N. RANKIX GIVE THEIR SIDES. Policeman Files Cross Bill for $10, 100 Damages Commissioner De nies He Abetted Clubbing:. Policeman James Roberts has filed an answer to the damage suit of John Henry Albers, In which 'he Is. one of the defend ants, and also a cross-bill and a demand for $10,100 from Albers. Roberts alleges that Instead of his ha-ving beaten and clubbed Albers, he Is the man who was most seriously Injured. Roberts statement of the case Is that he was near the patrol wagon, and other officers brought Albert to the patrol wag on to have him taken to the police sta tion, Albers all the while fighting with and resisting the officers. Roberts further asserts that when he was in the wagon with Albers he was at tacked by Albers and his back bent over the brass rods of the wagon, and he was seriously Injured, and has been incapaci tated from performing his duty as an of ficer ever since. Roberts alleges that he expended $100 for medical services, and suffered $5000 actual damages, and is en tiUed to $5000 exemplary damages, mak ing a total of $10,100. Police Commissioner C. N. Rankin yes terday filed his answer in the Albers dam age case. He denies that he encouraged, aided and abetted the officers to ill-treat and beat Albers. Rankin avers that he "was present at the fire in his individual capacity only, and noticed what took place only as any other citizen might have done. He states that Officer Church touched Albers lightly on the shoulder and requested him to get outside of the ropes; that Albers did not say who he was, nor what he desired to do in the building. Rankin further states that Church was struck a heavy blow by Al bers' brother, and that Church called upon Officers Caffee and Reteing to take Albers to the patrol wagon, and drive away with him, which was done. Albers he alleges continued to assault and strike the police men. W. D. Fenton appears as attorney for Rankin, and George J. Cameron for Rob erts. Caffee filed his answer a week ago, and he too wants damages from Albers, but asks for only $5000. He is represented by Albert Ferrera as counsel, and Paxton, Beach & Simon are engaged by ex-Officer Church. This makes six lawyers all told tor the defense. Henry E. McGinn ap pears for the plaintiff. BARK VENDEE LIBELLED. Federal Salt Company Sues for $2500, Alleging; Damaged Freight. The Federal Salt Company, by its Northwestern agent, L. V. S. Hardy, yesterday libelled the French bark Ven dee in the United States District Court to recover $2500. It is set forth in the complaint that 3508 sacks of salt were shipped on the Vendee from New Castle, England, to Portland, and that because the cargo was Improperly stored, and on account of other reasons, the salt got wet, and be came rusted and unmerchantable. The bark was released on a bond signed by Captain Y. Le Hegarat and Charles E. Ladd. TO RECOVER EXPENSE OP SUIT. Insurance Company Sues Hannah Gardner on Contract. A suit of an unusual character was filed In the State Circuit Court yesterday, by the London & Lancashire Insurance Com pany against Miss Hannah Lardner, to recover $238. The complaint recites that the plaintiff In June, 1901, Insured a building for Han nah Lardner, at Kelso, Wash., which was destroyed by fire July 24, 190L It Is al leged that the Insurance company and Miss Lardner, considering that they had a valid claim against Metcalf &. Wade, a business firm at Kelso, for damages, on account of the destruction of the build ing, entered into the following agreement In writing: "Miss Lardner and the London & Lan cashire Fire Insurance Company agree to sue Metcalf & Wade. If no money is realized in such action, each is to pay one-half of all expenses. If a recovery of money is had, the insurance company Is to receive $500, or all less than $500, to" reim burse it for the sum of Insurance paid to Miss Lardner. and all over $500 goes to Mlis Lardner, and the expenses of every kind shall be pro-rated between the in- fresh, new goods in the 36 inches wide, jworih m - A t OQo UU surance company and Miss Lardner, in the proportion that the amount received by one bears to the amount received by the other, and shall be paid accordingly." It Is stated that the contract for Miss Lardner was signed by her general agent, the Portland Trust Company, which was duly authorized to do so. The suit resulted in a Judgment In favor of Metcalf & Wade. The Insurance com pany avers that the expenee of the ac tion amounted to $477, which, it advanced, and Hannah Lardner has not paid one half as agreed. An attachment against her property was lesued. ISAM WHITE FINALLY WINS. Lons-Drawn-Out Litigation Settled In His Favor. The suit of I?am White against the estate of A. H. Johnson, which has been in the courts for nearly 10 years, and was several times decided by Judge Shattuck and also by Judge Cleland, and also twice in the Supreme Court, every time in favor of Mr. White, and on be ing tried once more before Judge Fraser was decided against him, was at last, on the third trial in the Supreme Court, finally decided in Mr. White's favor a few days ago. The court remarked at the time that they wanted to hear no more of it. A history of the whole proceedings in this case would be very interesting, as some fine points of law were developed during the numerous trials by Mr. White's attorney, Wirt Minor. The whole long-continued litigation was practically over one point, which was whether the service by the Sheriff of Multnomah County of an attachment on certain premises, by Reaving the legal notice with a Chinaman who was in possession of the place no one else being at home was a legal service. This point was decided In favor of Mr. White five times hand running. After that three women were Introduced as witnesses, who testified that, after all these years of litigation, they now re membered that on the day on which the attachment was served they were in the house on the premises attached by the Sheriff, and that the Chinaman was not in possession of the premises. On this testimony the court decided against Mr. White who, again appealed to tho Su preme Court, which reversed the decree of the lower court and decided the case finally In Mr. White's favor.

