IMPORTANT RAILWAY CASES.
Union Paciflc's Hard Fight Against the
Short Line and O. r. &N.

Union Pacific's Hard Fight Against the
Short Line and Q. r. & NJ.
Two very important railroad
cases are before the United States
courts and have been undergoing
argument for more than week.
In one case the O. r. & N. is en-
deavoring to have the order of the
court entertained when seprate
receiver was appointed, modified.
BY this order the road is compelled
to pay obligations of the Union
Pacific to large amount. In the
other tho object sought is to secure
a seprate receiver for the Oregon
Short Line, so that the road may
be operated in the interest of its
stockholders and such bondholders
as have not great interest in the
Union Pacific, AS n matter of fact
these roods, as well as other leased
lines of the Union Pacific system.
have operated solely in the inter-
est Of the main line. They have
been sucked dry like an orange.
That the Union Pacific will not
give up this juicy sucking is shown
by the hard fight it is making,
with no less legal light here to
represent it than Senator John M.
Thurston. Other attorneys in the
cases are Gen. ]. G. CROWN,
representing the government, Sen
ator J. N. Dolph, Mr.. Story of Bos.
ton, G. L. S. Wood, Zera Snow and
aother Portland lawyers. The point
at issue is whether they shall con-
tinue to be managed for the sole
benefit of the Union Pacific or of
their own stockholders and bond
holders Independent manage
ment of these lines means the more
rapid development of the region
through which they run. The do
cision will be rendered early this
week.

A COMMUNITY WIPED OUT.
White Gold Seekers in Australia Slay
Many of the Natives.

White Gold Seekers in Australia Slay
Many of the Natives.
BY mail, via steamer Mirrows,
comes an astonishing story from
the distant gold fields of Western
Australia. Fabulous finds have
lately been reported from Ninety
Mile Point, nuggets in which is
between 80 and 150 ounces of pure
gold being picked up on the surface
of the ground. These stories made
men mad and psospectors pushed
on for hundreds of miles in the
wilderness, far beyond where white
men had ever before been. They
had scarcely enough food and water
to keep them alive, They were
brought back raging with fever and
placed in Coolgardie Hospital, all
ready overcrowded with dying min
ners. The fate of these desperate
men did not deter eight new arriv-
ais from forming a syndicate, and
with heavy packs Of provisions,
water and rifles they started for
Ninity-Mile Point, the extreme
limit of Coolgardie, to prospect in
the interior. They started Dec. 1,
of last year and nothing had been
heard Of them since. 1t was sup
posed they had met death. Dan
Robertson, one Of the syndicate, re-
turned from his camp 120m miles from
Coolgardie on Jan. 20, and cofessed
to the police that after discovering
mountain Of gold the party, re-
turned to camp, found that band
of blacks had stolen all their pro-
visions. The syndicate pursued
the blacks to their village and
butchered the entire community,
shooting the men and Draining the
women and children. The other
murderers have been arrested The
solid hill Of quartz which the syn
dicate found is 70 feet high, $50
wide at the base and Is at the sum
nit, full of gold.

is charged by Edwin Simpson.
The defendant lives a mile south
Of Weston with his father and sic.
ters. Their mother is dead and
IL year old girl attends to the
duties of housekeeping. From the
story as told it appears that Willie,
in company with the little daugh-
ter of the private prosecutor, was
playing, and either in fun or mis-
chief, the children SET fire to a lit
tie loose straw, the girl herself pro-
viding the matches. The fire
spread, igniting and burning three
stacks of hay belonging to Mr..
Simpson, which loss he hopes to
repair by sending the young boy to
the penitentiary.

TEST OF ANTI-ToxlNE.
New Diphtheria Remedy Successfully
Tested in Boise City.

New Diphtheria Remedy Successfully
Tested in Boise City.
Anti-toxine, the new diphtheria
remedy, has been tested with sue
cessful results in this city, Gays the
Boise Statesman. Some days ago
the little girl of G. A. Powell was
taken seriously ill. DR.. Collister,
who was summoned to treat the
child, found that it was case OF
diphtheria in its most virulent form
and at once decided to try the new
treatment. The result was that in
less that IL hours after the iniec-
tion had been given the fever had
completely disappeared and the
patient recovered in a remarkably
short time.
The doctor naturally feels high
ly gratifed at the result and thinks
there can be no question as to the
reliability Of the remedy.
The anti-toxine used was from a
s9mple received directly from Ger.
many by Sig. Falk some time ago.
Whitehead's drug store has since
received a sample from st. Louis,
the nearest point where it can be
obtained at present.
CosT OF ANTI-ToXINE.
Says the Pendleton Tribune:
DR.. G. J. Smith, in speaking last
evening Of the diphtheria scare
that has disturbed the peace Of
Athena and the surrounding coun-
try, stated that Pendleton physici-
ans yesterday telegraphed foranti-
toxine, but as it is manufact-
ured only in New York, and de-
mand has since its first production
kept equal pace with the supply, it
is not at all probable that it can be
procured. If received here, the ex-
pense involved would set the price
of the anti-toxine treatment for a
single patient at $40. The process
of obtqining anti-toxine requires
from three to twelve months.

A coIored Mans Horrible Death.


A colored man named Reuben
was burned to death Tuesday mon
ing, at ranch few miles from

alone in small cabin. About 4
o'clock he awoke and found his
cabin and bed on fire. While try
ing to unfasten the door his cloth
ing was burned from his body. lie
was found soon after daylight lying
on blanket near the site of his
cabin. After being burned he had
gone to stream near by and had
thrown water on his body, his path
being marked by pieces of burned
flesh. He lived six hours.

earlier than she was expected, she has
been an exceptionally hard baby to
raise. She was not strong enough to
nurse at the breast and for one week
was fed from a spoon, upon. sterilized
milk. My husband. DR.. s. A. Clark, Is a
graduate from Harvard Medical school.
At the end of the first week we put little
Millicent upon the bottle, and as ster-
ilized milk In various strengths did not
agree wItl her. we tried - milk
until she was one month old. Then she
refused to take any more Of this food
and her weight had not increased at all,
SO We changed food again. We tried
cows milk, condensed milk. and four or
five food preparations, but nothing
agreed with her as ,lactated food, and
We went back to that after each now
trial. AT two months old she had
doubled her weight upon lactated food.
Being an eight months baby shehas al
ways been very delicate, and she Is still
feeding upon your food and thrives upon
