O! such a ball game as it was Sunday and the 1000 baseball | fans present were surely dissap- pointed at the outcome of the game, at least from a scoring standpoint, for them we feel sorry as for ourselves it gives us a headache to thing about it let alone writing about it and plac- ing it in print for future baseball | history. For Cottonwood after the first jinning it was one continual | round of errors, for Grangeville ;it was a perfect game of base- ) ball from start to finish. | | Cottonwood has no excuses to }offer and attributes the two dozen scores to the fact that the |entire nine men comprising the {local team went up in an aero- | plane in the second inning and | did not come down and as far as we know are still in the air. Sunday’s contest was witness- ed by one of the largest crowds that has ever gathered ona diamond in Cottonwood It is estimated that fully 1000 people witnessed the game, coming from practically every part of the county. Over 175 cars were counted on the ball grounds in the 6th inning after one of the local baseball fans lost interest in the game and wanted to know how many cars were present. Cottonwood Wins. | The outcome of the game Sun- day made it a tie between Cot- tonwood and Grangeville in the Idaho County Nationa League, each having won 4 games and lost 2. The deciding game will be played Sunday and to deter- mine the place where the game, was to be played, Grangeville or | Cottonwood, a silver dollar was flipped, Cottonwood calling for heads and winning with heads |up. ‘Heads Up” that our motto | for Sunday and with it hope to win the deciding game. Winona Wins Again. Winona defeated Stites on the Winona grounds, Sunday, before a record breaking crowd and in one of the most exciting games of the season in the Idaho Coun- ty American League. The final score was 5 to 6. Winona closed the season with having lost no game. Greencreek Wins Two. | The Greencreek boys had on | their winning “rags” Sunday, | having defeated Fenn by a score of 5 to 10 and the second Green- creek team won from Keuterville at Keuterville, by a score of 7 to i.

After fifteen hours of deliber- ation, the jury in the case of the Economy Hog Powder Co. vs. the Cottonwood Elevator & Milling Co., Saturday at Grangeville re- ported itself unable to agree. The case involves payment for 40,000 pounds of hog powder al- leged by the defendant to have been bought conditionally from the powder firm by John Meyers manager for the elevator com- pany. Mr. Meyer gave the order June 26, 1920, and in payment gave a check for $500 post-dated to July 15, 1920, as well as a note| for $5,000, the deal being made subject to the approval of the The hog powder was shipped and the post-dated check pre- sented and honored immediately. In the meantime, the elevator directors failed to ratify the pur- chase and refused the shipment when it arrived.

B. Luchtefeld, of Keuter- ville, has filed suit in district court, seeking to restrain Idaho ;county and W. F. Abercrombie, foreman of the Grave creek road, from constructing the highway through land belonging to Luch- |tefeld. In his complaint, Luch- |tefeld, through his attorneys, |Fogg & Campbell, alleges the highway construction crew un- lawfully entered his premises on June 10 and proceeded to build a road. Heclaims the land is within the Keuterville Highway district, and the county has no jurisdiction therein in highway matters. Hearing on an order to show cause why an injunction | Should not be granted was held before Judge Scales yesterday ) and he ruled that the land in con- troversy over which the road is: being built, was a public high- way owing to the fact that it has been used as such for many years and gave the defendants authority to proceed with the road work. Some 25 business men from | Cottonwood were present at the! hearing in Grangeville yesterday aT eLetter Ale | ON WAY TO CALIFORNIA. F. D. Pretice, Arhtur Reinhert and Raymond Lepinski, three young men traveling from St. Cloud, Minn., to San Francisco in an automobile spent Sunday and Monday in Cottonwood and Tues- day morning resumed their journey to sunny California, They stopped here to visit with Mr. and Mrs. B.

Grangeville Friday application) was made to District Judge Wal-| lace N. Scales by Attorney Fred! E. Butler of Lewiston for the ap- pointment of a receiver for the} Cottonwood Milling & Elevator! company of Cottonwood Judge Scales heard the applic- ation and issued the order for the receivership, naming B, A. Baerlocher of Cottonwood to serve, and the entire plant and property is now under his juris- diction to be operated under the direction of the court. The receivership came about through foreclosure of a trust deed for $100,000 given to secure a bond issue by the company of $100,000 and is in favor of the Idal:o Ti ust ¢ mpany cf Lewis- ton. The production of flour and other materials will cease with the receivership for the time be- ing at least, in fact, the mill has not been operated in these de- Mr. Baerlocher will continue to buy, sell and conduct such other bus- | iness in connection with the! plant as the occasion demands. The complaint in the case re-| cites that prior to February 14, | 1921, the defendant company by | a vote of a majority of its stock- holders authorized, executed, sold and delivered bonds in the, sum of $100,000, bearing date of | February 14, 1921, bearing 8 per'| cent. These bonds matured serially at the rate of $10,000 an- | nually, beginning with January 1, 1923, with interest payable | July 1, of each year from the The bonds; were in denominations of $1,000 each.

The mill and elevator of the company is among the most | | modern in the northwest. Many expensive improvements were made in the property four or five years ago, at which-time the concern was transacting a large business. The capacity of the plant is placed at slightly more barrels a day. Grangeville. Mr Markham takes office immediately.

A very conservative estimate made places the wool clip of the upper and lower Snake river camps at slightly more than 500,000 pounds this season. Thia means that the prices paid for the product, ranging from 27 to 33 cents a pound, brings into the Lewiston country approximately — from this one source alone. Attorney Miles S. Johnson on Saturday filed with the deputy clerk of the supreme court a transcript on appeal in the Geo. H. Waterman case, whoch asks the state’s highest tribunal to grant to Waterman a reversal of the verdict handed down last month by a jury in the district court at Nezperce, and to grant the defendant a new trial. With the largest vote ever cast in the Kamiah road district, the $50,000 bond election for the Kamiah hill highway was carried Monday by the overwhelming vote of 298 for and 79 against. Out of the 890 voters in the district 857 votes were cast. This will mean the construction of a standard highway road over the , famous Kamiah hill to Nezperce.
