Judge Hamilton has just handed
down his decision in the case
of Ingle VS. the City of Philomath.
This is the fourth decision in this
case and like all the others is in
favor of Ingle. The case began in
Justice Bryson's court, and is one
in which J. W. Ingle sued the City
Of Philomath for $1.75 for nails
purchased by the city. The costs
in the case now amount to about
$3.50.
D. NJ. Ross, of Box, this county,
was in Corvallis this week on bust
ness. Mr.. Ross has spent much
time and some money during the
past several years in an attempt to
have his neighbors cooperate in
opening a road from Box to the
Yachats. The distance is only
about two miles, and besides
furnishing an outlet for the people
of that neighberhood, will be a great
convenience to parties from the
valley who. wish to drive to this
pleasant summer resort.
Mrs. John Asher, who resides
near Philomath, attempted suicide
last week by cutting her throat
with a razor. She has two young
children, and it is said that one Of
the little boys caught her hand
after she had given herself a cut on
each side Of the throat and kept
her from cutting herself fatally.
While one of the boys guarded the
mother the other warned the father.
It is thought that she suffered from
some sort of mental disorder that
caused her to attempt her life.
However, at present she is getting
along nicely.
Early Wednesday morning sher-
iff Burnett received a telephone
message from Philomath calling
his attention to the fact that it was
thought two children OF Sam Dixon,
of that city, had smallpox. The
sheriff deemed 1t wise to investi-
gate the report and telephened DR..
c. HI. Newth, of Philomath, to as
certain if such was the case.
In the afternoon Mr.. Burnett
received a message from the
doctor informing him that
there were two mild cases Of small
pox in this family, little girl about
six years old and baby.
Gard of Thanks.
