Wood of Sweetland died very suddenly at that place on Tuesday, the 28th ultimo. He had gone out that morning to cut some wood for fuel, leaving things ready forthe noon meal, andin the forenoon was found lying dead in the road near P. Lahay’s ranch, not far from Sweetland. When found his body was still warm. Evidently he had been taken sick suddenly and tried to get to his house. He ever, a8 the San Juan parties are seekEastern claimants.

Frazier stated. these facts tw Mr. Stidger and was advised ta write to New York from which State he came, and try toaccertain the whereaboute_ of’ those relatives. Finally Frazier placed the whole matter in charge of Stidger who is a member of an “ Attorneys’ Commercial Union.” The lawyer. wrote toH. D. McBurney, the -union’s “representative at New York, and made a full statement of the case. This was the first information McBurney had of the matter. Numerous letters. on the subject passed between the two. One letter from Stidger told McBurney. how Westerfield had related lived with -a sister named Katherine Hull, the wife of James Hull, and from there ran away to sea. Upon this data McBurney traced out the whereabouts of the Hulls, who are both living, and ultimately discovered the whole family of the deceased. When the:time came for the claimantsto appear in the Superior Court Mr. Stidger laid the whole circumstances before P. F. Simonds of this city and retained him as an attorney in the case. Mr. Simonds entered legal scumen and prepared all the claim ants, also some to be attended to at Cincinuatti, Obio. He also attended to the making out of all the other necessary documents. In the latter part of last Novembe the case was tried before Judge Walling. Messrs. Caldwell & Little ably represented the. North San Juan claimants, the opposition being represented by Messrs, Simonds and Dibble and Stidger. J. C. McBurney, the father of the New York attorney, had ceme to this city as the agent of the Eastera claimants and was present at the hearing. The trial lasted a week. A great mass of evidence was introduced on both sides, The result—a judgment in favor of the Easterners—is well known. The case is not ended, hov.~ ing a new trial. The revelations at the trial as to how the sinuous wanderings of the late Westerfield were traced out proved deeply interesting. His movements had been followed from the time he ran away from his sister’s house in New York city.

As it is, everybody is still ina more or less dazed condition, wondering when the “lightning”-witl strike next; McGinty plunged to the bottom, of jie. The country from North Bloomfield down the Ridge has ‘stffered many thousand dollars damage by the crushing-of houres; barns; shops; fences and loss of stock,on account of the late errible snowstorm.

No blame attaches to anybody but, the “clerk of the weather.”’ _ The puvlic schools at North San Juan will close about the first of Apri!. Rumor has it that the next term at North San Juan will see but one school, as it is claimed theré will not be pupils enough to justify keeping open two schools. The people in North San Juan are by.no meana satisfied with the way the schools” have been run, and if there is to be but one they proposeto have anumber one teacher, a male being preferred.

Wood of Sweetland died very suddenly at that place on Tuesday, the 28th ultimo. He had gone out that morning to cut some wood for fuel, leaving things ready forthe noon meal, andin the forenoon was found lying dead in the road near P. Lahay’s ranch, not far from Sweetland. When found his body was still warm. Evidently he had been taken sick suddenly and tried to get to his house. He ever, a8 the San Juan parties are seekEastern claimants.

Frazier stated. these facts tw Mr. Stidger and was advised ta write to New York from which State he came, and try toaccertain the whereaboute_ of’ those relatives. Finally Frazier placed the whole matter in charge of Stidger who is a member of an “ Attorneys’ Commercial Union.” The lawyer. wrote toH. D. McBurney, the -union’s “representative at New York, and made a full statement of the case. This was the first information McBurney had of the matter. Numerous letters. on the subject passed between the two. One letter from Stidger told McBurney. how Westerfield had related lived with -a sister named Katherine Hull, the wife of James Hull, and from there ran away to sea. Upon this data McBurney traced out the whereabouts of the Hulls, who are both living, and ultimately discovered the whole family of the deceased. When the:time came for the claimantsto appear in the Superior Court Mr. Stidger laid the whole circumstances before P. F. Simonds of this city and retained him as an attorney in the case. Mr. Simonds entered legal scumen and prepared all the claim ants, also some to be attended to at Cincinuatti, Obio. He also attended to the making out of all the other necessary documents. In the latter part of last Novembe the case was tried before Judge Walling. Messrs. Caldwell & Little ably represented the. North San Juan claimants, the opposition being represented by Messrs, Simonds and Dibble and Stidger. J. C. McBurney, the father of the New York attorney, had ceme to this city as the agent of the Eastera claimants and was present at the hearing. The trial lasted a week. A great mass of evidence was introduced on both sides, The result—a judgment in favor of the Easterners—is well known. The case is not ended, hov.~ ing a new trial. The revelations at the trial as to how the sinuous wanderings of the late Westerfield were traced out proved deeply interesting. His movements had been followed from the time he ran away from his sister’s house in New York city.

The country from North Bloomfield down the Ridge has ‘stffered many thousand dollars damage by the crushing-of houres; barns; shops; fences and loss of stock,on account of the late errible snowstorm.

No blame attaches to anybody but, the “clerk of the weather.”’ _ The puvlic schools at North San Juan will close about the first of Apri!. Rumor has it that the next term at North San Juan will see but one school, as it is claimed theré will not be pupils enough to justify keeping open two schools.
