John Newcomb fired point blank at
him with 30 calibre revolver yester-
day, the bullet boring into his coat d.

A pocketbook filled with greenbacks,
which he carried in an outside pocket

in Cleveland as follows:
Dear Connie-This is not touch

of them resembling animals.

to his crunching the crackers 1t did
not seem to interfere with Eddie.
He would turn over and go to sleeI
at once when through.
Had it stopped there all would have
been lovely. 1t didn't, however. and
the natural result was that the bed
was full of crumbs. This has been go
ing on for years and frequently have ]
welcomed night on the road with an
upper berth so as to escape Waddell
and his crumbs
I'm closing l would like to suggest
that if you can put a clause in Wad

crackers in bed during the season OF

will continue to be real good friends

cannot understand why progress has
been so slow.
1t has even been intmated that Mr.
Strahern would possibly be removed
from the presidency and management
of the North Coast in this state. 1t
he incorporated the company and
started to secure a right Of way for
the road. Since that time it has be-
come involved in almost endless lItl-
cation with the Northern Pacific, con-
testing points which many prominent
civil engineers say could easily be
compromised if Mr.. Strahorn showed
the slightest tendency to settle matters
amicably but. instead of displaying
this disposition. he appears to invite
litigation and controversy.
In regard to his fight with the North
ern Pacific in Yakima county, it is said
that in many instances the North Coast
route could be changed and litigation
avoided, but the president. feeling that
he has sympathy of the people, con-
tinueS to demand everything and shows
little disposition to settle matters out
of court. 1t is said that, on several
different occasions. an amicable agree
ment could have been reached out of
court, but Mr.. Strahorn would not
yield to a single proposition of the
Northern Pacific, demanding every con-
cession from them.
Many have grown Skeptical and are
asking if the road has really the nee
essary backing or if it is not playing

this sort he recently secured an is

the North Coast to this city which
provides that by April Il, 1907, the
road shall have 100 miles of road in
operation in The state.

line in the Yakima valley remains in

Attorney Ira T. Englehart, for the
Northern Pacific, said today:
Our fight with the North Coast will
be carried to the supreme court of the
United States if We get adverse deci-
SionS in the lower courts. Litigation
between the roads may possibly con-
tinue for three or four years over
points contested in Yakima valley. and
until these points are settled the North
