The case of Hamuol A. Crosby, of
lloulton. administrator of the estate of
Kdlaon Crosby, deceased, against the
.Northern raciuc Hallway company, to
recover 5(XHI dnmngea for the death of
Kdlaon Crosby, went to trial in the
United HtHtes court, in Portland Mon
day, U-fure Judge Bellinger and a jurv.
Kdiaoii Crosby, an elderly man, while
on bis way homo from til". Helena, at s
crossing of the Northern 1'ncilie railway,
near lloulton, was run over by a train
and killed attotit a year' ago. U was al
leged that the accident waa due to
the negligence of the railway oMiciuls,
and hence suit was brought to recover
tiamnges. When counsel for the com-
Slainant rented their rase, counsel for the
ufendant asked for a nonsuit, and after
some argument, Judge ltallinger decided
that the prosecution had not made out a
case, and directed the jury to return a
verdict In favor of the defendants,
which wna done.
Tho trial of a postmaster are many,
Indeed. At one. of tho postolllccs not
far from 8t. Helena, a "knowing" man
tore Into the ofllce, red-eyed, and with
murder in his heart, glaring at the post
master in such a manner aa to mnke
him think his time had come. The

brother had failed to receive, and which
the government had stolon. The
"knowing" patron sneaked out and
hasn't been buck since. Of course the
postmaster was to hlaino. However,
about to the same extent ns ho is in
many cases of imaginary neglect of du
ties, after an investigation has been
made
.
On sovoral occasions Tin .Mist has
mentioned the fact that land redemp
tion! were proving a source of much
revenue to me county. '".
the receipts at the county clerk's office
from that source amounted to:M0.50,
nd prior to that, during the present
month there had lajen collected $81.00,
which made a total for the month up to
the 18th, of HliO.oO. Rome time ago tho
county clerk had a form of a letter
printed, which at odd times he mails one
to parties who are indebted to the county
on back taxes, and none so far sent
outhavo failed to bring good results.
Several thousand dollars is vet due the
county from this source, and while the
rate at which collection! are made is
indeed satisfactory, yet if tho clerks had
opportunity to dovote more time to that
particular feature, more satisfactory re
sults would-le realized. There is little
doubt but what many thousand dollars
could be collected from that source
within the next low months if it were
possible for one man to devote his en
tire time to the matter. However, tho
rate at which revenuo is being received
from that source is very gratifying.
While wo are congratulating ourselves
npon tho good fortuno of getting the
county out of debt, or nearly so, at
least, wo must not lose sight of tho fact
that a reaction is certain to follow. Tho
idea uppermost In the minds of those
of tho county's llnancea rest has been to

was made was applied in lieu of that
released to the United States govern
ment on account ol Deing witiun tne

reserves, as defined by the forest resorve
bill. Of the filings made, only a portion
of the land was open, the rest being oc

filing of the railroad, company on the
land will, it is said, in no manner affect
the present owners other than prob
ably force them to sell at a referee's
price. Iu other words, the act of filing
n.na not done because of any flaw in the
present owners' title, but simply to get
the railroad land all in a body. Whether
litigation will follow ia not known, but
the belief is expressed that a settlement
will be had without resort to the courts.
