Judge Barley Imponei 2000 Davi Is Jail
or $4,000 Fine, Saturday
R. C. Gossman, of North Plains,
Saturday pleaded guilty to the
theft of four horses and was
fined $1,000 or 2,000 days in jail
by Judge Bagley, of the Circuit
Court. Gossman last month
stole four horses and sold them
in Portland. He rustled two fine
animals from John Hanley, and
one from Jacob Jacky and one
from Henry Keenon, taking all
of them from a pasture on the
Thos. Otchins place, two miles
East of North Plains. Gossman
sold the horses to a Portland
horseman and to a horse buyer
for the government The Han
ley animals were a team of fine
lour-four-olds, and while he sold
them for a small sum they were
worth at least $500 of any man's
money. All of the stolen horses
were recovered and returned to
their owners by Sheriff Reeves.
Attorney H. T; Bagley, who de
fended Gossman, advised his
client to plead guilty as there
was no chance of his getting by
with the rough work. Gossman,
who is well-to do, negotitated a
loan on an $8,000 mortgage on
'ortland real estate and paid
2,500 into treasury and was pa
roled on the $1,500 and jail sen
tence provided he prove himself
a la abiding citizen hereafter.
Gossman went home Saturday
afternoon feeling as happy as a
man on his honeymoon. He is
well fixed in this world's goods
and it is said that his $3,000
mortgage is as good as wheat in
Chicago. Besides this personal
property Gossman has consider
able realty against which there
is no debt. Why he turned thief
is a mystery except that he pos
sibly thought he could get by
with his theft. For some time he
tred to work the insanity dodge.
In any event Gossman has en
riched the county treasury
$2,500 at an expense to the coun
ty of about $125.
If Gossman does not conduct
himself properly towards his
neighbors at old Glencoe, near
North Plains, he will have to
come in and serve out 7ou jail
days which crowds two years
pretty closely.

THE HILLSbORO NATIONAL
Bank Takes Progressive Steps
In Regard to Publicity
A series of educational talks on
banking and its relation to the
financial welfare of business,
household and individual, will
begin shortly in this paper over
the signature of The Hillsboro
National Bank.
The object aimed at, said W.
H. Wehrung, president of that
institution, is to acquaint the
public with the many facilities
of the modern bank, and to dem
onstrate the uses of these. They
expect also to bring out in detail
the various services available. ZZ
Banking knowledge in respect
to receipts and disbusements
should be known to every man
and woman, and, it plays Uo
important a part in the welfare
of all, to be neglected even in
the early training of every bny
and girl. Aside from the com
mon usage of banking service,
these articles will treat of the
advantages to be gained through
a banking connection, as well as
the principles and motives in
volved in the establishment and
maintenance of a bank account..
The man or woman of large
financial affairs understands,
and will be found utilizing the
services of their bank as an aid,
as well as safeguard and con
venience. But to the many, the
value of a banking connection
comes only through experience
or dire necessity. And.it is to
familiarize the people with these
necessary features before that
"eleventh hour" time, that this
campaign is inaugurated.
Each article will carry a mes
sage on finance or business
which will be found profitable as
well as interesting to every man,
woman and child.
