Funeral Services for A. A. Herard
 
Funeral services for A. A. Herard, who was killed in a gun quarrel in Beowawe, 
Nevada, Friday, July 22, were held from the Catholic church in Payette last 
Thursday morning at 9:30.  Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.  Mr. 
Herard and Harry Ivester had been on unfriendly terms only the last few weeks, 
as they were partners in business for a number of years.  A quarrel resulted, 
and Mr. Herard told Ivester to go out and they would fight it out.  Ivester 
said, if you come outside I will kill you, but Herard went out anyway, and 
upon reaching the porch was fired at 3 times.  Two shots hit him, one in each 
thigh.  F. E. Phillips, a barber, and witness to the shooting went out and 
told Ivester to stop, whereupon he fire 3 shots at him, but none struck him.  
Herard fell to the ground, and was picked up by Phillips and taken to the 
hospital, in Elko, where he passed away early Saturday morning.  Mr. Herard 
had been to Fruitland two different times, once last October when he an!
 d Mrs. Herard, formerly Miss Martha Stephens were married and again in 
December, when George Stephens passed away.  He won many friends here, whom he 
met in his short visits.  He and his wife planned to come here this fall and 
make their home.  Mrs. Herard has lived here a number of years, and attended 
school here.  She graduated from Fruitland High School with the class of 
1916.  Mr. Herard's father, A. A. Herard of Calgary, Canada, and a brother 
Thomas Herard of Penalope, Washington, were present at the funeral .  The 
sympathy of the entire community is extended to Mrs. Herard, Mrs. Lettie 
Stephens, and Ray Stephens.
