The plan suggests that the number to be drawn In a county be appor tioned among the practicing attor neys of that county, on the theory that they are better qualified to se lect capable and intelligent men for jury service. At the same time, at torneys will not be permitted to In clude in their selections the names of any of their clients.

' Salem Salem ofBcers are confi dent that the man arrested at the fail grounds Friday ls the man who shot Dr. C. H. Robertson earlier in the evening. Sheriff Minto has discovered fur ther evidence which points toward the arrested man as the assailant of Dr. Roberston and other evidence which almost proves that this man made the murderous assault upon Frank Guild in Barnes' store a week ago. Dr. Robertson was held up and shot at 8 o'clock Friday night by a highwayman wearing a black mask covering all of his face below the eyes. The highwayman fired two shots, only one taking effect. The bullet passed entirely through Rob ertson s body and has not bean found. Attending physicians say that fr.

Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Independence and Monmouth Railway Conrpany will be held aj; the Independence National Bank in Inde pendence, Oregon, at 10 o'clock a. m., on Thursday, the 31st day of Decem ber, A. D. 1908, for the purpose -of electing officers and such other busi ness as may properly come before Mid meeting. D. W. SEARS, 25-30 Secretary. Idcnt of the cashier. The cashier tried to stammer out a better excuse thnn I had given and. failing, flnully blurted: "And what brought you, for the mat ter of that?" "I? I often come to the bank before going to bed to see that all ls safe. Sometimes I get up at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, come here, look around and go home. Tonight, having so much currency ln the safe, I was especially anxious." "Having come first," I said, "on tha same errand, I presume I am enugbt In the act" , "What were you opening the vault for?" asked the cashier. "Couldn't you see that It hadn't been tampered with?" I could see that It hadn't been blown open, but I couldn't see that the lock hadn't been picked or that some one knowing the combination hadn't opened it and taken the funds." "Gentlemen," said the president, "we will have a look at the money and go home." I was directed to open the safe. The bills were found In piles as they bad been left in the afternoon, and the safe was closed, and we separated. The next day I was called before the president for an examination, which lasted two hours, and when I came out of his private office I saw the cashier go ln, as I inferred, for a similar pur pose. Notwithstanding that I showed a clean record, the president and cashier after consultation decided to dismiss me, I appealed to the board of directors. giving them a statement of the facts. After a meeting for consultation the board gave out a decision that the meeting of the three in the bank was a coincidence, that there was no guilt at tached to any one of us, but, ither, we were all to be commended for our watchfulness. The only good this did me was that I retained my position. I was still un der suspicion. This Was fostered by rtie cashier, who, I supposed, won over the president to his views. Neverthe less the president acquiesced in the de cision of the board and exonerated me. It was but a few weeks after all this happened that we were startled at an announcement that the president had resigned and the cashier had been pro moted to the vacant position. I was smarting under what I considered a blow, for. since the cashier considered me guilty of an intent to rob the bank, he would likely put me out ln time, when the new president Informed me that I bad been promoted to succeed him as cashier. I was thunderstruck. He did not re fer to the past, and I went about my new duties in ignorance of what had bappened to change the situation.
