TOO MUCH TALK
Plan of Portland Students For
Lark With Myrtle Point
' " Bridal Couple.
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 19. The
Oregonian says:
"When the students at the med
ical depaitment of the University of
Oregon next plan a lively charivari
on a former member of the college
they do not Intend to discuss their
plans on a Twenty-third-street car.
It has oven been intimated that any
member of the class discussing the
joking propensities of the embryo
medicos in streetcars will be prompt
ly placed on an official blacklist.
As they left the college Thursday
afternoon, several students perfect
ed their plans for kidnaping Dr. Les
lie D. Johnson, who was to marry
Miss Leah Drain at her home In As
toria that afternoon, on his arrival
in Portland with his bride late tho
same night. The students had no
Idea that the quiet-looking man who
was so Interested In the Joke was W.
P. LIllIs, special agent of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Com
pany and a brother-in-law of the
bride they were planning to surprise.
So when a strong force of students
waited at Union Depot for the happy
fcouple Thursday night they were
sadly 'disappointed, for Mr. LIllls
had used the wire to advantage.
"In place of Dr. and Mrs. John
son, a lady friend, living in Port
land, was the only member of the
party tho studentB were able to rec
ognizo. Believing that the doctor
and his wife wore in disguise, this
lady was subjected by the students
to all the questioning tortures of tho
Inquisition and a rigorous espionage
was kept on her actions until she
reached her residence.
j ' "Dr. and Mrs. Johnson drove to
! Seaside Thursday and camo 'to Port
hand yesterday morning, getting off
the train at Llnnton and then driv
ing to Portland, to avoid any student
conspiracies at the depot. Later in
tho day they took the train from a
suburban point for Roseburg, en
route for Myrtle Point, where they
will reside.
"Dr. Johnson Js well-known In
Portland. He graduated this year
from the University of Oregon at the
head of his class. Ho was the leader
of many class pranks himself and
the students are much chagrined
that they, were unablo to "get even."
This is the second streak of bad
luck that the students havo experi
enced, the sophomore class recently
making a conspicuous failure of its
endeavors to Initiate the freshmen,"
J. THORBURN DOSS MUST SERVE
FIVE YEARS
Serious Charges Made Against
Assignee In Old
Failure.
An echo of the Courteney Lumber
Company's failure a few years ago
was heard yesterday when argu
ments on a demurrer In the case of
the Oregon Timber Cruslng Com
pany vs. A. A. Courteney, W. F. Mat
thews and Waldcmar Seton were
heard by Judge Cpke In Coquille.
The suit is one Instituted by several
creditors and really charges Mat
thews and Seton with collusion to
keep the creditors' other than them
selves from sharing In the proceeds
derived of the bankrupt concern.
Mr. Matthews Is the asslgneo of
the company. Originally he held a
mortgage against the- concern for
$20,000 and this he transferred to
Waldemar Seton. The latter fore
closed the mortgage and Matthews
Instead of objecting or seeing that
the other creditors wero protected,
permitted the property to bo sold and
the proceeds to go to satisfy the
mortgage only.
Judge Coke granted further time
to present additional arguments
the matter.
Decide lloeck Case.
Judge Coke in the case of
Marshfleld Hardware Company
in
tho
vs.
the Coos Bny Coal and Lumber
Company and Henry Hoeck held
that the latter is not responsible for
the claims against the Coos Bay Coal
and Lumber Company, even though
he verbally promised to stand good
for them. The decision Is of con
siderable interest owing to the many
creditors being left holding the sack
as a result of the entanglements that
concern became involved In a year
ago.
The judgment obtained by Claude
Nasburg against tho Title Guarantee
and Abstract Company In Justice
Court sometime ago was sustained.
Motion is Argued.
Tho motion for a new trial of tho
suit of F. K. Gettlns vs. Patrick Hon
nessey was argued before Judgo
Coke in Coquille yesterday by J. D.
Goss, Patrick Hennessey's attorney
and Judge Sehlbrede, Mr. Gettlns'
attorney. At tho last term of court,
Gettlns secured a verdict against
Hennessey and now a new trial Is
asked on the ground that tho Jury
did not comply with the court's In
struction iu finding their verdict.
The case is the outgrowth of M. N.
Knuppenberg's operations on tho
Bay, Mr. Gottlns having been on
gaged by him to do some survey
ing. Knuppenberg did not pay
him and ho suod Honnossey for
tho pay on the ground that
Mr. Hennessey was a member of Mr.
Knuppcnberg'B company or at least
had allowed his name to bo fco used,
Mr. Hennessey denied that ho wub
in any way associated with Mr.
Knuppenberg and says tho lattor's
use of his namo was without his
consent.
