changes were
made in the nature of the show for
next winter. Instead of confining
the exhibits to the high standard
seeds, commercial seeds will be shown
also. Seeds exhibited, however, must
be representative of the seed which
the grower may have at home for
sale.
While the 1924 show will be held in
south Idaho, it is probable that the
1925 show will be held in north Ida
no, if any community wishes to as
sumo the responsibility of taking care
of the show, and meeting the neces-
sary expenses.

VANDALS EVEN UP
WITH AGGIES, 81
IDAHO KNOCKS WOODWARD FROM
BOX IN FIRST INNING FOR
SIX RUNS

University of Idaho ball players
evened up with the Oregon Agricul
tural college nine in the two game
series here by winning yesterday af
ternoon's game, to 7. The Vandals
got hold of Woodward's offerings il
the first inning, knocking him from
the box and bringing across six
runs. Cooley, in this inning, clouted
out a home run with two men or
bases.
The Idaho hitters went the length
of their batting order in the first
inning. Young was sent in to relieve
Woodward and pitched a nice game
of ball for the remainder of the con-
test.
Rally Falls Short
Fitzke twirled a nice game of ball
for Idaho and received good support
from the men behind him in the pin
ches. O.A.C. tried hard to even up
the score and in the fifth, sixth, and
seventh innings brought across runs.
In the ninth a rally by the visitors
was good for one run but the rally
was stopped before the score was tied.
Four home runs featured the game.
Cooley started the home run hitting
bee in the first inning. In the third
inning Skippy" Stivers, Idaho's
crack short stop, poked out long
home run over the Aggie's center
fielder. In the second inning two
O.A.C. players connected with Fitzke's
delivery for home runs. Ridings
opened the inning with long homer
and Perry duplicated the feat later.
Stivers Makes Nice Catch
A brilliant catch of a hard infield
fly, made hard to judge by the strong
wind, by "Skippy Stivers, furnished
the fielding sensation of the after
noon
Young famed seven Idaho batsmen
and Fitzke retired four of the O.A.C.
hitters by the strikeout method
ldaho's merry y-go-round in the first
inning really salted the game away
Runs were made in this frame by Os-
Edwards, Cooley, Marineau,
kleffner, and Fitzke. Stivers brought
in Idaho's seventh run with his homer
in the third inning. In the eigth
frame Marineau brought in the last
Vandal counter. He was hit by
Young, stole second, and scored on
6 Dusty" Klines long three base hit

SMASHUP TIES UP
INLAND TRAFFIC
SEVEN FREIGHT CARS GO INTO
DITCH-NO ONE INJURED
TRAINS CANCELLED

A freight train wreck on the Spo-
kane and Inland Empire railway
four miles north of Palouse al
$50 this morning caused a general
tie-up of the Spokane to Moscow traf-
fic today. Both the morning and
the noon passenger trains for Spo-
kane were cancelled and passengers
on the afternoon train were trans
ferred at the wreck.
No one was injured in the accident,
according to word received here
Meagre details of the wreck were OBJ
tanned here in that when the seven
freight cars went into the ditch the
telegraph lines were torn down. AS
result the Inland company was
forced today to get reports and trans
act business by long distance tele-
phone.
Cause Not Known
The cause of the wreck was not
known here this afternoon. The
freight train went off the tracks at
$50 this morning. The electric en-
gine stayed on the track but seven
box cars were thrown into the ditch.
Wrecking crews were called at once
and started to work and the wreck
will be cleaned up by this evening
and traffic continued on schedule
time Although no word has been re-
ceiyed as to the cause Of the accident,
it is believed from the nature of the
accident that the first car to go off
was defective and carried the six
other cars with it.

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN s
90. 1922, Harland H. Allen.)
TO BUY A GOOD COMB

The difference in the wearing quail
ties of the different grades of combs
may be a bit of new and useful infor-
nation to the shopper.
There is a wide range in the quality
of these goods. But what is hardest
for most of us to believe, is that these
differences are not due to the differ
ent grades of celluloid used, but in
most instances to the coloring matter
used, the method of manufacture, and
the way the article is finished.
There are three types of combs, the
sawed tooth, cut tooth, and the nodded
or pressed
The sawed tooth combs are the best
to buy. This is because of the method
of manufacture. In cutting the teeth,
the saw goes straight to the base of
the tooth, and thus gives a recrangu-
lar opening. at the base. In the cut
tooth comb, two combs are made at
once, and one set of teeth comes out
of the space between the teeth of the
other comb. This makes the openings
wedge-shaped. Mediuln-priced combs
are generally nodded. 1t is difficult
to distinguish them from cut combs,
but they are lighter in weight.
When buying a comb, then, it is al.
ways wise to look carefully at the base
of the teeth If the openings are
square, and the teeth are about the
same distance apart at the base and
at the point, it is sawed tooth comb.
When the openings are wedge-shaped,
you are looking at a cut tooth or mold
ed comb You pay more for a sawed
tooth comb, because it takes as much
labor to make one of that type as 1t
does two of the cut variety, but the
satisfaction of using one iustifies the
difference in cost You will notice the
difference in the way the hair catches
and pulls while sliding through the
wedge-shaped openings of the cut
combs, while it passes easily and
smoothly through the square openings
of the sawed tooth kind.
Most cheap combs have the tooth at
one end spreading out little from
the rest This happens in the process
of manufacture, and is bent into shape
somewhat when the comb is finished,
but little bulge can always be de-
tected This will help you to distin.
guish a medium-quality comb.
The better grade combs are
"grailed"; that is, the corners Of the
teeth are shaved off to prevent dirt
lodging at the base.

