PLAINTIFF
GETS VERDICT
R. r. Ryan & Go. Gets Verdict
for $40 Against S.
A. Townsend

The hearing of the case Of n. r.
Ryan & Co., real estate dealers, against
s. A. Townsend, ct ux, was concluded
yesterday in Justice Of the Peace II.
II. Turner's court, after the jury had
been out for two hours. The verdict
was in favor Of the plaintiff. This is
the first case in Salem that il has ever
been necessary to try twice, because Of
the jury being unable to agree, and for
this reason attracted good deal of
attention, locally. The dispute arose
over the refusal of the defendants to
pay the sum of 500, alleged to be due
the plaintiff in part payment for the
consumation of the sale Of defendant 8
farm by them.
About a year ago, Townsend the
defendant, purchased the above named
farm from person by the name Of
Cleveland. The sale was negotiated by
Ryan q Co., at that time, so that when,
last January, Townsend decided to sell
MS ldAHif no Nthh W hNhHi
and disposed OF the farm through him.
He agreed to pay Ryan $50 for nego-
tiating the sale, and shortly after he
had sold the property paid $2l of the
amount to Ryan, but refused to pay the
remaining $50, giving as a reason that
Ryan was responsible for certain wood
supposed to have been on the farm when
the place was sold. At the time Ryan
gave Townsend notice that he would
sue him for the remaining $50, and at
once took action to recover the amount
due. At the first trial the jury failed
to agree, so that a second trial was
necessary to decide the case. This took !
place yesterday afternoon, with the
aforementioned result. Many witness
es were examined, and their examina-
tion, together with hearing the argu
ments Of the respective attorneys, con 4,
sumed the entire afternoon. The jury
returned their verdict at o'clock last
evening.

WANTED TO MARRY.
Man Was Short on Rent Money, Long
on Love.

Marshal Cornelius and Sheriff Culver
yesterday evening arrested man who
had been staying at boarding house
on Front street, on complaint of the
landlady Of the place, who said he
would not pay his room rent, nor would
he vacate his room. The mans name
was Victor Erixon, and he gave his age
as "a years.
Previous to engaging rooms on Front
street Erixon boarded at the Riverside
boarding house, on West State street.
He was compelled TO leave the place,
however, as he insisted upon making
love tot he daughter of his landlady,
His proposals were not taken very Sc.
riously at first, but, as the man still
persisted in his unwelcome attentions
upon the young lady, and, in addition,
would not pay for his board, he ordered
TO leave, whereupon he vacated his
rooms and found lodgings elsewhere.
This did not put stop toward Erixon 3
attentions toward the daughter, and his
actions finally became so peculiar that
it was thought his mind was deranged.
Erixon win be held in the city Jail
for a few days, and later an examina-
tion viii be held as to his sanity. If
he still shows signs of mental alteration
he will probably be committed TO the
asylum.

But how are we to get the honey?"
asked Joe.
You must locate and mark your
tree. Then some night your father
win cut it down for you. Bees can
not see in the night, but you will have
some dry grass and limbs ready to
make torches. and thus kill them off
with the smoke Any honey that you
find will always sell for good price
If you find a bee tree at any time in
the summer, you must wait until
about the 10th of September to cut
it. Then the bees viii have gathered

When spring came and Joe and Dan
resumed their work in the forest they
were constantly on the watch for the
bees. AS the warm weather drew on,
the insects buzzed about in plenty, and
before July came in the boys had 10

So he shook hands with the boy

While Toe and Dan were only young
boys they were of much aid to their
father ia helping to clear up the land.
They cut down the smaller trees. piled
up the limbs and brush for burning,
and when an acre or so had been clear

turmps.
That was the GOOD of most pioneer
families-corn meal and turnips, with
such wild meat as could be killed in

After the first crop had been harvest

hunter stopped at the Wilkins cabin
one day. He was going to a town fifty
miles away to spend the winter
When ne had Dartaken OF a meal

said TO Mr. wilkins.
Your boys viii be of some help to
you this winter in clearing up your

than that. I have thirty steel traps
which / wish to leave with you for two
or three months. may not come back

all about trapping. You have river

There are also coons, pOssums. wolves
and foxes to. be trapped in the forest.
The furs viii always find a buyer, and
I'm this way you viii profit far more
than If you kept the boys at work with
their axes"
1t was plain to Mr.. Wilkins that this
was so. and the old trapper remained
for a week. During this time he was
out with the boys every day. He taught
them how to set and bait d. trap for
every kind Of animal taken in~traps.
When through with the river he
showed them how to construct deadfalls
for the capture of wolves and foxes
and they had secured quite a number
Of skins before he took his departure.
