w. b. Henderson Returns.

Sterling City News.Record.
Quite a sensation was created
all over the country last week by
the return of w. b. Henderson,
who disappeared about Is months
ago. Mr.. Henderson did q m4r-
camille business at Stiles during
the years of 1929. During his
career IN that town, he became
involved in debt. While in debt,
others owed him many hundred
dollars which he could not collect.
He sold out his mercantile bust
ness bought live stock, which he
shipped to market and sold. Get
ting the money for this, and find
ing it impossible to pay up his in
debtedness in full, he dropped
out of sight. AS usual in such
cases his creditors became excited
and some resorted to both the
civil and criminal law to collect
their debts. Soon garnishments.
attachments, warrants and other
civil and criminal processes were
issued, and officers were securing
the country in search of both
man and property, About eight
months after he left letter came
explaining his situation. The
letter stated that he did not have
sufficient means to pay his debts
in full, but he desired that his
creditors should have all he had
provided it was divided Justly.
Soon an agent began taking up
every claim against him. Some
who had already been paid in full
put in their claims and were paid
again. So it went on until near
ly every claim had been adjusted
and paid. SO far as we can learn,
perhaps $500 would pay off his in
debtedness. After arranging all
this, he then arranged with his
attorney to come home and an
swer whatever charges against
him, and on Dec. 20, about 4
O'Clock p. m, he came home, and
wired the Reagan county officials
to come on with the papers, which
was done and Henderson prompt
ly gave bond. Sheriff Japson,
not being satisfied with the
amount of the bail, procured a
warrant and rearrested him and
took him before Judge Timmins
at San Angelo, who, after hearing
Mr.. Japson's application, ordered
llenderson's release, which was
obeyed and he is now at liberty.
Henderson says if he is permitted
he will see that no one shall lose
a cent in any deal with him. lie
also says he wishes to thank
Sheriffs Japson and Mcconnell
for their kind and considerable, as
we'll as we'll as humane treatment
which he received while in their
custody.

The CattIemen and The Railroads.

Assuredly we shall not under
take to adjudge the dispute be-
tween the cattlemen and the rail-
roads as to how the rates and SER
vice of the present compare with
those of years gone. That the
business is not so profitable to
larger cattle raisers as it was in
the halcyor days of that industry
is not denied, we believe. The
controversy is as to the cause
Of this condition. Perhaps the
railroads do get larger share of
the profits than they used to get ;
but, certainly, it is more than
clear that the greed Of the pack
ers has increased even more than
is charged against the railroads.
Another probable cause of the
low estate of the cattle industry,
and q cause which stockmen seem
reluctant to recognize, is that
business has undergone marvellous
revolutionary changes to which
they have not adjusted themselves.
Ranchlng is giving away, and
must continue to give away to
stock-farming. Instead of one
man marketing by the train-load,
the time is not far distant when
he will market by the carload
Stockraising then will not be tine
business of few men, who count
their herds by the thousands, but
Of the many who count their cat
tie by the score. Land fit for till
age Will be put to that use by the
law of right, and as mems need
of homes increases they will dis
possess the grazing steer. Per-
haps these conditions have
brought about economic changes
whose force the cattlemen do not
appreciate, and therefore, in the
blind search for the cause they
have hit OH the railroads because
it happened to be nearest at home.

TATR0 SENDS IN
HIS RESIGNATION

In letter written to the board

w. Tatro, superintendent of the
crematory, acknowledges himself
beaten and resigns. In this letter
he charges Mayor Daggett with
making falls, accusations against
him so as to get him out of the
position of superintendent of the
crematory.
He says the mayors accusations
were for no other than political
reasons. Tatro's letter reads:

The letter states in almost so
many words that Mayor Daggett
had made 1t so uncomfortable for
Tatro that he had to resign. The
letter does not state any of the
former charges made by the mayor.

with the fact that the Washington

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-10-16

The city fathers and Corporation
Counsel Geraghty have professed
heretofore to believe that the water
power company would build a
bridge of their own across the river
and the city in time would have
to pay the whole expense of a new
structure.
This craven fear, which to a dis
interested public looked like bun,
combe and subterfuge, is now laid
to rest by the offer of the Graves
people to pay for the bridge which
the bluffing water power company
threaten to leave on the city's
hands.
Now there is absolutely no ex-
cuse for voting the taxpayers
money to build that bridge for the
Washington Water Power company.
II that monopoly refuses to use the
city's bridge because it lie required
to build a new structure, In keeping
with Its franchise, then another
company stands ready to build It,
and the taxpayer is protected.
The water power company in it's
franchise agreed to put that bridge
into condition for street car pur.
poses. If that bridge could not be
made At, then, logically, they must
put one there that will be fit. This
they have refused to do, but will
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-10-16

pay for a portion of the cost.
This water power company has
not paid cent for single fran
chise granted it in this city. Those
franchises are now worth a million
at a low estimate.
Now and then they make a petty
agreement such as repairing a
bridge-and then spend months
working with only the means they
can use with the city council to
secure a cancellation of even these
small considerations.
Both companies, traction and
water power, should in future bid
for franchises. Their past agree
ments they should be forced to
keep.
The city should not vote one cent
to build the Howard street bridge.
The people should be at the city
hall tonight to see that their repre-
sentatives do their duty.
