I ROSEBURG, ..DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 100!). NO. IS TO IS CHKY THE HEIR? Defense in Famous Suit For Land Title Deny it. WAS KNOWN AS MILLER Chuuiuey First Discovered He Was a Heir to the Hose Estate Through a Jxtter Written Ity Atty, Jackson. The Chauncey suit which was filed In February Inst, and In which the plaintiffs lay claim to certain inter ests, as heirs or the Rose estate, to all that property tn the southern part of the city that comprises the original one-half of the Aaron Rose donation land claim, or that portion which It was alleged was the Individual prop erty of Sarah Hose, was brought to issue In the circuit court of Douglas county 'this, morning at 10 o'clock. Judge Geo. H. Burnett, of Salem, presided, since Judge Hamilton's re lationship to certain defendants In the action necessarily disqualified him from hearing the case. The case was brought to trial on amended complaint, and Attorney Jackson, for plaintiffs, stated that Sarah Rose, wife of Aaron Rose, died on Dec. 15, 18S6. That Rose and wife were the owners of a donation land claim of 820 acres; that the south half, less 14 acres that had been sold was the property of Sarah Hose. Following the death of Sarah Rose, deeds were obtained from all of her heirs to this property with ex ception of two children of a brother. From theses heirs no deeds were ev er obtained because of the fact that they could not be located. Prior to the death of Aaron Rose he gave deeds to this property as It was sold in lota and block and never recog nized the Interests of the two heirs, which practically amounted to three thirtyfifths of the estate. Attorney Rice, for the defendants, briefly outlined the reply by denying tho whole claim set up by the plain tiffs, and stating that they denied that Chauncey was a rightful or le gal heir; denied that the plaintiff, Chauncey, was. a son of Warren Chauncey or a nephew of Mrs. Sarah Rose; denied that plaintiff had now, or ever had, any Interest, right or title to any portion of the estate of Sarah Rose or of the defendants In the action, and that the defendants In the case would establish the fact that following his wife's death Aaron Rose had secured deeds from I each and every heir of the estate. i Following this wholesale denial THANKFULNESS Men who've been buying their Clothes of us find ample reason for thankfulness when they com pare their personal appearance with that of most men wearing ready-made Clothing. Buy your Thanksgiving suit here and you too will have reason to be thankful. A heavy shipment of Stylish Suits and overcoats just received. Mr. Chauncey was placed on the stand and told the story of his claim to a part of the estate. Witness testified that he first heard of the case, and the knowledge of his In terests, through a letter by Attorney Jackson to the U. S. pension depart ment; he alleged that he knew he had an Aunt Sarah Rose, and that the had moved to Oregon, but fur ther than that he lost all trace of her, but that he cuino to Roseburg just as soon as he had received the letters from Mr. Jackson. On cross examination by Attorney Dexter Rice lor the defense, plain tiff was asked why he had lived In California for 30 vears under the name of Geo. Miller, and if it was not because he had- once killed ai man In Montana in a quarrel overj a mining claim, and If he, Chauncey, had not, In substance, so told Albert Abraham and Thos. Cobb? The witness refused to answer this question, and the court was re quested to require an answer. The court ruled that since it was a ques tion which might Involve the wit ness, or was incriminating in its na ture, ho would not require an ans wer, but that the refusal of Mr. Chauncey to reply would be consider ed by the court In arriving at a de cision Counsei for defense further Intro duced evidence to show that until about two years ago, wnen unauncey applied for a pension under that name, he had been known as Miller. At 2:30 this ufternoon Mr. Chaun cey was excused from further testimony.- With exception of the matter relating to his past the plaintiff made good In his statements, and main tained his ground under rigid cross examination Two other witnesses for plaintiff were placed on the stand to develop some minor claim, and as we go to presB Mi. John Chauncey, of Michi gan, a brother of the plaintiff, Is test ifying regarding family history. Wit ness staled he is 70 years old today, a native of Illinois, and an old sol d i er, having served f ou r yea rs and four months and Identified plaintiff as his brother. DR.

Is by gen-, erul levy. Commissioner Ryun baa the correct. Idea as to tho levy, though he may be a Utile too high In his figures. A jump from 2.0ft (ax to 5 mills is a big jump in one year, hut . is far better than a retrograde move ment back to 2 mills. One Ib In the line ol progress, while the other is returning lo the Idea of primitive times. Fvery where throughout the Stale through tho Development Lea gues better roads Is the cry all along the line. Wo want bettor roads In Douglas county. Not only those lend ing Into Roseburg, but such roads as. will enable farmers to get to the city other tli.iu through the cow paths where you have to let down the bars to get through. Aeflve road work gives employment lo Idle hands, and distributes money to all parts of the count j . What, Is better than to une the taxes paid upon the farms Into a redistribution or return to the bund that gave It? It is the essence of banking In another form, and the essence of common sense. All taxa tion should ho made for the good of the whole, and not alone for the ben efit of the office holders and politi cians. A straw vote Is not the final settlement of the matter, but rather a test ol hat the people want. Let us have a new deal lu tho January meeting. LETTER LIST.
