The circuit court today was occupied by the case of Herbert Beadle vs. Drs, Paine and W. KuykendalL wherein, lleudle seeks to recover $1(006 dam-, ages on account of alleged maltreat ment, of a broken arm. . Beadle's arm was broken In May, 1503, while he was working in a logging camp. He was' brought to, Eugene and placed ; under the tare vf Drs. Paine and KJuyken dall. He alleges that the physicians sa unskinrutly. negligently and care lessly conducted themselves In th treatment that the bones were never set and placed and caused to remain in their proper positions. He alleges that the arm Is now useless L on ac count of the mistreatment. The doc tors claim that Beadle left the hospi- tal where he was being treated with- out being discharged, and that they had .written to him on two occasions asking him to call and see If the arm was In good shape. No. attention was paid to the requests, the doctors say, hence the deformed arm. MARRIED. OLSEN COLEMAN At the Marion county court house, Salem. Oregon. Tuesday, November 3. 1903.

This will probably be a hard fought battle, judg ing by the comparative scores made by the two teams. ' Willamette University was defeated by the University, of Oregon last Sat urday by ihe overwhelming score, af 3 1 to 0 and this score would probably have been worse had it not been that in the secocd half of the game Coacri Smith substituted several members of the-- .second team for the regular first team players, in order to give them a chance to play. The score In the first half was 27 to 0. The Portland Medical College played the Unlversdy of Oregon and went down to defeat to the tune of 1G to 0, so It may be seen that the home team will not find a snap, ant a hard, fast game may be expected, probably the hardest fought game of the season on the home field, but the men are con fident of victory and will make the! tooth pullers think thay have been up against the real thing. Coach Diets Is holdin? the to.om uroll ) ln nand and both he! and Manager Mdtimore feel very confident of vie tory, next Saturday. The men do not feel crushed; by their defeat at Eu gene, but simply acknowledge that they were outclassed, and are pleased at the way they held together and stubborn-I iy defended every inch of the territory The Dental! college team .is some- v.hat weakened by some of the mem-1 bers -being in California with the stuunoman rooioau team, and on that account will not put up such a stub born defense as might otherwise be ex pected. Manager Skidmore had arranged for a football game with the Portland Med ical Colrege to be played on Willamette field next Saturday, but for some un known reason the medicos backed out uiiu ne nawenea to arrange ror a .game with tooth pullers, the details be'ng completed yesterday, and the public n.y uepena upon witnessing a game lully as scientific and probably more CTiappy than though the medicos had decided to come-up to Salem and suf fer defeat. In the game with Eugene the Wii lamette team won an enviaoie reputa tion, although Eugene found weak places In the team. iollard, Judd and Miller were especially admired for their skilful, snappy playing, and tb sports assured Pollard that he wouia certain - y be given a place on the Northwest ern team. , me boys made no complaint, and yet raid that had the umnire attended I to his business Eugene would have I been held down to 20 points, and Wil lamette would have been permitted to rcore a touchdown.

Lake county, ag gregating over 3C00 acres, which is also claimed by the settlers of that regton. In rpeaking of the matter yesterday, and referring to the Governor's inter view, which was published yesterday, in which the Governor said that he did not feel that Commissioner Richards Lad treated him and the people o Ore gon with tlie consideration and respect that was. due them, in issuing the pat ent 'to the land over his request to withhold it pending his Investigation, tnd ln placing the patent in the hand cf the attorney of the Warner Valley Company, Instead of issuing It through hi office, acording to - custom, '. Mr. Cogswell said:' . ' "The.lanl In question Is situated in townships 39 and 40 south, ranges 24 arid 25 east. The first two townships were surveyed by J. H. Evans In 187.", and were returned as Warner lake. The other township was surveyed by Gen eral W. II. Byars, in 1879, and was re - turned ai Warner lake or marsh. The contention before the Interior Depart ni ht on the part of the Warner Valley Stock-Coir pany was that It w.is swamp LiHd and on the part of the settlers j that it' was a permanent lake. "i "Judge Vandeventer whon he was attorney general for the Department of the Interior, said that It was swamn lr.nd, and it was upon this decision that ihe department based Its decision re- cntly4 tha or.ly question being whether the. land was-swamp in I860, the year of the grant of the land to the state. "The Governor was misinformed re garding anyone claiming to represent tne state and asking for a patent, as no such claim was ever put forth. Gov- i hiuio x riiiiuvtr ana jora ootn re quested patents to the land and it was regarded as; unnecessary for any fur- tner request to be made. "I do not think the department In tended any disrespect or discourtesy toward the Governor or the state, in delivering the patent to the Warner Valley Company, as it has been the uniform practice of the department. where the land has been purchased. oerore the patent has Issued, to de liver the patent to the purchaser In stead of the patentee and the Warner Valley Stock Company merely asked that this practice be followed in their casej . "The company has no fears- of a suit in the matter, as the only question at issue to be decided! was whether the land was swamp In 1860, the date of the grant to the state."

