The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1892-02-12


: experience will be OF interest to every
body, hence we give the following plain
facts from the Guard. Late Saturday
afternoon, q mortgage was placed on the
Eugene Packing and Canning Company 3
buildings, plant and personal property
D OF all description for $i7, 200, by its Off
. GERS, the amount being due 10 the follow
I ing parties for money loaned: Lane
|, County bank, &7,bS6 First National
band, $4,000; Il X Luckey, $4,000; Il l.
, Chambers, 81 1000; II Friendly, $1,000 (;
: RIM Day, $1,000; interest due ola.
/, Total, $lT 200. The claims were assigned
, 10 Joel Ware and the mortgage taken In
his name for the benefit OF the creditors.
, Besides the above amount, the company
: will owe reasonable attorney fee, and
about 81 800 IN small amounts, which Is
unsecured. The assets Of the company
consist OF It's buildings, grounds, plant
and tin cans worth $4,000, tables,
amounting to al 900, boxes worth Sl60
and 200 cases of fruit OF tho lower grades
which Is in Portland and Chicago for
sale. II will be seen at glance that the
company has virtually lost It's entire
capital Of $40 900, the first year OF its ex-
istence, and will necessarily be compelled
to retire from business This is alike
disastrous to the company, town and
county. This has been hard year on
canneries all over the coast, numbers OF
them being swept out OF existence on
account OF the low price obtainahle for
canned goods.
"CAPr. SWIFT" comes to the Opera
House Thursday evening. OF Mr. For
rests conception OF the part the Newark
Evening News OF Sept Srd says: "Capt
Swift" the play produced nc Miners
Theater last night, ranks with "Jim the
Penman." There are no suggestions of
imitation or similarity in detail between
them, but both deal with the slow wind
ing OF the web OF evidence about guilty
man, and with the final and inevitable
discovery OF their crimes. Captain
Swift is q sort -of an Australian Jesse
James,who fees to England and becomes
n visitor at the home OF his own mother,
to save whose reputation he had been
in infancy taken from her arms and given
TO the care OF strangers. He wins the
love OF n young girl, but his identity as
the Australian outlaw is suspected at
once by a visitor who had looked into
the muzzle OF Captain Swiits revolver in
the bush, and he is recognized also by
| his foster brother, n servant in the house.
Finally the mother discovers tleir rela-
tionship, and in her self-condemnation
and love OF him tells him Of il. Torn by
contending emotions, the man hesitates
TO flee till dangers thicAen around him
and it is too late. vainly mother, sweet
heart and friend try to save him, and at
the last he che oses death rather than his
own arrest and the revelation by his
mother to her husband OF her relation
ship TO him. Arthur Forrest made
handsome, dashing Captain Swift, and
.a1 - s.,Ia
ment, and often with notable force OF
power.
A SAILOR Boy. This nohn a young
man In full sailor uniform such as Is worn
on al u s steamers, arrived In Albany
from Yaquina Bay, having come TO that
city on the Willamette Valley, on HE way
from San Francisco 10 walla WRlla. On
his cap were the words "U 5 S Balti-
more" That would attract attention any
way ,h.se days, that being the steamer
the sailors ION which had ocen attacked In
Valparaiso, oser which so much smoke
was caused. A DEMocRAr man met the
young man just as he was starting to board
the Portland train lie said that he lei, !
Chill six week ago, that affairs looked |
pretty stormy there for awhile. lie re-
ported Chilians generally down on Egan I
and that they were anxious for his recall, |
which simply confirms general reports. i
Already our people are full of Chilian' af- |
fairs and most of them tired of II; but |
real live man direct from the "seat of war" |
Is not seen every day, hence the interest |
taken IN this particular sailor boy, whose /
general appearance stamped him as being 1
genuine, but what hr Is doing on his way |
TO walla Walls is an enigma.
A GUN AccIDRNr.--Another man has |
been shot without knowing how Il hap
pened. The Statesman says: Yesterday |
W w Nichols, who lives just this side OF |
Howell prairie In the timber, near Dick /
Swarts' mill, accidentally discharged /
gun he was handling and as a result lost !
his right eye and hand. Mr. Nichols had 4
been hunting and was standing talking |
with some friends. He held the loaded 1
shotgun In his hands and by some means !
the weapon was discharged lie does not |
know how II happened, but Il IL supposed /
he may have touched the trigger with his |
foot, or that stick may have touched It. !
The shot struck him in the right hand |
Shattering the wrist. II also filed his |
arm and the right side of his face with !
shot. His right eye was also struck and
he has lost the sight of 1t.
STILL MIssrNG.-E r Lucky, Of Eu-
gene, is still missing. Tte Guard says
there are these theories. Ist, that he has
been murdered and robbed, as he carried
handsome gold watch and wore 4 fhc
diamond ring, and was known to be a
man of wealth; I'D, that he has come
Temporarily deranged and wandered
away. He has been III with the grip for
the past month and had no. yet entirely
recovered; 81, that he left the country to
avoid meeting his creditors Evidently
the last theory prevails IN Eugene for an
attachment was made on his property
| Saturday as follows: First. National Bank,
| $4,6S5; Eugene National Bank. $7.oso;
Lane County Bank, $3,o4s; F B Dunn,
$3.50; total, SIs,333 and II Is reported he
owes considerable besides.
GETTING MIxED.-The following from
the Woodburn Independent shows how
frightfully an item can get mixed by few
miles travel: "Amos Strong, II Massey
and MIR Marsh, of Salem, own the Red
Bull mine, located in the Santian district.
They have tested some OF the ore at an ex
pense of $3.50 1t Yielded S23 90, Ieav-
ing net profit OF $2Lso'. The facts are
that 26X tons Of ore were run through the
Albany Milling & Milling Co.'S mill at an
expense Of $l5o. II yielded several hun
cred dollars, just how much Is yet private,
enough, though so that the owners have
decided to put in mill as soon as possible
this spring.
Thar SAILOR BoY.-Yesterday we gave.
an account OF sailor boy passing
through Albany on his way to Walla
Walla, with ~ Baltimore" on his
cap. We learn some interesting facts in
connection with the incident. The young
man was Clyde Dannals. His mother,
Mrs Dannals, q widow, resides in Walla
Walla, and has been visiting her cousin,
Mr. James Elkins, near this city for sew
eral days, and is here now. She will
probably leave tomorrow for home.
