ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
SELlG SAMUEL KLEINBERG

After an illness of some months,
one of the best known men in Kit
titas county, highly esteemed
citizen and an honest man, in the
person of Selig S. Kleinberg, pass
ed away in Seattle, where he has
made his home for the past few
years, Wednesday, June 10 at 100
a. M, of appendicitis.
Mr.. Weinberg came to Ellens-
burg twenty-three years ago and
opened a clothing store, which he
and his brother, Henry, conducted
up to few years ogo, when they
went to dealing in hay. Few men
i'll Kittitas county were known so
we'll and so generally honored and
respected, good natured joval, and
generous to fault. In all his
dealings he was regarded by one
and all as thoroughly reliable and
today one can heal of his departure
nothing but words of Kindness and
regret. The firm of Kleinberg
Bros. have amassed a fortune in
the past few years without a ques-
ton as to honor and integrity, and
Samuel Kleinberg goes to his grave
green in the memory of thousands
of people. Peace to his ashes. TO
the relatives of the departed The
Dawn extends sympathy in this
hour of sadness and affection.

WASHINGTON, June Ii James
NJ. Delzell, aide de camp to the

gave out statement today with
reference to Secretary Taft's speech
of last Saturday at the tomb of
Gen. Grant. How Mr.. Taft
came to think it necessary to go
back into the early career and rake
up the only fault Grant worst
enemy ever named, passed under
standing" he said. see no
necessity for it and the G.. A. X.
to put it mildly is not only amazed
but hurt. Would Mr.. Taft have
made the unsavory reference If
Gen. Grant had been alive and pres
ent that day? That is one test of
the propriety of the reference. 1t
was a bad break. In all my read
ing l do not recall a parallel to this
astounding departure from the pro-
prieties of a great occasion.

for those old time soaks who need
legislation to govern their uncon-

necrs of Kittitas valley, died at his
home in South Kittitas yesterday,
Tune II, at 4 a. III. after a long
and lingering illness, at the age OF
"a years. Mr.. Bollman was ma
tive of Pennsylvania and came to
this valley 80 years ago and has
resided here continuously ever
since. At an early date he was
sheriff of Yakima county, which at
that time included this county.
For a long time Mr.. Bollman lived
in this city, but about ten years
ago he moved into the country
where he has since resided. He
was a good neighbor and always
tried to live in peace with all men.
He never accumulated very much
of the goods of this world. He
was good provider, hard worker
and honest, the latter feature alone
being of more real value than
wealth.
He leaves besides all aged wife
three sons, Fred, Thomas and John
Bollman, and three daughters,
Miss Vida Bollman, Mrs. Clara
Graham and Mrs. Maggie Emerson
besides a host of friends to mourn
his death. The funeral took place

RAILROAD COMPROMISE LONG
STANDING SUIT WITH MINER
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, May 30.-After
years. of litigation involving all the
land used by the Santa Fe railroad as
yards, shop and station site at Bar
stow, that company has made hand
some settlement with Charles McDon-
nell and the case has been dismissed.
Years ago, before the railroad built
through the desert, Mcdonnell located
mining claim, or claims, on the land
now occupied by the yards and shops
at Barstow. Later the railroad built
through the place, and Mcdonnell lost
by fire most of the papers showing
his title to the land. He persisted in
his claim to the land and finally
brought suit against the railroad.
For several years the case has been
fought through the courts by Senator
H. M. Willis for Mcdonnell, who is
now well along in years. Rather than
carry the litigation further the rail-
road company agreed to make set
tlement, which now has been COM
pleted. 1t is understood that McDon-
nell receives several thousand dollars
in cash and other land, all of which
amounts to a fortune for the poor
miner, who can now rest easy in his
declining years.
