The whole east half of the front lawn was spaded this year; but we were surprised to see th at despite the cement coping a t the sidewalk line people have been riding across it on horseback leaving it much mussed up, just as if i t were some neglected com mons. I t is to be hoped such conduct can be checked without putting the county to the expense of erecting fences there, the well kept grounds are so much more attractive without them. Come to think, though, the laws against trespass ought to be protective enough. Clean-Up Day Fully Due. Is the city council going to pass up the annua) clean-up day this year? The road to the dump on the hill east of town is now in good shape and there ia no necessity for delaying a general cleanup any longer. ' Especi ally should the unsightly remains of the S t Patrick’s Day fire be removed from sig h t A little p ain t a scythe and a clean-up day would do wonders for tho appearance of Coquiiie. “ETERNAL TRIANGLE The case of “The State of Oregon against Phillip A. Lennan,” a North Bend logger for assault and battery was on trial in the Circuit court here Wednesday. Th« title of this case doesn’t convey the slightest sugges tion th at it is merely another instance of the “eternal triange,” which fur nishes the motive for practically every love story. The prosecuting witness an whoae Faye MosteBXr, haven’t been .getting along very smoothly and a divorce in which “tike missus” is the plaintiff has been pending in court for some time. Not only was Mrs. Mostellar at outs with her husband but sha had “a friend” as she termed him in her tes timony who took her out to dances and visited her a t her home. Once when this friend was a t the rooming house the Moetellsra kept, seeing the husband coming home he dodged into a back room and when he emerged it was with a butcher knife he had pick ed up in his hand. Being asked what he was going to do with it he said, “nothing” and threw it to the floor, however. The two men had clinched at times, it seemed, and each had made threats against the other. Hence the husband who had besn slighted for a younger if not hsVkdsomer man makes out a complaint against the fellow who at least appears to have been a little premature in his wooing, though there wss talk of some kind of a “separation” between the husband and wife while they still lived in the same house. The family skeleton was brought out and the family linen well aired in this case, but the jury were not convinced that Phil had made any as sault worth mentioning on Frank, and returned a verdict of “not gujlty. District Attorney Hall appeared for the state and E. Lothard McClure for the defense. « « H IT I I , il He Has Done Well and Saved Money That Maloney Wanted. It is only two or three years ago that the Coos Bay Times Sad its bill for publishing the delinquent tax list for this county cut from five cents a line to three by the county court, mak ing a difference of nearly or quite $400 in tho total amount of the bill. The Times man was so peeved about this that he went into court and sued the county for the balance, carried his case up to the Supreme court when he lost it in the Circuit court but fail ed there also. This goes some way to explain why Mike Maloney has been taking so prominent a part in tho fight on Judge Watson, for if it had not been for the strong position the judge took the bill would proba bly not have been cut. But notwith standing all soreness on account of the cutting of that tax bill he was not warranted in making the statement he did last night th at the county court had spent half a million for road work last year and there was little to show for it.- There is so much to show for road expenditures since the court began to spend the money derived from the bond issue that most of the contract ors on road work have lost money and in one case they were unable to meet their obligations. In fact the county has got more than anybody could af ford to give it for th j money spent ia road contracts during the past year; and the amount of work done for Coos county a t a loas or without, profit during that time runs up into the hundreds of thousands. A t the same time the county court has by careful management, succeeded during the past few years in securing the payment of nearly $20,000 in long delinquent taxes that would almost certainly have been lost but for the care and fidelity with which that busi- ness was conducted Jim Wataon has critical period when half a million dol lars hi taxes were hanging in the balance. And it isn’t yet too late to let a great deal of th at money slip through our fingers. The present aspect of things here reminds us of an expression we once heard in Kansas. It’s author was the father of the late General Fred Funs- ton, who was long a legislator, having been speaker of the state house of representatives at Topeka and for years a member of the national house at Washington. The remark was this generalization of his, based on pro found observation: “The people never remember a fa vor and the corporations never forget one.” “The ingratitude of republics” has become a proverb. We hope the vo ters of Coos county will not be guilty of a like ingratitude. King Gets No Damage. t h the circuit court here Monday a big damage suit came on for trial. Geo. Washington King, a stock dealer, wanted $10,000 for damage to his rep utation and business as a dealer in live stock and $100 more for actual expenses incurred whon the police of ficers at Marshfield searched his room for boose and took him before Record- Butler on a charge of violating the dry law. He was acquitted but that was by no means vindication enough. Se he brought suit against the City of Marshfield, the police of ficers who arrested him, the city coun cil and the city attorney for the sums The trial of E. Bergeron of Coaledo, named.
