COUNTY WON SUIT
JURY FINOS' AQAIN6T MCDONALD
IN DAMAGE SUIT.
Wltne for County Ttlfld a to th
Faulty Condition of Plaintiff Team
and Wagon.
Aftur an hour' dlllM;ratlon, the Jury
In the $2000 dimK nlt of Wm, Mc
Donald, a New Kra farmer, ugalniit
ClfM.kumMR county, returned a verdict
finding for the county.
McDonald wo aulng the county for In
Juries he untulnt-d by raon of a runa
way lat Kail. He claimed that the
runaway wan ocendoned by the faulty
and uncompleted condition of the county
road over which he wa iianlnK at the
time with a load of lumber. The road
at the crie of the accident wa being
Improved by the county and for the ac
commodation of the people panning over
the road, planking had been laid over
one aide of the throughfare. It wa
while paealng over the planking that
McDonald claim some of the board
flew up, striking hi horses and causing
them to become unmanageable and run
down the hill, depositing himself and
cargo In a heap at the foot of a rather
precipitous hill. Besides personal In
juries, McDonald claimed that his wagon
had been demolished while his horses
were also Injured.
At the close of the plaintiff's case on
Friday afternoon, District Attorney Al
len for the county, moved a non-suit
based on the technical grounds that the
plaintiff's counsel had failed to prove
that the road on which the accident
happened Is a regularly established high
way. Records were Introduced to show
that the description of the road was
faulty but the court held that Inasmuch
as the county had appropriated money
and had Improved the road which had
been In use for many years, was proof
In Itself that the road Is a road.
Witnesses for the county testified that
the team driven by McDonald was not
sufficiently large and competent to con
duct a load of 1400 feet of lumber, that
was being carried at the time, over the
average county road. In addition. It was
shown that the wagon was not properly
equipped as to brakes. '
J. L". Campbell made a vigorous fight
for his client, being assisted by Senator
Drownell. District Attorney Allen, for
County, was assisted by si deputy, C.

The people of Eureka feel proud of the
boys they are sending to Portland, and
the business men have been very gener
ous. The cadet boys stopped as they
marched and cheered several of these
generous-hearted citizens in front of
their places of business.
Rev. Franklin Baker, pastor of the
First Congregational church, who has
been the master spirit In the enterprise
wishes the Standard to say that he
thanks all those In this city who have
In any way contributed either materially,
financially, or by words of encourage
ment toward helping the Cadet Corps on
their march to the Portland Fair. Ev
ery member of the corps Joins In the
wish and prayer that God will not only
protect them on their long march but
that His blessing will rest upon every
one who has in any way made this march
possible.
Ten days will be spent at the Port
land Exposition, the cadets being quar
tered inside the exposition grounds, and
the return will be made to Eureka by
steamer, arriving here early In August.
The Standard will have full reports
dally of the progress of the Cadet Corps
In Its march of nearly 800 miles to Port
land. Humboldt (Calf.) Standard.
FREE DELIVERY IN 8IQHT.
Oregon City People Mutt, However, Buy
More Stamp.
Except the receipt of the Oregon City
postofllce materially Increase during the
remainder of the present . month, the
dream of free delivery of malls for this
city will prove to have been a myth.
In order to secure this service, the re
ceipts of an office must equal 110,000 per
annum. The fiscal year ends on the
30th-Inst, and the receipts of the Oregon
City office are still considerably short of
the required amount. Citizens will be
stir themselves to make up the deficien
cy before the month ends.
With the securing of a free mall ser
vice in this city, additional clerical help
will probably be allowed also.

CADETS MARCH TO FAIR.
Congregational Cadet Corp of Eurtka,
Cal., En Rout to Portland.
Promptly at 9 o'clock this morning. In
front of the Congregational church at
Eighth and G streets, the fifty and odd
boys of the Congregational Cadet Corps
of Eureka, formed rank and were ready
for the march from Eureka to Portland.
Oregon, a distance of 482 miles, and
which will be covered in easy stages in
about five weeks, arriving la Portland
July 20th, or possibly sooner.
There was some delay in the parting
scene between the boys and their par
ents and friend and again to have them
selves photographed, but at 9:15 Captain
Emery gave the command and to F down
F to Second, along Second the march be
gan, along Eighth street to H, out H to
Seventh and thence to Areata.
There were many weeping mothers
who bid their boys good-bye, for, while
the march is not considered dangerous,
or in any way a strain on the boys' en
durance, still the feeling lingers that
perhaps something might happen to the
dear boy, and he never be again seen
alive. Eureka is sending a fine exhibit
to the Lewis and Clark Exposition, in
these sixty lads, who are the pick of the
club of nearly 150 boys. They were in
fine spirits and looked very soldierly in
their khaki uniforms, with blankets
across their shoulders, canteens on the
hip, flags flying, drums beating, and the
cheers of our citizens as they marched
along the streets.
The flag of the Cadet Corps has the
j letters "C. C. C." on a blue ground and
("Eureka, Cal." on brown. The beautiful
silk "stars and stripes" was the girt last
year of the G. A. R. organisation in
Eureka.
