Verdenal, the well-known San Francisco attorney, passed away in Tucson, Ariz., on Sunday night, his death being due'to a sudden attack of pneumonia.

UNCLE SAM"WATCHING BIG NORTHERN LINES Government Takes a Hand in Battle Over Rights of of Way. VANCOQUVER, Feb. 12.—From informa- tion received to-day from a reliable source, it appears that the United States Government is taking a hand in the con- tention between rival railroad companies over the right of way down the north bank of the Columbia River, which in the opinion of railroad officials here will have important bearing on the result of the litigation now before the courts of this State. The Secretary of the Interior has directed the Register and Recefver of the Vancouver Land Office to call on the Columbia Valiey Railroad Company to show cause why their rights of way over public lands should not be forfeited for failure to construct a road within the time limited by law. In 1839 the Columbla Valley Company filed papers under an act of Congress of March 3, 187, which gave them a right of way over all the lands then a part of the public domain. The law provides, however, that any company claiming ben- efit under this act must construct a rail- road line within five years. The instrue- tions of the Secretary of the Interfor are that unless proof of construction is made suit be instituted in the name of the United States to adjudge forfeiture. The Columbia Valley Company has mever con- structed any railroad. WOUNDED MAN ADMITS HE FELL UPON KNIFE Confession Clears Sonomaite Acecused of Wielding ‘Weapon.
