evening.
Five prominent citizens of Chicago ar.
rived in Aberdeen yesterday morning in
time to take the train for the Sound, on
their way home, after a three months
trip of exploration in the Olympic noun
tains. The party left the Sound in
March, and, crossing the range, reached
the harbor by coming down the WISH
kah river. They were very reticent as
to their trip, and are believed to have
been on tour of inspection of the forest
reserve for the government. They
brought out number of mineral sam
pies.
One of the incandescent dynamos
burned out at the electric light plant last
night, causing the breakage of the large
belt. Before the engine could be stopped,
the belt tore the floor near it into
splinters, fortunately without injuring
the engineer, Jos. Neiss. Manager Hart,
accompanied by Mrs. Hart, went to
Portland today to have the necessary
repairs made to the dynamo, and the
residences in East Aberdeen and that
part of the city lying north of Market
street will be without electric light until
Sunday night, at least.
George Lauth, young man employed
as slasher at the West 4 Slade mill, fell
on Saw in motion, Friday morning,
and had one of his legs almost sawed in
two. He was removed to the Aberdeen
General Hospital, where the injured leg
was amputated. The young man had
recently joined the order of Foresters Of
America, which was extremely fortunate
for him in his serious misfortune, as the
lodge is looking after him in the most
careful manner, and is arranging to give
a ball for his benefit on June IA, in
Fireman's hall, for the purpose Of pro-
curing him an artificial limb.
The controversy between the city and
James Stewart, over the extension of B
street, bids fair to be settled without
litigation, proceeding that would reflect
credit upon the good sense and business
judgment of both the city council and
Mr.. Stewart, and be very gratifying to
the taxpayer-who has to pay all bills
in the end. The committee of the coun-
Gil and Mr.. Stewart met Monday even
ing in the law Office of J. G. Cross, and
both sides appeared in mood for settle
ment. Mr.. Stewart offered to permit
the use of the old road to the pumping
station while the city opened up B street,
if they proceeded to open it at once. The
committee proposed the continuance of
the matter until this evening, while
they would procure estimates Of the cost
I'm the Police Court.
Geo. Stone was fined 81 and costs Mon
day for assault, in using little more
force than was considered necessary in
ejecting an annoying customer from his
restaurant.
James Henry is working out a fine OF
$40 and costs for being drunk and resist
ing an officer. With Judge Pearson, IS
goes for plain drunk, but any trim
mings come extra.
Joseph Starr was committed to the
city Jail by Judge Pearson Friday, for
being drunk and disorderly, and was re-
leased Tuesday. He Immediately pro-
ceeded to celebrate his liberty by filling
up his tank with, what Cushman would
call, "red and rebellious liquor" and
was again brought before Hisonor, who
doubled the dose on this Star customer.
Judge Pearson sat as justice of the
peace Tuesday afternoon, hearing the
case Of Chas. Everson VS.. Carl Cristen-
sen. Everson is proprietor of the Del
Monte hotel and brought suit to collect
board bill of $50 and garnisheed the
wages of Christensen, at the West Il Slade
mill. Christensen did not dispute the
bill, but claimed his wages exempt, as
he was married man. On being exam
ined, it transpired that his wife was in
Norway, and he had not seen her in sew
en- years, although he claimed to have
sent money to support her. The court
held that this marriage was at too long
range to exempt his wages, and gave
judgment for Everson, for the amount
of his bill and costs.
