SUPREME CoURT CAsEs.-The case OF ]
" Gaines ct al, appellants, VS.. Linn
county ct al, respondents, and the case
OF w Gaines and Louis Stringer, appel
lants, VS. Linn county, respondent, were
both decided in the supreme court last
Monday, These cases are OF special in
terest TO the citizens of Santiam aud Scio
precincts, as sixty-four Of the appellants
are residents there. The cases were
taken from the county court OF Linn
county to the circuit court by writ OF re.
view, Mr. G w Wright, Of this city, being
attorney for the appellants. The circuit
court deciding adversely, they, by advice
OF Mr. Wright, appealed to the supreme
court. After many days OF hard work in
gathering and briefing the law applica-
BILE, Mr. Wright was naturally much
pleased at winning both cases in the
supreme court, and in reversing the deci-
sion OF Judge Boise, OF the circuit court,
and as well knocking out, igura,ively
speaking, the legal talent who were at
torneys for Linn county.-Herald.
ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.-Most OF the
shooting accidents come from Lane
county. 1t is the banner county in this
respect. The Guard gives another very
serious one: A young man, aged Is
years, whose name we could not learn,
in the employ Of Enos Cleek, who lives
two miles north Of Irving, while uncock-
ing his gun in the gentleman's house, let
the lock slip out Of his finger, which dis
charged the gun, the charge OF duck shot
entering the right leg OF the wife OF Mr.
Cleek's, Just below the knee, shattering
the bone in frightful manner. DrLW
Brown was sent for and he Immediately
amputated the limb about two inches
below the knee joint. On account OF the
loss OF blood, before the arrival OF the
doctor, and the shock occasioned, the
lady is in a pTecarious condition, but
hopes are entertained of her recovery.
EorALIzNG THISGs.-The State Board |
Of Equalization propose to do justice TO all |
parts Of Oregon. They have placed horses |
at $50 west Of the mountains and about |
half east of the mountains Linz county
horses will be raised from S5o.94. Cattle !
will be SI3.so end Linn's will have TO |
come up from SIo9o. sheep will be s. 60 |
and hers Linn vii! drop from $I67. |
Mortgages will be eqIalized; but how,
there's the question In the matter of |
mortgages they have a hig job on their |
hands. Oregon should at least have /
equality in all things.
Crock COUNTY This week VIM NJ /
sold his building and sad
dlery business 10 M a Moore. Mr. Shela-
bsrger has beel in business in Prineville |
for eight years.
Charlie Bowlsby, Of Beaver, desires to |
announce that he will fight the winner of |
the Ross-Woods contest for gate receipts (
and funeral expenses.
On Monday John Elliott brc dght in
II6oH grains of gold taken from the Ell
lioti mine on Upper Ochoco. II was the
result of a clean up of their arastra, which
Mr. Elliott thinks saves about one
twentieth ofthe gold contained in the
rcck they are woTking.-lieview.
THE PROPER WAY.-There is some
snap to at least one Salem Justice. Last
Friday we mentioned the arrest of two
Students In that city charged with stealing
| book. Here was the result from the
Journal: "Ihc two boys, Archie CleaVer
Ind Mr. Meisner who we're falsely accused |
If purloining book, were both discharged |
Ind exonerated, while the young man !
who brought the prosecution was fined /
SI7. so for his misdemeanor besides being |
strongly reprima nded." The example Is |
one that should be followed generally In
cases unnecessarily instituted, particularly |
hose based on spite.
A PECULIAR SUIT.-According TO the |
Guard peculiar suit has been begun in |
Eugene: 'Joseph Theimer has Sued his !
wife, Anna Theimer, for the SUN of
$1,000. Theimer claims that he Is simple |
minded and that his wife threatened him
with imprisonment and thereby compelled
him to sign a deed to the residence prop
erty on Seventh street. The suit Is
brought by Geisler,a Portland lawyer.
The truth of the mater Is that Theimer
spends his pension tor "red liquor" and
has been supported by his wife and child
rem for years. He is too lazy to work.
He could not procure an attorney In Eu-
gene where he T. known"
