HAGER WINS HIS SUIT
Decision of Judge Burnett in Knapp
Case Is Affirmed by Oregon
Supreme Court.

The decision Of Judge George H.
Burnett in the Polk county case of b.
Hager VS. LIE Knapp and F. Knapp,
partners under the firm name of
Knapp & Knapp, was affirmed by the
Supreme Court of Oregon, the decision
of the latter tribunal being handed
down Monday morning.
This action was commenced in JUS
tice Holman's court in Dallas, to re-
cover money due as wages. The cause
was tried and judgment was rendered
against the sawmiIl firm. The defend
ants then appealed to the Circuit Court.
A transcript of all the docket entries
in the Justices court was filed, but the
Justice failed to annex thereto any Of
the original papers filed with him.
Based on the neglect in this particular,
Hager's counsel moved to dismiss
the appeal. Knapp & Knapp's
attorneys filed a cross-motion for a
rule on the Justice requiring him to
annex the omitted papers to the trans
cript, but the latter motion was denied
by Judge Burnett, and the appeal was
dismissed and judgment rendered
against the defendants for costs. The
mill firm then carried the case to the
Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Moore holds that in
an appeal from Justices Court it is
the appellants duty to see that the
original papers are sent up with the
transcript and that in case Of failure
in this respect the issuance Of an order
for the completion of the record is
within the discretion of the Circuit
Court, and will not be reviewed by the
Supreme Court except in case of abuse
of the discretion, which was not shown
in this case.
The opinion is lengthy one, cover
ing nine typewriter pages. The ex-
act point of law involved in this case
had never been raised in the Supreme
Court of this state, and the opinion
treats it very exhaustively and thor
oughly. J. N. Hart, w. H. Holmes
and Webster Holmes, appeared as at
torneys for Knapp & Knapp, and
Oscar Hayter as attorney for Hager
MYER VS. LIvEsLEY.
J. W. Myer, respondent VS. I. A.
Livesley & Co., appellants, from Polk
county, R. P. Boise, Judge, reversed
and dismissed; opinion by Judge
Bean.
Defendants leased a hop yard to w.
ID. Huston, on shares, Huston to per-
form the work, etc, Huston assigned
the lease to Myer, who sought to take
possession, and this being refused,
he brought this suit to enjoin in
reference with the exercise of his al
legged rights, He prevailed in the
court below, but loses on appeal, upon
the ground that "a lease of land upon
shares, including the use of buildings,
farm implements, stock and other per-
sonal property, is regarded as a per-
sonal contract and not assignable
without the consent of the lessor, be-
cause the amount to be received by the
lessor and the care Of the property de-
pend upor the character, industry and
skill of the lessee" w. M. Kaiser, w.
7. Slater and Writ Winor were attor-
neys for appellants, and John H. Nc
Nary and Oscar Hayter appeared for
the respondent.

DIED in MEXICO
Former Dallas Young Man Falls
Victim to Sudden AStacE of
Pneumonia.

James Richardson, the second son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. d. B. Richardson, Of
this city, died Of pneumonia in Sal
tillo, Mexico, on Saturday, November
12, aged 38 years, Z months and 25
days. His illness was of about two
weeks duration. He was a locomotive
engineer on the Coahuila and
Zacatecas railroad, and was we'll
known in railroad circles in Mexico
and Oregon.
James Richardson was the second
son of Mr.. and Mrs d. B. Richard
son, pioneer residents of Dallas, and
was born March II, 1866. He spent
his boyhood days in this city, and
early in life evinced great interest in
railroad work. He spent much of his
leisure time in the train yards and
machine shop, and announced his
determination to qualify himself for
the position of a locomotive engineer.
Ed Biddle, the present owner of the
Dallas Foundry, was at that time in
the employ of the Oregonian Railway
Company as an engineer on the
Dallas Dundee run, and, noting the
young mans ambition, gave him his
start in railroad work by taking him
on the engine as fireman. He served
faithfully in this capacity for several
years, and then transferred to the
East Side road where he finished his
apprenticeship and was given an
engine. He was placed on the Port
land-Roseburg run, and soon gained
reputation as one of the competent
and trusted engineers of she Southern
Pacific Company.
Eight years ago he resigned his
position with the Southern Pacific
Company and went to Mexico where
he secured employment as a fireman
on the Coahuila & Zacatecas railroad.
After firing for six months, he was
placed in charge of an engine. He
continued in the employ of this com
pany until the date of his death. Dur
ing his vacations, he travelled ex-
tensively in Mexico, and gained a
valuable knowledge Of the country, its
history, people and resources.
He was member of the Brother
hood of LOGON olive Engineers, and
before leaving the United States, Joined
the Knights Of Pythias. 1t is not
known whether he kept up his men,
bership in the latter order after
moving to foreign country. He was
unmarried, and is survived by his
father and mother and four brothers.
His remains were given burial in
Mexico, but will be brought to Dallas
next year.
Jimmy, as he was familiarly called
by his acquaintances, was whole
souled, generous young man, and
made friends of all whom he met
When a boy in Dallas, he was fond Of
athletic sports and games, and was
popular among his companions. He
was an expert amateur baseball play
er, and was a member of the famous
Dallas Alerts"-a ball team that
defeated every amateur club from
Portland to the California line in the
early '8Os. The news of his sudden
and unexpected death in a foreign
land, far away from home and kin
dred, was a sad blow to his parents
and brothers, and was received with
deep regret by the people of Dallas
who had known him in his boyhood.

