The jury in the case of W. o. Ceder-
son. administrator, VS.. the o. r. & N.
Co., returned a verdict Tuesday for
$4,000 damages, the full amount asked
for in the complaint The case was
begun on Friday of last week. and was
ably and stubbornly contested by
Judge Bennett, attorney for plaintiff,
and Messers. Minor and Long, attor-
neys for the railroad company. This
was case in which much interest
was taken, from the fact that the
cause of the death of VIM Cederson,
for which the railroad company was
asked to pay damages, was most pecu-.
liar, and many technical points were
raised as to the liability of the COM
pany for the accident. About year
ago deceased started TO cross the o. R.
& N. track near Seufert's cannery,
when a freight train was passing, and
owing to the breaking of a fiange on;
one of the car wheels, car left the
track, falling on Mr.. Cederson and
crushing him to death. The plaintiff
held that the company was responsible
for the accident in that the broken
fange showed it was an old break,
and that it was negligence on the
part of the company, while the defend
ent held that Cederson was a tres
passer, being on the company's land
without permission at the time of the
accident, though the testimony show
ed that he was on regularly travelled
thoroughfare when he was killed.
Tie verdict is the largest possible
damages allowed by the statute of
Oregon for the accidental killing of a
person.

Stole q Typewriter.

When Hon. W. II. Wilson sat down
to his table Thursday to do some
writing, he found his typewriter, a
lensmore, had vanished. Thinking
perhaps some one had taken it off the
table for joke, he began searching
his Office, but the machine was no.
where to be found. and on close ex-
animation he found some one had
climbed through the transom over the
door, seized the typewriter and dis
appeared. The door fastens with q
spring lock, and after gaining admis-
sion through the transom, the thief
evidently had passed out the door,
closing it behind bin, and lost him.
self in the darkness of the night.
Presumably the thief only wanted a
typewriter, as he did not disturb any
thing in the Office. There was so
cents worth Of postage stamps and
other papers on the table by the type
writer, but they had not been modest
ed. Mr.. Wilson'S Office is on the
second floor in the French Bank
building, and the thief to escape must
have come down the stairs to Wash
ington street, one Of the principal
thoroughfares Of the oity,' and it is
strange he was not observed by pas
sers by. The typewriter was found at
the Great Northern Furniture store
this afternoon where the thief had

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

During the past two years OF
extreme dull times the Times
Mountaineer has been sent reg
ularly to a great many who no
doubt appreciate the paper, but
who have not been called upon
for a settlement of their sub
scription. During those years
we have endeavored to keep the
paper going without calling up
ON delinquents, knowing that
money was difficult to get; but
now that times have improved
we feel that our patrons should
not only settle all arrearages,
but pay their subscription one
year in advance. We have trust
ed many of you one and two
years, and feel that a return OF
the compliment is due. You
are therefore urgently requested
to pay up back subscriptions and
one year in advance, which will
entitle you to the Times-Moun-
taineer and the Webfoot Planter
one year as a premium.

THE WHITMAN ANNIVERSARY.
Appropriate Ceremonies- Conducted

Appropriate Ceremonies Conducted q
waIia walIa Last Monday.
Monday, Nov. 20, was the .50th ami
versary of the Whitman massacre, in
which DIR. and Mrs Marcus Whitman
and their associates lost their lives.
That event was appropriately observed
at Wslla Walla Monday evening in
the spacious opera house which was
filed to its utmost capacity. 1t had
been arranged that the Whitman mon
| umeIt should be unveiled on that day,
but the magnificent spire that is to
mark the resting place of DR.. Whit
man was not completed, hence the un-
yelling ceremonies were dispensed
with.
When the exercises opened at the
opera house the building was crowded.
Seats were reserved on the floor of the
house for the Indian war veterans, the
G. A. r. and the students of Whitman
college. The lower boxes, right side,
ware reserved for survivors OF the
Whitman massacre. The lower boxes
on the left side were reserved for the
mayor and city council, while the up
per boxes on both sides of the house
were occupied by the college faculty
and their guests. The trustees of the
college were seated on the platform
and behind them was chorus of 60
~ l.;
of music.
The prominent feature of the pro-
gram was the oration by Rev. l.. H.
Hallock, D. D., of Mills college, Cal
ifornia. His subject was "Whitman
and the Flag" and was handled in a
most mastery and interesting man
ner. DR.. Hallock was in sympathy
with his subject, and spoke with
natural eloquence apd feelings OF the
deeds of the martyr whom the North
west delights to honor.
The music by the college choir of 90 !
voices was beautiful and grand. One
selection rendered was "Fanctuff,"
which delighted all hearers.
A vocal solo was sung by Miss
Brandt, and Prof. Otto A. Hauerbach,
Of Whitman college, read an original
poem written by a distinguished edi-
;or, whose name is withheld from

POWERFUL WAVES,
The Eject of a Gale Over the Great Sal
Lake.

