| VOLUME 28, NO.8 ELLER GETS TWO STILLS THIS WEEK STILLS LOCATED NEAR KEUTERVILLE AND FERDINAND. \ Gary A. Karnes, of * Keuter- ville, charged with manufactur- ing, possessing and transporting intoxicating liquor arrested Sun- day in Keuterville, on Monday waived preliminary examina- tion, appeared before Judge Wallace N. Scales, of the district court in Grangeville and entered a plea of guilty. Karnes was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail and to pay a fine of $50. Karnes was arrested by sher- iff Eller and representatives of the state constabulary, who had heen working with the sheriff on the case. Karnes, according to Sheriff Eller, had a small moonshine outfit, which was found hidden in his home. Two quarts of an alleged white whiskey were seized. Pickins Bound Over Continuing his activities against alleged moonshiners, Sherff Eller on Tuesday, cooper- ating with Jim Rice, a federal agent of Lewiston, swept down upon S. B. Pickins, a bachelor, residing five miles west of Fer- dinand, arrested Pickins ona charge of illegally operating a still, and seized what is said to be the largest moonshine \ still ever discovered by the officers in Idaho county. Abandoning their automobile a mile and a half from Pickins’ cabin, the officers penetrated the thick timber on foot until they reached the place, they sud- denly entered and surprised the occupant. Liquor Ready to Drink A quantity of alleged moon- shine was found in a glass on a table in the cabin. —Pickins, ac- cordng to the sheriff, admitted he had some liquor in his pos- session. Subsequently two one half gallon jars filled with what was said to be whiskey were lo- cated in the cabin. “Come on, show us your still,” Sheriff Eller said to Pickins, when the alleged liquor was found. Pickins, at first, according to the sheriff, denied he was op- erating a still. The sheriff per- sisted and, according to Mr. El- ler, Pickins finally remarked: “Come on. I'll show you the best damned outfit you ever saw. Opens Trap Door Springing a trap door, Pickins led the way to the basement to the cabin, where a big still, in- cluding a boiler of 109 gallons capacity, and a brick furnace were revealed. One gallon and a pint of supposed whiskey were found. Fifty gallons of peach mash were nearby. Pickins and the moonshine outfit were brought to Grange- ville by the officers. Pickins, on Wednesday morning, was ar- raigned before U. S. Commis- sioner H. Taylor. He waived preliminary examination and was bound ever to the federal court on bond of $1000.—Free Press. | CLAUSEN—RUSTEMEY ER. Nicholas Clausen and Mary Rustemeyer were married at the Catholic church Monday morn- ing at 8 o'clock by the Rev. Fr. Willibrord. Mr. Clausen is a prosperous former residing on a ranch a few miles northeast of Cottonwood, where the happy couple will make their future home. The Chronicle wishes to be numbered with their many well wishing friends. | CHRONICLE LATE.

SHOULD ORGANIZE. Without a head or organiza- tion little can be accomplished in any undertaking and this also proves true to a fire department. ‘The fire Monday evening clearly shows that the ‘fire department should be organized, and must organize if it wishes to accom- plish any effective work—and perhaps some day save the city from a disasterous fire. | While Monday evening no doubt every- one did what he thought was best, the greatest damage re- sulted from excitement “‘or los- ing their heads.” Cottonwood has a fire equiptment as good and much better then the aver- age town and with an organiza- tion, we can see no reason why another scene.such as_ the one that took place Monday evening ever being repeated. In our es- timation, the fire the first of the week was very fortunate, not on- ly from a financial loss, but it al- so showed us that we must or- ganize and the sooner it is done the better for everyone concern- ed. Before the war Cottonwood had an excellent organization so lets make it as good again and it possible better. WILL CONVENE MONDAY. The spring term of the district court will convene at Grange- ville Monday morning with Judge Wallace N. Scales nresid- ing. On the court calendar are five criminal cases, seven divorce cases and: 47 civil cases. 30 HEAD OF HOGS SELL FOR $2700 MANY BUYERS FROM OUT- SIDE POINTS HERE TO ATTEND SALE, The thoroughbred Poland China hog sale, conducted at the Bide-a-wee hog farm four miles east of Cottonwood, and owned by Howard Mckinley was a grand success in every way. The 380 head of thoroughbred Poland China sows offered by Mr. McKinley brought $2700 or an average of $87.35 per head. The top sow sold for $155 and was purchased by Anthony Wes- sels of Greencreek. Besides local buyers, Arthur Cole of Pullman, a thoroughbred hog raiser purchased 6 head; R. E. Flock of Anatone, Wash. pur- chased two head. ‘Several mail- ed bids were also received by Clerk Matthiesen but in every ease these bids proved too low with the exception of the First Nationa! Bank’s bid of Clarks- ton. Mr. Mckinley was exception- ally well pleased with the results of the sale, the first of its kind ever held in Idaho county and which will no doubt be an annual event hereafter at the Bide-a- wee hog farm. Mr. McKinley also praised Auctioneer Zuver and Clerk Mat- thiesen who had charge of the sale for the excellent work of disposing of his thoroughbred stock and getting the buyers to attend the sale. The following is the catalogue number of the animals, the name of the purchaser and the price paid for the same: Arthur Cole, Pullman Wash. No. 9, Lady Josephine, $85.00, No. 10, Fairy Girl, $85.00.

These sturdy old pioneers who have lived at Keuterville for the past 24 years were born in Aus- tria and came to the U.

The services were attended by a large number of friends and truly shows the high esteem in which she was held. The remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery. A. H.
