Sheriff kroutinger and Others for Wrongful
Convsrsion-The Jury Awards $iIi3.

The jury in the case of Robert NeaI
against A. W. Kroutinger as sheriff anC
others returned a verdict to the cour
this morning in favor of the plaintiff
awarding him $III3 damages for the
seizure and wrongful conversion of hi.
grain.
This case grew out of the levy of an
! execution against the plaintiff by Sheriff
| kroutinger in 1901. The First National
Bank of Lewiston, Idaho, caused to be
issued an execution against McCauley
Bros. and Johnson to satisfy claims for
sass due the bank In serving the exc
cution Sheriff Krcutnger levied OH 45o
| sacks of fax and 400 sacks of oats in
possession of Robert Near on claim that
the McCauley's owned all interest in the
grain. Half the grain was sold to satisfy
the execution. In the trouble growing
out of the levy and the sale of the pro-
perty. Near was once arrested on charge
OF larcery of the grain and thrown in
motion of the county attorney.
The plaintiff instituted this suit to re-
cover $1,000 damages for the seizure and
wrongful conversion of his grain. The
case has attracted much attention and
the trial has been followed with interest.
The plaintiff was represented by S. S.
Detuiuu and nan1 NaaJbo,, o.J tlo
defendants, A. w. Kroutinger, Jno F.
Vollmer, +. w. Eaves and the First
National Bank by G. w. Tannahill The
trial continued through two days and
went to the jury last evening verdict

and presented to the cou this morning.
It is estimated that over aud above the
value of the grain, Mr.. Near has secured
by the verdict about $500 exemplary
damages. He still has cause of action
against the sheriff for malicious prosecu-
tion arising from his arrest for the charge
of larceny of his own grain aud it is pro
bable suit for damages will be iustitut-
ed.

THE DALLES CELLO CANAL
Government Board Of Engineers will Meet in
Portland Nay II to Consider Modification Of
harts Plans-Wil Examine Entire Route.

HartS PlanS-Will Examine Entire Route.
The Oregonian reports some activity
III the government engineering depart.
| ment over the consideration Of The Dalles-
Cello canal. The board of engineers
having the matter in charge will meet in
Portland May IL to confer with Major
1.ongfit and go over the Hart plans TO
keep within the estimate. The Wash
ington report is as follows:
Representative Moody before leaving
Washington, had final conference with
members of the Board of Engineers hav,
ing under consideration the opening of
the Columbia river from The Ealles TO
Cello, and was informed that the Board
will meet in Portland May II to consider
more fully all data that has recently been
collected by Major Longft regarding the
portion of the river to be improved
Mr.. Moody says that, while it is i'm
possible to say what the Board will fin
ally report, its conclusion will largely
depend upon calculations 10 be based
on data that has been compiled by Major
Longfit, bearing on the several modifda-
tions or substitutions for the Hart pro-
iect.
Mr.. Moody also had under considera-
ton also with the engineers the removal
of one Of the reefs at TENN Rapids,
with view to facilitating steamboat nav
igation up to the lower end Of the pro-
posed state portage road, That PROPOSE
ton will be considered by the Board
when it meets. The Board will probably
visit the distractions in the river and will
determine for itself the need of blasting
on this reef. Having viewed the river
during the summer, the board at its COM
ing meeting will have ample opportunity
to see the stream at the high stage of the
water and form better idea of the vol
ume OF water to be controlled
The Board will make an extraordinary
effoit to devise practical plan that can
be carried out at cost not exceeding
Captain Hart's estimate for the original
sche me, and there is some hope that such
plan may eventually be found. In the
light of data tnat has teen collected by
Major Longfit, the Board will be able to
closely estimate the cost of the several
notifications of the Harts' project that
have been proposed and will also be able
to estimate the cost of other schemes that
have been brought forward by other en-
gineers.
Mr.. Moody has urged that, if the Harts
plan in an amended form is not agreed
upon, the Board seriously consider the
proposition of a continuous canal from
the Big Eddy to Cello, and determine
whether or not such canal can be built
by making use of natural channels
through the rocks to the south of the
river, at a cost not greater than Harts'
estimate. This suggestion will be inves-
tigaIed aud, and if it proves feasible at
reasonable cost, may be accepted, as the
advantages of a continuous canal are rec
ognized by many of the officers.

A carload of electrical machinery was
received this week for the Lewiston light
horse power generator which will be in
stalled at once 10 replace the present one
which only has capacity of goo horse
power. The demand for lights and
power in Lewiston and Clarkston has
made it necessary to increase the equip

used at the city water works will be in
stalled about the first Of Jnly and there is
growing demand for motor service. Su-
perintendent Jennings says the demand
for motors exceeds the manufacture and
all orders are consequently vcry mach
delayed.

Mat white men have reached even the

shaped mass, formed Of intrusive rock,
that towers to an elevation of more
than 10000 feet above sea level.
Though so much higher than Mount st.
Elias it's ascent is probably not so diff
cult, and the task will probably be soon
attempted. Details of the routes of

1t is now estimated that the damages
caused by the recent storms to the
harbor of Copenhagen amounts to not
less than 10000 crowns. Such a ter
rife storm has never in the memory
of any living person visited the
shores of Denmark. Fortunately
there were only few vessels in the
harbor at the time, or the loss of life
and property would have been enor
nous.
A young attorney in Randers named
Ravn Gregersen has suddenly disap-
peared from that city and written from
Hamburg that he will not return and
that search for him will be futile.
He. is said to- have embezzled 10000
crowns, and it's believed that he has
gone to America.
