James |. Murray and Frederick J.
Schonard own real estate in the Vi
cinity Of Plum Station. The latter
took it into his head to cause the
arrest of his neighbor, Murray. be-
cause he was not maintaining legal
fence. The case was tried before
Justice Giles and jury resulting in
the acquittal of the defendant, who
says SchOnard last year depaStured
his land with his horses and cattle,
for which Murray proposes to bring
a civil anton. The sooner these

instances.
The Washington Knitting factory
ia local industry which has begun
with an almost guaranty of success
has started up in building on the
southeast corner of Adams and Third
streets, with few machines and
about half dozen operators, most of
whom are skilled workmen, who will
soon as the additional machinery ar
rives be employed as instructors OF
those who will constitute the perma-
nent operatives of the factory. The
machines are barely enough for max
ing start and demonstrating the
quality of the work, which is truly
tirst-class. Mr.. Meyer seems to be
inst the man to ensure success for
the venture, as he combines laudable
ambition and industry with a
thorough knowledge of the business,
in all its details.
Not long ago, some comment was
made about an Eastside widow lady,
who gathered the eatables and
crumbs left by the children at
tending one of the public schools,
for the purpose of feeding her
chickens. Did not this lady act
as a public benefactress? 1t is no.
ticable about school houses and side
walks in that vicinity rats are num-
erOus. PROFESSIONALLY a large pro-
portion of these rodents were at
tracted to the locality by reason of
the presence of the discarded food
from lunch baskets. Was it not
preferable that the chickens should
have this refuse food rather than the
rats should gather and scatter dis
ease germs among the pupils? Again.
the widow was engaged in legiti-
mate undertaking in raising fowls
and accommodating eggs. She may
need the money they would sell for
with which to pay her taxes, or
street assessments, especially if the
SwantOwn fill shall be made. Doubt
less the time has not arrived in
Olympia when frugality practiced by
widows is a sin.
In certain localities there are hold
ers of valuable lots, who execute
deeds to purchasers imposing upon
them obligations to keep the prem
ises conveyed in Il certain condition,
such as the erection thereon of build
ings of a certain character and value,
and also sidewalks of a particular d.
mensiOn and quality of material to be
used in the construction. These
stipulatiOns usually are made Obliga-
tory not only upon the purchasers
themselves. but their heirs. legal rep
resentatives as well, which lawyers
claim run with the land being upon
all subsequent purchasers and own
erS. There are numerous instances
in the larger cities of Washington in
which these stipulations are looked
upon with disfavOr, causing many
anticipated sales to fall through. A
citizen of Olympia mentioning this
matter few days ago, remarked
that he would hesitate about buying
real estate with such provisions in
his deed of purchase. for fear il
might embarass him in selling it at
forwards, even if he considered such
stipulatiOaS reasonable as far as he
may be personally concerned. an
other party might not want to ac-
cept title with string attached to
it, At first these titles were accept
