LELAND LUMBER 20.
Changes Hands. New Enterprise
Preparing for Business.
The Best Lumber Men in the State Now al In,
Head Of the Company.

The Leland Lumber Company
changed hands last week, and the
new management shows from the
improvements they are making on
the yard that it is their intention
of going after the business
Mr.. A. A. Woods, who is we'll
known in our county aud. who is
the largest stockholder, is now at
the head of the new company. His
many years of lumber experience
unquestianably fits him for the
position and guarantees its sue
cuss. He will also retain his po-
sltlon as representative of the
Southern Mills and will keep open
his Memphis Office for the hand
ling of that trade. This will en-
able him to supply all small orders
from his Leland yards and carload
lots direct from the mills, saving
expense in freights and selling at
competitive prices.
MI, W. b. Fielder is in charge
OF the Leland yards and will make
the company valuable man.
The company has already dis
tinguished itself in receiving this
week from the mills the largest
car load of lumber ever shipped
in the world. The car contained
43. 600 feet.
Mr.. Woods is having new sheds
erected for the storing of the diff
ferent kinds of lumber; also car
tracks placed over the yard SO that
the facilities for the handling of
the lumber will be equal to the de-
mand. There is no doubt, with
The management and its facilities.
The new company has a bright bus |,

century mark in her life. Several
days previous she suggested to the
society that each member should come
to tile Cabbage Patch, as she calls
her home, and bring with them their
own birthday offering and assist her
in celebrating her fiftieth birthday.
All who know the dear lady realize
that hint or slightest intimation

assembled at her hospitable home
where we we're cordially received by

The pleasures OF the day were be-

prayer, after which each guest con-
tributed their offering, and strange to
say, there were few centenarians
present, at least one would infer ss
much, for there were several 100
cents given in. General conversation
ensued. We doubt very much it an
expert stenographer could have caught
half of the words spoken. Such
confusion and noise of tongues was
never excelled but once before that
We have any record of, and that was

Sailor Picked Up in Red Sea Who
Alleges That He Was in Water
for Three Days.
FELL FROM INDIAN TRADER
Captain of Vessel That Picked
Him Up Believes Man Was
Overheard for Thirty.six
Hours at Least.

New York. July 1s.--Among num-
Der of tales related by the crew of the
steamship Shimosa, just arrived from
Japan and China, and which reported
having run over q large whale a few
miles outside OF Sandy Hook, is one to
the effect that while the big freighter
was speeding through the Red sea a
Lasear sailor was picked up. The
swarthy heather declared he had been
swimming three days and nights, hav-
ing fallen overheard from an Indian
trader bound for Antwerp. Captain
Champlin is certain that the man was
at least S6 hours in the water before
the Shimosa picked him up.
1T was about o'clock on June 49,"
he said. I'VE were steaming through
the Red sea and were three or four
days from Suez. when the lookout
sighted something in the water on the
port bow. The ship stopped and few
minutes later the chap was swimming
alongside. We got the sea ladder over
and he climbed on board without de-
lay.
we gave him a wash down with
fresh water and a peg Of rum TO liven
him UP, and then after giving him
something to eat. sent him to bed. He
seemed all right when he woke up
the next morning but we could get lit
tie out OF him except the name of the
vessel from which he had fallen over
board and his statement that he had
been three days and nights swim
ming.
On reaching Suez we found that the
Imaun. to which the Lascar belonged,
had touched there just s6 hours be-
fore we arrived. From this Judge
the man had been that length Of time
in the water. l sent him to the Brit

NO HOPE FOR INJURED MAN.
Trapze Performer Whose Back Was
Broken Can Not Recover.

New York, July 12.--Louis M. Card
ner Of Milwaukee, trapeze performer
whose back was broken three years
ago by fall during an exhibition in
London, has arrived here. He is be-
ing taken back to his old home, after
having been treated by the best Euro
pean specialists who, however, gave
no hope for his recovery.
Gardner's fall in the London circus
was witnessed by a well known rich
banker of New York The performer,
although badly stunned for moment,
was so cool over his misfortune that
the banker became interested and gave
directions that nurse be employed
and the young man treated regardless
Of expense. His directions were fol-
lowed and during three years past ev-
cry effort has been made to patch up
the injured spine, but the surgeons
finally declared that it could not be
accomplished and advised sending
Gardner to his home in Milwaukee.

THE MEANEsT MAN.
Takes Advantage Of His Client to Ac-
quire His Wife.

QAHS tIES WuSs
Seattle. Wash, July ia sensa-
ton was sprung In Seattle when the
news leaked out that Frank II. Rud-
kin, superior Judge Of Yakima county
and republican cadidate for Judge OF
the state supreme court, had been
made defendant in a suit whereby he
is alleged to have fraudulently secured
property.
A few years ago Judge S. o. Nor
ford was living on a farm Of 500 acres.
worth 100000, near North Yackima,
with his wife, Pearl, and Frank II.
Rudkin and Morford were bosom
friends Morford loved Rudkin like
brother. For Is years he had been
the wealthy mans attorney and con-
fidential adviser. Now Frank H. Rud-
kin lives on that farm and is the hus-
band Of the former Mrs. Morford.
Morford is in Alaska trying to re-
trieve the fortune which he says Rud-
kin and his former wife secured from
him by fraud.
Morford and his wife had some
trouble. AS the confidential adviser Of
Morford, Rudkin advised his friend to
allow his wife to secure divorce without
contest and to give her $1,000 in cash
and the three farms, paying an in
come Of $1,000 year. AS attorney
Rudkin dictated the divorce complaint,
had his brother appear in court with
the complainant, and, as judge, grant,
ed the divorce. These things are all
a matter of record. Later Rudkin
married Mrs. Morford. He is now
living in the Morford home.
The suit of Morford against Rud-
kin and his former wife is now pend
ing, and it is expected that even more
sensational evidence will be intro
duced when the trial is called than
the complaint at law shows. For
some reason the facts in the case
never became public until yesterday.
Rudkin's influence kept the facts out
of the Yakima papers. Rudkin was on
the program to speak before the Wash
ington Bar Association in this city last
week At the last moment he sent
word that he could not come.
