INJUNCTION SUIT
BV SAWMILL MEN
FOX & MASTERSON CLAIM THAT
LEASED FLUME HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED.
C. L. Fox and W. G. Masterson, pro
prietors of two sammills, one situated
on Deer Creek and another on Taylor
creek, have brought suit for an In
junction against M. C. Pulley and C.
S. Lowe, members of a corporation
known as the Deer Creek Flume Co.,
owning a flume extending from Deer
to Walker creek.
On April 20, Fox and Masterson
leased this flume for the purpose of
conveying the finished product of
their sawmills to the markets.
July 12, the plaintiffs allege that
the defendants disconnected the flume
In such a manner as to render It use
less, and posted notices forbidding
any one to repair the flume or even
to enter the premises with that In
tent. The sawmills owned by Fox & Mas
terson employ a large number of men,
and as the flume is thelr'only means
of conveying their product to market,
they are necessarily losing a great
deal of money while their men are
Idle.
As the flume Is still disconnected,
the plaintiffs ask an order for permit
ting them to repair the flume and an
injunction restatntng the defendants
from again disconnecting it.
Pulley & Lowe also own a saw
mill, and some people say the under
lying cause of the suit la business
rivalry. y . .

CAMERON'S
BAD ACTION
Strikes His Wife So Hard An
Abscess Forms on Her
Head.
THREATENED HER LIFE
Applicant for Divorce Allege Hus-
band Drew Penknife and An
nounced Willlgnesa to Cut
Her Jugular.
Maude Cameron asks the circuit
court to grant her legal separation
irorn ner uuHoanu, .ticueoa cameron,
on the grounds of cruel treatment.
The couple were made one at Van
couver, Wash., June 24, 1305, and the
husband Immediately began a course
of cruel and Inhuman conduct toward
his .Inoffensive spouse. He accused
her of lavishing her affections on
other men, and even hinted at lewd
companionship with them. It was
very seldom that he ever addressed
her without prefixing some profane
or vulgar name to his remarks.
On November 5, 1906, he said he
would beat her and pulled her hair,
and he doubtlessly would have car
ried out his Intention, had she not
fought bim off.
Again on June 5, 1907, he attacked
her and struck her a blow on the
head. So hard was the Impact of this
blow that an abcess formed on her
head which has caused her much
agony.
After striking her, Cameron picked
up a
penknife, and addressing her
wun some or tne most loathsome epi -
thets, he remarked, "I'd Just as soon
cut your Jugular as look at you."
Maude also accuses her Bpouse of
drinking "red eye" and says that he,
is in the habit of staying out nights
till 2 or 3 o'clock without giving any
reason.
At all times the wronged wife says
that she has treated her better half
in a loving truthful manner, but in
return has only received vile names
and 111 treatment.
She prays the court to dissolve the
bonds existing between her and Cam
eron and to give her the right to use
her maiden name, Maude Burley.
There are no children.

HAD WRECK ON
PCRE MARQUETTE
Detroit, Mich., July 20 A Pero Mar
quetto excursion train from Ionia for
Detroit was wrecked two mllea east
of Salem this morning and from 40
to 50 people were killed and over 100
Injured.
The cause of tho wreck waa a head
on collision with a freight. It oc
curred in a deep gully and many
bodies, at least 10 or 15, are still
buried beneath the wreckage, while
30 bodies have been recovered.
The excursion was the annual out
ing of the railroad shop men and their
families. Eleven coaches were loaded
with over 800 persons Including 173
children. As far as known no child
was killed. Five coaches were
mashed to kindling. Both trains were
running at a high rate of speed.
The cause of the wreck is supposed
to be disregard of orders by the
freight.

pjQ 300 PER CENT
IN EXTRA DIVIDENDS
STOCKHOLDERS OF ADAMS EX
PRESS COMPANY DIVIDE $36,
000,000 EXTRA PROFIT.
The people who use the express sys
tem and that embraces a majority of
the farmers, will be interested in the
announcement that the Adams Express
company has recently divided 24,000
000 of surplus profits among its stock
holders, at the rate of $200 on every
$100 share of stocks. This Is In addi
tion to the regular annual dividends.
This same company In 1898 made an
extra dividend of 100 per cent, mak
ing altogether a total present of $300
on every $100 share of stock. Every
dollar of these $24,000,000, and of the
j preceding $12,000,000, comes out of
lthe pockets
the Adams
of the patrons of
Express company.
and is an excess charge over
and above the charge necessary to pay
regular dividends on its stock, which
is probably part water. For years
the people have been demanding of
Congress a parcels post, which Is the
only effectual remedy against the ex
tortion which the express companies
have practiced on the people for many
years. But with a high official of one
of the express companies Intrenched
in the U. S. senate, and corporate in
fluence exerted In both branches of
Congress, no attention has been paid
to the demands. Perhaps the con
crete example which this distribution
of $24,000,000 plundered from the peo
ple gives, may result in a more ur
gent demand, and one which the mem
bers of Congress will find it hard to
resist Much has been said of mak
ing the express companies subject to
the Inter-state Commerce commission,
and thus put a limit to their rapacity.
But why give a partial and unsatis
factory remedy when Congress can
give a complete and satisfactory one?
Every civilized country but the Unit
ed States has its parcels post as part
of the Government mail service. Give
It to the people of the United States,
the common people If you please, and
we shall hear no more- of 200 per cent
extra dividends on watered stocks.
