of Creditors Entertain Court
Room Crowd.

There was fur and sparks in the
Superior Court room this morning
when the troubles of the First Ma
tional Bank and the Republic were
being heard.
The pyrotechnics grew out of a
motion to consolidate all the suits
against the Republic Press, made
some time ago by Lawyer Bevington
as attorney for Fowler Frank
Reeves, representing the First Ma
tionai Bank and other creditors Of
the Republic, was willing that this
motion should be granted provided
the cases went TO trial at once. Bev-
ington wanted more time for prepa-
ration, as we'll as for giving Fowler
an opportunity to market the proper
ty involved, if possible, and thus save
more from the wreck He also said
the bank interests were trying to
rush the thing through and buy in
the plant at a low figure, and save
as much as possible of the 10000

ASKED $4,000
AND COT 5000
And Now Beecher Won't Accept His
$500 Jury Award in Gib's
Ditch Case.

A 5000 award, instead of $4,000
asked for, was the jury's answer in
the case of Otis ct al against Beecher
in the Gibbs ditch case.
1t will be remembered that the
plaintiffs desired permission to go
upon the premises of Beecher. near
Peshastin, across which the Gibbs
ditch runs, and enlarge it by cutting
twelve-inch strip of land from the
the inside of each bank of the ditch.
To familiariZe the jury with the sit
uation and better enable them to as
sess the amount of DANCE which
Beecher might endure should the
condemnation proceedings be sus-
tanned and the ditch widened, the
jury was taken to Peshastin and
viewed the premises.
About one-eighth of an acre of
land will be despOiled by the enlarge
ment of the ditch. This damage was
appraised by the jury at 5000 and
that amount paid to the clerk of the
court, subject to Beecher's order.
The latter, however, has so far re-
fused to accept the money.
The case will probably not be ap-
pealed as no record was kept in the
trial court.

FIVE CENTS PERCOPY.

loan Fowler had from the bank till
the bank examiner stepped in and
made the directors reduce the loan.
Reeves replied that the only mo-
tive in urging an immediate trial was
to close up wearisome squabble that
had already been dragged out un-
duly; he said also that if the case
was put of. it would probably not be
possible to secure the attendance of
Fowler; that he would be too ill to
attend or else absent from the coun-
try. He said, too that Fowler's
scheme in getting the trial postponed
was to force the bank to keep. the Re-
public running till he could sell 1t
to good advantage.
Another bout between Bevington
and Reeves, which was an even draw,
as to the part Ira Thomas had played
in the case as an attorney for Fow-
Ter, Bevington again put his motion
consolidated, and be given additional
time.
Judge Said "NO!"
81 will over-rule the motion, and
you can fight it out in another court"
said Judge Steiner.
Bevington asked for a court re-
porter to record what he had to say.
You can hire one or write it your
SELF said Reeves.
Il hope you will not take advan-
tage of me to insert in the record
your remarks, and leave out what |
have said" replied the former.
The court then adjourned, and
later the contending attorneys stipu-
lated among themselves that the mo-
ton should be sustained, the cases
consolidated, the complaint answers
submitted as evidence, and that the
case should proceed to trial next
Tuesday.

viii Support Foreign Missionary

Will Support Foreign Missionary.
At an enthusiastic meeting last
night of the members of the Presby-
terian church and congregation il was
determined to have their own repre-
sentative upon the foreign field. 1t
was in connection with the annual
dinner and>> meeting that the matter
came up. The discussion was on as
to how the church might have its
part in the great movement to evan
gelize the world. 1t was proposed
right there and then to take up the
matter, and nearly $400 was sub
scribed within ten minutes. This
places the local church in front of all
Presbyterian churches of similar size
in the state of Washington in the
matter of evangelistic work.

City.

City Street Commissioner Sussex
will hand in his resignation to the
city council at its next meeting. This
is the statement that he has made to
members of the council and to his
friends.
The resignation, states Mr.. Sussex,
is purely on account of much private
work along the lines or architecture
and engineering, which his position
with the city prevents him from hand
ling on account of the demand for
his time. There is not and never has
been any friction existing between
him and the members of the council.
He will open anoffice in the Columbia
