John NJ. 0sburn Files Petition III Bank.
! ruptcy to Save Property.
John M. Osburn, of Corvallis,
farmer and Gne-stock raiser, 9
resident of Benton county for 40
years, Friday filed petition
| in bankruptcy in the United
States Court. His liabilities
amount to some $40, 900, and
his assets about $4,000. His
liabilities are mostly secured by
mortgage on his lands and his
cattle, and his assets consist OF
his farm, farming utensils, stock,
etc. In connection with his
bankruptcy petition, Mr.. Osburn
filed a petition asking the court
to have the property put in pos
session of the United States
Marshal until trustee can be
appointed.
He further states that several
citizens of Corvallis, whom he
names, recovered a Judgment
him for $4,000, and
and placed it in the hands of the
Sheriff, with instructions to levy
upon his cattle and personal
property, and the sheriff took
lbs same into his possession.
The same persons purchased a
ehattel mortgage from the First
National Bank of Eugene and
placed it in the hands Of the
sheriff and directed him TO sell
the property at private sale.
Petitioner alleges that it is alb
solutely necessary for the preser-
vasion of said property and the
protection of the rights of his
creditors that the court shall
take charge of all the property
and hold the same pending the
OF a receiver. Judge
Bellinger made an order direct
ing the Marshal to take charge
of the property and hold it and
keep it together till the appoint
ment Of trustee. e.-Oregonian.
The many friends of Mr.. John
M. Osburn, of this place, will re-
gret very much to learn that he
has deemed it necessary to file
his voluntary petition in the
United States court asking to be
adjudged bankrupt. Mr.. Os-
burn has for over a third of
century been a resident of this
community, Since early man.
hood and long prior to his COM
ing to Oregon he was a dealer
aEd raiser Of stock. For the
last twenty years he has engaged
in raising and selling fine regis
tered Durham cattle; the original
stock having been bought in the
East and shipped across the con-
tinent. He has sold the off
spring of these fine cattle to
stock raisers all ever this eoun-
try thus improving their herds.
By an unfortunate chain of cir
cumstances, Mr.. Osburn of late
years became more extensively
involved than prior thereto in
trying to help others, and re-
Gently several parties who had
signed note with him took it
up, and obtained judgment
against him in the last term of
circuit court and levied upon the
cattle. AS Mr. Osburn was not
able to- pay the claim at once, |
this resulted in his filing the
petition named. Mr.. Osburn's
recent failing health is also a
source of much anxiety among
his friends. United States Mar
shall Hauser arrived in this city
asst Saturday, and Is said to have
taken charge of the stock.

A good we'll story is told by Wal
ter Smith, who is farming the
Bonneville place. Walt says that
he has well that furnishes an in
exhaustible supply of water during
summer; but every year about the
fist of October 1t begins to fail. 1t
has acted in this manner for sev
eral years and at the present time
he can only draw about two buckets
Nef water without stopping. Shortly
after the holidays its supply begins
TO increase All through the dry
GUNNER season it furnishes an
abundant supply of pure water,
bit in the winter season it fails.
This is a peculiar state Of affairs.

CHARITY FUNDS LACKING.
The Board of ChiIdren's Guardians
Confronted by Il DeGeiency-

Confronted by u Deficiency.
The Board OF Children's Guardians Of
the District OF Columbia recently. through
its secretary, sent 20 the Superintendent
of Charities a statement Of the estimated
deficiency in the appropriation for the use
OF the board for the current year. This
statement has now been conveyed TO the
Commissioners by the Superintendent Of
Charities. with the request that the
amount asked for by the board be favor
ably considered.
The estimates Of Secretary Mann. OF the
board. call for the sum OF 81. S59.l6, as the
actual amount required to carry on the
work of the present fiscal year. In order
to meet all eXigencies which may arise
the board asks for 81 POO.
In view Of a possible excess in eN-
penditures over the minimum estimate,
saws the report land the inconvenience
that would result to the board to its con-
tracing parties. and TO Congress. in such
an event. the board feels justified in ask
ing an amount slightly in advance Of the
closely figured estimates" Reference is
made to the reputation OF the board for
economy in administration and to the fact
that it has. whenever practicable, return
ed unexpended balances TO the Treasury
and for these reasons it is urged that the
board be treated literally.
H. W Lewis, Superintendent Of Chart
ties. in transmitting the estimates to the
Commissioners. and in recommending
their favorable consideration. says that
the deficiency in the revenues is due. in
part, to the operation Of the law 10y which
the board was created. but chiefly to the
growth OF the work OF the board in di-
rections heretofore wholly neglected one
notable instance OF this. he says. is to be
found iu the establishment and main
tenance Of the Hart farm school for col
ored boys excluded from all other insJi-
tutinus in the District.

THE oRDWAY CLAIM.
Attorney DuvHIl's Opinion ON the
Legal Questions Involved.


Legal Questions Involved.
y. C. Ordwsy, executor OF the estate Of
George l. Ordway. recently applied TO the
District Commissioners for a settlement
relative to the auction sale OF a building
and materials connected with the Washing
ton Market Company. The application
states that in 1850. when the District au-
thorities took possession Of the property
in front Of the market house for public
purposes. that the building and materials
in question we're sold at public auction for
1872 so This amount. it is alleged was
raised by clients OF the late Colonel ord
way, and permission obtained by him to
remove the building to the wholesale
grounds.
1t appears that an arrangement was en-
tered into at that time by which the Dis
tr;ct was TO receive half the rental for the
building, and those who placed the build
ing on the new site were to receive the
other half.
The executor now comes forward with
a request to the Commissioners that they
shall assent to an equitable adjustment OF
the amounts collected and received for the
use cf the building and grounds under
their direction. and allow the building TO
be removed to a private lot as il originally
cost the owners, with the expense OF NOV
ing and improvement at various times,
about $1,000.