CRIPPLE CREEK OUTRAGE

THE ANARCHlSTIC outbreak at Victor last Monday
morning completely skaters the last claim of the
union miners that they law abiding citizens AT every
fresh outburs of violence the union to the front
with resolutions of condemnation and the statement
didn't do it,; but these denals have lost what little
power they and the people will not longer
be deceived by proestatons of innocence Although the
terrible deed of dynamting of last Monday morning by
which dozen blown into eternity denounced
by the local unions and the Western Federation the public
will hold these organizations responsible for the deed
has perfect right to do Those who the chariaby
inclined toward the admit that this terrible
outrage the result and of the strike for which
there was never reasonable excuse and which was
called against the best Judgment least 80 per cent
Of the union miners themselves.
To say that the majority of the union miners fair
and honorable who would to injure much less
murder their fellows and who abhor all kinds of violence
Ia statement which not be true) does not in
any Tighten modify the effect of the terrible
crimes committed by minority members of the union
The unions admit and harbor of anarchisc instincts
and whose vicious and murderous tendencies they fully
understand More than that the Western Federation puts
at its head Meyer and Haywood pair of apologiss
for crime who thrive boodshed and whose
business it to provoke disturbances and nce to riot
the ignorant and deuded whom they absolutely
control.
There too close connection between the visit last
week of the Western Federation committee the district
and the tragedy of Monday morning put that organza
tion in enviable light with the public The people
lieve that such terrible acts of murder only toer
ated by the Federation officials but that the schemes which
carried out with such terrible effect by ignorant and
vicious dupes in many planned by shrewd but
equally vicious leaders who chairs in Federation
headquarters.
The situation is desperate and the time has come
when radical and desperate action must be taken The
governor with the certainty of power which is given him
by the recent supreme decision should
to that the murderers of Collins Gleason and Beck
and the perpetrators of Mondays outrage
and punished but that those criminal designs
courage and wink at murder should be the
iron hand of the law in uncertain style The day of
temporizing is past. This is time for action.
The Post has supported Governor Peabody throughout
his crusade against anarchy and crime and will continue
to support any official republican democrat who
his hand firmly against violence and crime.

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS

THERE Is every prospect of record breaking
potato crop this year in the Grand and tributary
valleys An almost unlimited market awaits this product
especially potato is of exceptional quality such
is produced by irrigation the western slope. The
Greeley potato does not excel either in flavor
size the product the western slope in fact the
western slope potato preferred by many the
Greeley spud.
This comparatively industry promises to become
second only possibly of the productions of
valley Fruit is somewhat in the lead but the
and liability of failure many to hes
tate embarking the fruit raising business Thus
history fruit the loss has been smaller than
any section of the country and the profit
fully large hundreds being newly cult
vated and come into bearing each succeeding year.
Another opportunity for profit, it seems to u.s. is for
furnish of the local butter product
As it is large shipments of butter made from
and Nebraska every week into Genwood Springs
and the have pay several cents per pound
freight.
If it is profitable for the Kansas farmer to make
butter the price which it nets him why will it
equally profitable for the Grand Valley farmer when he
has the advantage of local market yet only partially
supplied to go into daryng extensively than he is
doing at the present timer

THE NEW CASTLE SITUATION


I EFT US HAVE PEACE IN GARFIELD COUNTY.
The board of county commissioners has refused
to request the governor of the send militia
New Castle at the bequest of the mine and
Others This decision reached after exhaustive evi-
dence from both sides and appears meet the almost
unanimous approval of the citizens of this county.
There to have been altogether much ami
mostly manifested between the striking coal miners
the mine owners, operators and miners who
ploved and known strike breakers During the hearing
it out that several prominent operators had INDUCED
in Incorporate remarks concerning those who
strike of which could be printed and of which
would be designated by----.
Such language becoming to any self respecting
citizen whether he be mine miner and hope
that henceforth both sides may become mbued
the sentiment of brothery love and righteous respect for
the rights and opinions of those who differ from them
The Post believes the impartial enforcement of the
law 1t believes that Sheriff Adams capable of handling
the situation at New Castle in the future and he
promised to do from and the town officials
New Castle have agreed to cooperate with him in his
efforts
There is no doubt that considerable violence has pre-
vailed at New Castle during the past few and
threats made of lots The carrying Of concealed
weapons has prevailed to larger than should
these weapons undoubtedly be used for offensive
warfare while in many were carried for self
protection.
The Post appeals TO the law respecting citizens of
New Castle and Garfield county to that further
trouble threats be made by those of either
tion and above all things LET US HAVE PEACE

Triumphs of Modern Surgery

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds. bruises. burns and like inju-
ries before inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura
tion and in one third the time requir-
ed by the old treatment. Chamber
lain Pain Balm acts on this same
principle. 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and money
not to mention the inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries entail.
