CUTS DOWN JUDGMENT

MONTESANO, April 24.-In a de-
cision on a motion for a new trial
given yesterday by Judge Irwin in the
case of Henry Rush and wife against
the North Western Lumber company.
the finding Of the jury is cut down
to one.third. Judge Irwin says in
his decision that he is satisfied the
court erred in instructing the jur-
'Ors that the burden was on the de-
fense to prove that their cutting OF
timber on plaintiffs land was casual
and involuntary. and says he will
grant a new trial unless the defend
ants elect to accept damages at the
rate OF So a thousand for the tim
ber cut, basing the amount on the
testimony of Witness Wiley, who tes'
titled there was $4,000. He gives
the plaintiffs 30 days to elect.

H. P. Potter, district manager OF

the commercial organizations of Sc.

The night train will leave the Har.

In order to do this it is necessary
that these trains leave the Sound

this fact by bringing in the outside

The Real Situation

The Herald respectfully begs to
call the attention of Mayor-elect
France in particular, and the public
in general, to the existing facts in
this connection. The city must build
bridge across the Wishkah river
this year. We have it on authority
of the bridge expert that the pres
ent bridge is unsafe and apt to 60
out of commission at any time. This
is the condition confronting AbeI.
deem today. 1t is up to the people
to say on May 13, what method OF
procedure they will adopt out Of
two offered. We can go along as We
are until ~ Heron street bridge
gives out, and build q new bridge It
that point, and run an expensive fer
ry and handicap business and tradla
for six or eight months, or possibly
a year. It would be necessary t.
vote bonds for that bridge just az Il
does now for the other. This r.
quires time, which added to the time
Of construction will occupy almost Z
year. During this time, the city, ana
those having business across tho
river, will have been put to an e1-
pense nearly as great as the cost q
the bridge.
Or, we can vote the bonds now:
build at Wishkah street. and per
haps have it completed before the
present crippled bridge gives out.
When this bridge is built the city win

THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
Roads and Bridges Occupy
Attention Of Board at
Meeting Monday
THE SOUTH BAY FERRY
County c Co-operates With Rail-
road for Better Service
to Westport

At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners Monday, A. P.
Stockwell and VIM. T. Cameron ap-
peared before the board and asked
that steps be taken to improve the c.
d. Hanson road. They were advised
that the board did not feel justified
in spending any money on the road
at this time, for the reason that the
entire right of way for continual
ton of this road to Humptulips, had
not been procured.
The auditor was instructed to ad-
wise the Oregon Washington R. R. &
Navigation company, that unless i'm
mediate action is taken towards the
construction of the Melbourne over
head crossing, the county attorney
will be instructed to take such steps
as will be necessary to enforce the
agreement heretofore entered into be.
tween the railroad and the county in
connection Herewith.
A decision from the superior
court favorable to the county, in con-
nection with the letting of contract
for the improvement of the Hump
tulips -Quiniault road, the only bid sub.
mitted was opened, to-wit, that of E.
H. Adams for the sum of $2100. This
bid being considered excessive, was
rejected.
Ferry for South Bay
The county engineer was directed
to prepare plans and specifications for
the construction of 1850 feet Of pile
trestle roadway at South Bay, and
to solicit bids for the same, which are
to be opened on Monday, April 28,
at 1880 p. IA. The board considered
that an emergency exists for the COM
pletion Of this work, and are proceed
ing under chapter IS of the session
laws of 1911, which authorize con-
struction of emergency work without
advertising for bids.
The county engineer was authorized
to purchase one car load of tiling
for use in road districts / and 5.
The chairman of the board was au-
thorized to employ, in conjunction
with the sheriff, deputy game war
den, who shall also act as a road
warden, for the purpose of making
arrests of all auto drivers who ex-
ceed the speed limit while driving on
the county roads.
The auditor was directed to adver-
tise for bids for the construction of
a bridge across Black river, and also
one across the Wynooche river at the
mouth of Black creek, bids to be open

CHAMBER 0FFERS|FIND CORPSE IN
PRIZE FOR NAME WEST ABERDEEN
Decomposed Body Of Man
Found on Book Ranch
Possible Murder
DEAD SEVEN MONTHS
Greek Fued on Book Ranch
Last Fall Is Recalled
By the Find

The partly decomposed body Of a
middle-aged man, without shoes, hat
or any garments except undercloth'
ing, was found in the woods near the
Book ranch near west Aberdeen, Wed.
nesday by a member Of the railroad
repair crew. There was nothing by
which the body could be identified.
1t was that of large man. appar-
emily about 80 years old, had been
exposed to the elements for at least
seven months, and the face had been
eaten away by animals. The remains
were removed to the undertaking es-
tablishment of w. R. Whiteside, and
ordered buried by Coroner Hunter
pending an inquiry.
There were no marks indicating
foul play, but moose around the
skull in which was twisted a cedar
stick indicated possible suicide by
strangulation, or, as some think,
it may have been used as a gag
and slipped from the mouth since
death, as the face was eaten away.
The body way lying face down and
the lower part was covered with a
blue serge coat, thrown loosly over
it. Cheap yarn socks were on the
feet, but no shoes. A black alpica
shirt covered the upper portion of
the body and hat lay on the ground
nearby. Portions of a pair of over
alls, apparently new, from which the
strips used for the gag had been
torn, lay near the hat. The body ap.
pears to be that of an Italian or
Greek, as the hair is black and the
appearance of a portion of the flesh
as if the complexion of the man had
been dark.
About seven months ago there
was Greek fued between the lesees
of the Book ranch and some Greks
in the city, which ended in the burn.
ing of the big barn, filled with hay
and number of mich COWS, after
which the Greeks abandoned the
ranch.
Sheriff Matthews and Chief of Po-
lice Templeman are looking for those
Greek ranchers, in the hope of clear
ing up the mystery surrounding the
case
