The windings and twistings Of the law
came out clearly in Justice Humphreys
court yesterday afternoon during the trial
of the Renton boys who were charged
with trespass in taking down signs along
the tracks OF the Columbia and Puget
Sound railroad. When L. T. Smith, as
sistant superintendent, was looking up
the case he got afiiiiavits from Joseph
Barweli and fash Cooper telling how the
signs were taken down and who we're inn
plicated. The affidavits implicated those
who signed them, but as IL was matter
of states evidence, their names were put
In the warrant only as witnesses. When
Barwell took the stand in court he denied
ali knowledge OF the charge against Whit
ney Becman, Allie Tickner. Alder White
aud Henry Grewer. fash Cooper, the
other states witness, told all about the
case. Justice Humphrey decided that the
Law on trespass did not apply and dis
missed the case.
Immediately all the boys, including
Joseph Bsrwell. were arrested for petty
larceny. Cooper was used as q witness
and also L. +. Smith, to whom Barweli
made . voluntary statement As result
the proof Of larceny against Barwell was
strong, but weak against the other boys,
who were discharged. Barwcll was lined
SIS and costs and appealed.

Council Committee Adopts Proposal to
Add IL To Railroad AxenuA.


Add It 10 Railroad Avenue.
An important meeting was held In the
city hall yesterday which promises to re-
suit in the final settlement of the rams
horn snarl. 1t was called by a committee
of the council consisting OF Aldermen
Sweeney. earle and Stocks and Delegates
Brace. Lyon and Criehton. In attendance
were a number of property owners along
the east side of Railroad avenue. including
Amos Brown, III. III. Pease. Isaac Dobson,
+. o. Graves, representing W. c. Squire:
l. J. Cosman. Dr. +. C. kilbourne, ]. ].
Post, Capt David Gilmore, w. II. White,
for the Ycsler heirs, aud the Commercial
Mill Company. Receiver Bryant. of the
Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern; Saperin-
tendent Newman Kline and other rail-
road mon sent messages Of good will. but
on account Of the short notice were unable
to attend. Andrew +. Burleigh was in
Olympia.
The proceedings occupied a very short
time. aud She result was adoption OF the
following resolution:
The property owners between Yesler
avenue and Union street on Railroad
avenue having expressed their desire to
widen Railroad avenue thirty feet ard to
grant TO the railroad company owning the
so-caIled rams horn the right to the use
OF thirty feet on the east side on the
abandonment OF the rams horn right-of-
way between Yesler avenue aud Union
street, We recommend that in lieu OF the
present rams horn rieh-of-way between
said points = new right-ef-waY De granted
and given TO the owners Of said rams
horn, and that Railroad avenue be &C.
cordingly widened between said points. :"
Ii was agreed that 81 ordinances based
upon the resolution should be submitted
10 the council. The proposition is that
property owners on the east side of Rail-
road avenue shall grant strip there thirty
feet wide, from Washington street to
[ MON street, a. each Of which points the
Oregon Improvement Company's lines
diTerge to the east aad form the crooked
line known as the rams horn. This Will

September IL, 1892, instructed Mr.. Scott to
go TO Vernon, supervise the shipment OF
the machinery and accompany it to It's
destination, keeping account OF his ex-
penses and per diem from the time he re-
ceived notice from the Canadian Pacific
until his return to his pos. and notify Mr..
WATSON, as the amount OF the expense in

On September II Mr.. Scott received 3
telegram from ID. E. Brown. assistant gen.
erai freight and passenger agent Of the
Canadian Pacific. requesting him to come
at once to Vernon and stating that the
Canadian Pacific would pay his expenses.
The next day Mr.. Brown wrote to him
confirming his telegram, saying that
he expects, now that the road has
made arrangements with the United
States customs department.. il will
have considerable freight going in by
this route, and that perm anent arrange
ments will be made soon for an officer to
be placed at okanogan landing to accom-

lay, Mr.. Brown wrote on October 10 that
it was caused by Stanton, an employe of
Col. Hammond and at the latter's request,
and continued:
"This cannot understand, as Col.
Hammond knew that you were on expense
waiting for the car to get across the line.
consequently Mr.. Stanton will have to ex-
tend any necessary expense caused by the
delay in handling the car from Penticton.

with him for the payment Of your extra
expense on occount OF this delay which
rests between Stanton and Col. Ham.

TRYING To END THE RATE WAR.

A" II.
n. p. and Atchison Coming Together
An Answer to the ssnthern's Boycott.
CHICAGO. Feb. 2i.--General Passenger
Agent Lomax. Of the Union Pacific, held
long conference today with Passenger
and Traffic Manager White, of the Atchi-
son, aud Chairman Caldwell, upon the
attitude of the Union Pacific toward the
immigrant clearing house. Nothing defi-
mite was settled. but 1t was announced that
an adjustment was nearer than ct any
time for the past Two weeks. The Rock
Island today postponed the reconciliation
by announcing that 10 will not agree to the
Union Pacific demand that 81 % per 100
be allowed as its share of the immigrant
clearinghouse business. The Rock Island
claims this is practically allowing the
Union Pacific s. so differential, which it
refuses to allow.
The Atchison has issued reply to the
circular recently sent out by the Southern
Pacific announcing boycott on Atchison
tickets via Barstow and Los Angeles to
points on the Southern Pacific north OF
Mojave. The Atchison requests ali con-
Meeting lines 10 take no action on the
Southern Pacific's request, saying that
prior to March /, the date set for the In.
auguration of the boycott. it will give full
Information as to the manner in which It
intends to protect its California traffic.
OMAHA, Feb. 2i.-At the request of the
Southern Pacific the Union Pacific has is
sued circular cutting of round trip
tickets TO San Diego. effective February "A.
As reason for this the $40 arbitrary de-
manded by the California Southern Is
cited. 1t is thought that the real reason
is to assist in precipitation of the rate war
now thought to be inevitable.
