O. B. Hurd, who has Wen in
town for some time awaiting the
arrival of the Bertha, left Mondav
to join his brother, who is moving
their outfit along. Mr. Hurd had
some hose on the wrecked boat and
was much delayed by waiting for it.
On the arrival of the vessel, he
found that only a portion of the
hose was ulxatrd and that there
was a salvage bill of 30 per cent of
the original cost to 1m- paid. Al
though he considered this an un
just charge, he was forced on ac
count of lack of time to pay the
hill. His only recourse is to ship
hereafter with a company that will
try to do the square thing by the
men who have made it possihle
for a steamship line to do a paying
business here.
