• h vt - ■■ The Coquille Valley Sentinel AN VOL. XXXV. INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER NO. 7. 9M.V- .. ■W " Eight Indicted— Six Not True Bills The grand jury for the February term of Circuit court submitted a partial report to Judge Brand last Friday, bringing in eight true bills, one a secret, and finding six not true ones. The grand jury indicted Lawrence Hatcher, of this city, for involuntary manslaughter, the accident which re sulted in the death of Adolph As- lacksen occurring in North Bend at an early hour Christmas morning. The statement was made at the time that Hatcher stopped the car within 39 feet after striking the victim, which indicates that he could not have been travelling at an excessive speed. Albert Clyde Riddle and Roderick Storm were indicted on non-support charges. Thomas Jonathan Gibbs, of River ton, was indicted for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a youth ful relative of his. H. B. Spraggins and W. H. Butler were indicted for maintaining a com mon nuisance in North Bend, the Sil ver Grill, and Spraggins was also in dicted on a gambling count. Those freed by the grand jury’s failure to find a true bill against them were Mike G. Sklorenko, W. W. Ed mondson, Lloyd Howard Lewis, A. E. Simpson, George Lewis Cook and Harold LeRoy Walsh. Test Of Picketing Regulation Law Due Tomorrow W » ■■ Junior Chamber County C. of C. Hears Jeub Speak At Empire Monday R. A. Jeub, assistant general man ager of Smith Wood-Products, Inc., was the main speaker on the pro gram of the Junior Chamber of Commerce Monday evening in the city hall. He pointed out interesting facts regarding the lumber industry and emphasized the importance of favorable legislation as a means of aiding the northwest. In particular he pointed out the need to secure federal legislation prohibiting the sale of peeler logs from the northwest for export to foreign countries where the logs were made into plywood and shipped back to United States to be sold on the local market at a price lower than our own plywood. Arrangements were also made for the group to go through the Smith Wood plant at the next meeting an March 13. Henry McCue will take the group through the mill that eto ning and anyone else desirous of see ing the major industry ot Coquille in operation is invited to be on hand at the City hall at that time. Work on the tennis court which the Junior chamber has secured for the city, will start this spring as soon as weather conditions settle. Prospects of a softball team in the city league this summer were dis- cusssed and it is very likely that such an entry will be sponsored by the group.
