ton and Hartford Railroad, Joe Boone, a
brakeman, in attempting to couple cars,

by one of the wheels which crushed both
thighs, breaking the legs, bone also. He
was Immediately carried to Gumberry to
surgeon OF the railroad, DR.. Davis, who
brought him to Jackson to get DR.. H. w.
Lewis to assist in operating. 1t is expected
that he will not survive the night.

LEGAL SIDE LIGHTS
Grinding Out Lawyers

Grinding Out Lawyers
The law department of the State Univer,
sity graduated a number of students this
week, and another batch of attorneys will
soon be seeking those whom they may de-
vour which means anyone that is foolish
enough to go into court on account of some
petty grievance There are a whole lot of
people in this world who seem to think that
they can get satisfaction out of their fellow
men in no other way save by the judge and
jury route, and they do this without stop
ping to count the cost of obtaining such sat
isfaction. A clerk of the superior court not
long since remarked to a representative of
this paper that he had paid some attention
to the costs following the cases of which he
kept record, and in almost every instance
the attorneys fees, the cost of the court and
the time lost in attending the trial of such
cases more than consumed whatever was
gained on either side, and in some instances
more than consumed everything that was
being contended for by both sides. Going

Hon. A. E. Mead as they would have Mr.
Atkinson So far as Mr.. Wilson is concerned
The Republican is of the opinion that
he would have willingly supported anyone
nominated at that convention with the bare
exception of perhaps W. M. Ridpath. He
certainly has no personal or political objec-
tions to Mr. Coon and the efforts of the
Times to charge him with trying to throw
Coon off the ticket were false from begin
ming to end and the Editor of the Times
knew the statement was false at the time.
1t was published not SO much perhaps to
iniure Mr.. Wilson as to play even with
Editor Brainerd with whom the editor of
the Times was in mortal editorial combat,
The Republican delegation to the Nation
al Convention, which meets in Chicago June
2Ist is about ready to leave for its des-
tination. It is rumored that Senator Lew
Ankenv will be chosen chairman of the del
egation and that Charles Sweeney will be
selected as national committeeman Jim
Ashton of Tacoma is also candidate. The
friends of Senator Ankeny are in the major
ity on the delegation but it is not believed
that he will take any part in the fight as he
has had all of the political fight he wants
and he will let each individual member OF
the delegation vote as he sees fit for the
chairman thereof and the national commit
teeman.
The banquet held by the Republicans last
Thursday evening, which was given by
Chairman Palmer and Treasurer Hoge, was
we'll attended and matters of much impor
tance were freely discussed by the various
candidates. Among other things that were
decided upon was that the campaign should
not be opened before the 18th of September
and thereby allowing only six weeks to cam
paign the state and that the headquarters of
the state central committee should remain
in Seattle Chairman Palmer was assured
by the candidates that he would be given
every assistance in the power of each one
of them in order that the campaign might
be successfully conducted.

that a poor man should do.
He Took His Socks Back
Speaking about going to court for trivial
things. a lady stenographer, WhO by the
way, works for one of the largest firms in
this city, tells of storekeeper in neigh
boring town that sold a pair of socks and
few other smaller articles to a man who
pretended to be working at a neighboring
mill In other words the man almost got
the things under false pretenses. The mer-
chant on enquiring into the situation found
that the man had nothing coming to him
at the mill, he having drawn all his wages.
The merchant, therefore, pursued him. and
on coming up to him proceeded to give him
a genuine drubbing, and also took the art
icles purchased in his store away from him.
The fellow being not much of a fighter
thought he had gotten off easy, but on COM
ing to town he told an attorney of the Incl
dent and the attorney induced him to file
a damage case against the merchant, which
fellow did, and it cost the merchant
$4,000 damages to say nothing of the cost
of court and loss of time during the trial
The merchant may have gotten good deal
OF satisfaction out of licking that fellow and
the fellow may have gotten good deal of
satisfaction Out of getting verdict for
$4,000 personal damages, but when the at
torneys got theirs there was nothing more
to it.

POLITICAL POT=PIE

been called to meet in Bel1ingham, August
end which gives ample time to the dele
gates to the National Convention at St.
Louis to return and fix up their fences for
the state convention This of course places
the time of holding the King county con-
vention somewhere in July. lnasmuch as
King county has a candidate for lieutenant
governor it is barely possible that the con-
vention will be held as early as convenient
after the national convention has ad-
Iourned.
Hon. M. B. Maloy, the well known Doug
Jas county Republican, who is Registrar OF
the land office at Waterville, and who was
recently nominated for superior court judge
Of that district, has declined the nomination
and will continue holding his Federal posi-
ton. The nomination was forced on Mr.
Maloy, he having at no time expressed any
desire for it, and after duly considering it
he decided not to accept.
The Coon episode, which has been the
political gossip of the state for the past two
weeks, for the present seems to have quieted
down, though it may be the usual quiet be-
fore the storm While no direct charges
have been made against Mr.. Coon, yet
good deal mas been passed from mouth to
mouth concerning his past record, which, If
SO, would reflect on the Republican party,
and put it on the defensive. Mr.. Coon's
friends deny the whispered allegation and
say they have proof sufficient to satisfy the
minds of the other candidates and the peo-
II { 1. NJ -, +1,io c+o+o
has made any direct charges against him,
but the Oregonian of Oregon did publish
story concerning him, which Mr.. Coon or
his friends should demand the proof, and if
it cannot produce its proof, then it is the
duty of Mr.. Coon to begin both criminal
and damage libel suit against the Oregon
ian.
The labored efforts on the part of the
Times to throw the entire responsibility OF
the Coon episode on Hon. John l.. Wilson
and Chairman E. B. Palmer has fallen fiat,
for even MIR. Coons friends deny that
either of them had anything in the world to
do with the circulation of the story or had
anything to do with digging it up While
it may have been political blunder to have
nominated a governor, lieutenant govern
or, secretary of state, state auditor and a
presidential elector all from the northwest,
yet that was no funeral of either John L.
Wilson or his friends who hope to see him
go to the United States senate. He was not
a delegate to the state convention nor was
the delegation from King county sent to the
state convention in his senatorial interest.
There is no doubt but that the governorship
should have gone to Eastern Washington
and the logical candidate for that nomina-
ton was Hon John D. Atkinson, but he was
not nominated for the governorship-
position he sought-but his friends are per-
fectly willing to abide by the decision of the
convention and will as loyalty support the

So There were a couple of men in the
county jail charged with burglary and they
had employed Page to defend them. The
burglary had been committed some months

The case was to be called next week and
Mr.. Craven began looking up his witness,

was unknown. On Saturday, as the prose-
cutting attorney was about to have the case
set for trial Mr.. Page, with sheepish look
on him eased around to Mr. Craven's side
and offered o allow his client to plead
guilty to petty larceny if the burglary
charge was dismissed. Craven knowing the
circumstances said that he would consider
