A New York lawyer has been compelled
to abandon an accident suit against the
marlborough Street Railway company upon
the discovery that his client, the plaintiff,
is woman and not a man, as he had
believed her to be for more than three
years. To add 20 the attorneys perplexi-
ties, his strange client has disappeared.
In January, 1903, friend asked the law
yer to take up the case of Gus Seib, who
had been injured by falling from Fifty
ninth street cross-town car. The client
came to the attorneys Office and related
"his" story.
She gave the name of Gus Seib, and
there was nothing in her appearance that
suggested the feminine sex, unless 1t was
her unusually large brown eyes. She was
dressed neatly in a black sack suit and
her hair was cropped close to her head.
The lawyer began suit for 5000. The client
was working as a waiter in a restaurant.
When told that the case would soon be
brought to trial she objected and said
she wanted II settled out of court, but she
wanted more money than the company
cared to give.
The lawyer engaged a physician 80 that
testimony could be offered of the injuries
caused by the accident. The physician
discovered the woman's sex, and when told
that she must submit to a physical exami-

In the matter of the purchase
a County Poor Farm

| This matter coming on TO

of the same finds: that it woule
be to the best interest of all con-
cerned that the county poor be
kept at some convenient place
within few miles of the City O.
Corvallis, thereby enabling the
court to at all times be in touch
with the care and treatment ot
said poor.
That in all probability land
can be purchased at as low a fig
ure today as at any future time;
that it would be to the best in
terests of the county, as we'll as
the said poor, that the county
purchase a suitable tract of land
so located as to be convenient to
Corvallis and suitable for said
purposes, and erect or cause to be
erected suitable buildings for the
proper care of its poor.
That it would not be to the
best interest of said county to
hire superintendent ofsaid farm
or to furnish said farm with any
tools or machinery of any kind,
or to furnish said buildings with
furniture of any kind whatso-
ever, but after having provided
said farm with the necessary
buildings for the proper care of
the inmates thereof, that the
court let by bid the rental
