Other Holdings of Concern.
Felix "W. Isherwood has been ap
pointed receiver for all the properties
of the Monarch Lumber Company by
Circuit Judge Kavanaugh.
The receiver has ample power to
take charge of, to operate; lease or sell
the properties. They consist of 28 acres
on the Oregon Slough, with a deep
water frontage of 2000 feet, two large
sawmills, with a combined capacity of
600.000 feet a day; an electrical power
plant appraised at $200,000, and an elec
tric transmission line serving the Union
Meat Company and other enterprises on
the Peninsula. A block in Kenton, with
lumber sheds and buildings, is also
Included.
The Monarch Lumber Company was
organized in 1910 by Lester W. David
with a capitalization of $3,000,000. Mr.
David became president, Seventy-five
per cent of the stock was held by the
parent concern, the David Investment
Company, of which Lester W. David
was also president.
In 1911 the company met with finan
cial reverses and secured a loan of
$264,000 from the Assets Realization
Company, of Chicago, executing its
notes for $300,000 secured by a trust
deed on all the property. The opera
tion of the property during the follow
ing year entailed a deficit of $250,000,
largely represented by local creditors.
come of these creditors afterward re
duced their claims to Judgments.
With the mortgage in default and
taxes and insurance unpaid. Mr. David
proposed to organize the Monarch Lum
ber Company 'of Maine, with a capl
tallzatton of $6,000,000, and to transfer
all assets of the local concern to the
Maine company.
The plan failed, and the Maine com
pany transferred all the local assets to
Ira M. Cobe, vice-president of the mort
gagee, who subsequently transferred
them to Q. M. T. Murphy, his successor
in orrice.
To avoid the necessity of foreclosing
It was deemed advisable by Mr. Murphy
on behalf of .the mortgagee to purchase
the first Judgment lien held by Cap
tain E. W. Spencer, to sell the property
at Judgment sale and thus eliminate
all creditors and at the same time ob
tain legal title without foreclosing the
mortgage. This was carried through
ana a tonerur s deed secured under sale.
On behalf of the morteairee. Mr.
Murphy then brought suit to quiet his
- title and to eliminate all creditors. A
hearing was had last June. On De
cember 31. Judge Kavanaugh held the
fcpencer judgment void, that the East
ern bondholders had acquired no title
to the property, and that all deeds and
titles held by them were void. Judge
Kavanaugh further held that legal title
was vested In W. T. Patton. a Judgment
creditor, who had obtained his Sheriff's
deed. The legal effect of this was to
- eliminate all local creditors.
Through J. W. Kaste, his attorney.
Mr. Patton applied for a receivership
and offered to subordinate his rights
utwer tne deed in behalf of all credit
ors under a receivership
. "While the suit was pending it was
learned that Eastern bondholders had
sold their title to a local cornoratlnn
created by Mr. David and known as the
Monarch Mills. John Klernan, George
leusner ana u. a. Jsneppard were offi
cers of this company, which was in
possession and had made improve

Madame Ohrman received most of her

he recounted, incoherently, the scene
in which his wife and Lieutenant-Colo
nel M. C. Butler, United States Army,
were Blain and for whose deaths he is
charged with murder. Spanell's Bob-
Ding was echoed by spectators and
court officers, whose sympathies had
been aroused to a high pitch that was
visibly Increased when the witness
closed his story with the declaration:
I never shot my wife. Butler moved
out of the way and Crystal fell. Butler
also leu."
As he was about to leave the witness
stand he sobbed:
Thank God! Tva prayed Almighty
uoa to let me tell it as it is. Thank
God. Oh, Crystal." L
I'Mdae Attentions Charapea.
The story of the killing, which oc
curred in an automobile near Alpine
last July, as told by Spanell, accused
Butler of being unduly attentive to
Mrs. Spanell, culminating with the oc
casion when Spanell said he saw his
wife leave Butler's room, where she
had gone with Mrs. Butler, and said the
Army officer had insulted her.
The fatal shooting of Mrs. Spanell
and Butler, Spanell testified, followed
a fight in the automobile as a result
of Incidents which occurred earlier in
the evening. The story of the shoot
ing was preceded by a long narration
of incidents in which Spanell charged
Butler had paid undue attention to the
defendant's wife, "trying to show her
off," and leading up to the evening of
July 20. when, he said, he saw Butler
hurriedly and excitedly leave his
(Butler's) room in the Holland Hotel.
Spanell said a moment later he saw
Mrs. Spane.l emerge from Butler's
room, where she had gone with Mrs.
Butler, who had left the room for a
few minutes.
"Something; Happened," Wife Says.
Mrs, Spanell, when faced by her hus
band, told him, according to Spanell
that "something had happened," but
she "could not tell him what it was
then."
Mrs. Spanell accompanied her hus
band to their automobile and Spanell
said he remembered calling Butler to
the automobile. He said he did not
recall whether his little daughter left
the car. After driving a few blocks,
Spanell testified he asked Butler "what
he had done upstairs." Butler replied
"nothing," that Mrs. Spanell was "just
excited" and misunderstood him.
Spanell then repeated what he said
was the argument that followed.
Then, Spanell said, he received a blow
on the back of his head. Butler grap
pled him and pushed his head down
on the steering wheel. "I then thought
of the gun in a pocket of the car and
got it some way.
Second Pistol Drawn.
Here Spanell's testimony for the first
time rambled somewhat. Then he con
tinued:
"I know we wrestled on the seat.
I felt that if Butler had got the gun
away from me he would kill me and
Crystal, too. I knew he was getting
it away from me. I thought of a little
pistol in my pocket.' I.dont remem
ber of his finally getting the gun out
of my hand. But I had gotten the
Httle pistol out, and I don't know, but
I think I fired a couple of times maybe.
"I found myself next to the car, over
against the fence, and I came back
quickly to the car. Butler seemed to
be right behind Mrs. Spanell. I could
see flashes of a gun. I rushed around
to the other side of the car and remem
bered I fired at him, though I don t
know how many times. Then I saw
him fall and saw Mrs. Spanell in the
car door.
Suicide Impulse Restrained.
"I tried to get her out of the car.
couldn't move her and put the pistol
up to my own head and thought
would kill myself. Then baby came up
before me and seemed to say: "Don't.
daddy, I'm waiting for you,' and some
thing pulled my arm down and I started
away. I called for help.
Gripping his hands convulsively
Spanell reeled in his chair and cobbed:
"Crystal. I was going to Jail; t remem
ber meeting somebody and telling him
to cet a doctor, for God's sake, get
doctor, and then I remember being In
Jail. I did not remember anything
else. I've been dead ever since. Thank
Ood. he helped me to tell this story.
I've prayed Almighty God to let nie
tell it as it Is. Thank God, oh. Crystal!

