MADE0ISEM0RERA1D Another Lawsuit by Firemen Against the City. THIS TIME. $24,537 IS DEMANDED John Montns Owns AnsTjyned Claims "Wniclt Were Approved by Pen- noyer's Commissioners. Another firemen's suit was filed in the State Circuit Court yesterday against the City of Portland. The amount sought to be recovered Is $24,537. The plaintiff is John Montag. who holds 11G assigned claims of drivers, engineers, foremen, ex irnmen, etc.. who worked under the Fen noyer administration The claim of R. G. Paddock, who was Superintendent of Fire Alarm at that time, is also included. The ground of complaint is that the men's salaries were reduced from the sum stip ulated in the city charter, and they de mand tho balance. The complaint recites that June 30. 1S58, there was an accounting, and the claims, that Is, the balances, were allowed by the Board of Fire Commissioners, but were never paid. One or the last acts of the Pennoer Board of Fire Commissioners was to pass a resolution that these bal ances of salaries be granted, but City Auditor Gambell declined to draw the warrants, and the Common Council re fused to ratify tho action of the Fire Commissioners. John Montag was then a member of the Fire Board. The allega tion that the claims were authorized by the Tire Commissioners is made a part of the complaint to conform to a decision Tendered by Judge Sears that It is neces sary that the claims shall have been pre sented and passed upon In order to en title to a recovory. James Gleason appears as attorney for the plaintiff. It is stated that another suit of the same- kind will probably be filed today. There is a suit for a con siderable um already pending, and alto gether the total of these claims is prob ably $50,003. Court Note. The County Court room Is receiving a general overhauling, and also the offices of Judge Cake, attached thereto. Judge Gilbert rendered a decision In the Tnlted States Court 3 csterday In the case of Frank H. Bay vs. J. R. Mitchell et al., refusing the injunction applied for. WILL BUILD CUT-OFF. O. K, t X. to Shorten, the Line to Pendleton. East Oregonlan. The O. R. & N. Co. will build the cut off from NoUn to Castle Rock. The sur veyors are actually at work establishing the grades for the new line, and the contracts will be let as soon as the en gineers finish their work and report to the general offices." This was said to the East Oregonlan by a gentleman well informed on current railroad happenings. He says that It Is now beyond doubt that the cut-off will be built. This morning a surveyor's crew left the O. R. & N. train at Nolln, and was prepared to make the survey. A preliminary line has already been run, but no final survey. The engineers who came up from Portland this morning will perform this vork. Several weeks ago. two prominent con tractors. Messrs. Hale and Aldrlch, came up fmm Portland and looked over the ground, -with a view to future operations. It is the understanding that these con tractors were asked by the company to come up and inspect the country over which the cut-off is to run. and be ready to figure on bidding for the contract later when the surveyors submitted their final estimates. When they -were here they refused to say anything on the sub ject, but preserved absolute silence when asked concerning the matter. However, it is known they came for the purpose mentioned. The construction of this cut-off will be valuable, so O, R. &. X. employes say. In that it will obviate the several grades J VALUES IN line of 51-23 to $2 50 gingham, percale and dark and medium colors .

These two advantages, doing away In part with the grades and lessening the distance, will justify the large expendi ture necessary In building the new road between Nolln and Castle Rock. Castle Rock Is on the Columbia River, about 15 miles this side from Arlington, about 40 miles beyond Umatilla towards Port land. The cut-off. If constructed, would take the line through a valley leaving the Umatilla River near the mouth of Butter Creek and running In a straight line to Castle Rock.

In the August number of McClure'3, Lieutenant-Commander James C Glllmore tells tho story of his capture, together with his boat's crew, In Baler Bay, .Luzon, by the Filipinos. He relates the brave action of young Venville, whose mother lives at Sellwood. In the fight which took place In Baler Bay, while Glllmore and his men were In the boat before their, capture, a rifle Venville was trying to use got out of order. Glllmore says: "Venville, one of our apprentice boys, attempted to fix It. A bullet went through the flesh of his neck. "Mr. Glllmore, I'm hit!' he said; but continued working at tho rifle. A second shot plowed through tho boy's breast and came out at his armpit. 'I'm hit again, Mr. Glllmore.' He was still trying to pull out the Jammed clip, when a ball cut a forrow In the sldo of his head. Mr. Glllmore, they've hit me again!' He wiped the blood from his brow and eyes with his coat sleeve and then returned to his task as calmly as If it were only a mosquito that had stung him. It was not three minutes till a ball crashed Into his ankle. Inflicting a painful hurt. There was a slight quiver In the lad's voice as he looked up to me and said, 'Mr. Glllmore, I'm hit once more: but I've fixed the gun, sir. This beardless boy of 17 had never been under, fire before." There is at least some consolation to the mother In the tribute paid her boy by Lieutenant - Commander Glllmore, al though she may never see her son again. PERSONAL MENTION. A. N.
