“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.

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
