FRAIK H. CON.EY'S
SUIT FOR DAMAGES
IHE ASKS $10,000 BECAUSE A NORTH
tERN PACIFIC COINDUCTOR PUT
HIM OFF TRAIN.
HE SAYS HE HAD TO WALK
tlad an Oregon Short Line Mileage Book
on an N. P. Train, but It Was
Not Honored.
'Within the past three weeks the North
ern Pacific railway have had to defend
three damage suits in the United States
court.
First came the Vincent Rooney case,
wherein the plaintiff wanted $.5,000o for
injuries received at the Montana Union
depot. 'This resulted in disagreement, and
w 'ill be tried again.
The early part of this week has been
occupied with the action instituted by
John Sloan, who s anted recompensl e for
injuries received from being run down
on the hill by a Northern Pacific ore train.
Sues for $10,000.
No sooner was this case decided in
iavor of the defendant than Frank II.
Cooney came to hat with a claim for
$10o.n damages for being ejected from
a train between Butte and Deer Lodge.
The suit of Cooney grew out of trouble
Which occurred on June 13, 1899.
In Mr. Cooney's action for damages
he states than on June 23, 18!9, he
boarded a train on the Northern P'acific
en route west, and had ridden about ten
stiles when the conductor asked for his
ticket. He produced a mileage book from
the Oregon Short Line, and presented it
for passage.
The conductor informed hint that it was
Iot good for transportation on the North
ern Pacific, and after a few minutes'
argumenet, stopped the train and made
ICooney get off. The latter alleges that he
was compelled to walk to (;regson Springs.
:Mr. Cooney at that time was traveling
for Cooney Brothers, a firm of which
he was a metmber. He contends that at the
time he presented the mileage the Oregon
Short Line and the Northern Pacific had
& passenger agreement whereby tickets on
one road were good on the other.
He Had to Walk.
MIr. Cooney asks that the road he com
pelled to pay him the sumn of $so.uoo as
gompensation for the wrong done him in
snaking shim leave the train in an out-of
the-way place and walk to the nearest
Station.
Ma\r. Cooney is represented by Attorneys
George Shelton and C. P. I)rennan. while
V'illiam Wallace. Jr., is taking care of
the railway company's interests.
The case is now under way, a jury
having been selected this morning

the past 1I years, and can truthfully say it has
cured me on several occasions of the grip, and
once of a severe attack of rheumatism. I
gained In strength and flesh, gaining four
pounds a week. I helieve if any one used

snended it to many of my friends, and all say
it helped them, and are satisfied with its bene.
fits. I think it is the finest stimulant in the
world, and would not be without it."
Mrs. Lucy M. Cooper.
Mrs. Cooper once recommended it to a
stranger WHItO IHAD CONSUMPTION and
S lswho was seized with a paroxysm of coughing.
When he finally stopped coughing he replied:
"I have tried everything, madam, and have
S lost all faith in doctors and drugs, but I will
take your advice."
Several months after this she met the
MI stranger, who said: "Madam, 1 want to thank
you for saving my life the day you told me to

of the Victims.
nW ASSOCIATED PRESS.
New York, Oct. ar.-Known as the
Caroline Miller, the steamer South Port
land, just wrecked on the Pacific coast
was seized II years ago by the federal
authorities in this port on suspicion of
being a filibuster.
She was boarded on the strength of a
report that the cargo carried was con
trabani,, consisting of munitions of war
for the insurgents in Venezuela, headed
by (;eneral Joaquin Crespo. The minister
from Venezuela insisted that Fracesco
(;onzales, as agent for Crespo, shipped the
war materials, but the government had
to recede from its position, and in April,
a189., a verdict of $60o was awarded
against the United States for illegally de
taining the ship.
Ctptain John O'Brien, known as "Dyna
mite," who achieved considerable fame as
blockade runner in Cuban waters, comn
manled the Miller.
Portland, "Ore., Oct. at.-The Portland
agent of the steamship company gives the

in the meantime the crew constructed,
impromptu rafts from the hatches, etc.,
for the purpose of saving the remainder
of the crew.
The vessel is supposed to have struck
on North Swash rock.
III launlching the boat they evidently
dumped the passengers and crew, as No.
I boat is still adrift without occupants.
No. a boat, in charge of Captain Mcin
tyre, landed at Port ()rford beach at 5:3o

This boat, manned by two survivors and
Port Orford men, put out in search of
the raft and succeeded in finding and
landing it at Port Orford, with the re
maining survivors, at ia:3o p, m.
Chief Engineer Ward, in charge of the
life raft, reports having seen an im-'
promptu raft containing six people after
the vessel had gone down and it is sup

ladies on board, are known to be among
the missing.
First Officer Bruce, who was on the
bridge at the time of the disaster, and
Chief Engineer Ward are given full credit

