NOT A BAD BARGAIN.
=. A. Kern Should Be Satisfied With
His Drugstore.

fresioing Judge Sanderson has rendered
Juagment in favor of the defendant in the suit
ol Kern VS.. Oestig and others.
1he suit was about the purchase OF the drug
STORE at the corner of Market and Stockton
streets by e. A. Kern from the defendants, Paul
oesiig and George l.. Carroll. Kern paid $685.
400 for the store, and claimed that be did so on
the fendants' representation that the yearly
receipts averaged S52 900 and the mel profits
amounted to $500 to $500 a month. On
looking little more closely Into matters Kern
discovered that the yearly receipts only came TO
s44. 600 and the net profits averaged 5000 TO
Sl10O. Kern then brought suit against the
vendors 10 recover $4,000 damages for loss
sustained by reason of the defendants willful
Misrepresentation.
lu delivering his opinion Judge Sanderson re-
marked that In order TO obtain damages 1t was
necessary 10 prove detriment or loss, aud such
did not appear the case in the instance at hand.
Kern had admitted in his complaint that the
stock. good Will, etc, of the store were worth
$4,000 and that the net profits averaged 5000
TO Sl1OO month. And yet all Kern paid for
this was S2S,400 What did he want? Judge
SandersOn decided that The plaintiff not only
had suffered no injury, bnt had obtained a store
worth 10 TO so per cent more than he had pa id
for it." Accordingly judgment was entered in
favor of the defendants.

On March Police Officers Cleary and Allen

Now he and the man arrested with him IN

A change has taken place in the manageme Mt

Thursday morning she will be attached Tor

For about ten months the rather tangled up
business Of this corporation has been managed
by d. X. Vaughn. Through him the Oregon

THEY ARE IN CONTEMPT.
Citizens Who Refused to Obey the
Orders of Uncle Sam.

"Let warrants issue for Drury Meone and
Hiram b. Slocum that they may come here and
show cause why they should not be punished
for contempt of this court" said Judge Nor
row y sterday morning.
Yesterday was the day set apart for selecting
the United States Grand Jury for the northern
district OF California, and out OF vrnire of
forty five citizens but eighteen were secured.
In consequence. Judge Morrow was not in
very good numor. Twenly-three jurors are
needed TO complete the panel, and as there are
a number of Important cases 10 be brought be-
fore the Jury now being selected a full panel is
desired, although Unit d States Grand Jury
can work with as few as sixteen members.
Excuses of all K kinds were presented by
twenty five OF the forty-five mrn summoned
presum ably because the jury Will be steadily
in session until the latter part OF next February
and attendance upon us sessions Is going to
take up no little OF the time OF It's memb' RS, and
business men try TO avoid the service. Ii
seems, however, that Mr.. MelOne and Mr..
Slocum, for some reason, not only absenled
themselves but did not even go 10 the trouble
10 send an excuse, and as result they Will be
brought into court in custody.
United States grand Jurles are differently
constructed from the jurles In the Stat courts,
and lt takes legal and valid excuse TO escape
service. Political pull or pulls OF any other
kind don't 60" as many an over-sanguine Cit
