Kev. O. D. Taylor Discharged in the
heemann Case.
A paper received from Saginaw,
Michigan, bearing date of January 5th,
states that the case of the people vs
O.D.Taylor, of The Dalles, Oregon,
in which Joseph: Seemann was com
plainant, was brought to a close on the
4th when Judge. . Wilber dirrected a
verdict of "not guilty" to be returned.
The charge of the judge in ordering
a verdict of "not guilty' sets up the
facts in the case, which are, briefly
stated, that defendant sold six lots in
.North Dalles, Washington, to com
plainant, representing them to be free
from encumbrance, whereas four of
the lots were mortgaged. This charge
is not denied by defendant, but his
testimony was that he believed at
the time of the sale the lots were free
from encumbrance, and- that before
the case was begun the mortgage
thereon was paid, which removed the
charge . of intending to defraud or
cbeat Seeman, As. Seeman was not
uefrauded by any wrongful act, there
could have been no crime committed,
and the case must be dismissed.
. This Is said to be . the strongest case
against Taylor of the mapy indict
ments against him at Saginaw, hence
it is likely all others cases will be
dismissed, and Mr. Taylor" will walk
forth a free man.

them by Blakeley & Houghton in their

both in favor and ' in number of vol
umes, it became . evident 'that 'more
room would be heeded a place tbat
should be distinctively a library and
this has at last been realized, the
management having secured a room
next door to Mrs. Phillips' millinery
store, that has been tastefully fitted up
and supplied with all necessary con
veniences. Of late several hundred new books
nave oeen added to the list, and now
the library,. besides the two sections of
the Par id lee library, contains over
600 volumes Anions' .the books re
cently added to tha already good selec
tions are Sc-ibner's History of the
United States in five volumes, a' set
of 25 volumns American Statesmen,
set of American Men of Letters, Park
man's Historical Works, .'Andrew
History of the Last Quarter Century
a series of Famous Women in 21 vol
umes, a set of the Women of Colonial

tans of Holland 'England and America,
and Blaiu's Twenty years in congress
besides a large number of separate' vol
umeson science, literature, history and
the latest .standard novels. Scarcely
could a better collection of choice
works have been selected comprising
so limited . number of books than is
to be found on the shelves of the
library, and whatever the taste of the
reader may be, he can find something
to his liking among the books of this
