A Claim for Damages.

DIR. Belle Howard, who was arrested
by Sheriff Van Deventer, of Seattle
last spring, and taken to Peoria, ILL.,,
for alleged malpractice which resulted
in the death of young woman of that
city, it seems has been cleared by q
jury trial, and it is said that Mrs
Howard will return and institute pro.
ceedings against the Sheriff for dam.
ages. 1t will be remembered that the
doctor was arrested at the residence oil
Mrs. Marshall, on a small farm near
this city, and it is the treatment she
received after arrest, which will con.
stitute the groundwork of her suit for
damages. She alleges that she was
compelled to walk to this city without
affording her an opportunity to don
suitable clothing to protect her from
the cold; that while here she was
thrown into Jail and kept till late at
night, when she was taken in buggy
at nighttime to Tacoma, where she
was lodged in a room without fire and
kept there till she was taken to Seat
tie, from all which exposure serious
illness resulted, and upon this she
bases O claim for damages.

Columbia Wins.

Columbia was the winner of the in
ternational yacht race over the Long
Island course, Monday. The winning
boat came out about ten minutes in
time and nearly a mile in distance
ahead. On Tuesday, both boats had a
fair start, in fourteen minutes the Co.
lumbia had passed the Shamrock,
when the latter's topmast, with the
big club top-sail was carried away
The latter Immediately luffed to the
wind and prepared to take a tow
The Columbia kept on around the
course according to the rules and was
accredited the race it was evident she
had already won. The agreement is
that no accident to either craft shall
bar the other as winner. The final
contest came off to-day, and the Co
lumbia came out ahead with six min
utes and 81 seconds to spare. So the
cup remains here, after half century
of determined contest to wrest it from
our people.

EDITOR STANDARD:
When newspapers sharply accuse
each other of committing grammatic-
al errors or other forms of literary
heresy, and then proceed to give pub
licity to their conflicting views, it is
one of the inalienable rights of can
did public to know the correct out

papers fail to extend this privilege to
their readers, then do they fail in
their mission as public educators. In

Wreck of the Laurada.

The steamship Laurada was wrecked
on st, George Island, Alaska, on the
18th ult. She sailed from Seattle on
the Eth of that month for Cape
Nome, with Il crew OF is, ard 20 pas
sengerS, CARRYING besides full cargo
OF freight. Her voyage northward
was marked with disaster. The first
day out she ran aground in Active
pass, but got of without damage. In
the open ocean she struck Il fearful
northwestern gale, which made her
condition fearful one in her deep
laden condition. She stopped at Mel
takatlah to relieve herself of cargo,
and the deckload of lumber and coal
was left. She then proceeded north
ward, but on the 9th it seems her
plates were started and it was found
to be impossible to keep from swamp
ing, by incessant pumping. She was
then beached in Zapadine bay, and
her passengers, crew and enough of
comforts from the ships stores to pro-
vide for them till relief could be
found, were landed
A day or two afterwards the Reve-
nue. cutter Corwin was signalled pass
ing down the coast and stopped in
taking such passengers as wished to
leave the island to Dutch Harbor.
1t seems that the owners OF the
Laurada, Sol. Simpson being one OF
them, do not despair of saving the
vessel, and the steam schooner Towns
end has already been dispatched from
San Francisco, with a crew and appli-
ances for raising her from the sands,
and placing her in sufficiently sea-
worthy condition to reach some dry
dock, probably on the Sound.
The Laurada is an iron screw
steamer of $50 tons net, and was
built in England during 1864. Her
dimensions are 23O.1 feet long, 3O.2
feet beam and IT'S feet depth of hold.
Her history has been one OF activity
and ceaseless labor. For years she
was privateer, hunting and being
hunted. Her last exploits in war
were during the late unpleasantness
with Spain, and her aged sides carry
evidences of severe pounding from ar
tillery.

A Travelling Courthouse.

The citizens OF Boxbutte county,
Nebraska, lately having on their
hands the job of removing a court.
house to a new location, from Hem.
ingford to Alliance, a distance of -
miles, or building new one involving
cost of $4,000, struck upon the
plan OF making the Burlington and
Missouri Railroad common carrier
for that object. They doubtless the
more readily induced the company to
undertake the task from the fact that
the corporation was a large taxpayer
in the county and of course interested
In keeping the expense levy down to
as low a figure as possible. The
courthouse, two-story structure OF q
width of So feet and so feet in length.
was placed upon four 10000 pound
capacity trucks, heavy bridge-timbers
being interposed between the stills of
the building and the trucks, to secure
an even bearing and proper distribu.
ton OF the load. The building was
then steadied on its narrow longitud.
inal base by placing two heavily bal
lasted coal cars in front and rear, and
running guy-ropes from the caves to
the car axles. AS the country is
quite level the whole distance, the
only distractions encountered we're
some small elevations on the road-bed
which had to be reduced to the track
grade. The trip was made without
mishap, the building speeding over
the prairie at q rate of from five to
six miles per hour. This is probably
the first instance on record in which a
courthouse literally came to court.
