The view is held that Mrs. Rice and Hyland have fled into |Canada, — It has since been learned that Mrs. Rice was apprehended at Vancouver, Wn., where it is stat- ed she placed her son in a school. She has refused to return to Idaho without extradition pap- ers. THANKSGIVING BALL. The Cottonwood Knights of Pythias are alreadv making ar- yangements for their annual Thanksgiving ball which will be held Thursdav. Novemher 27th. This is one of the hig socal | festnres of the vear staged in Cottonwood by this organization jerery year. ORR FAMILY RETURNS. Dr. and Mrs. Wesley F. Orr, | jand little son, Dick returned) Tuesday from atwo month’s visit in the east, having made the trip in their Jordan car and traveling some 6800 miles, with- out the least trouble. While in the east, Mrs. Orr and her son visited with her parents at St. Peter, Minn, while the doctor was at Chicago where he took a three weeks post gra-| duate course at the Surgical Technical Institute of Chicago. The doctor also spent a week at Rochester, Minn. in Mayo Bros. hospital, which has an interna- tional reputation. They state the roads, general- ly speaking, were in fine shape especially in Minnesota and) North Dakota and certain parts of Montana. Dr. Orr stated there is a great sentiment of dissatisfaction among the working classes in the larger cities he visited. He was in Chicago when the big steel strike was called and says the police records of that city are something tremendous, mur- ders being committed in broad daylight, and the guilty parties in many cases escaping the con- sequences. While they enjoyed their trip immensely they are more then pleased to get back to Idaho and Cottonwood in. particular to be again associated with their many friends. KILLED IN AUTO. W. F. Smith, better known to the old timers as “Pin Head” Smith, who for so many years was conductor on the Clearwat- er line running between Lewis- ton and Stites was killed at Spo- Tuesday when an automobile in which he was riding was struck by an electric train at a railroad crossing. He held the position of conductor on the Clearwater branch when all the business on Camas and Nezperce prairie was handled over this route and be- fore the Camas Prairie railroad was built. | He has been in the service of the Northern Pacific for the past 80 years and was the best known and most popu- lar conductor employed on Idaho division at that time. It has often been said of him that he never put a man “of” on account of not having the neces- | sary railroad fair, which proved | to be often the case in the earlier | days of tie railroad. This 1s one of the reasons of his great popularity and besides his sunny dispositions he numbered his friends by the thousands. DEARING-LANCASTER Edwin M. Lancaster and Miss Mae M. Dearing, two prominent young folks of the Salmon river section were married in Lewis- ton Monday by Judge I. C. Hat- tabaugh. The young - married couple arrived in Cottonwood | Tuesday evening and departed for the river where they will make their future home. On Friday evening of this week a big dance will be given in their honor by friends of the couple at their home. Mr. Lancaster is a son of Lula Lancaster, one of the | most successful woman stock | raisers in the state. The Chro- | nicle wishes this popular young couple happiness and prosperity as they pass on over life’s high- | way. SALE A GOOD ONE. The sale, conducted at the Mac Master ranch last Thursday was attended by a record crowd and articles offered for sale brought fancy prices. Furniture, won first prize, as far as prices were concerned, in many instances bringing twice the original cost. Grain hay sold for $35 a ton. Horses sold from $75 to $185 each and machinery also brought good prices. Mr. Mac Master was especially loud in his praise for Auctioneer Harry C. Cranke who he said “Can’t be Beat” and “who knows the value of articles to be sold.” Mr. MacMaster was so well pleased with the results of the advertising in the Chronicle, the medium which he used in plac- ing the facts of his sale before the public, that he placed his subscription to the Chronicle 8 years in advance, stating this was one way he could show his appreciation to which we heartly agreed. Mrs. MacMaster and family departed Sunday morning for Spokane where they will make their future home until such a time as it takes Mr. MacMaster in finding a new location. He will join the family in about ten days. WILL MOVE TO ASOTIN. Mr. and Mrs. August Von Bargen, one of Idaho county’s most highly respected and pros- perous farmers expects to re- move to Asotin, Wash. within a short time where they will make their future home. Mr. Von Bargen has turned his exten- sive land holdings in the Fenn section over to his sons who will operate the same in the future. Mr. Von Bargen recently pur- chased a home at Asotin. In regard to the purchase of the home the Asotin Sentinel has the following to say: Mr. and Mrs, August Von Bar- gen, from Cottonwood, were visi- tors to Asotin a day or two last week and while here purchased or agreed to purchase, the Geo. Sauer place on Riverside street, and the papers are being fixed up for concluding the deal at an early date.

They have several children who will attend school and are anxious to get them started. Mr. Sauer plans on fixing up his property on the corner adjoining S. J. Sargent’s residence and will occupy that in a short time. GIVE SURPRISE PARTY. About 60 friends of Mr. and Mrs. A, Halthaus, gave them a very pleasant surprise party at their country home Monday evening. Music and cards were the chief amusements indulged in, after which an_ elegant luncheon was _ served.
