Beaver Hill Coal Company Defend ant in Big Damage Suit. Claiming S10.000 as damages for the permanent loss of the use of one leg, John Daugert yesterday began a suit for recovery from the Beaver Hill Coal Company, operating in Coos County. The defendant company is a California corporation. The suit will be heard in the United States Court. Daugert alleges that on August 12, 1908, he was employed in the mines operated by the Beaver Hill Company and was engaged in driving a drift at a point where the coal vein inter sected a ledge of sandstone, causing the roof of the entry to become loose and in danger of caving. He says he left the dangerous place and was sent back by Jack Sharpe, foreman of the workings.

District Attorney's Office Blames Grand Jury lor Failing to Enter Charge Against Man. Although he is believed guilty by the District Attorney's office and Justice of the Peace Olson and the facta in the case regarded by both the Governors of Ore gon and California to warrant the extra dition of A. C. McKeen, the grand jury failed to find an indictment against the man and Multnomah County has been put to the expense of J106 to send Con stable Wagner to Oakland, Cal., foe the man's apprehension and return. District Attorney Cameron blames the grand jury. P. L. Hartman, a grocer, z( union avenue, filed the complaint against Mc- jveen. McKeen-'s family bought articles for cash at Har'tman's store, and finally opened an account there on credit. Mc Keen tendered in payment of his account a draft upon H. R. Miles, his brother-in-law, of English, Ark. McKeen received about $30 cash in change. McKeen left the city and was after wards locatetd in Oakland, Cal. When he was brought back to this city Miles came out to testify in his behalf. At torney Fouts appeared as his attorney. Mi lea testified that he owed McKeen some money and that he would have paid the draft had it been presented to him. Justice Olson held him to await the ac tion of the grand jury and placed Miles under bail to appear as a witness. - When the officials of the District Attorney's office presented the case to the grand jury, however, th jury returned not a true bill. When McKeen was first ' brought back to Portland he made some damaging ad missions to Constable Wagner leading the official to believe that the testimony of Miles was prepared for the occasion and that it was fixed up between McKeen and Miles so that their stories would agree. The only evidence rebutting this was that of Constable - W'agner, and although he was the most important wit ness the District Attorney could get he was not summoned to appear before the grand jury when they took the testimony in the McKeen case. District Attorney Cameron has recom mended that McKeen pay the grocer what Is due him. McKeen notified Hartman that he would pay him. The case against McKeen is apparently dropped in spite of the damaging evidence against him In the possession of Constable Wagnef. and the taxpayers of Multnomah County have had to stand the expense of 106.
