STEINER DISPOSES
Of NUMEROUS CASES
Superior Court Has Accomplished
Much Work-Present Big Dis
trict to Be Divided.

The present term of the Superior
court has disposed of an enormous
volume of business.
And yet at its adjournment this
week, there will still remain on the
docket about rs cases, unfinished.
AS Judge Steiner lately remarked,
''The people at large have but slight
conception of the immense bulk of
business which the Superior court
gets through with, because they
judge its progress solely by the num-
Der of jury cases which come to
their knowledge. The fact is that
not one civil case in twenty-five is
tried before a jury; they are becom-
ing more and more scarce every
year"
1t is expected that the plan for di-
viding the present Judicial districts
into two separate districts will great
ly lessen the burden of work. AS it
stands now Chelan, Ferry, OkanOgan,
ana douglas counties are eLl1DTdCSu
in one immense district, and with
the settlement and growth of the
country the amount of judicial busi-
ness has reached clumsy proportions,
especially when it is remembered that
upon one Judge rests the burden
of the work in the four big counties.
By the proposed division Chelan
and Douglas counties will comprise
one district to themselves, Ferry and
Okanogan making another.
Judge Steiner's term expires in an
other year, and an election will then
be held, choosing judges for the new
ly made districts.
Local aspirants already have their
lines out and some sprightly election
eering is expected when the proper
time comes.

How would you like to travel 1900
miles, understanding not one word Of
the language of the people about you

an identification tag about your
neck?
That's Johan Stankovich's story.
He arrived in Wenatchee this
morning, and wandered about the
streets until taken in charge by Con-
stable Simmons.

but that youth answered not at all
not even mo Savvy." In sheer des-
peration the puzzled constable piloted
his silent charge to the Seattle Bar,
and appealed to Martin Padoshek, the
linguistical mixologist of that famous
life saving station" Martin was
Jonnie on the Spot, and coughed up
a loop of foreign language that the
lost boy laid hold of with delight.
It was the tongue he'd been waiting
to hear ever since he boarded the
"Noordam,'' Holland-Amerika line, at
Rotterdam, and sailed away for mys-
tical America with tag about his
neck.

The noise Johan made with his
mouth didn't sound like any mans
talk the crowd in the Seattle Bar
had ever heard before. and they've
listened to several different kinds.
But as he got the yarn out of his
system, Padoshek put it into good
plain United States, and it goes like
this:
Johan Stankovich left the parental
roof in Duetchland for America, and
was placed aboard the "Noordam,"

tives, tagged and consigned to John

appears that the probable cause
for the young man taking his
own life was the possibility of
suffering another paralytic
stroke. He experienced one
about six years ago, and had
been in constant dread of anoth-
er. The night preceding the
suicide he told his brother, John,
that he feared a return of the
disease was soon to happen.
John and his wife, with whom
the dead man had made his
home had but just returned
from a fishing trip.
They had taken rifle with
them, and Charles asked to in
spect the gun upon their re-
turn. He loaded the magazine
! with several cartridges and re-
turned it. He retired about 9
o'clock Wednesday evening,
seeming rather depressed.
The next morning John arose
early, called his brother, but re-
ceiving no response, went to his;
work. Coming back for break
fast, he called his brother again.,
Again there was no response,
and John entered the sleeping
room. He was surprised and:
Mortified to see the form of his
brother lying on the bed with
the rifle still firmly grasped in
his hand. A small bullet hole
exactly in the middle of his fore
head told the sad tale. =..> r..

