for advice as to what could be done
to keep them out. The neighbog r.

"Bears are fond Of molasses, Yos
Just make a trough and al it with
moEasses and rum and put 1t where
they come into your field, and they
Will drink it for the sake of the mo-

even the beautiful broadcloth comes

The sweet simplicity of their ma

necessity Of fashion books. Young
girls who are about to be married
need take no thought as to "where-
withal shall they be clothed" When
they array themselves in the we'd
ding garments Of their ancestor, two
or even three generations remote,
they are perfectly up to date in the
matter of attire.
This simple life is conducive to a
state of high morals, higher proba-

manufactured on the island, and for
the $4,000 population there is but
one policeman. There is neither a
jail nor any place Of Incarceration
for criminals, nor yet is there a
court in which a high crime could be

The percentage Of crime is so
small that it does not warrant the

Some Exciting Incidents of this Fisrc,
Naval Engagement.
In the year 1921 the British ad,

battle of Navarino, in which the
English, French and Russian ships
entered the haTbor Of Nayarino, In
Greece, and annihilated the Turkish
and Egyptian vessels, which were
unable ia leave their moorings. The
battle lasted four hours. Admiral
Qmanney tells this of Sir Edward
CodringtOn, the admiral in com
mand; "His escapes from death
we're marvellous. So that he might
command a good view of the battle
he stood on the poop of the Asia,
the most exposed part of the ship.
he was talking with the master
when shot came and killed the lat
ter at his side. A shot killed an Of
fcer of marines who was on the
quarter deck just below the poop.
The admiral left the poop only once
to go forward to talk to the boat
swain, and while talking to him the
bostsweiD also was killed at bis side,
ga bullet went through his hat,
in which it made two holes, and an.
other bullet went through his loose
coat sleeve. Another bullet smashed
his gold watch. When on the poop
he stopped his head under rolled
awning, and while bent like that
u shot passed through the awnings

ASSUMING RISK NO DEFENSE.
Supreme Court by Bare Majority so
Decides to T.

That the doctrine of assuming risk is
not available as defense in a suit to re-
cover for personal injuries where the
defendant has failed to comply with the
factory inspection law of 1903, is main.
tanned by an opinion signed by four JUS
tees Of the supreme court last week.
The opinion is re.affirmation of the
principles laid down by the supreme
court in the case Of Green vs.. Weste ri
American company, 30 Wash. 81. In the
earlier case the four justices who signed
the majority opinion filed last week were
on the bench. The three newer Justices,
Root, Grow and Rudkin. dissent in a
lengthy opinion.
The opinion was filed in the case of r.
B. Hall, respondent, We. West 4 Slade
Mill company, appellant. While EN-.
ployed in the mill, Halls clothing was
caught in set screw in revolving
shaft and he was dragged into the ma
chinery and crushed and crippled for
life. In his action for damages lie &C.
knowledged that he knew of the exist.
ence of the set screw and that if caught
his clothing would likely be injured. He
claimed that while at work he temper
arily forgot about the screw.
Under the rulings adopted by the su-
preme court prior to the passage of the
factory inspection law, this testimony
would have justified dismissal of the
action on the ground that the plaintiff
had assumed the risk OF working near
dangerous machinery. The factory in.
spection law, however, requires that such
machinery shall he safeguarded, and this
the company neglected to do, and the
defense Of assumption OF risk was not
available to it. Hall secured IA judgment
in the lower court tor $1,000, which is
affirmed by the supreme court.

SAME OLD TRICK.

The Evening Bonbon has adopted the
tactics advised by the old lawyer when
asked BY his student what he should dc
in defending defenseless case. "1gnore
the case at bar, my boy" said Oily Gam
mon, land abuse the opposite counsel,
you can't hur: your case, and may divert
the attention Of the jury"
The Evening Box Of Hand Rolled
Chocolates, having absolutely no excu-e
for its scurrious abuse OF commercial
travellers, is now making desperate
effort to divert the attention OF an in.
dignant public by abuse Of the HERALD.
The old lawyers tactics only acted as all
insult to the intelligence OF the jury, and
the student lost his case, and the method
of our neighbor is similarly regarded by
its readers.
So accustomed is our contemporary to
taking columns of news, that it is but
natural it should suspect this paper OF
the same kind OF work in the matter of
that drummer's communication. AZ
usual, the evening paper is in error, and
as proof of that error, we are ready te
show the editor the original manuscript
with the name of the writer, who is moi
ashamed Of his effusion, but did not care
for notoriety by the publication OF his
name.

WHY NOT TRIED?

While the city council is on the SUBJ
ject OF the removal of shacks, it would be
we'll to finish present litigation before
rushing into more cases of a similar
kind. The case OF the Veysey Market
street building has been in the superior
court for more than year, and just why
it is not pushed to trial is one Of those
things no fellow can find out.
Mr.. Veysey's contention in this case is
that he had began the erection of his
building prior to the enactment OF the fire
limit ordinance. Several shack owners
who have been notified to remove will
put up the same defense, and good bust
ness would dictate the settlement Of that
point in one suit at law than paying the
expense OF several.

DROWNED IN ELLIOTT'S SLOUGH.
Mrs. Leonard SChwab Drowned While
FISHING at Noon Yesterday.


Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard Schwah went to
Elliott's slough yesterday morning to
spend the day fishing. and about noon,
while crossi ing the slough on Loose logs,
Mrs. Schwab was drowned.
The slough is used as storage log
boom, and is a favorite fishing ground,
and crossing from side to side on the logs
is quite common occurrence. In cross.
ing yesterday, M. and Mrs. Schwa
were on a log about four feet in diameter.
which they tried to ewing around to cover
gap of about 20 feet between the logs.
In SO doing the log began to turn over
throwing them both into the water.
When Mr.. Schwab returned to the sur
face he was dazed, and could not see his
wife anywhere. Several fishing parties
were close by and some saw the occur
renee, but were not near enough to rem
der assistance in time to save the unfor'
tunate young lady. The body was recov'
cred in few hours, being found near the
epot where she went down.
Mrs. Schwab was daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. T. Vanucie, 10 years Of age
and was married July 20, 1904. She had
lived in Aberdeen since she was three
years Of age, and was extremely popular
with her young friends. The funeral ar
rangements have not yet been completed.
