Will Assist Government In Effort to Bring California Defendants Back to Oregon for Trial. T. B. Xeuhausen, special inspector of the Interior Department, will leave Port land Saturday for Los Angeles, where he goes to Join Tracey r. Becker, who la assistant to the Attorney-General, In the lcsal battle that the defendants In what is known as the Currey County letnd jcrab deal. In which the Pacific Furni ture & Iand Company Is defendant, will wage. Three of the defendants live In Imb Angeles and are fighting removal to Oregon for trial. They are Warren C4I1 leten. R. W. Kenney and Will E. Gould. They were indicted by United States Attorney Bristol, April, 1906. The Fed eral Grand Jury returned indictments against a number of defendants, some of whom lived in Oregon and ' others :ln California. Some of the California" de fendants were willing to return to Ore gon, but Gilleten, Kenney and Gould de termined to fight removal. Mr. Becker left ' Portland several days ago and is now at Los Angeles. The three Los Angeles defendants have employed the best legal talent in California, and the Government, officials are prepared for a hard battle. Mr. Becker was anxious to have Mr. Bristol assist him in the case, because Mr. Bristol was the man who worked up the evidence' and obtained the Indictments. Mr. Bristol, however, owing to the fact that his successor is liable to be appointed any time, declined to ac-" company Mr. Becker. He may, however, in case it looks as if the defendants might beat the .removal proceedings, yet take part in the trial. The land alleged to have been gobbled b;p the Pacific Furniture & Land Com pany is located In Currey County. Or. The company is said to have had U2 filings made on lands amounting to something like 18,000 acres. Mr. Neuhausen had charge of getting together all of the evidence against the company.

Saunders, proprietor of a gen eral merchandise store at 232 North Sixteenth etreet, was found guilty of assault and battery on a 16-year-old girl and fined $35 by Municipal Judge Cameron-yesterday morning. The man was arrested two days ago on complaint of Miss Florence Hopfer, who resides at 282 North Sixteenth street, who alleges that when she visited Saunders' store to make a pur chase recently, he caught her about the waist and kissed her against her will. According to the testimony intro duced it was made plain to the judge that,' the man had . actually taken the liberty of kissing the maid, and as such liberty had been taken without her permission the court assessed Mr. Saunders the .sum mentioned, and cau tioned him not. to again become so familiar with his customers. Accused of " Fraud. H. Caler, of Pendetlon. Or.," was ar rested yesterday by the Bheriff of Clack amas County on a warrant Issued from the Municipal Court of this 'city, on Feb ruary 11. Caler was brought to this city and placed in the County Jail and later turned over to the police authorities. He is charged with- obtaining money under false pretenses. The complainant in the case is Philip Neu, of this city, who Is a dealer in tombstones'. He charges Caler with having obtained J76 from him by giving him a contract for a tombstone for a Mrs. Nancy Moore, of Oregon City, which contract Is- said to have been worthless. WATER BOARD UNDER FIRE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION : WANTS IT ABOLISHED. Says It Is "Incompetent and Gener ally Unsatisfactory to the Public." .'"Incompetent and generally unsatisfac tory to the public" Is the verdict of the Northeastern Improvement Association in regard to the Water Board. If the association carries out its plan, the people will vote In June on the abolishment of the Water Board and on the substitution of an elective commission. At the recent meeting of the associa tion. George B. Frank, president, the matter was discussed, and it was decided to make an effort to get a vote on the matter at the forthcoming June elec tion. Mr. Frank said yesterday that the- intention was to get the measure to un horse the Water Board before the public in a short time and educate the public to the necessity of getting rid of tlie present board. The reason for tills ac tion is that there are many sections where there are no water mains and no fire protection. Houses are being burned in the outlying districts for want of tire, hydrants. It Is said that the movement is receiving some attention, especially in the outlying districts. Mr. Frank and other members of the Northeastern As sociation will soon start a campaign for the measure among other clubs. SEND SCENIC PHOTOS EAST. See Riser's display. 248 Alder st.
