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.
