which propose to pay in full and also
of those which are seeking to force

resented here by 0. H. Culver, and
several of the big English companies
for which Gene G. Gould is agent.
There is an earthquake clause in the

stances will the Norwich Union be

E tn an Allie n
Out for Auditor

Ethan Allen was in town the first
of the week from ''the wilds of Wal
dron, apparently to feel of the polit-
ical pulse a little. He is grooming
himself to make run for the Office
of county auditor aud he seems to be
in prime condition. The ISLANDER
understands that he has already
made preliminary canvass of the
precincts of Orcas and Lopez islands
and that he has received very crafty
ing assurnces of support He isn't
very talk ative as to his chances on
this island but he doesn't appear to
be worrying much.

Orcas and Olga
Fairly !" In 1t !"

Orcas precinct will s'cut consider
able ice" in the next Republican
county convention if it stands pat"
with its seven delegates. East Sound
precinct has heretofore been the
domin ant factor in politics on Orcas
island, but if Orcas and Olga pre-
cincts combine in the next conven-
tion it looks very much as though
East Sound would have to Ego away
back and sit down" Two years ago
East Sound had as many delegates in
the convention as Orcas and Olga
combined, and Waldron, with only
one delegate, held the balance of
power in that commissioner district.
At the ensuing election, however,
Orcas precinct made such gain in
its Republican vote as to entitle it to
two additional delegates in the next
convention, if the apportionment is
made upon the same basis as hereto
fore, and Olga precinct gained one,
while East Sound did not make any
gain. Orcas and Olga combined will,
therefore, have two more delegates
in the convention than East Sound
and Waldron combined. Obviously
the balance of power over there is
now held by Olga precinct. With
which one Of the larger precincts
will it line up, in the matter Of the
commissionership for instance?

THUS Endeth the First Chapter Of the Story Of High
Finance Told in the Evidence and Arguments in the
C0Well-MCMillin Case.
TN the United States district court

N the United States district court
Il in Seattle last Saturday Judge
Hanford granted the injunction ask
ed for by E. V. Cowell to restrain
John S. McMillin from disposing of
stock in the Tacoma & Roche Harbor
Lime Company which he acquired by
purchase from L. r. Manning, G. P.
Masterson, Hugh G. Wallace and T.
B. Wallace until the court is able to
hear and pass upon the evidence sub
mitted in support of plain tiff's allega-
tions of fraud. 1t is contended by
Cowell that the stock in question was
purchased by McMillin with funds
properly belonging to the company,
in which, prior to such purchases,
Cowell was the largest stockholder.
The application for the appointment
of receiver was denied, the court
holding that the condition of the COM
pany, as indicated by the evidence
presented, does not warrant such
action. In giving his decision Judge
Hanford is quoted in the Post-Intell-
gencer as saying:
II believe that there is genuine con-
troversy here that cannot be determined
until final hearing. Upon the evidence
presented, the complainant is entitled to
have an injunction issued until it can be
determined whether the ST yck is owned
by McMillin or the company. In view of
the testimony I cannot vindicate Mr.. Nc
Millin as Mr.. Kerr has asked, neither can
1 condemn him until the entire facts have
been presented"
Further testimony to determine
the ownership of the stock in contro-
versy will be taken before Judge
Roger S. Green as master in chancery.
It is contended by Cowell that the
fact that McMillin had purchased
sufficient stock to give him control
of the company was concealed until a
=
short time ago, with intent to mis-
lead.
According to the Post-Intelligencer,
attorney Hughes, in closing for the
plaintiff, charged two things-that
McMillin had overreached and taken
advantage of his fellow trustees when
he had the power to do so, and that
after he had secured the power by
the purchase of a great part of the
capital stock, he had doubled his own
salary when other salaries were be-
ing cut, when the company was los
ing 81, 900 year, and further that
he had continued to receive this sal
ary after his appointment as railroad
commissioner.
''Mr. Hughes also charged that
McMillin had asked his increase Of
salary in 1895, SO that he could get
enough money to pay for the great
amount Of stock he was taking over
for the other trustees, and that he
was getting this stock to make sure
he could renew his contract to sell
barrels at an exhorbitant profit to
his own company, though it was then
losing money.
HE scored McMillin severely for

his connection with the railroad COM
mission and a private business. I
say, said Mr.. Hughes, that when he
accepted this position as railroad
commissioner he was no longer in
equity entitled to remain president
and manager of this corporation, and
he again perpetrated this wrong
when, last January, he was again
voted this $12, 900 for another year.
And McMillin got his power to con-
troll this corporation through the
purchase of stock out of the funds of
the lime company"
The Times says that Mr.. Hughes
drew attention to the fact that Mr..
McMillin had collected rebates from
the Northern Pacific, "a circum-
stance still further uniting him for
the position of .state railroad com
missioner. The Wiley charge that
Mr.. McMillin had demanded rate q
cents lower than the one accorded
the Cowells as condition for the de-
livery of part of his. traffic, Mr..
Hughes maintained, was substanti-
ated by the testimony of Joshua
Green and of E. E. Caine.
'The public disclosures of trust mis-
management and scandal, Mr.. Hughes
insisted, we're in many respects less
reprehensible than the McMillin prac-
tices, though the trust disclosures
had astounded the nation. The same
practice of using an official position
for his own material advancement
was charged against the railroad
commissioner in his adlninistra tion of
the lime company's affairs

the case last Sunday the Times says:
