The State Guard Association.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the proceedings of the Minnesota Ma
tiOnai Guard Association, which assem-.
bled in this city last Wednesday. With
out exaggeration, tlattery, or perversion
the delegation present were composed of
some OF the finest looking men in the
state, and as whole, they were I'm
intelligent body Of gentlemen.
After the proceedings of the day, a
reception was rendered the delegates at
Armory Hall by Co. "F." whose guests
they were while in the city, and it was
one of the most brilliant and enjoyable
occasions ever witnessed in the city
Firemen's hall was occupied as the re-
ception room, while the hall above was
brilliantly illuminated, warm, and all
In readiness for the dance. At 9:3O
Matthews quadrille band announced
that the time had arrived for the giddy
maze by striking up lively waltz tune,
and from that time until early morn
nothing was allowed TO interfere with
the joy of the occasion. The Hall was
filled to its extreme limits; everyone
was in the best Of spirits, and the uni
versal expression of all was that it was
a grand success.
The members of Co. "F." have much
to congratulate themselves over for the
very great enjoyment afforded their
guests, and for the easy manner in
which everything passed of.

. Assignment.

We are forced to announce this week
that Mr.. Geo. B. Owen has made an
assignment Of his property to D. B.
Oven, Esq, in ia vor Of his creditors.
This step has been made necessary
from complication of financial matters
dating back for tbs past two or three
years, and no one who is familiar with
the details will for a moment entertain
the thought that there is the least dis
position or intent to unjustly deny ev-
cry creditor his dues. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Owen took possess
ion Of the book store last June, for the
purpose of managing in person the bust
ness which he had for several months
previous been financially holding. He
hoped that by strict frugality and close
attention to business to be able to lift
the debt then incurred, but while he has
studied closely the one and practiced
the other, he found it physically impos.
sible to retrieve himself from pending
difficulties. Consequently he decided
to turn his property over to his credi
tors and give them all there is to he had.
Mr.. J. g. Fowler completed the inven-
tory Of stock last evening, but as foot
ings have not yet been made We are un-
able to give the assets, neither are we IN
possession of the liabilities, but there
Is probably enough property to pay
somewhere about so per cent. of lisbili.
ties.
We have it from pretty good authori-
ty that Mr.. Owen, by his business fail.
ure is financially wrecked, but being a
young man of steady habits, good
education, and possessed OF more than
average business ability, there is little
reason for him to be discouraged. This
country affords many opportunities for
. young man, and George will NO doubt
in little time regain what be has lost.

Victoria, August 27th.-Facts came to
the knowledge of the police one year ago
tina a Chinese merchant named Wang
Tmg, sentenced in December, 1882, to four
tea years Seryitude, was not guilty. The
officers have been quietly working the case
up, and are going to produce witnesses in
Court whose evidence will probably fasten
the guilt upon another person, and Wang
will probably obtain new trial.