PORT TOWNSE.ND, Wash.. Jan. 25.
Forty passengers aboard the steamer
Protesilaus, bound from Hongkong to
Seattle, were taken off the vessel by
Canadian officers at Williams' Head
B. C, today and will be held under
observation several days at the quar
antine station there. Contagious dis
ease was discovered among the pas
sengers. The passenger quarters of the
vessel will be fumigated before she is
allowed to proceed to beattle.
The British navy now employs a life
raft made in the shape of a huge
doughnut. Each battleship carries this
kind of lifesaving craft.
E. Lemerle, a Frenchman, followed
the sea. But the uncertainties of a sea
faring life and the small rewards wor
ried him. His children were fast grow
ing up and the years were silvering his
hair. And he had not been able to buy
all the pretty things for his wlfa that
he once hoped he could.
"Go to America, cherie. There the
people have money. There a fortune It
Is easy to get. I will follow when you
have for me a home." proposed Mary
Koee, his companion in wedlock.
Lemerle sailed on a packet bound for
America a few days later. That was 10
years ago. His daughter was fast
reaching young womanhood; his son
was years old.
He fought before the mast in the
stormy rounding of the Horn. At last
he set foot in Portland, and vowed that
he would nevesi again sign up for the
sea. His home was to be in the land of
the free, where Opportunity delighted
in knocking at the door of even the
most humble. Then, in time, he would
be joined by his wife and children, for
whom he would prepare a modest home.
x Opportunity Nat PctsUtcnt.
But gold, it seems, was not to be
picked up in the streets, and the panto
of 1907 had frightened Opportunity.
He finally got what was only a job.
He became a dishwasher at a local hos
pital. For his services he received the
princely remuneration of 30 a month
and board. Sixteen dolars were sent
monthly to his wife and children.
Vanities of dress, dissipation, pleasures
11 that sort of thing were his, on
$4 a month, had he not preferred to put
enough of that aside to permit him to
send for his family eventually.
For three years he labored there.
Then he cut his wrist, infection set in
and blood poison caused him to lose the
use of his right hand.
Still he washed dishes and even made
small sums by doing chores away from
the hospital. The day came when he
had money enough saved to send for his
family. Joyfully lie wrote his wife. An
answer came back after months of
waiting. She had an excuse for not
coming at once; the daughtrr expected
to be married.
Months passed, and soon Lemerle
could furnish a bumble home. Repeated
appeals to his wife brought evasive an
swers. A friend was planning to return
to France. -
"See my wife for we: tell her I want
her to come to America." pleaded
Iemerle. The friend consented, as the
home town of Lemerle was his desti
nation.
The wife wrote 'seldom those days
and Lemerle awaited with anxiety
word from his friend. Finally it came.
I don t care for a husband who is
cripple," the wife had told the friend.
Three years have passed since then
Lemerle has sent no money to Franc
since he learned that his wife despised
him as a cripple. He has a little nest
egg now. Possibly, he now contem
plates matrimony.
At least he filed suit in the Clreul
Court yesterday for djvorco from Mary
Rose Lemerle. His attorney, W. K.
Royal, thinks he will have little trouble
in getting a decree.

Pacifio tracks at Ardenwald for the 21
pupils who have been unable to attend

fence which the railroad company has
put up along' its right of way.
It is feasible and convenient to con
struct a passage way underneath the
tracks and such a construction would
not be expensive," says the Commis-J
sion. "No grade crossing should be
established unless absolutely necessary.
and in this instance the lives of the
children could be protected by going
under the track. The Commission be
ieves that this underground crossing
should be installed instead of the
