Webster City, April 3.-More litiga-
lion between the veach cousins is in
sight. A petition has been fled with
the clerk of the district court. in which
W. III. Veach as administrator for the
estate of Ruth j. Veach asks of John
I. veach the sum of $4,000 as damages.
The petition alleges that the defend
ant made promises TO Mrs. Veach
which were never fulfilled. Veach in
duced Mrs. Ruth Veach to go back TO
Illinois and get her mother, Susan
Carr. to sign note for 5000. In lieu
of this he was to pay all her expen-
ses to Illinois and help her raise a
mortgage of $4,000 on the homestead
occupied by herself and husband in
this county. There was to be nothing
done regarding the foreclosing of the
mortgage which would cause Mrs.
in any way. After he had obtained
the signature it is alleged that he
failed TO do as he agreed and instead
caused a writ to be served on her for
the foreclosing of the mortgage when
she was sick in bed and unable to sit
up This made her condition much
worse. and she now claims damages to
the amount of $4,000. The case will
come up in the April term of the dis
trict court.
This case grows out ,of one between
John l. Veach and w. H. Veach,

A PLEASANT BIRTHDAY.
Judge Anderson Treated to a Birthday
Surprise Party-Many Presents.

Last night our worthy city auditor
and police Judge received the surprise
of his life. About 40 of his friends took
his home by storm and reminded him
that it was his birthday. With the
connivanee of Mrs. Anderson the sur
prise was made complete and it was some
little while before the judge recovered
himself. After a pleasant season OF
congratulations and fluctuations all as
semblel and sat down to an elegant
repast prepared secretly by the invaders,
Several beautiful and costly presents
were made to the happy recipient and
he will surely remember this birthday.
Before the party dispersed many re-
membered that the judge had sentenced
several of our worthy and unworthy
citizens and that it would be but JUS
tiee to give him a dose of his own
medicine. Accordingly, he was placed
on trial and after thorough investiga-
tion into his present and past actions he
was found guilty by jury OF his
friends. 1t having been figured up that
the total length of time to which he
had sentenced others, figuring out the
Imprisonment at rate of So per day,
was 40 years I months and l6 days. he
was sentenced to live for so additional
years and it was recommended that he
receive no credit marks that would cut
short the time of his sentence. Judge
Anderson is about on his own recogniz
ancs.

SECURING EASTERN
LOGCERS
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DOES
GOOD WORK FOR MILL MEN OF
THIS DISTRICT AND MAY SETTLE
DEARTH OF GOOD MEN IN CAMP.

From letters received by the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce it would appear
that this energetic body has solved the
question OF a shortage of labor in the
logging and lumber camps of the west
From an advertisement placed in eastern
newspapers very recently, answers are
being received from men who have work
ed for years in eastern camps. who are
anxious to come west.
With the exception of eastern labor
bureaus, which 60 more after the dollar
than in an effect to please those who
apply for positions, there has been no
systematic attempt to secure eastern
labor for the logging business in the
Eest. The following sample of letters
received by Secretary White, yesterday
indicate that plenty of good labor can
be secured:

Letters of this description sound like
business and the writer would probably
make valuable acquisition to logging
camp company compared to the vagrant
style of logger. With the opening of the
logging camps this feature of the work OF
the Chamber of Commerce will prove of
great assistance to mill men.
