plaintiff, A. W. Anthony, allegn

Shuts. W. D. Hare and J C. lla-e
and himtolf were interested in
mining corporation, iieiguaieii a
above; that ha was lo take 1.0(H)
harea at $1 per share; that to pay
this be sold the company an option
ou a mine for $'200, and that bis
services as an expert mining man
were worth the other S(X). The
company, however, couni not, or
did not, see that his eervioes were
worth that much and refused 10
audit his claim in that mini, and
relused to allow Mr. Anthony to
act at the meeting of ihn stock
holders. 11a asks that the court
give him bib stock and dividends,
it any have been declared, and if
the court shall decline he asks for
hi -t l.tKX) of option and servicer?.
It is stated, although this waa
not verified, that the company
gave Anthony his choice of stock
or money for his services, and that
be chose the latter as the mine did
not at that time look very favor
able, The company paid him
what he RBked, so it is said, and
there was no further talk about
the affair, until the company de
veloped the property and finally
made a cale for about $110,000, pot
ting ten thousand ddlars down.
The new purchaser has expended
twenty five or thirty thousand on
the prospect and nt-xt October he
is to pay the balance. A. King
Wilson "is tba attorney for the
plaintiff and Ik g ley it Hare will
most likely defend the cae. The
defendant company laughs at the
idtaof Anthony getting a verdict.

HE WAS ROBBED wH
Tells I'ortlandersThat Three
Laurel Men Followed
SWATTED AD KQBRED HIM
Jioiakan Claims be Was Touched
Eleven Dol'ar
for
A colored gentleman by the name
of Swackhanner, who preached at
Buxton, where be hd trouble; and
who preached in the Christian
Church here, where hi addree
w riot very enthusiastically r
ceived; and who wi-nt from here to
Laurel, "blew" into Portland, Sat
urday night, broke, and to'.d the
foundation of the following story,
which appiared in the Sundat
Oregonian:
I .1. II. A.' Z. Swackhaoner epe
rienced Ihe novelty of preaching a se -mon
on missions to a packed house in
the puijlic school building at Lsurel
Friday uiijlit. and then being robbed of
fn, his portion of Ihe receipt of the
lectare, hs he was walki g toward Port
land last night along the road, between
the County Hospital and a brickyard.
lo ui ike matters worse, he says he sus
pects the three men who robbed biru
weie among those who listened lo bis
disruuMe.
U. J. II. A. Z. Swackhanner is a brwht
vouiij; fellow Irom the Vst Indies, who
is li ving io aur mc rsi oy uiiineiiv
pnwer of speech. After his experience
on the lonely road last night he said he
believed tne misMousry board ol the
grest denominations were making tin
mistake of their lives by dispatching
timber to the foreign fields while the
rosds in Multiiomaii County bristle with
highwsruien.
l. 1. 11. A. .. fcwscklianner is nrm in
the belief that it is unprofitable, from a
monetary standpoint, to deliver lectures
to people and then have I mm turn and
lorcio y collect their admission lees at
Ihe point of a revolver on a lonely road.
I). J. 11. A. '- Swackhanner drsgged
himself into Portland at 8 o'clock last
night, after the harrowing experience of
the esr'.y evening, and, being penniless,
hunted up police headquarters, lie
poured out his tale of woe to Detective
Sergeaut Katy, who was sympathetic,
but who referred the victim to bheriri
Stevens. The latter could not be found
by Swackhanner, aud therefore Swack
hanner gave up trying to have the three
bandits run dowu. He hurried to the
V M. C. A., where he expected to secure
a ld for the night.
Smackbanner more than likely
did not have eleven cents. He was
given no gate receipts at Laurel, j
and hi crowded house consisted of!
a very few, among whom wire some ;
who "guyed him. lie went to I
Sheriff Connell after returning!
here from Buxtcn, and lodged a
verbal complaint agaiiHt a Buxton
boy. When here Swackhanner
wore a very dirty shirt, but when
he went to Laurel be had the
pleasure of wearing a clean one
It appears that Swackhanner has a
penchant for hitting police oflices,
as this ia about the only way he
can get any advertising.

MASSAGE
CREAM"
is today indispensable on the
dressing- table of gentlewoman or
gentleman. Not only does a Pompeian
Massage perfectly cleanse the akin, but it
removes wrinkles and blackheads, takes out
stiffness of the facial muscles, animates the
tissues, and makes the flesh firm and solid.
Men use Pompeian Cream after shaving it
flexes the muscles and takes away shaving
soreness. Most women recognize the value
of this preparation in maintaining a clear
and healthy skin.