city was at once notified, and

LIGHTNING STRIKES
Farm House on Ole Serumgard's
Farm

During the terrific electric
storm of last Tuesday evening,
which was accompanied by awful
peals of thunder and a downpour
of rain, a bolt of lightning struck
the farm house owned by Ole
Serumgard in Minnewaukan
township and tenanted by Paul
Reslock. Though the building
did not catch fire, quite a little
damage was done.
It is almost miraculous that
Reslock, his wife and sister, who
were in the house at the time, es-
capped bodily injury, to say moth
ing of being killed outright. Miss
Reslock was stunned for quite
few minutes after the occur
renee.
The freak of the lightning is
thought to be indeed a queer one.
Entering the house through the
roof, tearing a large hole in the
shingles, it divided, six bolts en-
tering six of the eight rooms. 1t
then left the building in two
places, tearing gaping holes in
the weather boarding in it's ex,
lit.

storm of last Friday afternoon.
A hole large enough for a team
of horses to pass through was
made by the lightning in the rear
brick wall in it's entrance. Little
damage was done with this ex-
ception. Mr.. Johnson, manager
of the laundry, was but mo-
ment before in the engine room,
and had but just left the room.
Had he remained a moment long
err, he undoubtedly would have
been killed.

MILAN TOOK TIME
He Had His Nerve With Him How.
ever

Pete Milan and Mike Straken,
two laborers employed at odd
jobs about the city, Sunday af-
ternoon, became real friendly
over the consumption of a bot
tie of the frey fluid. Together
they entered the field south of
the railroad tracks, and finding
a grassy spot, succombed to the
beckonings of Morpheus, and
their excessive rotations. While
Michael slept the more wakeful,
Peter skillfully extracted his
companions pocket book and
watch, taking a matter of $3.50
of the currency of the realm. He
returned the empty pocket book,
and then waking his companion
asked him if he did not want an
other drink. On being assured
by Mike that he did not wish to
imbibe further, he decannped,
Straken, soon after arousing,
felt for his pocket book. On as
pertaining that it was empty and
also that his time piece was miss
ing, he reported the matter to
Chief Hurst, naming his erst-
while companion as being guilty
of the theft. Milan was rounded
Iup and taken to the "hold over, y
where he reposed during the
night. Monday morning he was
taken before Magistrate DUEL,
where, upon pleading guilty to
the charge of petty larceny, he
| was sentenced to thirty days at
hard labor in the county Jail.

APPROXIMATE Ceremonies tl 9 IN Honor 70 a! O.

Last Thursday evening oc-
Cured the corner stone laying
of Bethany chapel, six and one
half miles northwest of the city.
The evening was a most inau-
spicuous one, as the preceding
rain kept number from the
city from attending. Then, too,
the weather conditions at the
time when the ceremonies were
to begin looked anything but ia
vorable. Despite this fact, how
ever, an audience Of perhaps
one hundred and fifty were pres
ent, being from the city and sur
rounding country.
The ceremonies were conduct
ed by the Rev. T. E. Olsen, pas
tor of the Methodist church OF
this city, assisted by Rev. c. r.
Stinson of Edmore, and presid-
ing Elder of the Minot district.
The ritual of the Methodist Epis-
copal church was read, and pray
err offered. The corner stone
contained a copy Of the Inter
Ocean, The Daily Journal, the
New Testament, the NJ E Cate
chism, Practitioners Handbook,
minutes of the North Dakota
conference, a Chautauqua pro-
gram, and the pastors Invitation
card, a handful advertising the
occasion and a brief historical
sketch of Bethany chapel.

1pleted during the month OF Au-
gust, will be a neat frame struc-

greatest attention, and frequent
ly interrupted by applause,
twelve delegates were selected
by the convention to represent
the body in the National Con-
vention, which is to be held in
St. Louis during the coming
October.
Several rich farmers from
different sections of the state
volunteered to advance enough
money to meet the present in

The committee appointed by the
chair to draw up a set of resolu-
lions reported, and the resolu-
tions were acted upon. A reso-
luton denourcing the depart
ment of agriculture for sending
out monthly crop reports was
offered It was contended that
this practice gave the specula-
tor chance to make transactions
which are detrimental to the
grain growers. The resolution
disfavored cooperative stores
and urged the use of union
labels on all outgoing products.
