HARD FOUGHT CASE
FIFO SATURDAY EVE
Nearly all of Last Week Occupied
by Nursery Case
VERDICT AGAINST TREE GROWERS
Jury Cut Down Amount Aiiked lor by
A. L. kilthin, of Koxeburg
One of the hardest fought cases
for years came to an end last
Saturday evening, when a circuit
court jury gave a verdict of
$744.49 in favor of A. L. Kitchin,
of Roseburg, against the Oregon
Nursery Co., of Orenco. The
case throughout bristled with
points of law, and attorneys for
both contenders say that this
was the greatest legal battle
ever brought before the local
circuit court. K. H. Tongue as
sisted B. I,. Kddv in the prosecu
tion ot the suit, and Bagley &
Hare defended the nursery com
pany. While the plaintiff asked
for about $2,000. the verdict
covers a little over a third, asked,
and one dollar of this was per
sonal damages.
lhe Nursery Company will ap
peal the case to the Supreme
Court, and it will be several
months before the end will be in
sight. Kitchin asked for $1,000
damages on the trees planted,
which were shipped from Orenco
to Roseburg, and $1,000 damages
to his business reputation. He
alleged the trees were faulty,
but were in such condition that
it was imjHissible to tell this
prior to planting.
On the other hand the defense
relied uMn showing that the
planting was too late in the sea
son for the Roseburg district,
and produced letters from Kitch
in, admitting, at the time ot the
order, that the season was late.
Jury found for Kitchin in the sum
of $901.28, less $157.79, due the
company on the purchase, and
then added $1 for personal dam
ages.
lhe following jury decided the
case, L. M. Hesse acting as fore
man: L. M. Hesse, J. U. Henry,
Robt. Thompson, Jake Schneider,
Geo. Fisher. J. L. Barngrover.
John Berger. Rodell Matteson,
Geo. Sloan, Herman Prahl, E. C.
Mulloy and Wm. Miltenberger.
McNAMl-R WELLS
John McNamer, the well known
Forest Grove horseman and stage
proprietor, was united in mar
riage to Mrs. A. M. Wells, at
Tillamook, Sunday, July 23, 1911,
Kev. Moore, of the M. b. Church
of that city, officiating. The
groom first came to Washington
County in 1859, and was then ten
years of age. He lived with his
parents near Greenville, until
1801. when he was mustered into
the U. S. service, at Salem, as a
member of Co. B., First Oregon
Volunteer Infantry. In the sev
enties he was a stage messenger
for Wells-rargo, on one of the
big California stages, which car
ried treasure from the mines,
and he was awarded a gold watch
for bravery in defending the
treasure on attack by stage rob
bers. Mr. McNamer has a host
of friends in Washington Coun
ty, and congratulations are pour
ing in to the happy couple from
all Washington County.
FOREST FIRES
The State Forester is constantly
getting notice, through the news
papers and from residents of the
State, of fires having gotten be
yond control after several days
fighting, that have not been re
ported to his office until after
becoming a menace to the neigh
borhood. He wishes to urge up
on all State fire wardens the
necessity of reporting to him all
fires as soon after being discover
ed as possible, instead of wait
ing until they become dangerous
to life and property. One such
fire has just been brought to his
notice after having burned three
weeks, that might have been
controlled and probably entirely
extinguished, if reported earlier
so that proper assistance could
have been given.
Every State fire warden, or
other persons, in case they are
unable to get in touch with a
State warden, should telephone
or telegraph (collect) F. A. Elli
ott. State Forester, Salem, Ore
gon, informing him of forest
fires, before they get beyond
control.

BANKS MUSIC MASTER
IS
Wife Alleges That he has Been a
Very Bad Husband, Indeed
CLAIMS HE STRUCK HER WITH SHOE
AIko Say be Threw Dishes and Butch
er Knife at Wife
One of the most voluminous com
plaints in a divorce case filed for
years was passed across the
counter to County Clerk Bailey,
the other day, when Sadie E
Powell, the wife of the Banks
music master, filed papers asking
for separation from John R.
Powell. The couple were mar
ried in Hillsboro, March 2, 1907,
and two children are born to the
union; Powell is well known in
Hillsboro, where for several years
he was the leader and instructor
of the Hillsboro band. The wife
asks for $100 forthwith for sup
port and care of the children,
and suit money, and says she
wants $30 monthly for their sup
port after she shall have a decree.
The complaint says that in
1907, he threw a granite cup at
her; that in 1908, he struck her
with a hot poker; that in 1909,
he slapped her m the face. Here
he seems to have slipped a year.
for the next specific act took
place July 16 that extremely
warm Sunday when the wife
charges that he struck her with
a shoe and called her a "dam
phool." She asks the custody of the
two little children; for the ali
mony above stated; and for half
interest in the house and lot
one acre at Banks and wants an
injunction stopping him from an
noying her during the pendancy
of the suit.
NOW FOR BOBWHITES
It is now in contemplation by
State Game Warden, William L.
rinley, to release a large number
of these game birds and supply
bobwhite eggs to farmers who
will agree to allow them to be
hatched by their hens and pro
tect them while young, finally
permitting them to wander at
their leisure to all parts of their
farms. In this way, a system of
natural propagation will be de
vised that will be of tremendous
benefit to all parts of the state.
Inasmuch as Oregon seems to be
a favorite haunt of the bobwhite
and is known to lay as many as
100 eggs in a single season, some
conception is had of the good
work that might be accomplished
through this method.
In addition to the above menu
of the bobwhite, there stands
out the important fact that in
countries where the gypsy and
brown tail moths have swarmed,
the bobwhite is their worst ene
my. Mr. Finley's scheme en
courage their propagation by a
strictly natural method, without
involving any other expense than
the cost of the eggs and the as
surance that they will be proper
ly hatched by responsible parties,
will be of interest to every man,
woman and child in this state.
NEW SAWMILL
Geo. Laemermann and wife of
above Banks, were in the city
Monday. Mr. Laemermann and
the five Hunger Brothers are ar
ranging to put in a sawmill from
Crawford Station, and they al
ready have the big frame tim
bers hewed, lhe new mill will
cut 25,000 daily, and the six
members of the firm will furnish
practically all of the labor. The
mill will be located in a fine body
of timber, and the owners ex
pect to have it ready for running
inside of 90 days.
Mr. Laemermann states that
the firm already has between
seven and eight millions of tim
ber in their own title, and if
they can't make things go there
is little use for anyone to invest
in a lumber business.
