Id Favor Of Creditors.

Saturday, c. A. Barhhart took
the initial steps toward making a
voluntary assignment II favor Of
his creditors. He will petition
for the favor of the bankrupt law
and will turn everything in his
paint store over to his creditors.
Mr. Barnhart states that he has
done everything in his power to
make the business a success, but
was unable to place the concern
on paying basis simply because
the trade in this city was INSULT
cient to float such an establish
ment.
For some time past Mr.. Barn
hart and his sons have been con-
tracting and working on the side
and putting their earnings into
the business of the paint store in
the hope that they might even
tually be able to stem the tide
that had set against them and be
enabled to pull through all right,
but to no avail.
In making an assignment
nothing pertaining to the paint
store will be held back, but a
clear statement will be made to
the court and creditors and tn e
store and stock turned over to
them. Mr.. Barnhart does not
think that when matters are
Strengthened out anybody will be
loser Oh the proposition, as he is
positive that there is stock
enough on hand to cover all his
liabilities.
This is too bad, and we are
sorry that business should have
been SO poor with Mr.. Barnhart
that he should have felt obliged
to close his store and make an
assignment, but under the cir-
cumstances it was the only hon
orable thing to- do.

of.this nature is to be found in this

Hand-Carved Chessboard.

An unique and beautiful speci-
men of hand carving in wood is
now on exhibition in the display
window of F. L. Miller's estab-
lishment in this city. The work
was done by William Emory, for
merly of Corvallis, and it was
brought over recently from New
port by Attorney w. E. Yates,
who secured it from Mr.. Emory,
who is now a resident of that
place. For a number of years,
Mr.. Emory has been hunting
seals i'll the North Pacific for a
San Francisco company, and
during odd times on shipboard,
has employed himself in fashion
ing various articles in wood, and
he is an adept at this kind of
work. Given a variety of fine
woods, pocket knite and a glue
pot, and Mr.. Emory will fashion
articles beautiful in design and
perfect in workmanship.
The specimen Of his handiwork
nowson exhibition is chessboard,
eighteen inches square, and in
laid with seven varieties of wood;
among them, Mahogony, Wal
nut, Elm, Beech and Maple.
The woods are all in the natural
state, without finish or polish.
The joints all fit perfectly, and
the colors Of the various woods
harmonic beautifully.

Il
0tsi>aloossl, Aug. -. Ray I.sminger
a lSyear-cla boy. confessed yesterday
to having twice poisoned the food of
the family of Il farmer named Ander-
son, who live in Harrison township, this
county. The boy is a son of Mrs.
Charity E.isminser, OF ST. South u
street. Oskaloosa. The lad. bright.
cheerful little fellow, has been working
for the Anaersons. Twice the family
have been poisoned thru their food,
neither attempt resulting fatally. Sus-
licion finally directed itself toward the
Eisminger hoy and he WAS yesterday
subjected To a rigid cross examination.
The boy was Very loath to tell his
story in the presence of his mother.
but by slow degrees it was drawn from
him and was substantially as follows:
The Andersons had u bottle q,
stlychnine in the house which they
Had bought some time ago to poison
some troublesome crows. They kent
the bottle in the lower part of the clock
The boy said that after the family was
gone he had on both occasions taken
the hottie and put the poison in their
food.
When asked if he knew the stuff in
the bottle would kill he said he did.
He answered NO" when asked if he
wanted to kill Mr.. Anderson or his
family. and said that he had nothing
against amy of them, and they treated
Jim Well. He would give no reason for
attempting 20 poison the family, and
hardly seemed tc know what he did ii
for.
The inference is that his mind had
become morbid thru reading. He has
been much interested in the Tracy
trouble and in other criminals who
have become notorious from TING TO
time. II is thought that his mind may
have become so poisoned by the ac-
counts of the adventures of these men
that he has become practically insane
on the subject. He will be brought be-
fore Judge Scott when he arrives next
Monday and will probably be taken to
the reform school.
