Anniversary Section Four Number. Pages 24-32 VtJLUME XXIV JUSTICE COURT HAS LOTS OF BUSINESS THE HOLIDAYS HAVE MADE EXTRA WORK Several Cases Have Up NUMBER I. Bandon, Coos County, Oregon, December 19, i907. Come Before Judge G. Topping The holidays have stacked up a whole lot of work for ’is ’onner Judge Topping and the first thing Tuesday morning he commenced wading clear of the debris. The first case of the docket was the suit, Langlois Bros. vs. the Bandon Commercial Co. It seems the Langlois Bros, had back wages due from the above company and de manded their money. Failing to receive same they attached certain lumber on the wharf ready for shipment. The Bandon Commercial Co. claim that they have a stated pay day and paid all wages on that day. The contending parties framed up a jury consisting of A. McNair, foreman, H. H. Dufort, Jack Hoover, Geo. Lofenz, A. J. • Barre and A. B. Sabine. C. R. Wade appeared for plaintiff and T. B. Wheeler for the defendant. The jury listened to the case nearly all day giving a verdict for the plaintiff after supper. This is the first of four similar cases, another of which is being tried today. The Bandon Commercial Company will appeal each and ^very case should they lose out in justice court. Yesterday morning at 9 o’clock the case of the Prosper Mill Co. vs Cal Somers was threshed out. It seems that Somers had been work ing at the Aberdeen Mill and owed the Prosper Mill Co $250, which amount they attempted to seize from his wages. It seems that the law leaves a stated amount of a man’s wages exempt for the use of his famil} in such case the law gave the Prosper‘Mill io. a judgement with a possible chance of securing a part of the money from the Aberdeen people. The Deputy Sheriff appeared during the above case with his prisoner T. Sterns, who has been boarding on the city on a charge of Larceny. As he plead guilty, the Judge tarried long enough to recommend a fine of one hundred dollars, approximately, part of whi' h has already been paid by his confinement. Stern was apprehen- lxl during the holidays. Clausen-T uttle. Miss Anna Clausen and Claude Tuttle were married at the home of the bride’s parents, six miles this side of Coquille, last Sunday by Rev. Roach of Bandon. The couple took the Breakwater for Portland from which place they will leave for In dependence the home of the groom’s parents. While their plans are not. fully materialized,' they say it is possible that they will make that place their home. The bride has been in Bandon for some time, is well known and has many friends who extend their best ** wishes. • The Bandon Hardware Co. have received a fine line of White’s Ship Carpenters Tools which are of in terest to every carpenter. Sei them in their windows. Men’s and Youth’s overcoats, the best Christmas gift you could make yourself, at Hartman’s. Prices ranging from $8 to $18. ~ Harry Wilson. After two weeks’ battle with a severe case of pneumonia, Harry Wilson succommed to that malady. He had been receiving the best of medical attention at his room over the City restaurant, but Sunday night became choked and suffered greatly, death coming as a relief. For some time previous to his death he bad been delirious and unable to recognize anyone. Deceased was a native of Hutton Buscel, Yorkshire, England, where his parents now reside He left Canada for Wisconsin in 1882 and has been in this country for the past 10 years. He had a ranch down the coast leased, stock and .imple ments and a house and four lots in Portfcnd addition to Bandon, the entire property being valued at less than $1,000. He was a member of the Woodmen of the World, Eagles and Masons, the latter order taking charge of the remains and holding services at the grave on Tuesday. Deceased was well known and gen erally liked by his acquaintances. ABMIVBD. Dec. 15—Stmr Elizabeth, Olsen, from San Francisco, with 238 tons merchandise.

Baldwin, dated at Bandon, Ireland, Nov. 30th. The old pioneer and frontier soldier says that he has arriv&d, seen and is satisfied, and were it not for ill health he would now be on his way back to life, enterprise and a land of non-antideluvian habits and customs. In passing through Montreal and Quebec, where the nights were very cold, 1 was unfortunate enough to catch a severe cold and cough, which made a prisoner of me to house and bedroom ever since, but am now im proving rapidly and can stand erect, which I had not been able to do for some years. The 63 years spent in all phases of life in America has quite unfitted your humble servant from falling into the slow and anti quated line of march we have noticed in Erin. Please God, when Spring opens I‘ll steer my bark for Colum bian shores, for Columbia is and forever will be my home. To those thinking of or intending to return here, 1 will say as a friend, stay where you are. It is just as you told me when I was leaving Coos Bay. I am not sorry a whit; have learned much—information cheaply bought. If fortune doth favor, in April or June You may grasp thorough band of the Yankee Dragoon. Board and lodging are ex tremely high priced, et horrible dictu, cooks, etc. Endeavor to teach or preach to them about their old foggy culinary habits, but it availeth not—they still plod on in the error of their ways. I have been unable to see much of the country yet. From Queenstown to Bandon is really lovely, and very much improved since my visit in 1866. Most of the old Bandon families have disappeared alto gether. Will write again when I have had a chance to see some more of the country. Find* an Otter. S0T0Y0ME ANCHOR W. M.

It will be a pleasing item of news to many to learn that this association, in con junction with Dr. Houston, who is one of the directors, has decided to open a hospital at Bandon. The need for a local hospital has long been felt and this movement can not fail to arouse interest. The new hos pital will be under the auspices of The German American Hospital Association,with Dr. H. L Houston as chief surgeon and Howell Poole as business manager. In order to assure the hospital the regular finan cial support it will need, it is neces sary to hav£ the good will and co operation of the people of Bandon and vicinity^ The association are offering a co-operative plan whereby' people in this locality can help build up this hospital and at the same time receive free medical and surgical treatment, hospital services, etc., by payment of a small monthly payment.
