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.

The bride has

~ 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.

The Coos Bay News is in receipt
of a letter from Henry H. 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

from falling into the slow and anti

in Erin. Please God, when Spring
opens I‘ll steer my bark for Colum

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

A hospital association, with som?
of the leading doctors of the countv
at its head, was recently formed at
North Bend and Marshfield. 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,
