and II new inventory Saturday after
noon with the county clerk. The
showing made gives SAL 900 assets not
including the bank building which is
to he sold at sheritl's sale and will
probably be bid in at the face of mort
gage and expenses. This is made up
of $4,000 in notes for unpaid stock,
being half Of the original stock, and
$4,000 in notes and accounts, other
than those in the hands Of the First
National Bauk of Portland, MIR.
Thompson has collected $1,000, and
Mr.. James gives as the probable total
collection IS, 400, which will be distrib.
uted among $4,000 in credits, In this
the assignee evidently places the stock
notes as Of little value. The matter
will be settled as rapidly as possible. -

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Children Burned to Death In
Their Home In MoMlnnvlIle.

MoMINNvILLE, Or, May 22.-The
residence Of NJ. Shadden, one of the
oldest and most respected citizens in
the community, was burned at mid
night. Their 10 year-old daughter
perished In the flames, and a little son
received fatal injuries. Mrs. Martha
Shadden, so years Of age, and q pion-
eer Of 1912. and her blind son, Riley,
were taken from the burning building
naked. 1t is feared the aged weman
will not survive the shock. Mr.. and
Mrs Shadden barely escaped with
their lives. 1t was themost horrible
holocaust ever known in this part Of
the state, and the town Is almost In q
frenzy of excitement over 1t. The
burned building was large frame
structure situated near the center of
the city, and was said to have been the
first residence erected In McMinnvil.e.
1t was burned to the ground. The
residence Of Judge Galloway, situated
just across the street, was saved only
after a hard fight. The fire was dis
covered by a passer-by who at once
aroused the sleeping family. Mr..
Shadden was first aroused, and by the
time he had carried his wife into the
open air, the entire building was in
flames. Single-handed be fought
them back while be rescued his aged
mother and blind brother. An effort
was made to rescue the boy, who slept
on the second floor, The poor little
was badly burned, and in his agony,
jumped into the street. The parboiled
flesh across his abdomen was burst
open and his bowels gushed forth. In
his suffering and pain, he begged those
about him to kill him. Skillful sur
geons did all they coulb to relieve his
awful sufferings. AT a late hour he
was still still living, but the surgeons
say his death is certainty.
The little girl whose life was sacri-
feed, had evidently attempted to make
her way out of the building, but was
lost in the awful roar of the flames and
smeke, and lay down to meet her fate.
She was not after ths-fire WAS
discovered, and not until the smould-
ering ruins were cleared away were
her charred remains recovered. The
lower limbs were burned entirely away
and the remainder of the body was
burned beyond recognition. The fren-
zied parents of the children rushed
about the burning building in awful
agony. Friends and kind neighhors
could scarcely restrain them from
throwing themselves headlong into
the flames.
The fire department was on hand
promptly after the alarm was given.
They worked bravely, aud mere than
one fireman was scorched by the
flames. But it was too late. When
they arrived on the ground the build
ing was in flames. The fire originated
in a large, old-fashioned fireplace on
the first floor, and almost Immediately
enveloped the stairway leading to the
second floor. In this way escape Of the
children was entirely cut off. The
loss to the building is about $1,000,
covered by insurance.
