IN CIRCUIT COURT
Two Penil Sentences Passed Mere
Yesterday.
FOUCE COMMISSION CASE

Decision Tfll Next Week
Civil Matters Taken Up.
The principle event in yesterday's ses
sion of the Circuit Court, was the ar
raignment, pies and sentence of Paul
Dearing, the young man from Chinook,
charged with obtaining money under
lale pretends here lust fall, by pass
ing a worthless check upon a well
known saloon man of this city. He
entered a plea of guilty, and hU at
torney, Frank Spittle, made a plea for
av mild sentence in view of the meagre
Bess of the amount involved and tin pre
vious good record of the prisoner; but
Judge McBride imposed a sentence of
tkree and one half years in the peni
tentiary and Dearing received it smiling
ly. He will be taken to Salem, along
with Gust Anderson who also pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to three years
lor robbery, as soon as posible.
In the ease of Mi-Arthur ver-us Evan
son an order confirming sale was en
tered; and in the case of Scholfield
versus Dell a default judgment was
taken.
Attorney Harrison Allen, G. C. Ful

State of Oregon on the relation of J. H.

Attorney A. M. Smith and F. .'. Tay
lor appeared for the defense, in the ar
gument upon the demurrer filed by the
defense. The court took the matter
under advertisement and will prolxiMy
render a decision sometime next week;
and it is thought the ruling so made
will be practically decisive of the issue
at bar. The issue at stuke is the ac
tual status of a police commissioner;
whether he i a public officer of the city
under tlw stutute denominating officers,
or whether he is beyond the opera
tion of this conclusion and merely a
charter agent of the municipality.
In the matter of Bricthaupt versus
Itriethaupt. an order of default was en
tered, and in the case of Young versus
the Columbia Land A Investment Com
pany, the releree was dreeted to return
the evidence in ten davs fnun date.
The court then adjourned and Judge
Mcliride left for Portland, last night,
and will preside on the department
lieneh, in place of Judge Fraser, today,
returning here for the oening of court
on Mnndav morning next.
