T. R. Worth ington and Henry Thiesen, who have adjoining farms lying between Clacka mas station and Oak Grove, have had much troublo about the boundary line between their possessions, the matter having been in circuit court several times. At the trial last fall, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of Worthing ton, but the court has nut yet given judgment on tho verdict. Aciingon the presumption that the jury's verdict was sufficient warrant for taking possession of.the disputed property, Worthington a few days ago went upon the land and began, taking steps to make it a part of his farm. Thiesen objected to such action, and had Worthington arrested and tried before Justice Genglebach on the charge of malicious trespass. The defendant was adjudged by the court to be guilty of the offense charged, and lie was sentenced to pay a fine of $5. This he refused to do, so he was com mitted to the county jaii.

Don aldsou, the Oregon City agent for the Royal Insur ance Co., has received particulars of a big insurance policy which tho company has written, covering various railroad properties aggregating over $2,250,000. To the reporter's inquiries us to the ability of the company to carry so largo a risk, this reply was" made: "The Royal Insurance Co. is the largest fire insurance company in the world, having assets of about $50,000,000 and an annual income of fire premiums alone of over $10,000,000. The company has recently taken first place in the insurance world, and now leads the largest amount of fire premiums income in the world."
