KINNEY WINS SUIT.
Supreme Court Decides Subsidy Note
Case.
James W. Welch, respondent, vs. M
J. Kinney, appellant, from Multnomah
county; A. F. Sears, Juree: reversed
and remanded; opinion by Chief Jut
ice woiverton. This was a suit to
collect a note given by Kinney as a
subscription toward a fund to aid in
building the Astoria & Columbia Rivet
railroad. The note was owned bv th
guaranty bond committee, of which
Kinney was a member, and was as-
signed to Welch for collection. The
supreme court holds this action can
not be maintained, because Welch
acts as agent of the committee, thus
placing Kinney in the position of su-
Ing himself, which Is a legal absurd
ity.
Change Came.
Sure-thing and confidence men sem
to be arriving every day in Astoria.
Last Saturday night the change racket
was played on a prominent merchant.
A man went in and bought 25 cents
worth and tendered a $10 piece In pay.
ment, Th proprietor went to the
safe to get the change and as he re
turned the purchaser, suddenly discov
ered that he had a two bit piece in his
pocket. Just at this time another mun
came in and wanted to know how far
the street cars run. During the ex
planation the sure-thing man got his
box of carbolic salve, the original $10
and a $3 gold piece. This is an old
game and is usually worked In the
evening. It Is a three hinded game:
the' proprietor, the Kurt-thing" thief
and the confederate. There is only
one remedy for such hold ups and that
It to have a good revolver and give
the coroner a Job. There is not a Jury
In the world that would convict a man
for putting this gang of highwaymen
out of business for all time to come. It
would be only necessary to perform
the operation once.
