A somewhat curious case was devel-
oped in the Justice Court yesterday,
the particulars of which we gathered
from the officers The matter was
first brought to light by the filing of
n complaint by one Max Marks
against John Doe Haines for assault
and battery. 1t seems that Mr.. John
Doe Haines and Mrs. John Doe Haines
had been living in Sonora. Some two
wears ago the pdter .fdnlitias went to
Arizona and remained there until re-
Gently. Returning home, he found a
little John Doe Haines in the family,
for which he could get no satisfactory
explanation. He charged Marks with
having something to do with the sus-
picious youngster, and accordingly
administered q sound drubbing to
him. Now Marks wants satisfaction
for his ill usage and swears out the
warrant, as stated. John Doe Haines
will, in turn, doubtless demand some
explanation, or at least an apology,
from Marks, and so there will be u
family row all the way round. Be-
hold how great matter little fire
kindleth.
The Board of Directors of the Forest
Grove Association organized yester-
day and elected the following officers:
President and General Manager, RIM.
Widney; Secretary, S. Haley; Treas
urer, r. P. f. Temple. Ninety-four
of the hundred thousand dollars of
stock has already been taken and the
remaining six thausand dollars will
not probably wait long for purchaser.
The company propose to commence
operations at once. Next week a
small house will be built on the
grounds for the accommodation of
employees, and, during the Winter the
grounds will be ploughed and placed
in condition to receive the plants next
Spring. Eight pouds of the eucalyp-
tus seed will arrive by the next steam
er. This quantity will furnish some
100000 seeds as they are very small
and at low estimate 250,OOO plants
will be produced from them. The
seeds will be sprouted III boxes and
transplanted in the Spring. There Is
no doubt but the company will realize
a handsome profit in II few years from
their novel enterprise.