0oo and insured for $z5,ooo.
The cargo of wheat she was bringing
from Astoria was valued at $30,000. It
was fully covered by insurance.
The South Portland had visited Davy
Jones' locker twice before and has bumped
the high places of the ocean floor on va
rious occasions. On a latter occasion she
took fire while tied at the Seawall and
for her salvation had to be filled witkh
water until she foundered.
The South Portland began her career'
as the British steamer Dawn. She saile4
to America and entered the fruit trade
between New York and Baraeoa.
On her first voyage, however, she was
wrecked on ,Hogaty Reef on the north
coast of Cuba. She was afterward
raised, repaired, purchased by a syndi
cate, which secured for her, American
registered and changed her name to Caro-.
line Miller.
The Caroline Miller traded along the
Atlantic coast for some time and wal,
finally purchased by the Progress Steam
ship company, renamed South Portland
and brought out to this coast and hasr,
remained ever since. oel
A few weeks ago she changed owners.,

COURTNEY ESTATE
CASE CONTINUED
JUDGE MoCLERNAN CARRIES MAT
TER OVER UNTIL TUESDAY, AS
DEFENSE IS NOT READY.
THEY SEEK HIS REMOVAL
Courtney Heirs Want Dennis Courtney
Deprived of His Position of
Administrator.
The Courtney estate matter was up be
fore Judge .McClernan this morning for
a short time, but nothing was done in it
further than to continue the hearing till
next Tuesday.
In this case the devisees, or some of
them, of the late Thomas J. Courtney
are endeavoring to unseat the executor
,f,-the estate, Dennis C. Courtney, on the
ground that he has mismanaged the prop
erty and has been guilty of neglect and
other misfeasance in office.
The Daly Bank and Trust company and
the administrator's brother, Patrick, and
his sister, Mrs. Ann Whitty, are all en
gaged in an effort to remove him from
the office in the estate that he holds.
Not Ready for Hearing.
When the case was called this morning,
Attorney C. P. Connelly, who represents
l)ennis Courtney, addressed the court and
said that 'he was not ready for the hear
ing upon the objections made to his
client's report in the Courtney estate, and
upon the petitions for the removal of the
latter as administrator.
Attorneys Noon and Alley, who repre
sent some of the petitioners for Dennis
Courtney's removal, had told Mr. Con
nelly, he said, that they were not ready
to proceed with the hearing. That was
yesterday.
"T-his morning I was surprised to dis
cover that they were ready and wished
to proceed," said Mr. Connelly, "in view
of what they told me yesterday. Relying
upon the statement made then, I did not
prepare for the hearing, and I should like
to have time for that purpose."
Case Continued.
Then Mr. Connclly informed the court
that Attorney Charles R. Leonard would
appear in the case as associate counsel
with him, and that Mr. Leonard would be
busy in the United' States court and else
where on ,Monday next, but would be
free after that. So the court continued
the case till Tuesday next.
Air. Noon, who was present in court,
said that he had no objection to the con
tinuance, caid in explanation of why he
had not taken some step in the case, said:
"I was not able to find your honor yes
terday."
The court promptly returned: "Well,
that's funny; everybody else was able to
find me," and then made the order of
continuance.
T1he Daly Bank and Trust company is
re presented in the case by Attorney A. J.
('ampbell, and Patrick Courtney and Mrs.
\Whitty wishes to have Attorney T. F.
Hogan look after their interests. The
contest over the petition for the removal
of Dennis Courtney front the administra
torship and the objections to his account
in the estate may prove interesting.
The Petitioners.
( ,Patrick Courtney and Mary Ann Whitty,
brother and sister of Dennis C. Courtney,
have formerly asked that the latter be
removed from his position of executor of
the estate and have filed a petition in the
district court charging him with fraud,
Mnismanagement and embezzlement of the
estate.
It is only a short time since L. P. For
estell, acting as a referee in the estate
of T. F. Courtney, made a report clearing
Dennis C. Courtney of similar charges
made against him by the Daly Bank an4
Trust company.
When making the charges the banking
company said explicitly that Courtney had
failed to report to the court, as an asset
of the dead brother's estate, an interest
in a minin lease on the Colusa-Parrot
claim, valued at about $1,40o. The referee
excused tiis act of the ae6used by saying
that the litter did it for the purpose of
carrying out the wishes of the decedent,
who, during his lifetime, concealed the
fact that -hd-had an interest in the lease.