Iue Euect OF q GaIe over the Great Sal
Lake.
A correspondent of the Youths Com
panion recently witnessed most con
vincing proof of the weight of salt
laden waters of the Great Salt lake
A strong gale of wind was BLOWN,
over the lake and driving its surfac,
into low, white-capped ridges. Will,
along the shore the foam lay like fla
| banks of new-fallen snow. If it hat
passed across lake of fresh water O
equal extent that wind would unques
tionably have produced such an agita
ton of its surface that navigation il
small boats would have been dificul
if not highly perilous.
But the waters of the Great Sal
lake, although driven into ridges n.
just remarked, showed a curious re
sistance to the wind and the waves
rising to only a slight elevation, moved
along with an appearance of lethargy
that the eye could not but notice.
Yet there was an immense momen
tum stored up in those low, heavy
slow-moving waves. Ventur1ng into
the water at a point where the deptl
did not exceed four feet the observe,
found that it was impossible to stant
against them. Their sheer weigh,
swept him resistlessly along.
The curious buoyance of the water
containing twenty-five per cent. o.
salt in solution, increased the helpless
ness of the bather. He was not sub

New Jerseys Insects Revenge for Viola
| tion of Monroe Doctrine
The-harrowing news comes from Lon
don that a mosquito has been taken
alive in Hertfordshire. A gentleman
living at Barley, Royston, writes to a
London paper that on a recent evening
he encountered the ferocious beast in
his bedchamber.
An Englishman is always brave, and
it seems almost superfluous to add that
the man of Barley grappled with the
creature single-handed, nor stayed his
hand until it was under subjection. We
sometimes read of such feats of derring
doe even in these degenerated days.
Next to vindicating his personal
bravery, an Englishnan's first duty is
to write to his newspaper and tell about
it. To this admirable national trait
the readers of the Sunday Herald are in
debted for the particulars herein set
forth. The man of Barley had Travelled
in far countries. Among other places
he had visited the famous city of New
Jersey, and in the transmississipplan
capital had met and coped with the
mosquito in it's lair.
Thus he is able to identify his quarry
and lay before the British public .
narrowing picture of the animals dis
tinguishing traits.
'The specimen caught" he writes,
s..has every characteristic of the for
eign mosquito, especially the New
Jersey variety. I believe they have
been brought to England with timber, |
for in New Jersey the logs of timber, |
which are usually carried down the |
rivers, have on them mosquito eggs |
gathered from the surface of the wa
ter, where they breed, and so in this
manner are transported to Europe,
where the sunshine matches them, and
they fly away"
1t now remains only to unite the
English people as one man against the
invader. Hence this suggestions:
Let every person carefully examine
his bedroom window in the morning
and kill them, as by SO doing they would
be prevented laying their eggs and
breeding. Now is the time to act to
prevent them spreading. They may

A kNOrTY LAND CASE.
Title to a Fine Farm In Benton County
Disputed

| Title to a Fine Farm In Benton County
Disputed.
A case of land-jumping has occurred
in the south end of Benton county,
and the title to 1913 acres of cultivated
| land, worth $4,000 or $1,000, is involved.
| The land lies three miles north of
| Monroe, and was purchased by Noah
Starr from the school superintendent
of Benton county March 81, 1860.
The price paid wa. s1O50. Star re-
mained in uDdisputed possession of
the tract until 1882, when flaw was
discovered in his title, and a new
deed to correct title was given him by
the state board of school land COM
missioners. Fifteen years ago Starr
died, and in his will the tract was
given to NJ. G. Starr, son, who re-
mained in peaceful possession until
Thanksgiving day. While the family
was at breakfast that morning, atten-
ton was attracted by the call of some
one in another room who said there
was house in the field. Investiga-1
tion showed that the house had been
erected on the premises during the
night, and that William E. and Her.
mann Shinn, brothers, were the occu-
pants. They claimed perfect title to
the. property. Starr ordered the,
brothers off the premises, but they
refused to go. Starr then brought |
proceedings of forcible entry and de-
tainer in a justice court at Monroe to
GUST them. The case was tried, and |
the verdict of the jury was that the |
Shinns are lawful owners of the land
The claim of the Shinns to the land !!
is based On an alleged flaw in Starts
title. At the hearing in the justice
court, evidence was presented show
ing that in 1853, seven years before
Starr bought the land, man named
Hunter had included the 198-acre tract
now in dispute, in his filing for dona-
lion land claim. Hunter afterward
abandoned the property, but his appli-
,ation for donation claim was not
until 1896. Other evidence
ldduced was to the effect that in 1854
leu land had been selected for the 1913
Icres, and that therefore the tract at
he time Starr bought it as school
and was not school land at all. The |
'hinns also presented certificates
rom the Roseburg land Office relative
o their filings. which were made
bout the middle of October and on
he 9Th day of last month respectively. +,
v. E. Shinn filed on 160 acres and
Ierman Shinn on % acres of the
tar tract,
