ROSEBUB.G, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1008. NO. 104. R Lewis N. Smith's $1,000 Dam age Case on Trial Today K. DUNCAN PAYS $100 FINE Verdict in TOlenberg Appeal Gives Clear County Road From Riddle to Myrtle Creek The damage suit of Lewis N. Smith against Ihe Southern Pacific Co. was on trial before a jury in the cir cuit court tills afternoon. Smith, who lives in North Koseburg, is su ing the railroad company for $1, 000 for injuries received by being struck by a switch engine while work ing in the yards here as a section hand in January, laud. He is rep resented by Atty. Albert Abraham. Counsel for the defense are Atty Lelter, of Portland, and Atty. Dexter Hire, of this city. In his complaint, Smith alleges negligence on part of the engineer, Fred L. Heard, also on part of the railroad company in not protecting the section crew, of which he wns a member, by a (lag. The defense of Ihe company is that Smith was given timely warning of the approach of the engine by the sounding of the whistle uud the bell and by the shout of the section foreman. H. Faulkner. In the collision, Smith's left ear, arm and breast were in jured, the ear seriously, according to expert testimony. The case will probably be given to the 'jury late tills afternoon or earlv this even ing. I-ong Standing Case Ends. Ill the case of H. Wollenberg vs. Douglas county, an appeal from a road assessment of the county court, a jury .Monday afternoon awarded plaintiff $300. The victory is a nega tive one for the plaintiff, however. Wollenberg had been granted dam- ; ages by tho county court in tho sum of $496 for the opening of a county road through the. C'hadwick place between Kiddle and Myrtle Creek. Ho hnd asked for $6,0110, so he ap pealed the case with the result that he has been allowed $196 less thun the road viewers' appraisement ac cepted by the county court. The rea son for this is that it developed at the trial in the circuit court that some of tho land which was apprais ed in favor of Mr. Wollenberg be longed either to J. J. Chadwlck or John 'Arzner. Dhen asked since whether he would appeal the case to the Su preme Court, Mr. Wollenberg re plied that he had not yet decided. If he does not carry the case any higher it will end a controversy of nearly 20 years' over an effort to establish a complete county rond be tween Myrtle Creek and Riddle. The stretch of road involved in this case has for 00 years past been a link in the rond between those two towns, but only as a gateway. About 20 years ago a fight was begun to have the gates abolished and convert the stretch into a unimpeded county road. Session after session of tho county court wrestled with the prob lem, which was fraught with many obstacles, and. finally at this late day it nppenrB that the gates will go, giving Myrtle Creek and Riddle a clear road between them. Echo of ('. K, Ijosh Tangle. Late this morning a Jury In the case of Win. Beaman vs. Thos. Owens return a Judgment of $240.67 for the nlnlnttnV This ense marks the ' ciose of all litigation In this county 1 growing ont of the failure two years ago of the C. IS. Loss Co., contrnct ; ors for the construction of the first i three miles of the Drain end of the I Drain-Coos Hay Railroad. Owens, ' as a sub-contractor, engaged Bea ' man to cut and furnish wood for the construction camps, but when the Loss Company went to the wall Owens suffered proportionally and could not pay Beaman. A multi plicity of lawsuits, including that of Beaman, followed, but in due time the Loss Company straightened out Its affairs and gradually satisfied nil of Its obligations, enabling Owens to settle also. Kino of $100 Collected. This morning saw the arraignment In court of Kelly Duncan, a Myrtle Creek druggist, on a charge of vio lating the local option law at that place. Duncan was Indicted last May and entered a plea of not guilty. His case was continued until the present term of court, but when he faced Judge Hamilton this time he changed Ilia plea to "guilty." Judge Hamilton imposed a fine of $100, which he paid. Up till 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the grand jury had returned no In dictments. The case of A. M. Lady vs. South ern Pacific Co., an action for dam ages for the failure of the defendant to deliver a suit case, containing var ious articles, consigned at Roseburg for delivery at Riddle, has been continued. LA GRANDE BANK FAILS. LA GRANDE, Or., Oct. 12. "Closed until the bank examiner ar rives" was the sign that greeted a would-be rush on the Farmers and Trades National Bank this morning. It is impossible to say now how the finances of the institution stand, but judging from the recently pub lished sworn statement there should be no' great shortage. The bank is incorporated for $60, 000, and thus far haB been conduct ing an apparently lucrative business. The suspension came as a decided shock to La Grande. La Grande Itself has a largo amount of money deposited and school and county funds nro also In the bank's vaults. Individual deposits ond certificates of deposit two weeks ago were $190,000 and the liabilities at that time were $279,000. How much the bank's resources have deteriorated since that time will only be known after the examiner gets here. Cashier Scriber Is in the midst of a nervous breakdown and refused to be interviewed.
