AN INTERESTING CASE.
Expert Testimony Fails to Establish
Forgery, and Plaintiff Wins.

The suit of Annie Urquhart against
G. E. Jones, was tried yesterday and
late last night was submitted to the jury
which soon arrived at verdict. 1t was
quite an interesting case, the action be-
ing brought to recover the sum of about
500, due on promissory note.
The defense put up was that while
Jones had one time owed Mrs, Urquhart
about the sum sued for, that he had paid
ment produced a cancelled note, and
claimed that the present note was for
gerry. Expert testimony was introduced,
the weight of it being to the effect that
the signature did not appear to be
Jones', but all hesitating about swearing
it was not. The plaintiff set up that
Jones came to her, and stated that his
other creditors, particularly one in Sher-
man county, was pushing him and
about.to sue, that if he was given a little
time he could pull through, and then
asked that plaintiff surrender the note
and take a new one in its place, that by
doing so he could chow the note, and by
making his other creditors believe he
was paying off his debts, he could get
time. Mrs. Urquhart first objected, but
finally consented and Jones made new
note, signing the same while seated in
his buggy, which plaintiff insists was
the reason of his signature being some
what crude.
The case was well argued, and being
submitted, the jury found for plaintiff,
giving her judgment for the full sum
sued for, and $75 attorneys fees. w.
H. Wilson for plaintiff, J. B. Hosford for
defendant.

cause of their making very slow p.o-
the last three months has not exceeded
one inch day. This is altogether too
slow, and has demonstrated the fact
that further work cannot be accom-
plished without the use of diamond
drill. This will cost about 81 600. Now
these men are asking sthe people of this
city to furnish $500, or one-half Of the
amount, and they stand ready to put up
the other $500 or more if it requires it.,
and will drill the hole to a depth that
will settle the question of coal or no
coal in this neighborhood. None of US
can say that these men are asking any
thing unreasonable, for the matter is
one that should engage the earnest and
earliest attention of our people. They
certainly have the energy to raise
the small amount, knowing, as they all
do, that if these men are successful, it
will be the crowning glory of this city,
and insure its prosperity for the next
hundred years. Imagine trains coming
in from the mines half dozen times a
day and dozen steam boats barges and
schooners receiving it at our wharves.
There would be eight hundred or a
thousand men at work in the mines.
There is no excuse for leaving this
matter drop. Fifteen hundred dollars
were easily raised here for celebrating
the opening of the Cascade locks, and
self interest should make the raising OF
$500 an easy tack.
