MRS. BURNS NOW
COMP LA|NANT
~
Judge De Bolt Granted Her
Motion in the Along
Case.

Judge De Bolt yesterday decided thai
stituted as a party complainant instead
of a party defendant in the suit OF
Carrie E. Riggs ct al. VS.. Julia H
Along, even though she has signed ar
agreement to compromise, the sigma
ture to which she now claims was
fraudulently procured. c. T. Clemens
and Frank Thompson appeared for
Mrs. Burns, R. W. Breckons for Mrs
Riggs. and Mr.. Olson, of Holmes &
Stanley, for Mrs. Along.
When the suit was originally brought
Mrs. Burns was made party defend
ant. fShe has now been made a party
complainant. Olson, for Mrs. Along,
objected, saying he could prove that
she had signed the deed of compro-
mise. Thompson admitted that, but
showed that she had given notice OF
the withdrawal of her signature be-
cause of the alleged fraudulent mis-
representations made to her to secure
it. Breckons said he did not object to
the substitution if it did not affect his
clients. Judge De Bolt said in decid-
ing the motion that the court, having
jurisdiction for one purpose, would re-
tain it to do full equity to all par
ties. AS the defendants had been given
until october IA to answer, by Judge
Robinson, Judge De Bolt continued the
case until that date.
AS the case stands now, If the court
holds that Mrs. Burns may withdraw
her signature from the deed OF COM
promise, the case is just where it was
before the compromise was made, ex-
cept as to the four original parties
complainant, who, having secured by
compromise what they sought by suit.
have no further monetary interest in
the matter.
Presumably the next step will be a
plea that Mrs. Burns can not main
tain the suit because she has signed
the compromise, which will bring up
the question of the validity of the Sig
nature, and of her right to withdraw
her signature. If that is decided in
her favor then the case can go on to
a hearing on it's merits.
Tt is reported that Henry Along, who
was also left out in the settlement
made. has retained r. w. Breckons to
look after his interests, and he, too,
will probably ask to be made a party
complainant.
Judge De Bolts decision will I'M
doubtedly lengthen litigation. which
was thought to be about concluded.

The main banking room will have the
plastered ceiling replaced with steel
ceiling of artistic design and hand
some tiling will be substituted for the
wooden floor. The present counter
will be removed and in its place will
be an elaborate quarter-sawed oak
counter with marble base and sur
mounted with handsome steel grill

among the largest in Grants Pass, will
be taken out and new ones fitted IN

Da ancing and Picnic Party.

A unique little dancing party and
picnic was given by about 80 of the
Grants Pass young people Tuesday
evening. The Savage Greek ball, a
mile above Savage Rapids, had been
secured for the evening and at
O'Clock the party was launched on Its
way in the large picnic van, which
was well filled-too we'll, In fact, as
became apparent when about half the
distance had been covered, when the
seats became "wobbly" and the girls
dismounted while the boys repaired the
wagon. This being completed, the
party proceeded ON its way. On ar
irving at the hall, which was found
to be q splendid one, and the musi'
clans having arrived, dancing was at
once begun and continued until sup
per WAS served. The girls had pre-
pared a swell lunch, but some OF it
came to grief on the way, for al
though there was not much room to
spare in the wagon, there was evil

Although this was not exactly

appeared in costumes that were GER

those most noticeable were the ones
worn by Mrs. August Goettsche and
Misses Chloe Mckenzie and Ruth

description.
In returning home the young people
walked to the main road, as the road
through the woods was very dark and
not considered safe with four horses.
Armed with candles the procession
started down the hill and presented
very uncanny appearance as they

with the evenings entertainment, and

THE SIXTH STREET CROSSING.

