She recovered, however, very soon after he bade her good -nay.

It is interesting to note that the women followed the case closely and declared the accused were not guilty, - though the woman testified that she had knocked the man down and pummelled him after he was down and that her husband had also hit a "few licks for good measure." It was shown, however, that their victim had used abusive language to the woman. . The Jury Included Mrs. Mount, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Parker, Marsha Thomas, Mrs. Cummins, Miss Nelson and Mr. Keliy.

'KoneJ. claims l liave- discovred a curs for lep- Northern Pacific Must Give Up 293,000 Acres on Edge of Yakima Reserve. SUPREME COURT DECIDES Twice Appealed, Case Which Has Been in Courts' Five Tears, Re turns to Government Very Val uable Area in Washington. SPOKANE, sWb, Feb. 38. (Spe cial.) By a decision handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States the Government recovers from the Northern Pacific Railway 293,000 acres of land extending from the western boundary of the Yakima Indian reser vation to the Cascade Mountains, and valued at approximately 12,000.000. The case has been In the courts for live years. The Government's case was based on the contention that Federal surveys and engineers made a mistake when the western boundaries of the Yakima Indian reservation were ' fixed and that consequently that area ex tending from the western boundary of the reservation to the Cascades should revert to the Government in spite of the fact .that the Northern Pacific had acquired title to most of the land and had resold some of It. Lower Courts Affirmed. Subsequent to the filing of the Gov ernment boundaries of the Indian res ervation the land west of the Cascades was acquired by the Northern Pacific. After the railroad company had sold some of the acreage, amounting to ap proximately $6000 to nine persons, the Government informed the railroad of the mistake In the boundaries of the reservation and announced its intention of expanding the reserve west to the Cascades. Suit was begun by the Government five' years ago and the case was heard by the late Edward uitson. United States Judge, who found for the Gov eminent On appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Whitson was affirmed and now, five years after the suit was - filed, the Supreme Court sustains the lower court and orders tbe land restored to the Government. Value of Land Increases. The nine individuals who bought land in the area which has been re turned to the Government will be reim bursed by the Northern Pacific Railway in the amount paid the company by the Individuals, according to Edward J. Cannon, local counsel for the Elliott road. "They won't' have to bring suit to recover,", said Attorney Cannon today. "All they will need to do is to ask us for the money and it will be paid them" Whether the purchasers will be satisfied with the purchase price paid the railway company is doubtful, as the land has increased in value manifold.

PIRATES ROB THE ADVENT CAPTAIN MONT ETON MAY CALL FOR FEDERAL IXQTJIRY. Official Report or Wreck Made to SEajor Tower at Marshfield and Trip South Started. MARSHFIELD. Or., Feb. 28. (Spe cial.) Captain Mont Eton has filed with Major Tower, port official here, his official report of the wreck which cost him his vessel, the Advent, last week. Mont Eton left this week for San Francisco to appear before the United States inspectors, who will Investigate the wreck. The investigation will . nly be a matter of form, as there Is no evi dence of carelessness or- of anyone be ing at fault, the wreck simply being an accident of the sea. Eton says It is a shame that the Advent was lost, be cause a power vessel would have had several hours after she got into trou ble in which to tow her to safety.- Had the Rustler reached her earlier, Eton thinks, she could have been saved. As long as there was the slightest chance Eton says he and the crew remained on .board. When the lifesavlng crew came In re sponse to the appeal for aid, he in structed them to go back and have a tug or power vessel Bent to their relief. He says that the wreck was caused by a squall striking them. Eton has been with the Simpson Lumber Company for 23 years of the 27 years he has been going to sea. He was formerly on the old tug Hunter here, later on the barkentlnes Chehalis and Echo and other ' vessels of 'he Simpson fleet. His family resides m Marin County, California. He says that one of the regrettable features of ihe wreck was the robberies by South Slough pirates. He says that they robbed the Advent of practically every thing movable, despite the guard that was placed there. They even stole ar ticles from the ship that were piled up on the bluff and took a lifesavlng belt belonging- to the lifesavlng crew. He says that this Is a Federal offense, first because the .ship was never given up, and seeond, because the wreckage lies In the Government reserve.
