CIRCUIT COURT WORK
Crawford Will Case Takes up
Most Time.

The circuit court calendar for this
week is not a very interesting one,
the cases all being civil, and to be
decided by the Judge. One of the
most interesting of the cases was the
Crawford will case, brought here from
Plaintield for settlement. 1t is case
that has hung fire for some time, and
one that took up quite "a little time
to bring it to settlement.
1t appears that Crawford made a
will in 1877, leaving his property
intact to his widow for her use till her
death. He died the following year
and an attempt to divide the property
brought on this suit. The suit is a
very complicated one, since it is
necessary to determine just what part
of the present property descended
from the original, and what cart has
been gained by the parties whose
interests are now being settled in
the courts. After her first husband IS
death, Mrs. Crawford married Thomas
Baker, and he is one of the principa.
litigantS. A good corps of able
attorneys had charge of each side of
the case, which was bitterly contested,

MONOPOLY AND
DEVELOPMENT

The enclosed clipping is from the
Wisconsin State Journal, Madison:
There has been some informal talk
as to the place of water powers in de-
veloping the state. The fear of mon
opOly is abroad in the land, and when
a big project came before the legiSla-
ture looking toward controlling the
hugh powers of the Wisconsin river, a
cry was raised that capital was trying
to encroach upon the rights of the
people. Originally Wisconsin dam
had reference to logging operations,
but now that logs are disappearing, a
river dam suggests water powers,
electric light plants, and other sources
of revenue.
seems towards liberal policy in the
granting Of these rights to build and
maintain dams, while the economists
away from the scene look forward
| fifty years and see how valuable these
powers will become. Wisconsin valley
wants factories and the like, and wei.
comes capital. Senator WIpperman
| of Grand Rapids, has conservatiyely
represented this desire of his people
to build up their section and bring in
new population.
Even so-called radical, like Sen
ator McGillivary, has taken the ground
that capital should be encouraged
not discouraged, and Senator Sanborn
of Ashland, who is usually right
while insisting on reservation OF
authority over waterways, pleaded
That it would be a mistake to unduly
buroen enterprises designed to use the
power of the Wisconsin and Other
rivers 1t is undoubtedly the begin
ing of discussion to grow in i'm.
portance during the years, as these
rivers become more denSely populated
and water rights more valuable. A
number of individual power rights
have been granted.

CRUEL FATE OF
MILITARY SPIES

Reports from both sides indicate
that the number of spies who have
met summary fate during the
present war in the far east has broken
all records. In it's current issue
Leslie's Weekly-whose special cor
respondents and artists in the field
have made real to the public SO many
phases of the great conflict-presents
page of photographs of the scenes
attending the execution of three
Koreans employed by the Russians to
spy on the japanese, and captured by
the latter. The disastrous defeat OF
the Russians in the Straits of Korea
is taken note of in pictures of the
commanders and the leading vessels
engaged in the remarkable naval
battle. The budget from the Orient
comprises also lively letter from
Eleanor Franklin, describing grand
garden party given by the Emperor
of Japan, the letterpress being re-en-
forced by views of the most magni-
ficent garden in the Japanese empire.
The number is made notable by the
initiation of the "newS photo prize
contest for all photographers, pro-

and the outcome is now in the hands
of Judge Webb, who has the case
under consideration.
The Closuit-Arpin case was brought
before the court early last week.
The case is one of ejectment. arising
from controversy over bit Of land,
and after being argued, was taken
under adviSement by the Judge.
The case of n. Mills against the
Elllots and others, to set aside a con-
veyance was argued before the Judge
this week, as was the case Of j. L.
Sager against F. M. Beaudreau and
| others, in regard to foreclosure of a
mortgage. There is but one more case
on the court calendar for this year,
and then the court work will be
over. There will be left then the
reading of sentence upon Ernest
Schrieber for assault, and Karatsky
for murder. This will undoubtedly
be done as soon as the court work is
| finished,

SORES OF A COPPER KING

At BiSbee myself heard man say
to Colonel Greene: 'I'm broke. Let
me have a few hundred" And the
cOlOnefS hand went into his pocket.
Again, in the same town, as the
colonel was about to board his car, a
man said to him: II want to get to
Cananea and l haven't a-cent."
Greene took out roll, tore off two of
the bills, and handed them to the
man, looking neither at the money
nor the man. But all the same the
colonel knew him. At Douglass a
man said to him: II haven't met
you before-don't you remember me?"
and ''braced" him for loan. Greene
said: Eyes. l know you, though we
haven't met for seventeen years. The
last time We met you arrested me,
charging me with taking two steers
over the border from Mexico into the
states. The judge acquitted me, and
you were the marshal or the sheriff"
Such is the marvellous memory of this
man of multitudinouS affairs. Captain
Garrett, collector of customs at
Ell PaSo, said: II first met Greene in
Kansas, thirty years ago, when we
were both buffalo hunters. No man
in his reach could want if "Bill''
Greene had the means of aIleyiating
his SufferingS. He and some pals
were once overcome in the desert by
thirst. Greene and another pushed
forward, found a water-hole, killed an
antelope, and carried water in its skin
| back to their dying comrades. He is
now fifty-four years old, and it is
doubtful if the man lives who ever did
him a favor whom he has not repaid a
thousand-fOld since prosperity has
sought him. (Gilson Wil'ets in

the perilOuS work of Steel-bridge

at West Point, and prominent figures

Corbin's paper, characterizing Uncle
Sam as the Lord of the Indies, is
accompanied by photographs of
picturesque features of the West
India Islands. Gibson Willets writes
entertainingly about Colonel Greene,
the famous copper king, at his home

financial expert, deals with the Har-
riman-Hill episode, announces that
leading investors are preparing for a
threatened storm in Wall street, and

during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary

so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is

remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by the
