District Court.
TUESDAYS SESSION.


The regular May term of the district
court convened promptly at O'Clock
this morning, Judge Nicholson presid-
ing. The officers and attorneys ap-
peared fresh, vigorous and ready for
business. The first thing in order was
calling of the docket and the announce
ment by counsel whether cases were
for trial to jury or court. After the
calling of the. docket was completed the
petit jury was examined and quite a
number were excused from further at.
tendance upon the court. Twenty
eight were drawn and only twenty one
remain for work. 1t is probable that
additional jurors will have to be drawn
by the judge. The criminal docket was
then taken up, and the first case for
trial was the State VS.. Paul Guyer, of
HeriDgtOn, charge, malicious killing of
mule. The evidence is being sub
mitted as We go to press.
Pat Rudkins, the Santa Fe section
boss, who was engaged i'll the stabbing
affray with Theo. Her, some weeks ago
at Manchester, was brought before the
court today. He pleaded guilty to as
sault and battery and was fined $40 and
costs. The fact that Her has nearly
recovered and there was no malice in
tended made the case one worthy of
leniency.
WEDNESDAY, SESSION.
The jury in the Guyer case returned
a verdict of not guilty this morning.
The much-discussed understanding is
thus disposed of for the present. Who
ever filled the animals with lead no
one has been proved guilty.
The remainder of the day has been
occupied with the case of State VS.. H.
NJ. Cooley, the Banner City young man
who drew a revolver on his sisters
beau. The case has a good deal of
lOvesickness about it and Judging from
the well-filled court room is quite at
tractive. 1t is still on trial.

THE BARGAIN CLOSED
Full Confirmation of the Rail-
road Agreement.
HILL MAY FINISH THE ROAD
Union Pacific and Great Northern as
Partners-suspension Only Tenn
porary-Bridge Contract Let.

II is now an established fact that the
agreement between the Great Northern
and Union Pacil.c railroads in regard to
the Portland branch. has been made
and is in such shape that both COM
panies are bound by it so closely that it
cannot be broken. 1t was made before the
retirement of Dir. Adams from the presi-
dency Of the Union PaciAc. II provides
that the Union Pacific is to build a road
from Portland to Centralia and that the
Great Northern is to build from Seattle to
connect with it at Centralia Each COM
pany agrees to give the other trackage
over its half of the line in perpetuity This
arrangement viii practically give Seattle
the benelt of three competing lines to
Portland, although only one road will be
built in addition to the one already exist
ing-the Northern Pacinc
If the meaning of the suspension of work
on the Union Pacil4c is that that road can
not or will not carry out its side of the bar
gain, the Great Northern will take over the
uncompleted work and build the whole
road. 1t will, however, give the Union
Pacific trackage over the line, the same as
if the original contract had been carried
out. About 81 10000 has been expended
so far. In pursuance of the order of sus-
pension, Resident Engineer Chalk yester-
day discharged all his employees and is pre-
pairing statement of the amount of work
DONE
The following dispatch from Boston
gives official COM rrnation to the opinion
already expressed that the suspension of
work by the Union Pecific is only tenn
porary, but does not IN any way discredit
me statements as TO the agreement with
unimpeachable authority The statement
that the suspension is q result of the con-
ference of railroad presidents seems to
imply that the proposed combination will
have something to say as to the building
OF roads through Western Washington.
The dispatch reads:
Boston, Dec. 17.-With regard to the Portland,
Or, dispatch, stating that work on the road now
being constructed from Portland to Seattle is
suspended, Vice President Lane, OF the Union
Pacific, SAYS the suspension Is temporary, and
was made In order 10 make some further inves.

the meeting at Banker Morgan's on Monday

there was a chance that the huge stone
had been borne from what Is now the state

the contrary" said Mr.. Tewksbury, Il

one Of our products. Accoraingly we are

ner of the original landing at Plvmoth on
the 18th Of December, go years ago. For
several days before exploring parties had
been sent out from the May1ower TO Ind
out a good place TO land. He described
the bitter weather and the hardships en-
dured by the pilgrims, and gave graphic
picture Of their sufferings.
The next speaker was the Rev. r. J..
Mooney. now Of Snohomish, but formerly
of Ellensburg He declared that the
Congregational denomination had a
grand mission before it. He related
several anecdotes concerning the organi-
cation of missions by the church. THE
true Congregational spirit, he said, sis TO
bring the spirit of Christ and spread it

Mr. Henry L. Sizer, formerly of Fonda.

Dutch stock, yet he dropped very natur-

he came here. He believed that as the
Dutch had welcomed the Pilgrim Fathers
in Holland so many years ago, SO he, a de-
scendant of the Dutch, was in turn well
coined by the descendants of the Puritans.
Rev. Thomas Sims, Of Tacoma, warned
against the tendency to depart from the
principles of the Puritan fathers He
urged that there may be more plain preach

SEATTLE IN A BACK SEAT.
The New Lake Shore Time Card Guilt.
Yates the City's oIodesty.

The Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern rail-
road has just issued tirnecard showing
the new through train service, which seems
to indicate that the Lake Shore road has
become mere atom of the Northern Paci-
nc system, and that Seattle has sunk to the
position of way station on that system.
On the brst page of this timecard appears
the following announcement:
s. Two daily trains between Tacoma and
Anacortes, via Seattle and Sedro, thus
avoiding transfer changes and vexatious
delays at Seattle"
The words Tacoma and Anacortes" are
printed in heavy black type, while the
words via Seattle and Sedro - are invisi-
bic at a casual glance, and are little larger
than the reference to vexatious DELAYS at
Seattle" The whole production is a great
credit to the recently absorbed road.
In other respects the timecard is a handy
thing for reference by travellers.

MADE "HIs MARX" FOR MACoMBER
Ex-Employe of City Engineer Stixrud
Arrested For Forgery.


William Wighan, formerly in the en-
ploy of ex-City Engineer Stixrud, is in
trouble. Yesterday afternoon L. G.. Ma
comber, who also worked for Stixrud,
swore out complaint against Wigham,
charging him with forgery. The complaint
alleges that on November Ii Wigham pass
ed check for $50 at the Washington Saw
ings bank, which purported to be drawn by
N. Stixrud, city eng'n'r," in favor of E.
g. Macomber or order, and bore the fraud
ulent Endorsement, :" E. G. Macomber. his
mark, and was further Endorsed by Wig
ham. 1t is also alleged that Wigham was
assisted in his work by John Doe, whose
real name is unknown. 4 peculiar fact in
the case is that Macomber himself signed
his name to the complaint in plain, bust
ness-like hand, while on the check he was
represented az making his mark
1t seems that the passing of the check
was not discovered until day before yester-
day, although it was done a month ago
In posting Mr.. Stixrud's books the forgery
was discovered and an investigation insti-
tuttd
The bank cashier Says that Wigham
came to the bank with an unknown man
whom he introduced as Macomber. The
man playing the role as Macomber made
bis mark, the name being written by the
paying teller, and Wigham, as a further
guarantee, Endorsed the check himself.
About 2 O'Clock last night Wigham was
arrested by Constable Robinson at the Of
fee of the Chicago Watch Company, in the
Occidental building, for which firm he has
been working recently. He was taken be-
fore Justice Won Tobel and his bail nxed
at $1,000, in default of which he was lodged
in the county Jail. Wigham's accomplice
could not be found. The case will come
