to Arrest Accused.
The grand jury last night returned
an indictment In the circuit court
charging F. W. Jennings, of Port
land, with shooting and seriously in
juring a valuable dog belonging to
Ike Gervnis, who lives near Reston.
It appears that Jennings and a
party of Portland friends were en
joying' a hunt at Reston last summer,
when one of their number challeng
ed Jennings to shoot the dog. To
Illustrate his marksmanship, Jen
nings took aim and fired. 'The bul
let struck the dog with the result
that the animal will be maimed for
life.
Since that time an effort has been
made to settle the case through a
monetary consideration, but as yet
tne parties involved have failed to
reach an agreement.
To bring the matter to a focus
i Gervais appeared before the grand
i-jury, and an Indictment against Jen
nings followed.

A complete Inventory of the liabil
ities and assets of T. it. Sheridau and
wife, who yesterday made a volun
tary assignment in favor of the form
er's many creditors in this vicinity
shows that his liabilities will total
something over $152,000, while the
assets will probably not 'reach a to
tal or $30,000, busing a settlement
on these figures, after deducting the
expenses Incurred in effecting a set
tlement of the assignment, it does
not appear that the creditors will re
ceive over IB cents on the dollar.
inspection of the liabilities shows
that the First A'atlonul Bank, of
Portland, will be the heaviest loser,
Mr. Snerldan having owed that insti
tution something over $20,000. In
many instances the claims are for
borrowed money, notes having been
executed by Mr. Sheridan in favor
of the loaners. f ollowing tne as
aignment these notes are valueless.
The assets set out by Mr. Sheridan
include a few parcels of land, from
wh ch mav be realized several thous
and dollars. Most of the personal
property assigned by Mr. Sheridan
includes Block In various mines and
milling companies and are considered
of little value.
All attachments levied on property
of Mr. Sheridan within four months
prior to the assignment nre rendered
void, and consequently tnose respon
sible for the attachments are without
legal redress.

OtlM'r Business.
Tho members, of the Roseburg
Morchants Association held a very
enthuslnstlc meeting nt the Roseburg
Commercial Club rooms last evening,
at which time a number of Import
ant matters were discussed.
Ono subject, which was consider
ed at some length was the contem
plated action or the Oregon Indus
trial Welfare commission In fixing
the minimum wage, maximum hours,
and the latest hour which a woman
or minor may be compelled to work.
Acting Secretary Boom reported
that he had received a letter from
Mr. Merrick, secretary of the Ore
gon, Retail Merchants Association, at
Portland, asking for an expression
of the merchants of DouglaB county
relative to their attltudo in the pro
position. The merchants of Roseburg are In
different as to the maximum hours
whtch a woman or minor may work
but protest against the contemplated
action of fixing the latest hour which
a woinun or minor may work at six
or even eight o'clock lit the evening.
Local merchants argue that they
have made a practice of 'keeping
their respective establishments op
en, until nine o'clock on Saturday
nights, and will continue to do so re
gardless of any nctlon that mny be
taken by the industrial commission.
