THE main contention however, so
far as the San Pedro company was con-
cerned,' said Mr.. NEhittemOre, was to
hold the Meadow Valley wash, and in
that we have been successful. We are
very wei satisfied with the result. The
court, presumably. has held that the
construction of grade gives them a
prior right TO the ground
This decision means that the Short
Line has failed signally in its efforts

refused to restrain us there, but has

murrer to their supplementary bill.

stated, took another view of the case

When asked what information the Short
Line had received, replied: Il am in

We might have wished it TO, perhaps,
but what there is of it is certainly ia
VOrable TO lis. our Understa ending is
that the injunction against the san

The San Pedro Route.

In the accompanying map is shown
a route now being surveyed by the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake com
pany which viii, in all probability, be
the one selected unless the impending
litigation between the San Pedro and
Short Line companies should make
some other outlet more desirable
This route, lying westward of Salt
Lake to Deep Creek, thence south to
Phoebe and on to Clover Valley juno
ton and the mouth of the Meadow VAL
icy wash, has scarcely been suggested
until nov It would put Deep Creek on
the maiE line, as may be seen at a
glance The route is considered the
most practical and about thirty miles
shorter than any other to the mouth
of the Meadow Valley wash. A corps
of surveyors are working south from
Deep Greek on the proposed route at
the present time. After they have
made a location, 1t viii not take long to
determine which of the several routes
VIII be utilized
In case the grade is eventually Sc
cured by the san Pedro company, the
line now proposed would connect with
It at Phoebe, and leave it again at
Clover Valley Junction. The forty
miles Of grade extending from the lat
ter point to Uvada would be the be-
ginning of a branch 10 the iron fields

DEATH OF MRS. PAUL KRUGER MAY
END THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA

Africans assert that he is dependent
upon allowances which Mr.. Kruger has
agreed to make for him if he continues
the struggle so long as possible.
There is no practical method of veri-
flying these explanations. but this ac~
count comes from South Africans who
ought to know what they are talking
about.
The newspapers refer in tones Of
sympathy to the death Of Mrs. Kruger.
It is expected that the British army in
South Africa viii pay to her in death
honors which her former position
would have demanded.

A Day With the Court.

Before Judge Lynch Joseph YuSha-
wicz, who was convicted last week on
charge of manslaughter growing out of
the killing of Martin Cawley in the de-
fendant's saloon at Duryea on the night
of May 26 last, was sentenced to pay
fine of $500 and the costs and to an i'm
prisonment of two years at labor in the
county Jail. M. II. McAniff, the de-
fendant's attorney, made motion for u
new trial on the ground that the verdict
was against the evidence and the law
and not in accord with the charge of
the court. In denying the motion Judge
Lynch said the verdict of the jury was
not against the charge of the court.
The jury, he said, was composed of in
telligent men and they had tried the
case fairly. One of the reasons, he said,
for so much crime in this county was
the carrying and the reckless use of
deadly weapons. The court could see
no reason why man in this county
should have loaded revolver, knife or
deadly weapon on or about his person.
The defendant, he said, admitted that
he kept II loaded revolver behind the
bar within easy reach. Yushawicz had
no right to take the life of the deceased.
An odd shoe was the means of con
yicting James Courtrlght, at Wilkes
barre, and sending him to Jail for two
years. He was accused of receiving
stolen goods, the case being based on
shoe found in his house, the mate of
which was in box at the Lehigh Valley
depot, which thieves had broken into.
Joseph Vite, of town, pleaded guilty
to killing Ralph Salvatore, at Hazleton
on June 30 last, in court yesterday. He
was sentenced to pay fine of $500 and
undergo Imprisonment for twelve years
in Eastern penitentiary.
