McMeeken claims self- defense. McMeeken recently sold a ranch to White and it appears from McMeeken’s statement that a dispute and quarrel arose as to the delivery of certain per- sonal property. McMeeken says he and White were in a cabin when the quarrel developed and that White was advancing upon him with a shovel to strike him when he shot. Upon observing that White was dead he left the cabin to proceed to surrender himself to the authorities. There was no thrid party pres- ent as. an_ eyewitness. The shooting occurred on Monday.

Cottonwood, up to the time of going to press last week had not definitely decided of en- tering the league and therefore we were unable to state positi- vely whether we would be a member of the league or not. A meeting was held Saturday evening at which time some im- portant matters were talked over and a date set for the elec- tion of officers. Cottonwood was scheduled to play at Kamiah and considering that no practice of any kind had been done gave the Kamiah In- dians a very interesting game losing by a score of 7 to 3 and with practice will ke able to put up a much better game. The Kamiah team is scheduled’ to play. here next Sunday. Those taking part in the game last Sunday were: Rhoades, catcher; South and Albers, pitcher; Edwards, 1st base; F. Terhaar, second base; South and Albers, short; B. Seubert, third; Geo. Hattrup, left field; Bies, center field; R. Gentry, right field. In the opening game of the league between Grangeville and Ferdinand, played at the county seat, Grangeville defeated Fer- dinand by a score, of 6 to, 3 he- fore a crowd of some 500 people. Hartnet and Cabot comprised the Grangeville battery while Fry and Atkinson represented the visitors. At Nezperce the opening game» was played between the Lewis county seat-boys and Ilo- Vollmer. The game resulted in a score of 17 to 9 in Tlo-Voll- mer’s favor: The following is aa schedule for the remainder of the season: MAY 11— Grangeville at Ferdinand. -{Continued on page 2) NEWS AU THE STATE Items of Interest From Various Sections Reproduced for Ben- efit of Our Readers, Rozak, an Austrian, was knock- ed unconscious and robbcd, he claims, of $3000 last Thursday evening at 10.

Burke, a resident of Boise, had been ‘drowned in the Snake river by falling from a syphon near Bliss was verified this week, ~|when boys fishing along the viver found the body. No one saw Burke fall but it was known he intended .to cross the river over the syphon. He’ disap- peared immediately thereafter. A. C.

One.of the most successful robberies committed in Latah county in many years occurred last night or early this morning at Bovil, when the postoffice safe was blown open and $1322 in stamps and cash taken.: The safe in Parker’s storé was also robbed, being blown open by ex- plosives, but’ it contained but $1.95, which was taken.

While searching in the woods near his home last Thursday for a lost calf, Amell Hubert of Post Falls discovered thé bones of a man’s body, which were later identified by a watch, by Bert Robinson, as those of George H. Robinson, his father. Mr. Rob- inson, who had been making his home with his son, disappeared about two years ago. As he was in the habit of disappearing, no search was made for him. - Mr. Robinson states that at one time his father was gone for over three years. No signs of vio- lence were evident. The skele- ton was lying in a shallow shel- ter, indicating-that the man had prepared it before he died. Sher- iff Quarles, Lawrence, Larson and officials from Coeur d’Alene this afternoon investigated the case.
