CAN'T RECOVER FOR THEFT
Shipper Loses 1920 In Dispute Over
$50 Freight Charge.

Olympia, Wash, April 19.-The
state supreme court has decided that
$50 cash and 10 old copies of Ev-
erybody's Magazines are all that
Maurice Windmiller can recover
from the Northern Pacific for 1920
worth of furs shipped by him to New
York and stolen en- route.
The furs were part of a $4,000
shipment from Seattle. Windmiller
objected to paying the $40 full liza
bility freight first demanded, and
finally agreed to pay $5.05 freight
and release the shipment to a value
of 81 per pound. When the freight
reached the destination, it was dis
covered the box had been broken
open, furs taken out and replaced
with the copies of the magazine. The
court holds that the shipper having
deliberately signed the release can
recover only at the rate of 81
pound for the goods stolen.

PLACER MINING AT BLEWETT
Seattle Parties Have Purchased Ground and
viii Commence Work at Once

Major B. A. Caldwell, of Seattle, and
his associates recently closed a deal
with M. F. Peake & Son for several
gold placer claims near Blewett and
will at once go to work on their prop
erty. The senior member of the firm,
M. F. Peake, located a number of
claims last summer and did consider
able work on them. That his work
was not in vain was repeatedly proven
by the gold he brought down with him,
mention of which was repeatedly made
in The Echo at the time.
Major Caldwell arrived here the first
of this week, bringing with him an ex-
perienced miner, Mr.. Kile, and en-
ployed a cook and some eight or ten
men who will at once begin work on
the property. There is ample water
for mining and it is probable that the
ground will be worked by the hydraulic
process.
Two wagon loads of supplies and a
camping outfit was purchased from our
local merchants and started for the
scene of operation this week. Major
Cardwell is an old mining man, with
many years of experience in both placer
and quartz mining. He has thoroughly
prospected the Peake claims and is
satisfied he has a good thing. A crew
of eight or ten men will be put to work
at once but it is contemplated to in
crease this number to twenty or twenty
five in a short time.
There are other mining deals in
relation to Blewett property which have
not yet been closed but which will
likely go thru. Blewett may be very
active mining camp this summer.

The Minstrel Performance Tonight

The baseball benefit to be given by
number of the young men of the
town in the opera house has taken the
shape of a minstrel performance. Am
ateur performances do not always ap-
peal strongly to the artistic sense of the
critical. Whatever this one may lack
in real artistic merit, and we are as
sured that it is not entirely lacking in
real merit, should be overlooked when
the object for which it is gotten up is
remembered. Leavenworth has an ex-
cellent ball club. Perhaps there are
few stronger non-professional teams in
central Washington. The natio ma
game deserves to be encouraged by
all who believe in outdoor sports. By
attending the minstrel performance to-
night you will be contributing to the
promotion OF Leavenworth's ball team.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-04-23

capital is in a state of fear and no
resistance is looked for.
To complicate the situation, an
uprising is in progress in Asia Minor
in which more than 1000 people
have been slain, among them two
missionaries, and untold property
damage has been done.
Foreigners and many Christians
have taken refuge in the consulates
The local troops and the governor
are doing their best to protect the
town, but there is great fear that
it cannot hold out much longer
against the invasion of the Moslems,
who are sweeping down in large
numbers.
A British warship is proceeding
to Alexandretta, which is threaten
ed by the Moslems. Several Armen-
ian farms in that neighborhood have
been destroyed.

Constantinople, April 19.-The
most serious crisis in the history of
the Turkish Empire is thought to
be at hand. 1t is persistently ru-
mored that Abdul Hamid, forced by
the uprising against the tyranny of
the party in power, will abdicate the
throne.
