~. COTTONWOOD CHRONICLE VOLUME 28. NO. 39 COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1920 EXHIBIT HOGS AT BOISE FAIR FUNKE AND McKINLEY TAKE 16 HEAD TO STATE FAIR Sixteen head of the finest hogs from the Bide-a-Wee Hog! named, the board named Mr.! Charge: Farm, owned and operated by Howard McKinley and The Cap- ital Hill Hog Farm, owned and be relieved of these duties but Charge operated by John Funke, were expressed to Boise Thursday morning where they’ will be placed on exhibition at the state fair. The hogs which Mr. McKinley sent are the finest from his en- tire herd of Poland China pigs. as are also the Funke hogs. Funke selected his from 65 reg- istered Poland Chinas which he owns. The hogs were all shipped by express in individual crates and will arrive in Boise Friday even- ing, two days before the opening of the state fair at Boise. Mr. Funke and Mr. McKinley, intended to at first send a much larger number to Boise but on account of the prohibitive rates in transporting them they de- cided to exhibit six of their best, from each herd. The owners accompanied the shipment. The hogs are a very fine lot and it is expected that they will win their share of the blue rib- bons at the state fair. After the fair in Boise they will be shipped back home and then later exhibited at Nezperce and the Lewiston Livestock Show. The expense envolved in ex- hibiting these swine, will be a heavy one, and both gentlemen are to be congratulated on their progressive spirit and also for advancing the purebreed _live- stock cause. Should these gen- tlemen be fortunate enough, which we hope they are, in car- rying away the greatest percent- age of first prizes, Cottonwood will receive as much free adver- tising as will the owners them- selves. SELLS BARBER SHOP. Walter Reid, who has been engaged in the barber business in Cottonwod for the past four- teen years, the first of the week disposed of his business to W. A. Ferguson, who has been home- steading on the river. The new proprietor will take possession of the shop the first of the month. Mr. Reid disposed of his hold- ings here on account of the health of his wife, and expects to move to a lower country as soon as he disposes of his home, which he has now placed on the market. Mr. Ferguson, is not a strang- er in this section, having resid- ed on the river for some time as well as being employed at differ- ent times by Mr. Reid in his shop. He is now removing his family and household goods out from his homestead and will oc- cupy the house which he also purchased from Mr. Reid, locat- ed near the Babtist church. PRISONER ESCAPES. James Harmon, who was con- victed in Idaho county, about two years ago for grand larceny, having stolen a saddle horse from Miss Margaret Sweet of Grangeville, and was sentenced to serve from two to fourteen years in the Idaho state penit- entiary made his escape at Boise last week. Harmon was a trusty at the state penitentiary. Within a few minutes after his escape dogs and men were on his trail, but to date have been un- able to locate the missing prison- er. BUYS BACK RANCH.