Parsons a. divorce from her husband. E4 C Parsons. .mis case has attracted more than Usual attention from th r:ift ih,r incidentally in changing her husband with cruel treatment, Mrs. Parsons claimed among other acts ofcruelty, that he compelled her to secrete goods and merchandise which he had taken from the Oregon Insane Asylum and compelled her to cut the marks off of the articles. Mr. Parsons did not answer her complaint, but went away from Salem, but the state authorities took a hand in the matter and' brought him back, and he is now in jail await Ing trial by the criminal court; which does not convene until January next The attorney for Mr. Parsons in the criminal case,' Mr. W.. H7 Holmes, ob tained permission from the court and the district attorney to take Parsons irom jau and allow him to testify against Airs, parsons to prevent her getting a divorce in order that his criminal case should not ,be preju diced. In rendering his decision yesterday Judge Boise reviewed the entire case as presented and held that Mrs. Par sons naa sufficiently proven cruel treatment in many respects to entitle her to a divorce. ' She was also given the custody of an only child,. Myrtle I. Parsons, aged 15 months. In ren dering his decision Judge Boise re ferred to the fact that there were a number of letters in evidence In which Mr. Parsons admitted that he had done his wife- many injustices, and also a letter from a lady friend oe 'arsons snowing that he was on very intimate terms ; with her, al though it appeared that he had at first deceived her by representing that he was an unmarried man by the name or jsrowneii.

Holmes appeared for Mr. Parsons. - At 2 o'clock this afternoon the case of L. L. Cochran vs. County of Mar ion for a writ of review, will come up for hearing before Judge Boise. This case resulted from a proceeding had in the county commissioners' court, whereby a new' road was ordered -opened and established through what is known as the Glenn place, south of Salem, now owned by the plaintiffs in this action. The county board of road reviewers assessed the damages, re sulting to the property of the plain tin's by the oiening of the road, at $125, but the owners being dissatisfied with the amount allowed,: applied t tha circuit court for a writ of re view. The residents living in the Sidney country, and the people of this city are deeply interested in this proceed ing, since, if the new roadLJs opened and established, another" ifrta rura delivery route, to lead out from Sa lem, is practically assured.'

Iu ho for the W'jiI fs Fair, applied to day for a crniit lo eri- t an '.Idaho building. The buildiiiK will b.- of tl.e bungalow styie. Mr. D. W. Smith1 of Howell Prairie More generally known amoiig ll.ir Ion and Polk county farmers as "'el' Smith, is everywhere a know lea.-.I to be one of the bt farmers in the WiU lamette 'valley. .In -fact, it wouM 1-1 imiofy.ible to find a. more pninslakingj thorough farmer east or west than id Iir. "Smiths jlle has followed a walking plow for 41 years, an. I his tiehis ai laid out in lands as strain-lit as n chalk line. He drives straight and he wants the stubble turned umltr. Mr. Smith watched his neighbor ("". M. Walker, using one of our Itenicia Hartcock disc plows for two years, and finally concluded that it . was worth trying. He asked us two wHks ago if we would let him try it In hla fields. and said that if it would plow ftiaiRht. hold to land, and turn the stubble un der he would likely want it. We told him that he could b th- judge and jury on that question. Mr. Smith took out a two di.se plow tv.o weeks ago today, and. on the follow ing Monday we started it for him. It fitted, as usual, with front and rir wheel controllers curved mouldmoanls and jointers. It holds to land. Wft or dry. draws without any side draft, pul verizes the ground- and turns thf stubble under perfectly. - That fills the bill for Mr. Smith ani he kept the plow and is perfectly sufi isfied with it. In fact, he iays no plow made could do better work than h? i doing. ; And the swales, he has never been able to plow anywhere near as well. In fact, he tried the plow when the ground was pretty dry. in all kin4s of land, and has used it since the rain and it meets every condition. We are glad to seli plows to men lik Mr. Smith, for it's a mark of Ihe su periority of our plow when such farm ers buy it and stop walking. Drop him a line if you want to know how he likes it. Mr. C. M. Walker, who was the first customer that ever used a I Seidell Hancock disc plow In the valley here, came in about two weeks since and pt his second two disc plow. ITe is now using two of these. He has a 13-year- old boy driving four horrcs to one , of these, cutting 24 inches of ground. Tie- ! boy is riding and taking it easy: (ha horses are having a better time Hum hey would on a 16-incli (billed ploi1.. and. Mr. Walker is about two acres ,i day ahead in the deal. If that .isn't economy in farimiiK. what is? i Mr. Smith and Mr. Walker are but two out of more than 60 customers t whom we have sold Beuicia iiancink Disc jdows in the last two- e;trs. : Drop us a line and we.il send ym names of nearby farmers who we jus -ing the Benicia. We have sold a; lot more of them this fall and they tarn going out right along. ' j . There's this broad difference between the Benicia Hancock and all othfr?: The Benicia is absolutely under jtli control of the driver in prairie or hillside;-it turns the soil and stubble : der, cuts an even furrow with b"lh discs and does not comiiel the hon"1 to cut their legs oft on the tugs tryint,' to hold it to land. : . Other disc plows have no means f" the driver to control the plow on hHH or hard land. None of them have jointers, and in most cases the horw have a lot of side draft to overrom by the tugs.. In fact, the manufac turers of such plows should be tak'n in charge by the' society for the pre vention of cruelty to animals. There are a great many more tWriB we could add, but we'll save them for cnother time.
