The coquIilc Herald says; Judge
Delos Woodruff. who resides at Euchre
creek. below Port orford. was In Co
auille City on last Wednesday, looking up
testimony In suit by Captain woodsIde
against the Canton Insurance Company.
OF San Francisco. for s2.otO Insurance. on
'hls household goods. which he claims
were lest when the steamer Bawnmore.
OF which he was master, was wrecked
below nRndon last August. II seems
the captain had his household goods IN
snred In the above company. and the
company refused to pay. on the ground
that there was no proof OF loss OF goods, !
and, further. that there was evidence
that the goods we're saved and sold.
Judge Woodruff was the auotioneer who
sold the property that was saved from
tho nawnmorc, and remembered selling
several hundred dollars worth OF the
captains household goods. SO the COM
many have employed him to trace the
matter up and ascertain the amount OF
goods sold and the various articles, The
Judge has already found over $50 worth
OF the koods that were sold at the wreck.
Captain woodside and wife swore In the
complaint that the goods were total
loss by tho wreck. These are the people
who vilinh and abused the residents in
the B,ighborhood OF the wreck. accusing
them OF stealing property, refusing as
slstanee. etc. II vill be remembered that
the San Francisco papers had articles In
reference 10 this matter In which these
honest, klnd-hearted citizens OF Curry
county were represented as band 81
hrlgands and robbers, and some OF our
county papers " re at the time Inclined
TO assist In the circulation OF these In
famous ISLANDERS IL appears now that
their traducers, Captain Woodside and
his wife. will be shown up In their true
light by this insurance transaction. IL
