the case of the Portland & Seattle
Railroad company VS.. Mrs Susan L..
Warner, which has been on trial for the
past three days in the superior court,
the jury returned verdict this morn
Ing allowing Mrs. Warner $4,000 for
land taken as right of way and for
damages to her farm. The land is To-
Gated near White Salmon The case
has attracted considerable attention in
that locality.
A large number of landowners We're
called from White Salmon as witnesses
and a number of interesting tits took
place between them and the railroad
attorneys, who were disposed to ridicule
the high values placed on the land
and characterize them as boom prices.
Mrs. Warner had been offered $500
by the railroad people in settlement
of her claim. and this is the first con-
domination suit here where the verdict
exceeded the amount previously offered
in settlement. .-U ag.H 1o 552I7 <a2ar2

Blamed Without Blame
[Original.1

Everybody knows that there was
something strange about my marriage
Having recently been absOlved from q
pledge, I have concluded to tell the
story exactly as it occurred. z.7' 4291
One summer went to the country
for rest from professional cares that
had been pressing too heavily on, me
and met lady, a Mrs. Treat, whom l
supposed to be widow. We drove,
boated and sang together, drifting
along companionably, not recognizing
that love would better describe the
situation, till the summer had ended
and we We're on the eve of separation.
Then I found myself madly in love.
AS for the ladys her &C tons spoke for

nOtaa widow, but had a husband liv-
ing. Shswas Hing toeget adivorce
from him to marry me- -'as a. r \
Ishads been sbitter opponent Of d.
vorces and, being akclergyman, had
preached against them. Therefore
feltsit my duty to sacrifice myself to
principle and told Mrs. Treat that 1
could not on any account marry q d.
vorred woman. My decision seemed to
be - sad blow Do her. but she would
notsgive me up When we parted she
told me that we would yet. be happy
together. but how that could be I could
notgsee for her husband was In the
best Of health and only year older
than herself. I begged Tor an expla1ia.
ton but she would give me none.
"a Some months later on taking up q
morning paper / saw, that Laura 3.

husband, Wallace r.. Treat, on the
ground of adultery, the said Wallace

been put down by the railroad and the
sides graded up to it,. Street Supervisor
