MRS. ABBOTT Is A WONDER.
The Mystery From Georgia Exhibits
Her Power.

Mrs. Abbott, the little Georgia wonder, gave
an exhibition of her peculiar power at the opera
house last evening. Several tests were tried
by which she demonstrated her force. Twelve
Seattle citizens We're called upon the stage as a
committee to aid in the investigation of the lit
tie womans mysterious power. Some OF them
were heayy-weights and some were only me-
dunn, but in one instance ten of them were
piled up like cordwood on two heavy chairs, and
the chairs with their immense weight of nearly
ton were lifted by Mrs. Abbott with apparent
ease. In another test seven strong men en-
deavored to hold down a stick, but she lifted the
stick and men clinging to it and carried them
half way across the stage. Then a small boy
was brought into requisition, and she placed the
boys hands on hers and the heavy weights
of the committee attempted to lift the
boy from the floor. but his feet seemed glued
thae, and after several Intellectual efforts they
gave IL up. During this test Mrs. Abbotts
hands were in a constant tremor, but no other
indications of effort were visible. That she is
possessed of some strange power cannot be
doubted, but whether Ii Is animal magnetism,
strength or some mysterious unknown force, no
one seems able to say.
The committee who occupied seats on the
stage, assisting Mrs. Abbott and measuring their
strength with mysterious force, was composed
OF the following persons: DR.. c. S. Merrill,
George T. Langbell, F. Christner, George White,
f. Levy, A. Bash, ID. A. Mckenzie, T. H. Demp-
sey, Nelson Clouett, John Nichols, w. Van
Walters and l.. Schonfeld.

RIGHTS OF SETTLERS.
Judge Hanford Rules that They May
Cut Timber.

The case of the United States against Frank
b. Davis was on trial yesterday and took up the
entire day in the federal court. The suit is for
the repleyin of $3.50 for which lot of sawlogs
were sold, aud is brought for the purpose of
have any right to this money, which is in the
possession of the court, and TO the tract of pre-
emption land off which the timber was cut
Johnson pre-empted the claim and sold to
Davis, who is in the logging business, the tim
Der on the claim. The timber was seized as gov
eminent timber, and this suit was brought to
determine the rights of the parties.
Judge Hanford IN charging the jury said:
This is an action OF repeyin to recover $50 for
conceded that the logs were cut on land owned
by the government, and in this particular the
case OF the government Is sufficiently made out
TO entitle IL to verdict, unless the defendant
shows special right to the property and the
timber on IL. 1t is admitted that the timber was
cut on this government claim, but where
settler on public lands of the United States I'M
under the law TO cut and remove timber for that
purpose, and also right to sell the timber cut
on the land. The government invites people to
go onto the public lands and make their homes
there, and in cases where they go as bona iide
settlers the government gives them the land free
OF charge.
This whole case resolves itself into one ques-
ton, that is, whether Mr.. Johnson had made
that land his homestead in good faith for the
purpose OF improving IL and settling there, or
whether he entered the land on the protext of
pre-empting it, but really for the purpose of
stripping Ii of the timber, which he sold to
Davis, who is in the logging business, and then
abandoning the land"
The jury retired about 5 o'clock, and will
doubtless return a verdict this morning.
