Forbearance.
Rosenbrook was not arrested for
the murder of Black in Curry
county, the officer sent was uuable
to find him. If ho killed Black,
he has killed only two men in over
seven years and that in a county
where there are many men who
need killing. Henry is a good
forbearing bov. -Coos Bay News.
Well, it may be that Rosenbrook
has only dispatched two men in
seven years, but suspicion points
to him as having disposed of a
third one during the time men­
tioned. Though a “good, forbear­
ing boy,” wo are inclined to think
he would have Big’s scalp dang­
ling from his belt in less than
seven weeks from sight.

E ditors P ost . A s cons'derable
is being said in regard to roads at
this time, permit me to submit the
following which, from ad the in­
formation I have been able to
obtain on the subject, is, in mv
opinion, correct: The decision of
the Supreme Court is sweeping,
and refers to every road in every
road district in every county in tho
State. Where there has been an
established road for twenty years,
the Supervisor has authority to
call out his men and make them
perform their road labor upon
such road. In case it is a new
road or a road re-localed a Super­
visor may warn the men in his dis­
trict to work upon said road, hut
as the law now stands the men are
not compelled to perform the la­
bor. I would advise tho people,
however, to work ou all roads
which are open, and keep such
roads in good condition for their
own convenience, and for tho
benefit of the public.
Yours truly,

E ditors P ost .- In arecentissue
of tho News, I saw an answer to
a communication from Chotco to
T he P ost , respecting the title to
mineral in lands covered by an ag­
ricultural patent. This subject is
not definitely settled yet, 1 believe,
and able lawyers differ in tho con­
struction of tho law, where min­
erals in paying quantities is found
after the patent has been issued.
Secretary Sliurz, in the easo of
Coggin vs. Culver, Hill's Leading
Cases, April, 1886, p. 36, held tlial
a patent to agricultural land eon
veyed no title to mineral that was
subsequently found on tho land,
and had tho patent canceled. T in*
Secretary, after referring Io sever­
al eases to sustain his ruling, went
on to say that “ An entry made in
fraud, or in violation of law, vests
no right which is equivalent to 1
patent, any more than a paten!
issued under like circumstance!
vests a title.” As all minerals are
reserved from sabs as agriculture,
lands, agricultural patents to lamia
on which valuable deposits of min
erals exist, would not convey a fe<
to the grantee for the ¡latent was
issued “against law,” I11 the U.
S. vs. Stone 2 Wallace 525 tip*

times issued unadvisedly or by
mistake, inhere the officer has no
authority in law to grant them.
