Damages for DucIllng in a Ditch.

L
Exclusive of costs Of the action, ].
A. Breeding, rancher of the Selah,
must pay his neighbor, A. c. e.
Brown, the sum Of $162.73 for duck
ing the latter in an irrigation ditch,
says the Yakima Republic. Just how
the Jurors reached such an odd
amount is mystery forever locked In
their breasts, but the itemized account
shows that they discovered that Mr.
Browns doctor bill was $50, that
owing to the ducklng and the i'll ef-
fects thereof Mr.. Brown lost 800
worth of time and that the value of
the physical pain, mental anguish and
humiliation suffered was $32.73.
AS stated in the Republic yesterday
the amount of damages was the only
question for the jury to determine, a
verdict for the plaintiff being neces-
sary in view OF the testimony. The
jury delberated for nearly three hours
and the first sum suggested was $500,
then $500 and then 5000, but one or
two jurors who placed low valuation
on mental anguish, insisted on cut
ting down the bill.

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
Rock Near The Dalles That May De
Preserved for Future Interest.

There is a rock between The Dale:
Iand Seufert's cannery that some say
ought to be preserved to history fol-
the legend it bears, says The Dalles
Chronicle. 1t is in a point of rocks,
and is followed out, making the
opening perfectly round in shape
and about IS inches in size.
The legend runs that in the long
ago an Indians wife died, leaving her
husband and three small children.
The Indian children grieved for their
mother, and trying to pacify them
their father tossed some pebbles in
to the hollow in the rock, and then
gave them some pebbles so that they
might do the same thing. Every day
they came and tossed pebbles into the
basin in the rock. Ever since that
time Indians have done this same
thing so that the basin has worn from
a tiny depression until it is of its
present size.
1t is said that 1t makes no differ
ence who goes there, one always finds
pebbles in the pam" or basin, even
II one throws out those that are there,
on coming again, one finds pebbles In
the rock.

Watch Lost Eight Years.


Quite q story attaches to the fol.
lowing little advertisement which ap.
peared in the Republic yesterday and
the day before, says the Yakima Re-
public:
FOUND-In the Selah valley, a gentle
mans gold watch and chain. 1O6
First avenue north.
The watch belongs to P. A. Bounds,
Is engraved with his initials and con-
tains the words From Ella" also en-
graved In the cover. The watch is a
valuable one and was given to Mr..
Bounds by Mrs. Bounds over eight
years ago. 1t has been lying in the
sagebrush for Just eight years and is
as good as ever.
Mr.. Bounds lost the watch one
morning when with his boys, he was
rounding up cattle to drive to the
railroad station. The cattle were wild
and the Selah valley in those days was
open so that the job of rounding up
the beasts was long and arduous
one. When Mr.. Bounds reached the
station he noticed that the watch was
gone from his pocket, but knowing
how wide an extent of sagebrush
country he had Travelled over he did
not think II would be any use to make
a search for the timepiece.
The watch was found a few days
ago by lady and Notwithstanding It's
long sojourn in the sagebrush is ap-
parently in as good order as ever. II
was purchased by Mrs. Bounds for
her husband in Portland.

The new rates will put Boise and the
Yakima farmers on about an equal
footing as far as rates are concerned.
The mild winter in Idaho has had
the effect OF leaving large surplus

ductlon Of the rate to Spokane will
result in considerable mQvement
from Idaho to this market and a de-

what was expected of me, and every
body saw the joke except Tom and my
self. When it did dawn on US some
time afterward we laughed and parted

Now, as Muriel recalled with what
glibness she had ratified off this bit of
fiction. even laughing to herself over
the apparent humor of 1t, she blushed
at her duplicity.
What had been the real reason. after
all, for her falling out with Tom2 a
difference of opinion, so far as she
could remember, over the relative adj
yantages of spending ones summer in
a house boat or camping out.
She was rather unpleasantiy con-
scious that Tom had been willing to
split the difference. but that she had
argued that If they couldn't come TO a
spending their summer they very prob
ably would be equally at swords points
over the other seasons of the year
And so at her request they had broken
the engagement.
Muriel looked out at the billowy wa
ter and for a few moments was con-
scious of the speed with which the
big steamer was plunging through it.

Muriel stood by the steamer rail,
smiling goodby to group of summer
frocked girls on the wharf. Suddenly
the wind whipped one of the long white
gloves out of her hand as she was
waving a last farewell and carried it
down to the deck below. There was a
little ripple of laughter from the watch
ing girls. and Muriel. in order to escape
attention. hurried quickly into her
stateroom
1t was an unlucky omen, she argued
to herself. but quite in accordance with
the losing game she had now been
playing for three long, desolate months.
She took off her hat, arranged her
wind blown hair and studied herself
critically in the little stateroom mirror.
Il ought to be pale and interesting
looking" she said to the reflection that
looked earnestly at her. "but I'm only
disgustingly healthy"
She turned away with a sigh. and
then with quick determination opened
the door of her stateroom. placed a
chair where she could look out on the
restless water when she felt so ill
clined and began cutting the leaves of
q new magazine.
But the story selected either did not
interest her or else interested her so
personally that she soon forgot the
print before her eyes and was lost in
introspection.
Up till now, the middle of Augu t,
she was sure she had presented very
brave and cheerful front and that none
of the girls she had been visiting sus-
pected for a moment the real state of
her heart. Why had she broken it of?
That was the question she had TO an
swer everywhere. Varied as were the
reasons she gave, they were also all
more or less flippant.
"Why, you see," she explained to one
of her most intimate friends. "Tom and
l had known each other since we were
children. 1t was almost prearranged
by our families that we should marry

That Frank Gotch was not conf
dent without reason, as he said in
the story published in these columns
yesterday, was borne out by the re-
suit of his match with the Russian
Lion last night. The cable says that

leads to the superstition that he
kicked on the decision of the referee
or had some fault to find with the
way things We're going. At any rate
Gotch has demonstrated the fact that
he is a better man than the Russian,
and his name will go down in history
