Harry NJ Daugherty in which the
former attorney general quoted
from an alleged statement by Gas
ton p. Means, repudiating much OF
the evidence given before the sena-
torial oil lease investigating commit
tee and assembling such evidence TO
the instigation of Wheeler.
The Democratic candidate re-
turned to New York Sunday from
his Western tour and will confer
with William G. McAdoo upon the

Davis expressed satisfaction when
told that Governor Smith of New
York probably will seek reelection.
President Coolidge's speech before
the Holy Name convention Sunday
was almost entirely non-political. He
refrained from mentioning the Ku-
Klux Khan Dynamo, but, in speaking
of the need for discipline and rev
erence, acclaimed the principle of
religious liberty.
Senator La Toilette. speaking to
the Steuben Society of America in
New York Sunday, likewise omitted
politics, pleading for international
understanding. In Washington his
managers attacked the proposed
Coolidge farm relief commission. dc

farmers into a blind alley"

GRIM REAPER CALLS r. ). wIspv

After long and useful life, Thoma:
j. Wimpy answered the final summon,
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E
Nelson, in Clarkston at 4:30 Monday
morning, May 5. Pneumonia was the
immediate cause of his death, although
he had been in feeble health during
the past two years.
An impressive funeral service was
conducted at 11:00 O'Clock Tuesday
morning by Rev. N. e. Beach at the
Merchant chapel in Charleston, and this
was largely attended by relatives,
comrades and friends. The floral of
ferings were numerous and rich. A
quartet gave solace to the mourners
by beautifully renderings, "Shall We
Gather at the River my Hope Is
Built On Nothing Less,'' and 'sThe
Home Over There The remains, IN
charge of veterans of the Civil and the
World War as pail bearers, were given
their final resting place in the Lewis
ton cemetery.
The deceased was born in Blairs-
vile, Ga, in 1846. He enlisted in the
Union army early after the opening of
the Civil War, and served during the
last three years of that conflict In
Company F of the Second Arkansas
Cavalry. Following the war ne was
married and later he and his wife
came west. After residing for some
time at Latah, Wn., they moved to
this reservation and homesteaded 4
quarter section five miles northeast of
Nezperce. Here they lived and parti-
cipated in the development of the
country during the time succeeding
the opening of the reservation, until
failing health caused Mr.. Wimpy to
leave the farm. Since then they have
spent the winters in California, Ari-
iona and Charleston and most of the
in Nezperce. Besides his
widow, the deceased is survived by
four daughters and two sons, all of
whom were at his bedside when the
end came. The children are: Mrs. Z.
Nelson, Charleston; Mrs. VIM. Poteet,
CAL; Mrs Eva Boswell,
Mount Hope, Wn.; h. R. strickfad
den, Clifford, and Aaron and James
Wimpy of Nezperce.
Thomas J. Wimpy was stalwart
representative of the old school; a i
good citizen, friendly neighbor, hold
ing the esteem and respect of all who
knew him, and beloved by his family.
The sympathy of all goes out to that
household which is most sadly stricken
by his passing.

NEZPERCE DEFEATS GRANGE
WILLIE HIGH.

Z After being defeated by the Craig
mont high school team on April 26,
the Nezperce boys came back strong
last Friday and took the long end of
a 5-4 game with Grangeville on the
latter's grounds. :.
Cook for Nezperce pitched an ex-
cellent brand of ball and for four in
nings he kept the Grangeville batters
guessing. In the fifth he was relieved
by Huffman who also pitched good
ball.
Eimers, who started the game for
Grangeville, was relieved by Hazel
braker in the fourth, after Nezperce
had gone around for three tallies in
the third.

of Emerson, Stapleton, and Gibbons

during the course of the game they
got away with five high ones.

school team. After Grangeville de-
feate d Cottonwood two weeks ago on
the latter's grounds with a 1874 count,
she was given credit for having the
best high school team on the prairie.
