CASE DISMISSED.

In the police court yesterday after
noon the suit for damages OF Susman
vs. Wage. was Dismissed. the costs be-
ing taxed against the plaintiff.
There Is a little history connected
with this case which Is Of more than
passing interest TO the Clatsop county
farmer a few weeks ago Peter Wage
drove in three head OF cattle from the
Nehalem and offered them for sale
Susman agreed to pay $50 for the bunch
but another man offered Mr.. Wage t55
and the cattle we're sold to him at that
price Susman then brought suit
against Wage for $3.50 damages, claim
ing that he had bought the cattle and
was entitled 10 the profits on them
Susman accompanied Constable Wick
man when he went TO serve the papers
upon Wage, Wage was found In Oh
sens drug store. and susman became
enraged. and struck Wage. knocking
him down. Susman was put out of the
gtore and afterwards arrested at the
Instance Of Wage and In the justice
court was fined $50. which he paid sus-
man then had Wage arrested, the case
was dismissed and the costs taxed TO
the plaintiff The damage suit was set
for trial in the justice court for Decem-
Der 3, and was continued until December
90 when a change OF venue was taken
TO the police court. After the hearing
Of the case yesterday Judge Nelson dis
missed the case for want Of sufficient
evidence. taxing the costs against the
plaintiff, Susman.
From this ruling II would appear that
farmer can bring his stock TO mar
ket and be protected in accepting the
highest offer for his property.

THE GREENWOOD ESTATE
Property of the Pioneer Valued
at One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars.
Nearly All of 1t Bequeathed to the
Three Sons and Daughter
of Deceased.

Monroe Greenwood's will was yesterday
filed for probate. He left an estate of over
$f00, 900, most of which was bequeathed to
his three sons and his daughter.
The document was written entirely by
the pioneer merchant, and recites that the
man who has been blessed by an abund-
ance of earthly wealth owes it to the bal
ance of humanity to disburse portion in
charity. He therefore establishes trust
fund of $4,000 OF which his four children
are named as trustees, and provides that
it be invested in telephone stock and the
proceeds distributed among the charities
of the Presbyterian church until the
bonds become due. Then the principal is
to be disposed of as the trustees see fit.
1t is set forth that all the property the tes-
tator possessed was community property.
and therefore no provision is made for
Mrs. Greenwood, except that the furniture
is given to her.
One thousand dollars each is willed to
each of testator's grandchildren, and an
identical sum to his niece, May Green
wood. To Ada Sherling $500 is left.
The balance of the estate is bequeathed
share and share alike TO Frank NJ, Jennie
B., George ID. and Fred A. Green wood.
The three sons are named as executors
without bonds.

Lund Begins Anothe er Suit.

John Simpson, the Danish Consul, is having
no end OF trouble with E. T. j. Lund over q
matter OF $3.50. The latter yesterday filed in
the United States District Court suit for the
amount named against the Consul, the action
being based on an old claim which Lund holds
against his sisters estate. 1t appears that
some thirty years ago Miss Lund died in
sweden, leaving an estate valued at $40, 900
and also an unpaid board bill to her brother
for l44O kroners, or $3.50. This claim was
some time ago pla aced in the hands OF Mr..
eond 1o nofb,n ,of q Dn. saa he
claim had been outlawed. Lund, however,
contended tnat if the Consul had fled certain
papers as instructed he would have expert
enced no trouble in collecting the amount
alleged to De due. Because of Simpsons fail
ure TO 90 this suit was begun against him for
the $3.50. Last week the action was dismissed
with prejudice, it being understood that a
compromise had been effected. 1t seems now
that these negotiations were not fruitful of
good results, for a second suit, as already told,
was instituted yesterday

face was painted a bright red from the
blood which streamed from his nose.
Shannon scored good lead in this round,
but Lewis fought game, however.
In the eight and last round Lewis fought
like demon, and Shannon was very tired
when the gong sounded the end OF the
contest.
Sharkey declared the contest draw.
Itwas understood that Jimmy Anthony
of Australia was to fight two men, but
Cooney failed to meet his agreement, and
instead of weighing in at ll5 pounds ne
scaled 123 pounds. His second opponent,
Billy Carkeek, scaled ll32 POUNDS anu
was accepted. The contest between Car
keek and Anthony was ten rounds. Car
keek fought very gsmely, but he was out,
classed from the start. and In the thlrd
round he led for Anthony's lace ana re-
ceiyed a short right stab in the stomach
which put him to sleep in his own cor
ner. .o-,
The event of the evening came at 1O;5o
tween Gus Herget and Lon Agnew. Inc
contestants wrangled over referee for
half an hour, when they finally selected
Tom Sharkey who came up TO the scratch
smiling. He said: s.If these two men are
on their feet at the end of ten rounds they
agree to make the match draw
The first round was uninteresting. Only
light blows were landed.
In the second round the fighters warmed
up, and Herget took quite lead. he
punched Agnew some good. rights and
fefts on the face, and avoided Agnew's
right swings by clever ducking. He was
the weaker man. though, at the call OF
time.
In the third round Agnew kept Herget
going, and at the end Gus was as weak as
a cat. Condition told on him.
In the fourth round Agnew had Herget
in bad way and just before the gong
sounded Herget was knocked down by
punch in the stomach. He took his nine
seconds and then stepped feebly to his
corner.
Herget was saved by the timely sound
OF the gong in the fifth round. He made
a game stand and punched Agnew several
times in the nose, but being out of condi-
