One day this week it was reported
by the Portland Board Of Trade that
Chas. Sweeny & Co., of Spokane
Falls, had failed with liabilities at
S75,OOO To make matters worse the
OregOHidH spread the report With
comments. The next day the same
paper made a clear retractiOn, but
that did not prevent the rumOr from
having its effect. Mr.. Sweeny was
confronted by his creditors Tuesday,
and in a short time he paid out S1O,-
900 and proved to all that the firm
is perfectly solvent. Within forty
eight hours Mr.. Sweeny had offers
ofassistance thataggregated SlG5, 900.
Fortunately he did not need the
backing. The report spreads from
an unknown source, but as it was
made public by mercantile agency,
the firm is determined to bring suit
for heavy damages. The report is
without foundation, and there are
few firms on the coast more firmly
established. We believe that the
instigator Of the rumOr desired to
strike a blow at Spokane Falls as
well as Chas. Sweeny q Co., but the
ruse has failed in both instances as
the city still holds its place as hav-
ing the most reliable mercantile
houses on the coast, and Sweeny &
Co. still live.
