Decides In Favor of swenson.

Judge Belt yesterday decided the
case Of the Southern Pacific railroad
company, appellant, VS.. Swanson, re-
spondent, involving liability for stock
killed on the railroad company's prop
erty, released by the railroad COM
mission from compliance with the leg,
islative providing for the fencing OF
land along the right of way, in Swan
sons favor. The judge held that the
release by the railroad commission
from complying with the requirements
Of the law did not release the com
pany from the responsibility Of pay
ment for livestock killed upon the
right of way, as provided in the legis-
lative act of 1887. Inasmuch as Cir
suit Judge Bagley of the state OF
Washington has held to the contrary
it is believed that the case will be ap-
pealed TO the supreme court.

whooping cough and colds cut attend
ance one-fourth to one-half and the
work Of the classes had been greatly

Wednesday evening that it would be
best to close the schools for a time.
During the vacation the teachers will
visit grade schools in other places.
That the action has been consider

gained possession of the curiosity and
it is now in the possession of his son.
Mr.. Shipley is undecided as to what
disposition he will make of the valued
implement. He says the Smithsonian
Institute has informed him that there
are people in the United States who
would gladly travel across the conti-
nent to gain possession of the spear
head. He has, accordingly, deposited
it in the vault of one of the Sheridan
banks.
The spearhead itself is pear-shaped,
measures one and half inches in
width and is five inches long; its
shaft is about the size of lead PEN
Gil and is five inches in length.
Tempered copper represents one of
the lost arts, hence the interest evinc-
ed by scientists in the spearhead.

GYM CLASSES EXPAND
FOUR NIGHTS EACH WEEK NOW
BELIEVED NECESSARY.
Company L Members Tuesday Night
Granted Use of Armory to Bus
mess Mems Organization.

Four instead of two nights in the
armory each week will be used by the
Dallas Gymnasium association. This
was decided at the meeting of the
association in the library building
Monday night and the request of the
association for two additional nights
was granted Tuesday evening by the
members of company L. The schedule
now will be: Monday and Friday
nights, gym class; Wednesday and
Thursday nights, basketball practice.
Membership in the gymnasium as
sociation is still open to men,. Ap-
plication should be made at Fuller IS
Pharmacy or Stafrin's drug store. 1t
is thought between 40 and so men
will be present Wednesday night, De-
cember 13, for the first class. Lieu
tenant Compton, Physical Director
Gingrich of the Salem Y. M. c. A.,
and pianist will be here to conduct
the class, which starts at 1880.
Conrad Stafrin is secretary-treas-
urer of the association and the dues
of S. for the first six months should
be paid to him before six O'Clock of
Wednesday, December 13. AS treasur-
er Captain Stafrin has no time to
solicit payment of the dues and it is
not thought members will cause any
delay in paying bills because of slow
ness to fulfill their obligations. All
money received over $3.50, the rent
of the armory for six months, will
be used to purchase equipment. A
committee of the business men, in
conjunction with Captain Stafrin, will
expend the money. 1t is proposed to
provide more showers, build more
lockers and install gymnasium equip
ment. The gymnasium association
and Company L Athletic club will
work in cooperation.
