Goes Into JnsOlrencD to Settle Strife
Betsceem Its Members.
SANTA CRUZ CAL. Jan. 19-The
Grover Cunningham Mill and Lumber
Company has, in order to settle the differ
ences between the two COMPANIES compos-
ing the corporation. filed a voluntary
petition in the Superior Court asking to
be declared iDsolvent. The liabilities of
the petitioner are written in the petition
as $29, 767, and of this amount Cunning
ham & Co. claim credit of $50, 500 and
Grover g. Co. credit of $3110. The actual
debts of the corporation in fact are small.
The trouble between Cunningham q
Co. dates back almost to the time of their
consolidation into the present CORPORA
tion. They were of a character that had
no interest for the public until one Sun
day last spring the Cunntnghams tried to
break open the safe of the corporation for
the purpose of removing the books which
the Growers had locked within. Arrests
followed, but only civil suits were brought.
The Cunninghams had controlled the
election of the board of directors, and the
Growers, having possession of the books,
locked them in the Office safe and changed
the com bination.
From that time there has been an effort
to dissolve the corporati ton, but without
success until the present plan of insolv-
encv was conceived. This action does not
indicate failure in the lumber industry
in Santa Cruz, but the inability of two
lumber companies to do business as
corporation

the COOS Ban Runs Aoround.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. 19-The
steamer Coos Bay ventured to make the
landing here last night at low tide and ran
aground just as it reached the wharf. The
force of it's movement was increased
by long swell that jammed
the vessel so hard against the
piling at the end that dozen
piles were burst from their fastenings, and
one of the steamers small boats was
crushed into kindling wood. The passen-
gers received severe shaking up, but no
one was injured. The tide was unusually
low and the swells were long but not
high. The landing could have been made
easily and without damage two hours
earlier.

NAPA, CAL, Jan. 10 Papers were filed
in the Superior Court yesterday by H.
NJ. Barstow, asking for authority on be-
half of the Veterans Home Association,
to sell its property near Yountville to the
State. This is an outgrowth of the pend
ing dispute between the State officials and
the home directors over the status of the
home and its right to Stale aid. The pro-
ceeding is taken now IN order that the
whole matter may be considered by the
Legislature. It is hoped that the prop
erty may be taken by the State in consid.
Grafton of its agreement to maintain the
home and thus settle the question of the
right of the old veterans to State aid. If
it should not be taken, the petition AYERS.

BOISE, IDAHO, Jan. 19.-Three ballots
were taken in the State Legislature to-day
for United States Senator. The Populists
left Clagett and centered on Walton. Du-
bois held the vote of the silver Republi-
cans while the Democrats favored Lewis
and Nelson, Populists, alternately. The
first two ballots gave Walton 2S Dubois
25, Lewis 16. and the third ballot resulted ::
Walton %, Dubois %, Nelson 16.
There was strong contention in the Pop
ulist caucus. The nti-Ciagett men of the
party offered to vote for Clagett if his
name should then be Withdrawn, but this
was declined, and although it is claimed
the Democrats will never support CIagett
his name will likely pop up again, as he
controls the caucus, and is reported 10
have said that the Senator would be either
himself or Dubois.
1t is also claimed that the Democrats
will axe up Lewis or Nelson seriously,
and on the other hand there are Populists
who declare they will no longer be drag
gooned into supporting Clagett.

''The quick brown fox jumps over lazy! dogs" What does it mean?
 Get ou. your American Cyclopedia and look up the word gluten" It reads. "rt is found by repeated and very careful analysis that the bran of wheat is richer in gleuton, and, consequently, more nu- tritious than the rest of the grain; hence, the preference for flour that, by thorough bofting, has been most completely de- prived of bran is unwise, and the whitest flour Is less valuable for its nurtive qualities" Our forefathers ate good, sweet, rich flour bread made on crude mills, and they were healthy, strong race. Modern milling, in catering to pop ular prejudice, has chased out of flour. about every thing possessing the more vi- dal food propehies to get white flour. The very fact that flour is snow white should condemn it; sweet nutritious flour, that will rise and bake light and fiakey, must have the strength of Ehe wheat. Wash 5urn-C -Crosby's Gold Medal brand is Amer ica's finest family flour. It contains the vital clements which especially feed the nerve and brain structure of the human sys.om.
