a Big Land Deal.


\ big land deal has been on the tapis
for some time past, and although the
matter has been kept quiet, it has OBJ
tanned sufficient publicity in the last few
days to warrant The Vidette in making
public the facts.
The agents OF an eastern syndicate are
daily expected here, with view to pur-
chasing about 1000 acres of tide lands on
Grays harbor from Messrs. III. c. Cooper,
and Glenn and Frank Peterson. The
above gentlemen have put the price OF
the land very low so that there is not
much doubt OF a sale. The purchasers
will divide the land into small tracts and
settle it with German families, who will
dyke the land and devote it to gardening
raising cianberrics, etc. This is Il move
in the right direction and means a great
deal for the future prosperity Of Chchalis
county.
In this connection it will be of interest
to know that the late railroad strike
stopped a similar deal. Two hundred
families from Pennsylvania were on the
way to purchase land from the Messrs.
Peterson They were stopped at st. Paul,
and located in Minnesota Montesano
Nidettc.

Their Verdict.

Many are the stories told of the remarka-
BILE verdicts brought in by inefficient juries.
says the Youth Companion but there could
scarcely be better illustration of what GER
tain legal man calls colossal inefficiency'
than the story he tells Of the verdict given by
jury in Western city. The case under
almost every one beleved-had fatally shot a
friend. While the two were oil with hunting
party.
The accused person was a prominent citi-
zen of the place, and was greatly beloved as
well as respected by every one who knew
him.
AS the trial proceed ed, the faces of the
Jurymen were filled with anxiety. When
they at last retired 1t became evident to
them that the prisoner could not be &C
quilted OF all the blame, according to the
evidence but they decided that if he must be
considered guilty of something. they would
make that something as light as possible.
Accordingly the foreman gFavely announced
on the return to the court room that
they found the prisoner guilty of drunk
euness."
In spite of the gravity of the case a ripple
OF amusement ran over the court room at
this Yird1ct The judge, with considerable
severity iand with great clearness. again
charged the jury, and again they retired.

nemnrornes at the Front.

! Il was expected of course that the re-
| fusal of the Washington authorities to
| permit Coxey to address his followers
/ from the steps of the capitol would be
! seized upon by demagogues to bring them
! selves into prominence. Our dispatches
/ this morning show that one congressman
wants to know whether or not Coxey and
| his marshal were handled as tenderly as
they should have been when they were
arrested in the capitol grounds, and a
state official of Kansas, known for his
radical populism, announces that the
Coxey incident is the beginning of a revolu-
ton, which, at the elections next fall, will
show itself in violence and anarchy from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. He says the
Kansas farmers are now selling their cat
tie and buying rifles, and that when the
revolution gets under full Roadway the
torch will be applied to the homes Of the
rich throughout the country.
Coxey and Browne are now appearing
in their true colors. They insist upon be-
ing tried by a jury on the charges that
have been lodged against them. Their
purpose doubtless is to gain as much no
toriety as possible and at the same time
give the cranks and demagogues a chance
TO appeal to the dissatisfied elements in
all parts of the country to support the
Coxey movement.
The demagogues will find some who
sympathize with their utterances, but the
vast majority of the American people
have too much common sense to heed
what they say. The Kansas populist
official who talks about applying
the torch is evidently so irresponsible
a crank that he ought TO be
confined in an asylum. His statement
that the Kansas farmers are preparing
for period of disorder, lawlessness and
violence cannot possibly have any founda-
ton. It is simply a reckless utterance in
tended to infame the passions of those
who think they have grievance because
they haven't been sufficiently thrifty to
accumulate any part of the world S
wealth. There are plenty Of men who
would not only welcome period of an
archy, but would help to bring it about,
because they know that in no condition of
affairs are they likely to be any worse off,
and that radical changes might give
them a chance to better their material
condition without any exertion on their
part Coxey's followers are such men.
But there isn't going to be any anarchy
or revolution. The government will not
be disturbed in the least by the speeches
of demagogues or the howlings of anarch-
ist. 1t is strong, and the people are be-
hind it. The lawless will be dealt with
just as Coxey and his marshal were. 1t
is the will of the people that the law be
obeyed, and it will be obeyed. Before
Coxey and his marshal return home they
will have much greater respect for law
than they had when they started on their
march to Washington.

railroad wreckers in trouble.

The Central Trust Company, of New
| York, has begun suit in the common
| pleas court of Ohio 10 compel a lot of al
| legged railroad wreckers to give up their
| spoils TO the bondholders whom, it is
claimed, they robbed. II the trust com
pany is successful, railroad wreckers will
not find it so easy matter to carry out
their schemes.
The parties the Central Trust Company
is after manipulated the Columbus, Hook
ing Valley and Toledo railroad and the
amount sued for is S12, 900, COO This line
at one time, was composed of three indie
pendent roads, and one Of them owned
valuable coal lands in Hooking Valley.
A few railroad wreckers bought up the
stock of the roads and the coal lands
and then bonded the entire prop
erty for s14, 500,0 900. With part of the
money they paid the purchase price of
the property. In the mortgage on which
the bonds are based it is stated that
the balance of the money received from
the bonds would be used in improving
the property. The balance was about
IS, 0O0,0 900. The money was not so used.
The wreckers who conducted the scheme
put it into their pockets, so it is alleged.
The consequence was that the railroad
was not in a condition to earn the inter
est on its bonds.
One bondholder brought suit against
the wreckers to recover the value of his
bonds. He failed to obtain Judgment on
the ground that he was not an original
bondholder The suit was brought in
New York courts, and the supreme court
of that state said pretty plainly that it
was the duty of the trustee of the
bonds to see that the terms on which the
bonds were issued were complied with,
Notwithstanding the fact that it was
stipulated that the trustee incurred no
liability If the proceeds of the bonds were
not used as required.
The Central Trust Company has acted
upon this Interpretation of the law and
has began suit against the alleged wreck
ers of the Hooking Valley property to
compel them to restore to the Hooking
Valley company the IS, 900, 900 with inter
est If it succeeds railroad wrecking will
not be so easy in the future And other
suits may be begun to force restitution
from wreckers of other railroad proper
ties. 1t is certainly time that the rail
road wrecking business was stopped.
