Seattle Coal and Iron Company.

The motion for confirmation OF sale Of
the Seattle Coal and Iron Company came
on for hearing before Judge Moore yes
terday. but was continued by agreement
until next Friday. August 20 There
seems 20 be a general impression that in
case the order OF confirmation is signed
the property passes at once into the
hands OF the purchasers. This is an
error. The purchasers are allowed a
term OF twenty days after the signing Of
the order In which 10 pay down the pur-
chase price Until this purchase price is
actually paid down the property remains

Charles r. Shearer, assistant superin-
tendent OF the Port Townsend Southern
fel4Foad, has been missing since last Sat
GFday morning. The secret o. the matter IS
mat snearsr was forced % resign owing
10 an alleged shortage Of 500 IN his ac
counts, and II Is supposed he thought il
oeSt 10 get out OF the way before EseGelyer
(. J. Smith, OF the Oregon Improvement
Company, which controls the Port Towns
end Southern. had HIN arrested. Shearer
has made MS home al Port Townsend,
where ne was universally popular, and his
friends are 10th 10 bel!eve that he IS
guilty Of misappropriatins the company's
money.
For several years Shearer has been In
the employ OF the Oregon Improvement
Company. His position az Port Townsend
was one OF trust, and until recently, the
company had implicit faith IN him. He
was known as the assistant superintendent
OF the Port Townsend Southern railroad,
bat as the employees OF that special branch
OF the Oregon improvement Company are
limited, he performed the duties OF SEN
eral manager and conductor. he also re-
ceived money, IL is saids Tor fares and
freight.
Things have happened during the past
six months which resulted in an inyeStsgs-
ton OF his books. The checking Up was
finished last Thursday, and a shortage Of
$500 was reported 10 Receiver c. J. Smith
ia Seattle. Snearer's resignation was
called FOR last Friday. and. under the cir
cJsnstances. he lost no time in handing
it in.
Saturday morning Shearer left Port
Townsend and has not been heard Of
since. He is a married man. and az last
accounts his family was stiu in Port
Townsend Shearer IS about 20 years old
and, so far as is known, has not been
careless or reckless in his everyday life
IL IS possible that he may have allowed
the shortage to accrue through the use Of
small sums from time 10 time IN mining
speculations.
When Receiver Smith was seen last
night and asked II it was true that Mr..
Shearer had been discharged for misap-
propriating funds. he said that was the
case. He also said he did not care TO
talk as 10 what he thought Shearer did
with the money. He believes that the
money was taken in driblets.
Mr Shearer viii be succeeded by Will
fam Taylor, who Is well known in this
city as the train dispatcher OF the Column
bia & Puget Sound railroad.
