creek, a tributary of the Nehalem river. Thomas
Nelson, Swedish settler. returned to his home
about o'clock in the evening ard his wife re-
quested him to hold the baby. He refused, and
ordered her to get supper for him. Sharp words
were exchanged, and in a moment Mrs. Nelson
rushed for the door and ran toward the creek,
followed by her children and afterward by her
husband. On reaching the stream she threw
herself into the water and was drowned in the
presence of her husband, who apparently
was unable to help her. although the stream a.
this point is not large The body WAS recovered
at once, aud Mr.. 0'Conner, justice of the peace
at Mishawaka, called jury and held an ia.
quest. The verdict returned was TO the effect
that she committed suicide in a fit of anger

tue OF the opinion of Attorney General Jones,
filed today at Spokane, confirming the action of
the commission in ignoring the claim of the
Northern Pacific to a 200foot right-of-way on
both sides of the track to deep water. Local at
torneys of the Northern Pacific claim that the
original land grant by congress to the Northern
Pacific contemplated a right-of-way to deep
water necessary for the company's terminals.
Speaking for the Northern Pacific, Attorney
j. II. Mitchell says the company does not con-
template appropriating the water front, but
does claim 4O0-foot right-of-way, for a third of
a mile from Fifteenth street to deep water, for
actual use and for warehouses, wharves and
coal bunkera Much improvement has been
made and more is contemplated, but, as Willard
said when here, the company will not rest until
its title to this property is clear. The case will
no doubt go to the United States supreme court.