THE SIXTH STREET CROSSING.
The conditions existing at the
Sixth Street crossing In this city are
q constant menanoe TO life and
property at all hours OF the day.
The Southern Pacific Railroad prac-
tically divides the town into two
parts and Sixth Street is the main
connection between the two parts.
This results In teams and pedestrians
being oongested at this one point.
II would not be so bad II the main
track was all there was TO contend
with, but the switching yards Of the
railroad lie right across this business
street The most aggravating thing
of all is the manner In which some
trains block the street anywhere from
five TO twenty five minutes, and men.
women and children have 10 stand In
the rain or the broiling sun, as the
case may be, and walt for long string
Of freight cars to be pulled out OF the
way. Now IL Is the city Of Grants
Pass own fault that this condition Of
affairs exists An ordinance has been
enacted to meet this matter of
blocking tho street by trains, and
the head officials of the $. Z. are
anxious that their train crews obey
the laws but the city authorities seem

of to the pound, The dignity Of
Grants Pass has been insulted and the
widow must pay for it, Or you let
some miner come In from the hills
with a three months thirst and the !
same amount Of wages in his pocket.
The combination produces results
right away and things begin to hap
pen. The law lays its heavy hand ON
him, and the City Recorder enriches
the city treasury by about s25. But
when n railroad conductor holds the
street for twenty minutes, II is a
different story. The Southern Pacific
seems to be sacred or else they have
mis- hty tender feelings. II the Mayor
wishes to make himself popular with
tho majority OF this community. lot

NOT THE DOLLAR.

In the past the dollar has been
the goal of too many Americans.
The constant struggle has been for
money. more money. The world
in the past has always asked the
questions: Have you got any
money!" never: How did yon get

Men are trying to get more out Of
life and to put more into 1t. They
are beginning TO realize that the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der Is . pretty good platform to
stand on. The hackers Of the
Standard Oil Trust and the Beef Trust
have worked on the theory of the
greatest good to the least possible
number, and they always managed it

day is going by. The man who makes
money his god is doubly punished by
the terrible effect on his children. In
the first place such children never
know what home life is. There,
home is like boarding house, where
they can get three meals day and a
place to sleep, 1t naturally follows
that they find their amusement and
companionship on the outside. and this
soon begins TO tell ON their morals

Sandwich Making Wonders.

On good journalistic authority
there is a Connecticut landlord who
is an expert sandwich maker or ham
cutter, whichever he may prefer to
be called. He says that he can, and
often has, cut meat for $50 sand
wiches from a tw~elve-pound ham. He
told the story with pride, and it was
printed in his local paper with more
pride, and reprinted in a New York
paper. with awe and admiration, yet
1t cannot be believed that this is any
extraordinary feat in ham cutting and
sandwich making.
In sorle of the Providence restat-
rants there are, cutters and trimmers
who are undoubtedly capable of max
ing up $50 sandwiches from a twelve
pound ham, and when they have done
it there Is ham enough LEFT to provide
minced ham a la gneschofptelfeld-
chen for the next days menu, to say
nothing of the bone which is general
ly worked over into ham soup for the
second day thereafter. And once
there was a church bazaar at which
the chairwoman of the supper direct
resses made 316 sandwiches from an
eleven-pound ham, and had enough
left so that she considered it worth
while to take the remnant home with
her.-Providence Journal.

The Holy Jumpers.

The death of a "Holy Jumper" by
u fall from the roof of a house on
which he is supposed to have been
dancing in religious ecstacy will serve
to remind the older generation of the
vogue this sect had about twenty-five
years ago and the sensation their
practices and beliefs created. Ac-
cording to my recollection they were
an extremely demonstrative people,
of the shouting and hand ,clapping
type, who added to these practices
the curious but not necessarily OBJ
jectionable habit Of jumping about
during their religious devotions. They
pursued a policy Of keeping all their
money in a common fund. The moral
and religious teachings Of the sect
were not in any way questionable, but
the complete absorption of its deyo-
tees led to the breaking up Of fami-
lies, and for a,time created much bit
terness. It comes like a reminis-
cence of the past to read of them az
ter this lapse of time.-Philadelphia

A Boys Memory.

A number of years back a burly
Western Kansas man gave MS
nephew, a lad CT fifteen years, an un-
merited chastising. The boy prom
ised his assailant a like compliment
when he became a man. Now you
may think the boy forgot all about
his words, uttered in the heat OF a
passion, but this wasn't that sort or
a kid. The uncle was about his duties
on the farm one day last winter when
a husky six-footer came up and gave
him a glorious humping. 1t was the
ffteen-year-old nephew, only he was
six years older. Then the uncle sued
for $1,000 for personal injuries In
ficted. An unsympathetic jury
couldn't see it that way and nc TOOK
the case to the Supreme Court. Last
week that august body handed down
a decision affirming the lower courts
decision.-Smith County (Kan.) Pho
