FORCANAL CONDEMNATION.
Real Estate Men and Property Own-
ers Ask to Have the Case
Set for Early TRIAL

A number of real estate men and prop
erty owners. having property along the
route OF the North canal. appeared be-
fore the board Of county commissioners
and Prosecuting Attorney HASTE yester-
day to see what could be done IN hav-
Ing the condemnation case set before the
present term OF court expired. Judge
Greene was spokesman for the party. He
stated that II was desired to have the
cases set and disposed OF before the new
year. as II was expected that property
would raise In value after that time and
possibly put = block in the settling Of the
cases. This was the reason given for
desiring to hasten along the cases, but
the real reason Is believed to be an en-
deAvor to have the cases passed upon by
the present judges.
Prosecuting Attorney HASTE explained
the causes OF the delay TO the delexa-
fion. In the drst place there are S00
DEFENDANTS living in various parts Of the
country every one of whom had TO be
served with summons. which took con-
siderable time. These summons all had
to be published Then case was Drought
against the county commissioners 10 re-
strain them from levying and collecting
the half-mili tax for the canal This case
was appealed TO the supreme court. mtre
time being consumed After this more
time was taken up ia looking up the ap-
preparation In which 1t was found that
the selecting of the route was optional
with the secretary OF war This caused
another delay. Besides this, witnesses
had 10 so over the route and figure the
value or the property; carpenters were
engaged on figuring the value of build
ings. and experts hired 10 figure the dam
ages that would be caused by the over
flow. When Nhss was brought about the
earliest date on which the case could be
set was November Is Mr. HASTE further
explained that the criminal cases Of the
state against Craemer. Murphy. Nord-
strom and krug had been set for October
u and IL. but Were pat over until Noven-
Der %. so he would have no time until
December IA in which TO try the cases.
The delegation talked the matter over
and finally decided TO confer with the
judges In regard 10 fixing the time for
trial.

Nsl1 OF this number s,1U votes were
cast in the city and 5sS21 IN the country.
II must be remembered. however. that
the year 1889 was during the period when
the city OF Seattle was being most ac-
lively rebuilt. and that large number Of
mechanics and laborers came here. who.
after the work was finished and the city
had arisen from the ashes OF the great
confagratson of June 3. 1859. sought en-
pioyment elsewhere. Most OF these me-
chanics and iaborers remained here for
about three years. and while they were
here they swelIed the vote. The total vote
at the city election he'd In 1882 was s,s64.
That there was q great decrease In the
vote between 1899 and 1894 Is shown By the
fact that the total vote AZ the state and
county election held in 1894 was only "a

67s is 2.5a5 larger than 1t was IA 1894, which
indicates that King county has made
substantial increase in her population
since that year.

Coroner Askam decided yesterday after

inquest over the remains CT Clement

look dose of morpnsns last Sunday
morning.
According 10 the report that was given
he coroner. cast%ns Bros. had recently
orsclosed = mortkag~ on his dairy.
sAretcns Broa- say that this was not true.

son WAS continually drinking he was told
that he muss do better or the money due
would be required. He promised to re-
form and was gwen more money.
The Johnson case II one tha, has been
In the courts under numerous conditions
IL viii be recalled that on one occasion
Johnson went to tina prosecuting aftor-
ney's once and complained that he had
rActicaliy been forced out Of his home
mar named Greesnn. TO whom he
ad given . bill OF sale. He claimed that
sregson had promised 10 make him man
xcr OF the dairy. but failed TO keep HIS
keepers into his house. One Of these was
con~rmptive. he said. and was IN the habit
OF splitting all over the foor.
Mr. oregson WA greatly put out about
Johneon's story. and appeared at the
Post-Inteil.xencer Office day or so after
ward. lie showed about Ss.oop in gold and
several thousand dollars IN drafts and Sc
curlt1es- He said that he had not prom
.ssd to make Johnson manager OF the
dairy, and that he had not taken add
vantage OF him In any way. shape or
manner. lie was wsli-fo-do. and did not
need TO beat anybody 10 make living
Fred II. Peterson was Johnson's attar-
ney. He said yesterday: johnson took
this trouble much 20 heart and hrooded
over &. He tod me IL the case was De-
c.ded against him he thought OF killing
himself. ! paid no particular attention
to this remark. for when Johnscn's house
and property were in the possession OF
Gregson's men ] advised him 20 defend
his own house. II need he. with arms: but
Johnson refused 10 dc Sc. as he sad srhey
might shoot me down Ike dog and my
children would he left aione. Ia view 81
this statement and fear OF danger 10 his
life, II seems strange that he had then. as
l am informed. the poison IN his possess
sion which he used later on with fatal ef-
feet. Johnson was rational and able to
do nueiness. yet II was apparent that
worry and liquor had unbalanced his
MAD. He was OF a generous disposition
hu, too eonfiing In others. Those who
knew him N his better days always spoke
hlgh.y of him"
