The case of the Bank of British Columbia
VS.. j. w. McGrew, came up for trial before
Judge Deadly last Friday. This case differs
in some material respects from the George
Marshal case tried some time since. Mr..
McGrew was resident of Polk county, and
was not in Portland until after the wheat
was destroyed, and the bank in the mean
time had instructed Leven to save the
wheat. Mr.. McGrew's theory is that the
bank, as pledged, ought to sustain the loss

A SUCCESSFUL MANA short time since
Studebaker, president of the celebrated
Studebaker Bros. Manufacturing Company
of South Bend. Indiana. We have seldom,
if ever. met stranger who left SO favorable
in the city short time, bnt since his de-
parture we have learned little of his early
history, which owing to the prominant posi-
tion he now occupies in the business world
might not be uninteresting to our readers.
When quite young man he commenced
life as school teacher, but only taught one
term and left that business for the black
smiths forge, connecting with his black
smith shop repair wagon shop conducted
by his brother, and from this small shop
they sent out wagons to their immediate
neighbors and soon gained local notoriety,
and one by one they added to their force Of
hands in the shop until they now own one
of the largest factories in the world, en-
ploying over one thousand men, and send
ing their wagons and carriages all over the
universe. There are now in the business
four brothers. 1t might not be inappro-
pirate to state that our old friends Lyra
Smith, of this county was a Icholar of Mr..
Studebaker when school teacher. Mr.
s. well remembered the fact and expressed
much regret that he did not get to see his
former pupil while in this city.

Subscriptions towards opening the road its
entire length to the coast have begun to
come in in a way that is truly gratifying to
the parties that have taken such great inter
est in having this portion of Lane county
opeI ed up for settlement. In addition tc
the organization at this place, similar eff.
fort is being made by the settlers near the
mouth of the river, having for its object the
opening of the road. As soon as the weather
will permit, men will be put to work cutting
away the brush and grading road, and in
a few months a large area of land will be
within the reach of settlers.

SUPPOSED SUIcIDE.-About four weeks
ago a man went into Silverton and remained
for short time. giving his name as John
Anderson. He left town in the evening,
and when asked where he vas going, re.
piled that he was going to find good place
to die. Nothing more was heard of him and
the circumstance was forgotten. Last Sat
urday moining, Mr.. VIM. Mosier, living
about six miles northeast Of Silverton, went
out into the woods to get load of cord
wood. About fifty yards from the main
road he discovered the body of a man hang
ing from log He Immediately went to
Silverton and informed Justice Tuggle, who
went to the scene of the tragedy. Arriving
there, he summoned a jury, who rendered a
verdict that the deceased had come to his
death by committing suicide. The man
had been hanging for about four weeks, and
the lower half of his body, as far as could
be reached, had been eaten away by hogs.
The deceased had on very good suit of
clothes, and in his pockets were found a
silver watch and chain, $75 As in money and
checks ON Portland banks for ST, 400. Sew
eral letters, written in the German and
Danish languages, found in his pockets,
showed that he had committed some fearful
crime and was a fugitive from justice.
