who would wager that he could
Outclass in strength any oil field
worker in the oil belt who has
not been in training.
McFrederick can handle a bit
which would strain any other
four men in the business. Not
only can he pick mp any of the
bits used in drilling wells, but he
can carry it any reasonable dis
tance without doing himself in
jury.
1t was not long ago that he
had some trouble with a drunken
man who picked him up for a
mark. The fellow struck at Me-
Frederick, but missed. MeFred-
erick approaching the fellows
condition, did not hit him. but
picked him up and held him above
his head. and asked him TO prom
ise to be good. The promise was
made, 50 McFrederick placed the
fellow on the floor, put his knee
on top of him and informed him
that if he did not look so insig-
nificant that he would paste him
one just for luck. The fellow
promised to be good only after
the Oil Field Sandow held him
under his bended knee for about
FIVE minutes.

STRONGEST MAN IN
WEST VA. OIL FIELDS

But few Of the oil workers
who come to Parkersburg after
pay day to spend their money do
not know Jim McFrederick. says
the Parkersburg News. And they
all like him. He is a great big.
good-natured fellow who would
do anything in his power for a
friend and would sacrifice any
thing he had to keep any fellow
worker from getting into trouble.
But McFrederick is not German
neither is he French. His name
indicates that he is Irish. and he
does not deny the Impeachment.
In fact. he is rather glad Of the
fact that he comes from a sturdy
stock of Erin's soil.
But McFrederick' $ good nature
differs but little from that Of
many other Of the men who work
in the fields, and he would not
come in for any newspaper men
ton were he not distinguished in
some way. unless he would die.

zeal influence to the party to
which he does not belong.
McFrederick is a man among
a thousand in many particulars,
and he is given credit by all who
know him with being the strong

PORT ARTHUR EAsIER

Port Arthur, March 7.-There is no change in the situation here. The day is fine, presaging an early spring, when land operations in this region will be impossible on a gigantic scale. The Russian fleet rests easily under the shelter of. the great land guns, and the larger Japanese ships being engaged at Vladivostock, q greater feeling of security prevails.

JAPAN CALLS OUT RESERVES

New York, March Io.-The Jap anese government has issued a call for all reserves. This includes all Japanese now living in the United States, and the call is so worded as to appeal directly to them. The patriotic devotion of these people to their country is so we'll known that it is expected they will flock to the aid of their native country in large numbers.
Alaska forum., 1904-03-12

Tokio, March o.-It is believed here that there has already been a decisive naval engagement iu the vicinity of Vladivostok, and tidirgs are anxiously awaited. 1t is said the Japanese fleet did not go to Vladivostok for the purpose of bombarding that town, but to locate and attack the armored cruisers Gromebo, Rossi. Rurik and Bo- gatis. It is understood the Rus sian squadron was present there. This, if true, gave the Japanese the advantage of avoiding the shore batteries, and there is a possibility the Japanese found the Russian ships in the vicinity of Passiot bay and gave battle there. The names and numbers of the Japanese ships are kept secret. The squadron was to separate into two divisions. The navy department expects to receive dispatches from Gensal, where the Japanese fleet was to call after the attack had been concluded.

IN HARD STRAITS
 Russia Designs Sinking Remnant Fleet
 And Abandoning Port Arthur-Japs
 Capture Russian Merchantmen.
 Special to the Porum
 London, March 3.-According :. to the 7imes, Gen. Dragomiroff, former governor of Kieff, has been summoned to St. Petersburg. Dur ing the war deliberations he severe ly criticised Russia's policy, insist ing that both fleet aud army should immediately evacuate Port Arthur in order to avoid a s,i7l greater dis aster. The report is considered in military circles here as of the direst import for Russia. The sinking of tile Russian fleet where they are now lying bottled up in the harbor means the abandonment of all war tactics except land fighting. and all experts point out that they have to depend absolutely upon the rail road and leave the Japanese free to rule the seas aud land troops and withdraw them at will, inviting the worst defeat chronicled for modern armies; yet the situation at Port Arthur is recognized as demanding heroic measures. It is pointed out here by M. Diremeau, French naval expert, that if Port Arthur be evac- uated after the sinking of the ships the vessels would have to be utterly ruined to prevent the Japanese raising and repairing them for their own use.

Benjamin +. Libby VS.. Sea Coast
Packing Company, Washington Coun-
ty.
Rescrlpt. Emery, ].
1t is undisputed that the plaintiff
having been in the service of the de-
fendent for two years at larger sal
AIRY was engaged to serve another full
year at a salary of $3.50 per month, but
was discharged before the expiration of
the year and was paid to the time of his
discharge and little later. This ac-
ton Is to recover his salary for the re-
naming months of the year.
There was no evidence tn TAFT was
stipulated In the contract that the
plaintffr could be discharged at any
time when the defendent was dissat-
isfied with him: but the plaintiff testi-
fed positively that there was no such
stipulation. The preponderence for the
defendant was not so great as to make
1t clear taht the jury Enthusiastically
erred In believing the plaintiff on this
issue.
There was evidence OF some mistakes
and delays by the plaintiff in the course
Of his service to the detriment Of the
defendant: but despite these, the plain
tiff may have possessed and exercised
an ordinary degree Of skill, care and
diligence. which was all he was bound
to do. This mistakes and delays re-
He'd upon as ground for dismissal were
either denied by the plaintiff or expla-
nations were offered. Whether these
alleged mistakes and delays occurred,
and whether. IL so, they showed the
plaintiff to be incompetent, careless or
slothful were questions for the jury.
Upon the whole evidence we are not
convinced that the verdict upon these
issues was Enthusiastically wrong.
There was evidence that the plain
TIN made to the defendants manager
fals statements to excuse some delays
and also that he disobeyed orders. The
plaintiff, however. stoutly denied MAX
ing any false statements. and testified
to what might be good cause for the
delay. He also denied any disobedi-
ence.' Here again the preponderance is
not 70 great as to demonstrate that
the jury had no grounds for finding for
the plaintiff on this issue.
As to damages, the plaintiff testified
directly that he was without employ
ment for the remaining months and
could not find any.
There was no evidence that he could
have found any. The jury was, there
fore, warranted in awarding the full
salary for the remaining months.
We do not say that we agree with the
Jury on all these issues. but on the
whole evidence we think we are moi
authorized to substitute our opinion FOL
theirs.
Motion overruled.
Judgment on the verdict.
