Of Interest to Merchants.

The suit of A. S. Collins and Mrs. A.
S. Collins against H. Herbring of this
city, which was to come before the jury
Yesterday morning, was again postponed.
This suit against one of our oldest and
best. known dry goods merchants creates
considerable comment in commercial cir
cles. 1t appears that Mr. and Mrs. A. S.
Collins obtained under false pretenses
and promises at the end of the year 1891,
goods to the amount of 5000 from the
defendant; but instead of paying the bill
as agreed. they shortly afterwards left
the city by night and moved to California.
Last spring Mr.. Herbring learned that
all their household goods, ETC., were in
the hands of the sheriff of Wasco county,
and consequently placed second attach
ment upon the goods held by the sheriff.
A portion of these goods were sold last
December by the sheriff of Wasco county,

Razor-Edged Technlcallties.

The case of A. S. Collins vs. H. Her
bring was on trial in the Circuit Court to-
day, and the jury empanelled were E. w.
Trout, Geo. Joles, A. Bettingen, Jr, Geo.
w. Miller, S. B. Adams. James Harper,
w. c. Hansell, John Wood Argument
was had this morning on motion to
non-suit, made by defendants counsel,
which was taken under advisement until
afternoon, when the Judge overruled the
motion. The facts appear to be that the
plaintiff left this city owing Mr.. Herbring,
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1893-03-18

and he attached property for the debt.
After the sale of the attached property
the defendant attempts to set aside the
sale and sues Mr.. Herbring for damages,
claiming that the proceedings we're not
technically legal. The razor-edge tech
nicalities of law, we presume, will always
remain, but it works great hardships on
creditors, in many instances, to be de-
barred from collecting their just claims
from the commission of clerical error
or the misinterpretation of a dubious
statutory provision.
