THE GOLDEN CAT.
Legend of the Founding of Persian
College at Mesned.

College at Mesned.
The following story from the Per.
sian manuscript of which a transla-
ton has been published under the title
''The Glory Of the Shia World" reads
Ike a passage in the Arabian
Nights" 1t tells of a Persian at
Meshed who had founded a college
with wealth gained in a remarkable
manner:
"One day rich merchant asked him
whether he was willing to work at a
place TO which he would be conducted
bl1ndfolded Being a fearless Kerma
nj and very poor, he agreed, and was
led through many streets to a court
yard, where the bandage was remov-
ed, and he was ordered to dig a hole
and bury gold coins and jewelry. This
he did for several days, and. being
searched before he left, he saw no
chance of bettering his condition.
However, one day he saw a cat.
which he killed and ripped open. He
then sewed up some money and jew,
els inside it and threw it over the
wall. After this. when his work was
done, he wandered about until he
found the cat and not only secured the
money hidden in its body, but also
learned the position of the house.
Its owner shortly afterward died
and the astute Kermant bought bis
house with the gold sewed up inside the
cat AS the merchant had never re.
vealed his secret to any one he became
his heir and, in turn, when dying, be
queathed his money for the pious tash
of founding and maintaining a col
lege."

POLICE DO GOOD WORK
Ten Crooks Are Detained in City Jail
and Then Told to Leave
City of Aberdeen

Chief of Police Templeman and his
force of policemen and plain clothes
men have been exceedingly busy dur
ing the past week, more than ten
crooks being picked up at the fair
grounds, detained in Jail over night
and given orders to leave town the
following day.
So well were the grounds policed
only one violation of the law was re-
ported, that being an attemp of pocket
picking, which the police quickly de-
tected and ordered the criminal out
of town.
Two men were caught going through
an automobile at the grounds and the
matter was reported to the police
who kept a strict watch of all cars.
Aberdeen is unusually quiet these
days as the good work of the police
force has been heralded throughout
the Northwest and criminals are Civ
ing Aberdeen a wide berth.

LARGE DAMAGES SOUGHT
The Wilson Brothers Ask $25 900
Damages for Alleged Injury to
Lands by Railway Bridge

Peter Wilson and James Wilson, the
we'll known steamboat men of Grays
Harbor, have instituted suit in the
superior court against the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Co.; the Pear
son Construction Co.; Gerrick &
Gerrick, and Grant, Smith & Co., for
damages in the sum of $25, 200 dam
ages, alleged to have been caused by
the building of the railroad bridge
over the Chehalis river.
The Wilson's are owners of lots l
and 2, block >, Original plat of Abb
erdeen, and of the abutting tideland,
viz lot ., tract Il, of Aberdeen tide
lands. and the complaint sets forth
that in the construction of the bridge
the defendants have not only encrOach-
ed upon the tidelands of the plaintiffs.
but have rendered their dock and
warehouse inaccessible, by the cree
ton of dOlphins and piers, to their
steamboats,, thus rendering the prop
erty, valued at 100000, useless.
They allege further, that the cree
ton of these piers and dOlphns on
the north side of the river, will cause
the tidelands and harbor area in
front of their property to so fill up
with deposits as to render the river
at that point unnavigable, and will
divert the waters of the river from
their natural channel. J. G. Cross is
attorney for the Wilson's.

the thriving business.
The children thronged the buildings
and enjoyed themselves despite the

w. A. Rupp, L. II. Burnett, Manager
J. +. Calder of the Fair, Marshall X,
Smell. of Tacoma, and c. G.. Chapman,
of Portland, visited the grounds. Gov,
ernor Hay delivered an address from
the balcony of the pavilion in which
he praised the fair and said that
such EXHIBITS were of excellent bene-
fit for the settlers as it got them
competing for the best stock and
agricultural products and they learn
ed what their defects We're.
In the evening, the word that fair
would close, brought out a large
crowd of merry makers and it was
late before the doors were closed and
the first annual exposition given by
Chehalis county passed into history.
Cattle Show Good
The exhibition of Chehalis county
cattle was immense. The fact that
the three herds exhibited had won
prizes in all the fairs held in the state
this year in which they were exhibit
ed, proves that Chehalis county is
at the head of the cattle raising
counties in the state. No fines herds
of Jerseys can be found anywhere in
the state than the Jersey herds of
f. l.. Brewer. J. II. Taylor; the Aver
shire herd of A. p. Stockwell or the
Hosteins of George Simpson, of
Elma
The display of horses, while not
large, was good and Judge Carlisle
awarded the prizes as he found them
Poultry Show Attracts
Many thousands of people visited
the poultry show, lingering longer in
this depaaNment, than any other, to
admire the fine specimens of the
feathered tribe Every day and night,
this show drew its quota of admirers
of fine poultry. More than 300 birds
were entered and Judge Fred A. John
son had considerable work in getting
through his duties. S. M. Kegley, of
Vesta and John Kahle, of Montesano.
were the largest individual winners.
H. l.. Green of Aberdeen, swept the
boards with his White Rocks and A.
c. Girard of Hoquiam, cleaned up
everything with his White LeghOrns.
