Verdict for Beck

The trial of the Beck-Day case was
concluded in the superior court last
Saturday and after several hours de-
liberation the jury, late in the even
ing, returned a verdict for Beck,
giving him possession Of the farm
and crops. No mention was made in
the verdict of the live stock and
other personal property involved,
although it was all included in the
writ of restitution upon which the
suit was brought. The verdict was
a surprise to most people who heard
the evidence, and most of the neigh
bors familiar to some extent with the
family row seemed to favor the Day
side of the case. Beck was repre-
sented by J. E. McGrew, of Seattle, and
Day by Dudley G. Wooten, also OF
Seattle. The jurors were L. P. Dor
viller, Jos. Iotte, Warren Dightman,
J. E. Bruins, Fred H. McMillin, Chas.
Peterson, V. G. Doyle, c. H. Still
man, J. Hulsman and NJ Norman.

Two Teachers Elected

At a meeting of the directors of
the Friday Harbor school district
held Monday evening, Prof. Joubert
was formerally reelected principal
for the ensuing year and Miss Clauson
was reelected as teacher of the pri-
mary department, both at increased
salaries. No selection for the inter-
mediate department has yet been
made. The directors unanimously
commended the work of all the teach
ers during the past year and extend
ed to Miss Sweeney their best wishes
for her success as county super
intendent. An arrangement ha s
been entered into with Mr.. Joubert
by which he will attend the univers-
sity summer school of biology and
will make and preserve for the Fri
day Harbor school as large a col
lection as he can of various forms OF
marine animal and vegetable life.
Teachers are coming here from year
to year from various educational in
stitutions throughout the state and
others for scientific research in the
field of marine biology and the dl-
rectors here feel that they ought to
take advantage Of the splendid op-
portunity afforded to secure q valu-
able collection for the Friday Harbor
school, which can now be done at
small expense.

taking a short rest at the Catholic recto-y
here, preached this morning in the Catholic
church and was greeted by a large attend,

this section. The cardinal read the opening
verses of the eighth chapter of Luke, con-
tanning the story of the feeding of the 1000.
which was the text, and then said. in part:

in their reward: for you have come here

pies entered into city and they did not
receive Him He importuned by His
disciples to call down fire from heaven and
destroy them but He turned and rebuffed
them, saying: You know not of what spirit
you are The Son of Man came not to de-
stroy souls. but to save
