Judge Kills Activists' Lawsuit

A federal judge has dismissed a police brutality lawsuit by demonstrators whose eyes had been swabbed with pepper spray.

The judge cancelled a retrial set for Nov. 16 by ruling use of pepper spray to be reasonable force since it caused only "transient pain" without significant risk qf injury and was a justifiable way to resolve the nine protesters' invasion of private property, obstruction of business and hindrance of law enforcement. A jury deadlocked in the initial trial against Eureka and Humboldt County, Ca., officers.

During protests last fall at Pacific Lumber Co.'s Scotia headquarters, a logging site and Rep. Frank Riggs' Eureka office, deputies and police warned the activists, then applied cotton swabs doused in pepper spray to the corners of their eyes.

ldaho Firm Moves To G-P Site

Central Idaho Building Supply has added 5,000 sq. ft. to its operations by relocating to the site of Georgia-Pacific's former Boise, Id., distribution center.

The site consists of a four-acre and an eight-acre parcel separated by railroad tracks. On the four-acre segment, Central Idaho Building Supply shares an 80,000-sq. ft. warehouse/office building with two other tenants.

On the larger segment, Georgia-Pacific is now leasing a 2.5-acre,16,500-sq. ft. industrial space as a reload facility. G-P had sold the entire site earlier in the year, before deciding to keep a scaled down presence in the area (see May, p. l8).
