B|ERCE GIVEN
s28,156 VERDICT
Jury in the Long Trial Brought
in Their Decision Late
Last Night.

After trial lasting two weeks, the
jury in the Bierce case brought in a
verdict at GAS o'clock last night in
favor of the plaintiff for $2S, 1854, the
full amount asked for.
The entire day was spent in argu-
ment and the case was given to the
jury at $50 p. m. Three hours and a
quarter later the jury, by it's foreman,
J. F. Soper, returned its verdict. The
defense gave notice of a motion for a
new trial.
The suit was on a replevin bond
given in 1903 to secure the return of
a railroad furnished and equipped by
the plaintiffs for the Kona plantation.
When Kona plantation was sold at
receivers sale, w. w. Bierce & Co.
gave notice of their claim and took
measures to enforce what they claim
ed were their rights. Eventually a
replevin suit was brought and a bond
was given by c. J. Hutchins, as trus-
tee, with Henry Waterhouse and A.
B. Wood as sureties, conditioned for
the return of the road to w. w. Bierce
Company if they should be adjudged
the owners. The bond was in the penal
sum of $50, 900. Judge De Bolt decided

reversed him. Meanwhile the amend
ment in the Organic Act was secured
permitting appeals to the Supreme
Court of the United States in cases
where more than $4,000 We're involved.
This was one of the cases. The Su-
preme Court of the United States re-
versed the Supreme Court of the Ter
ritory. making the Bierce Company
victorious in the replevin suit. There

LEWIS SENIOR AND
KING WILL DRIVE

Unusual interest is being taken in
the automobile speed contest to take
place this afternoon on the Kapiolani
track between the "25''s Franklin from
the Stockyards garage, to be driven
by E. H. Lewis, and the Behn's Tour
ist from the Associated garage, to be
driven by Melvin c. King. The race
will be for five miles and will start
promptly. at four o'clock. The novelty
of the match, locally, will undoubted-
ly attract a large number of automo-
bilists and others to Kapiolani to
watch the machines perform and ap-
plaud the drivers.
The drivers are not those originally
selected to engage in the race. It had
been expected that Henry Lewis, the
boy chauffeur, would be at the wheel
of the Franklin, but a cranking acci-
dent yesterday, which resulted in a
broken arm, has put him hopelessly
out of the running. Gus Schoening,
too, was to have been the mahout for
the Associated entry, but yesterday
of pilot to King.
1t as not expected that any track
records will be broken today, but both
drivers can be depended upon to send
their machines over the course for all
the speed they can coax out of them,
and the affair will be exciting enough
for the drivers as well as the many
expected spectators.

Instructive Address of the
American Consul
Yesterday.

There was large attendance at the
special meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce called yesterday afternoon
to hear an address by T. Wilbur

is on his way to Washington on leave
of absence from his post, and was a
through passenger by the Manchuria.
He has been for nineteen years in the
Orient, and speaks the Chinese lam
guage fiuently, being considered the
finest Chinese scholar in the American
Consular service.
Mr.. Gracey was introduced yesterday
by E. D. Tenney, who said that he
acted in the absence of President
Morgan, on the coast and of vice
president J. P. Cooke, on Maui.
The address by Mr.. Gracey. he said,
was the first one in what it was
hoped would be series of similar ones

FIREBUG At WORK
ALONG IW|LEI ROAD

The third fire of mysterious origin
to occur either on or very close to the
premises of Blanche Martin, in IwileI,
broke out Thursday night about eleven
o'clock. The fire was discovered be-
fore it had gained much headway and
was put out without any alarm being
turned in. This time the blaze was in
stable across the narrow road from
the Martin domicile: the first time it
was in the house itself and on the
second occasion a building in the rear
of the house was ablaZe. Each fire
appeared to be of incendiary origin and
considering that all three have occur
red within a few weeks the Martins
fear that some enemy has designs on
their safety. The police are investi-
eating There is no insurance on any
of the buildings or contents, so far as
can be learned.

HUNGRY PORTLAND
David Taylor Tells of the Winter of
1852, When Provisions Were
Hard to Secure.

One of the most interesting charac-
ters among the pioneers who are in
Portland for the annual reunion ia
Dave Taylor, of Athena, who came to
Oregon Sc years ago, arriving in Port
land in 1859. says the Portland Jour
nal. Mr.. Taylor was at that time
boy of IL years of age and now at
nearly three score and 10 he retains his
youthful appearance and his early
vigor.
Perhaps no man in the northwest is
better qualified to tell of its growth.
Mr.. Taylor has been over most of the
trails from California to Montana. and
his life has been filed with exciting
experiences. He was in reminiscent
mood this morning and told of bis first
sight of Portland after the long trip
across the plains. He said:
sit will be just 56 years ago Octo-
Der 10, since first saw Portland. At
that time the city consisted of two or
three log cabins on Water street. Ok
teams were the streetcars thec. and
the streets we've rude trails out by the
first conner to the Columbia river.
"We had a mighty hard fight to get
enough to eat that winter. Freight
was packed TO The Dalles on the prairie
schooners and pack trains and shipped
down the river on fiat boats, and these
boats were few and far between.
There was no flour and potatoes we're
So bushel. Bacon was almost out of
reach, and hay was $40 ton.
II saw on the streets the wagon in
which Ezra Meeker says be crossed the
plains In 1862. It's all fake. We
didn't use such style of vehicle at all
in those days. The wagon we did use
was much the same as those in use
now. A square 20-inoh bed was Gov
cred with false bottom of boards and
on top of this was carried the bedding.
Between the two bottoms we stored
meat. flour, and other supplies and
when we wished to get at the store we
simply removed board and reached
for what we wanted. When the sup
plies were exhausted we used the boards
in making graves for the dead.
That year of '52 fraught with i'll
luck for the wagon trains. Cholera
was the scourge which deoimated the
ranks of the home-seekers. We had
an easy trail to follow, fol it was
marked by graves. Day after day
We would pass newly made graves at
every step of the journey. l lost my