B0NEHEAD PLAY OF NOAH'S
Asleep at the Switch When He Had
Opportunity to Benefit the
Human Race.

Boneheads have been pulled since
the dawn of light. The idea that any
particular age sees them running wild
is a mistake The first famous bone
head that history records was pulled
by no less a parsonage than old Noah.
Noah simply couldn't see things
right he had no vision and, therefore,
missed the Golden Chance" He had
40 long nights In which to get up and
put the two mosquitoes in the world
out of business. He could have done 1t
with one smash of his fly swatter. But
Noah snored away at the switch and
in time the dove appeared with the
olive branch and the next day the peo-
pie walked off the ark onto land-and
the mosquitoes went with them.
There are many other famous bone
heads that might be here recorded, but
none of them equals old Noah's as a
work of art, so the committee ap-
pointed for the purpose has decided
unanimously to place his name in the
hall Of fame.-Bert Walker In the
Topeka Capital.

PUSSY HAD TO COME FIRST
Good Reason Why lmpecunious Pair
Couldn't Afford to Steal Cats
Provisions

A certain artist and his wife-who
is an artist, too-recall an incident of
their early studio days. A friend leav-
ing the city for few weeks left in
their care a large, healthy and hungry
looking cat with injunctions to give it
good care. The feline's owner left with
them sufficient funds to keep the cat
In meat.
The artistic pair, not having at
tained their present success, were the
reverse of affluent at the time.
'There we were, not eating regular
ly ourselves" said the husband the
other evening as he consumed the last
of large pork chop, "and we seldom
had meat. But we had to sit around
and watch the cat eat good liver"
'Why didn't you steal the cats liver
sometimes?" he was asked
"We wanted to-" he answered, "but
the animal wasn't fat and we were
afraid its ribs would show when its
mistress got back"

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest fol
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re.
jected is because kidney trouble is SC
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for a
sample bottle.s When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertiseme

"An acid stomach and indigestion
caused me indescribable suffering for
more than four years." he said. Awful
pains would strike me soon after eat

SUGGESTIONS FOR BUYING
CHINA

In buying china it is always wise
to select from "Open stock" The ad.
vantage of this, as over against buy
ing "set" Of which only few are
made and the pattern discontinued,
is that your dealer will always be
able tc supply you with the same pat
tern to replace breakage.
"Open stock" also permits you to
buy only few dishes at time, which
Is rather an item where the family
is small or the closet room scarce. In
deed it is always best to avoid the
lure of "112 pieces complete" as so
many of the pieces of such standard
sets are seldom used.
There are two grades of table ware ::
"frsts" that are perfect in shape, de-
sign and glaze, being the most expen-
sive, and seconds" which are imper-
feet in some one or all of these points.
1t is sometimes all right to select a
piece of table ware imperfect in de-
sign or shape, but never, never accept
one imperfect in glaze, as tho glaze
Is it's protection.
Avoid ornate handles, large knobs
and overdecorated rose garden" va
rieties. Two very popular designs are
the graceful bands in colors or gold
These are always in good taste, be-
cause the design is simple and pleas
ing, and the effect is harmonious in
combination with the other table ap-
pointments. The gold bands are less
durable because gold cannot be fired"
at very high temperature, and care
must be used to see that it is not
washed in hot water or strong alkali
soaps.
"Porcelain'' is the finest quality Of
tableware, transparent, fragile, and
most expensive. "China" Is the medi-
UNI weight grade most commonly used
so called because it Was first made in
China. Stoneware or "Whiteware" Is
the cheap, heavy type familiar in res
taurants and institutions.
When whiteware is Clipped, the soft
inner body absorbs stains. China and
ing, and cannot be stained even If the
glaze is broken. You can make the
test yourself with ink.
English china Is blush white, while
American china Is cream white. The
color has nothing to do with the wear
ing quality, however. Oriental and
English china is apt to be more frag
lie, while American pieces are designed
to resist strong shocks.

Railroad Robberies.

French railroads in the past three
years have paid total of 598,500, ,000
francs indemnity for merchandise
stolen in stations and transit, lost, or
deteriorated, it was announced recently
All but few millions OF this sum
which is considerably greater than the
budget voted for Frances army this
year-covered the work of railroad rob-
bers. No wonder that the French
passed legislation increasing greatly
the penalties of this type of theft and
providing in extreme cases the penalty
of hard labor for life.
