DOCKET is HEAVY
About 700 Gases Are Now
Pending in Circuit Court,
and Number Grows.
MANY NEW SUITS STARTED
OF 1Oi Actions Begun, 81 Are Diyor-
ces and 80 Law Suits-Need
of Change Oh Jwn.

The need of some remedy for the
congestion of the circuit court IS
shown clearly by the figures for the
May term. Yesterday was the last
day of service for the term and the
docket shows 104 new cases disposed
of, and thus there are about So more
cases awaiting trial now than there
were at the opening of the January
term. Under the present conditions it
is a rare thing for 100 cases to be dis
posed of in term and as a rule the
number is less than rs. When there
are cases to be tried that require sew
eral weeks to hear. the number is even
less. More than one case in recent
years has required over two weeks to
dispose of before the jury. and there
have been cases that took as long as
nine weeks to try.
About 200 Pending.
There are at the present time about
700 cases pending on the docket, and
the number grows at the rate of be.
tween 100 and 200 year, in spite OF
the fact that the court is in session
the greater part OF the time, and
longer in this county than in any OF
the others of the district There is
enough work now to keep two judges
busy all the time Another difficulty
lis the county's financial condition
which forces economy in the matter
of calling juries. The judges have en-
ideavored to keep the jury expense
down to the smallest possible amount
The New Cases.
Of the new cases for the May term
80 are chancery suits, and of these 81
are divorce cases, and two are for sep
arate maintenance. There are So new
law cases on the docket. OF the cases
disposed of at the last term there
were about so chancery suits and
about As law suits.

Don't Wear Everybody's
Clothes!

It takes more, than tape measure to be
merchant tailor. You can't get good clothes
without paying good price--you only get
disappointed. Nothing which is in bad taste
is in good style. and what is not expressly ere
ated for you is not apt to become you. Every
man has his own individuality and it is as dis
tinct as his thumb print--he can't match it
in ready mades--theyr everybody's clothes.

Seattle, Aug. zi.-The Seattle Star
has received a wireless message stat
ing that Purser Stevens and Wireless
operator George Eccles lost-their lives
in an effort to save passengers from
the wrecked Ohio. Four others are
reported dead, names unknown. M.
j. Heney is safe The latest reports
are that the total number of those
lost is six, though many are still
missing.
The wreck was caused by the Ohio
striking rock. She was In COM
mand of Captain John Johnson, one
OF the best known navigators OF the
north Pacific coast. The Ohio has
been sailing out OF Seattle for num-
ber of years, being one of the first
vessels TO reach Nome. On two occa-
sions she narrowly escaped being
wrecked In the ice floes in Bering sea
on initial trips to Nome. She was
one of the best vessels in the Nome
traffic and always carried full pas
senger lists. The last trip was made
to points I'm southeastern Alaska. She
carried number OF mine operators
and laborers or railroad work on the
Guggenheim roads in Alaska, their
objective point being Cordova.
Ketchikan, near which point the
ship went down, Is about midway on
the trip from Seattle to Cordova. The
news of the wreck was sent to Ketchl-
kan by wireless from the steamer
Humboldt. The steamer Rupert City
which is also equipped with United
wireless, was in the vicinity and II
Is believed that all the survivors OF
the wreck are aboard these two
steamers.
The Ohio, which then bore another
name. was the vessel In which Gen.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 27.-George
Eocles, the wireless operator, who
died in the Ohio wreck, was one OF
the most popular and efficient men
In the employ OF the United Wireless
Company. He went aboard the Ohio
April /, and was TO have been trans
ferred the previous trip in to Cordo-
va. Alaska, to handle the wireless
for the Alaska Commercial Company
He was just congratulating himself
that he was at last done with the
sea. However, other arrangements
were made, and Eccles went out on
the Ohio last Tuesday.
Eccles had been in the employ OF
the United Wireless for over a year,
formerly having been on the steamer
Portland; In charge OF the station at
Katalla. and before being transfer
red to the Ohio was the operator at
the Hotel Perry.
ofcials of the United Wireless, In
speaking OF Eeeles. said this after
noon that he was one OF the most
popular fellows In their employ. The
offioials OF the Alaska Steamship
Company have many resolutions on
record given by passengers who traV-
eled on the Ohio praising the work
of Eceles, and especially mentioning
his polite and courteous manner,
While ashore Eceles made his
home at the Palace Hotel, on First
avenue, He was about Ss years or
age.
The Ohio was a steel twin screw
vessel of 34SS tons. and was built at
Cramps shipyard in Philadelphia in
1873, The Alaska Steamship Com
pany bought her from the White Star
line in July 1908. She was s4s feet
long and 24.9 feet beam. The vessel
would accommodate IT'S frst-elass
passengers and 4SO steerage. and her
speed was 13 knots. Immediately
after her purchase she was put on
the Valdez and Nome run, for which
purpose the company bought her.
She was valued at s25O.OOO.

master OF the ship. has been on the

for ten years. but this is the first ac-
eident in which he has figured. He
is about so years old. and he has
brought two vessels around the horn.

LETTER ON HOG LAW
 FROM s. H. P|TTMAN
Urges the Farmers to Vote Against It, Gives His
 Reasons.

To the voters of Nevada County:
 wish to say to you that l think it would be to our mutual interst for us all to vote against the hog law, for it is impossible for us to make enough to feed our hogs from one year to another. As it is now we can get the benefit of the range through the spring and summer and fall and with a little feed we can make some nice meat out of our hogs. Now a word to the renter. You hav'nt any pasture or even a pen to keep your hogs in and the landlord will not furnish you a place to keep them. They cannot furnish you timber and hire you to build pen for your hogs, neither will they be inclined to furnish you and your hogs something to eat. It is a hard matter to get a merchant to furnish you and your family something to eat, much less a bunch of hogs.
 want you to study your own interest before you vote on this question. Another thing, 1 do not believe that those who live in the Incorporated town should be allowed to vote in this election. They have their laws and we farmers are not allowed to help make them either, and we are not even disposed to want to help make their laws as that is none of our business. It seems to me that the only fair ana Just way IS TOT us farmers to settle this question among ourselves. Why should a clerk in a dry goods store say whether l should let my hogs run out or not? l think this 8 fair proposition. 1 want to hear from others on this matter. Give this your best thought and be sure you dc your own think ing and do not let some one else do it for you.
 Yours against hog law,
 Sam H. Pittman.

AN OLD STOVE

When in the little city of Full ton a few weeks ago, we were shown a stove by our friend, Obe Wilson, that has been in actual service for nearly 26 years, and strange to say that it has been for that length of time in the Saloon business. This stove was bought by w. Y. Foster of Hope. who was in the Hardware business at that time, on Feb. 17th 1884. It was bought by w. E. Carter who opened up what was called the Monarch saloon l in Fulton in that same month. The stove is branded Saint Louis" and is a 36 inch stove, we'll preserved, perhaps better now than a great many much newer ones. The stove is now owned by Obe Wilson and he takes great pride in telling his friends about it's career.
 Mr. Garter who first built a fire in this stove is travelling for the Bonnie Bros. of St. Louis, and Mr. Foster who sold this wonderful stove, has long since quit the hardware business and is among the upper financial class of the state. He IS one of the leading spirits in the beautl- full little city of Hope, while Obe Wilson the present proud owner of this stove is in Fulton dealing out the leading spirits of that town.