Nick Anderson, His Assailant, Held to Answer to Grand Jur Re fuses to Testify. From peritonitis due to a stab wound inflicted by Nick Anderson last Sunday." George L. Tooley, the Holbrook farmer, died yesterday morning at 6 o'clock at the Good Samaritan Hospital. A Coroner's inquest was later held Into the case, and the Jury decided that Nick Anderson was responsible for Tooley's death, and the prisoner was committed to await the ac tion of the grand Jury. He refused to testify. It was seen from the first that Tooley's injury was probably fatal, and the physi cians say that he would not have lived so long had he not been possessed of good health and a vigorous constitution, hard ened by outdoor life. His wife, father, mother, brother and sister were with him when he died. Anderson stood motionless for a few seconds when first told in the County Jail that Tooley was dead. Ho then uttered: "I'm sorry he's dead. But I suppose it can't be helped. I did not mean to kill him, but I meant to hurt him. He at tacked me first. He told his wife to strike me with the sledgehammer, and I had to free myself from him to protect myself from Mrs. Tooley. I acted in self-defense." At the inquest, Mrs. Tooley, a little, nervous-looking woman, was the princi pal witness. She repeated substantially the story connected with the affray as told last Wednesday by her husband, and published In Thursday's Oregonlan. She testified. In part: "I was standing on the porch of our houe when Anderson ut- J tered some words, but I did not hear them sufficiently to clearly understand what was meant. They were insulting, how ever, and my husband came out and asked what Anderson had said, and struck him and knocked him down. I went into the house. I could hear the conversation from where I was. Anderson attempted to get up, and my husband made him promise to go away if he was allowed to get up. My husband helped Anderson to get on his feet, when Anderson stabbed him in the stomach. My husband called out that he was stabbed, and asked me to bring a gun. I came out with a sledgehammer and knocked him down, and held him down until my husband got out of the way. I then assisted my husband. No, I did not see the blow struck. My husband told me that he was stabbed, and that he was getting weak from loss of blood. I think Anderson was under the influence of liquor at the time." Mr. Tooley, Sr., testified that his son had never been in trouble with any one previous to his death, excepting Ander son. The Coroner then asked Anderson if he had anything to say, warning him that he did not need to make a statement un less he chose to do so. Anderson replied that he availed himself of his constitu tional right not to say anything that might incriminate him. "I prefer not to testify, as I will testify later," he said. The case was then glen to the Jury. Money Question to the Front. PORTLAND, April 26. (To the Editor.) There was a very forcible reminder of the old adage that "a He wIlL travel a league, while truth Is putting on Its boots" In the Indiana Republican State platform, published in yesterday's Orego nlan, in which It asserts that "Our faith in the gold standard has been amply. Jus tified by the wonderful strides of Ameri can Industry and commerce since its adop tion." When the plain fact is stated, that this country was practically put on a gold basis October 14, 1S91, by the arbitrary ruling of Charles Foster, Secretary of Treasury, that the Sherman treasury notes were payable in gold, and kept there during the whole of the Harrison and Cleveland Administrations, legitimately resulting in one of the worst financial panics the world ever saw, and that it was again practically put back upon a bi metallic basis by the act of June 13, 1S93, authorizing the coinage of standard silver dollars, resulting most naturally, of course, in increased prosperity through out the whole country, the stupidity of the Indiana Republicans, and the magni tude of their covert lie becomes most ap parent. The Treasury Department re ports that last month there was coined $2,955,577 standard silver dollars, and last I year their total coinage was $30,733,450.

Tues day evening Mr. Mayer and a party of friends participated in a banquet at the Portland, which Mr. Mayer says, was "a dream," and the memory of which will remain with him for years.

He further says that sucn an affair. If It could be paralelled at any of the leading hotels of New York, would have cost $2500. The guests, 12 In" number, were seated at a round table, the appointments of which, with the flpral decorations, were matchless. In the center was a fountain which played Jets of champagne, while the basin Into which the bubbling Jets poured wa3 tenanted by scores of gold ! and silver fish, which darted about In a state of lively exhilaration at least this is how things appeared to some of the guests. The menu was unique in form, being in the style of a Government bond, with a coupon for each course, which was con sidered eminently correct, as all the guests were bondholders.

About three years ago I had a severe case of Con tagious Elood Poison, and tried doctors without benefit, 60 I concluded to go to Hot Springs. After remaining there some time the sores and eruptions left and appa renUy the disease was cured, and I left for home. la about three months after leaving the Springs the trouble came back worse than ever. I had often heard of S. S. S. , and wrote for your book. At that time I was unable to work and had lost flesh, until I did not look like the same person. I began taking S, S.
