Fenian prisoners in Manchester, and a
police sergeant was shot aud killed.

three of the rescue party without too
much fine haired fuss as to whether

A Portland paper relates the fol-
lowing pathetic story about Charley
Nebergall the well known and pop
ular blind cigar stand man of the
Portland courthouse and formerly OF
Pendleton:
Long-cherished hopes or a blind
man that his sight might be restored
by an operation were blighted by the
failure of the Title Guarantee &
Trust Company. Charles Il. Neber-
gall, the blind cigar dealer at the
court house, has saved carefully for
years in the hope that he could go
east and have an operation perform
ed which would restore his sight. He
banked all his money in the Ross in
stitution. Being in business he kept
a check account, and his money is
not a part of the amount guaranteed
by w. M. Ladd-
Nebergall had saved about $500
above his liabilities, and had planned
to make the trip east next July. He
had selected a famous specialist in
Chicago who has, by means of arti-
fcial pupils, restored the sight of nu-
merous people. Among them are
residents of Portland. Nebergall had
just succeeded IN getting his cigar
business in a condition that would
have enabled him to go to Chicago
next summer had not the financial
furry and the suspension of the Ii
tie guarantee & Trust company in
terfered.
An explosion yf soda pop bottle
at Pendleton about 10 years ago de-
stroyed Nebergall's sight. His, right
eye Is totally destroyed, but the left
eye remains, and he has hoped ever
ysince that some day he might under
go an operation which would enable
him to see with his left eye.
The holidays and enforced idle
ness at the court house have had a
strong effect on NebergalFs business,
as comparatively few people have WIS.,
tied the courthouse since then. The
suspension of the Title Guarantee &
Trust company has forced Nebergall
to postpone definitely his visit to
the Chicago specialist, since II must
be several months before he can OBJ
tain his money from the defunct
bank should 1t pay dollar for dollar.
Though the hopes OF years are thus
dampened. Nebergall Is one OF the
most cheerful of the banks deposit
'ors. With unfailing good nature, he
insists that everything will come out
right and that he will get every cent
of his money from the bank. Even
in the face of his decreased trade,
caused by the quiet at the court
house, he remains cheerful and hope
ful.
