How soon are ones friends in
life ready to seize ones accumuiat-
ed wealth after death has claimed
the body!
With S. o. Chinn scarcely cold in
his grave out in an isolated plot in
the cemetery, it is becoming evil
dent that schemes are on foot by
as many schemers to get posses
sion Of the few valuable spoils of
life he left in the world.
Chinn was a noble fellow, though,
perhaps, his belief was not toler-
ated by many who would judge
him, for he was one of the |. w.

made laws-so it is said. He died
a couple of weeks ago up at the
Deaconess hospital from the effects
of weeks of starving in the city
Jail, where beliefs that may easily
be called radical and dictates of
conscience that some call absurd
tiles, lead him.
This is the man whose property
a half dozen pairs of hands are
now stretching out in eagerness to
snatch up for themselves, so they
say. Hardly have s. O. Chinn's
relatives learned of his departure
from a torurous life, than men
and women who remained away
and unheard of while this man was
suffering from sickness and in
need, come forward with tears and
mocking snifflings and claims Of
relationship, with seemingly no
other mission than to learn the
extent of his accumulations of
wealth and his estates. 1t is said
by men who were the friends of the
deceased for years and who re-
manned at his side till he died,
Chinn would be at loss to recall
the faces of these so-called rela-
tives were he to rise again from
the grave.
Oh, yes, S. O. Chinn was an l.
W. w. and he was classed with the
worthless element because OF his
associations and his strange belief,
but he was industrious and sober
and he had accumulated consider
able wealth. Among this was an
extensive claim in the upper st.
Joe river country, in the richest of
the remaining white pine belt of
Idaho. 1t is valued at thousands.

STRAHORN GIVES REVISED
PLEDGES TO UNION LABOR

Acting upon the revised pledges
of Robert E. Strahorn, president
of the mysterious North Coast
railroad, to employ union labor
throughout, in razing buildings and
preparing his road bed through the
city. the Stone Masons' union last
night adopted resolutions asking
the city council to grant the Mil
waukee and the North Coast rail-
roads franchises without the termi-
nal rate and common user clauses.
The action of the stone masons
followed close upon the making of
an affidavit by H. Dewey, business
agent of the Teamowners' union
No. 101, stating that his union
has taken action favorable to the
granting of the franchises without
the two clauses that are now caus-
ing the trouble.

SOMETHING PECULIAR
IN THIS POLICE CASE

There's something peculiar about
the case of Octavia Darling or Red
field, the girl for whose ruin Frank
Nugent is behind the bars at the
county jail.
Now an effort is being made to
change defendants, it is learned,
swap horses in the middle of the
stream, as it were, and to ring in a
single man in place of the married
man under arrest.
Whether this is a case of Damon
and Pythias on the part of the sin
gle man, to shield another man be-
cause he has wife of his own,
or whether it is some sort of an
effort to fasten one mans crime
on another. can not at this time be
figured out.

SC0RCHER

Judge Henry L. KEENAN, today
signed the findings of fact and con.
illusions of law in the Sprague ave-
nue. fill case in which he holds that
the fill collapsed because the plans
were defective and would not
stand; that said plans were pre-
pared in the office of the city en-
gineer. and that the engineer had
approved the work as it went along
and allowed estimates thereon, that
the contractors had performed their
work in accordance with the con-
tracts, wherefore, the blame and
liability rests entirely with the
city.
The written findings of the court
are even more conclusive against
the city and Engineer Ralston than
were the verbal findings first de-
livered from the bench The at
torneys for the various parties at
interest in the case will now prob
ably plead the findings of Judge
KEENAN, in all future cases.