Charge Revived.
Mrs. Whitty and Patrick Courtney re
vive this charge against their brobthe an4
also say that his wife had possessiOn of
$,40oo belonging 'to he estate at the death
of T. C. Courtney, and has never ac
counted for any part of it, except $aS.
They add also that T. C. Court ey's in
terest in the lease mentioned was a two
thirds' interest and not one-third, as re
ported by the executor.
They ask that the latter be removed
and T. F. Hogan be appointed as admin
istrator of the estate in his place.
WATERPROOFING ROADS
Automobile owners and the driving pub
lic as well watch with interest an ex
periment made at Westfield, N. J., yester
day in the use of tar sprinkled over a ma
cadamized roadbed to abolish those twin
nuisances, dust and mud.
La France this scheme has been tried, it
is said, for some time with much satisfac
tion to the automobilists. The plan is sim
ple. The surface of the macadamized road
is cleared of dust and loose material. Then
boiling tar is sprinkled over the road light
ly and the screenings put back and rolled.
The tar sinks into the hard bed, binding
the stone anew and forming a new face on
top. It is claimed that it also waterproofs
the roadbed anu adds new life to it
Macadamised roads turn into dust and
blow away. Ruts are formed by constant
wear, in soft sppts and, when It rains a
pasty mud collects that .s just as objec
tionable as is the dust. The tar sprinkling
is intended to do away with all this.
In the experiment yesterday a piece of
an ordinary country road, :6 feet wide,
just outside of Westfield, N. J., was taken.
Two sections, about :,ooo feet long, were
used. On one the tar was run over the
roadbed with the dust and screenings just
as they lay. On the other, the road was
swept to the hard surface and then the
tar was applied, in both instances the re
sutilts secm.t to meet with the approval of
the road-making experts present.
The tar was put on in a very crude
fashion by hand from a big watering can.
It had penetrated nearly an inch after be
ing on the road only three nours, and in a
short time after it was laid there was no
tracking on it, and it did not splatter on
wheels driven over it.
H. W. Merkel, chief forester and con
structor of the zoological section of Bronx
Park, said he was very favorably im
pressed by what he saw, although the con
ditions were most unfavorable. He is go
ing to try it on the Bronx Park next week
on a section of East River walk, along the
banks of the Bronx. A section of Cropsey
avenue, Bath Beach, Brooklyn, is also be
ing experimented on, under the supervi
sion of Director of Highways Fort,
The cost of treating a road in this way
with tar is estimated at between $400 and
$Soo a mile for a road 16 feet wide. This
would require 3,ooo gallons of tar to the
mile.-New York Herald.
The Automobile and the Cart Horse.
A Swift Automobile once swept proudly
past a Tired Cart Horse.
"Hello, Old Stick-in-the-Mud I" it called,
tauntingly. "Back to the Boneyard, you
Dead One l"
So saying, it disappeared in a Cloud of
Steam.
A little farther down the Pike, the Tired
Cart Horse came upon the Swift Automo
bile, now Busted.
"Aha I" said the Steed, with a Horse
Laugh, "who is Stick-in-the-Mud now?
You are i,* :.i far from your Happy
Home."
While the Cart Horse was thinking up
other Biting Sarcasms of this Nature, they
hitched him up to the Damaged Vehicle
and he was compelled to yank it laborl
ously to the stable, 14 miles away on an
Up Grade.
This fable teaches us that it is Wrong
to gloat over the Downfall of our Ene
mies, until we are sure they can no longer
injure us.-Smart Set.

GIYES IN A POINT
CERTIFIES TO NAME OF AGENT IN
THE DAMAGE SUIT BROUGHT
BY BERT A.LLEY.
SHORT SESSION OF COURT
Judge H-arney Adjourns Until Friday,
When 4He Will Take Up an Order
Searing on Minnie Healy Case.
Judge Horney held a short session of his
department of the district court this morning
and transacted a little business.
In the $7,S00 damage suit of Bert Alley
against the Northern Pacific Railroad o90s
pony, argued upon a motion before him yesteE.
day, and in which he took the motion under
advisement, he was not required to render a
ruling, for the railroad company conceded all
that the plaintiff asked which rendered the
ruling unnecessary.
The motion asked the court to compel the
defendant to show its payroll to the plaintiff
so that he might learn the name of the station
agent at Sappiagton, Montana, who figures ip
the suit as the agent of the railroad, which is
charged with causing the latter to inflict an
injury upon Alley.
The Charge.
The agent is charged with beating and maul.
ing Alley, and thus vicariously causing the
