Case Delayed ' r Alleging that it would take six months to try the Chauncey case at the present rate, Judge Burnette, presiding judge, ad- journed court shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon until De- cember 3 3. Judge Burnette Is of the opinion that the attorneys representing the defendants, (some fifteen In number) should get together and decide upon six cases, the verdict In said Bults to settle all cases Involved In the controversy. By this he argues that much time and ex- pense can be saved. Briefly, it might be said, that considerable dissatisfaction Is prevailing on account of the unexpected ad- journment. With the reading of s. Lumbar of depositions in an effort to establish the Identity of George Chauncey, one of the plaintiffs n the celebrated laad title suit now attracting the atten tion of the circuit court, Attorney C. S. Jackson, representing the plaintiffs concluded the admission of testimony on behaft of his clients shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. The deposi apparently executed to establish the lie at the former home of Mrs. Sarah Hose, deceased, in Michigan, and were the evidence as adduced by the plain fact that Sarah Hose was at one time a resident of that section; that she was married while residing there to a man by the name of Aaron Rose, and that soon after the marriage the couple moved to Oregon and located upon a donutlon land claim, presum ably the one involved In the present controversy. Briefly, the depositions were fav orable to the plaintiffs, tending to establish the alleged facts mentioned. As Attorney Jackson, for the plain tiffs, announced his Intention to rest. Attorney Dexter Hice, chief counsel for the defense, asked that the case against the several defendants be dis missed. Attorney Rice contended that the evidence as adduced by the plain tiffs tended to show a dispute In title, thus removing the action from the jourisdiction of the trial court. In other words Attorney Hice argued that the case was not one of equity hut should be tried before a jury. Judgo Burnette ruled favorable to the plaintiffs In this Instance, stating that lie would take the motion un der advisement should the defense wish to rest their case and refrain from the introduction of further tes timony.' After a brief consultation between the several attorneys It was decided to proceed with the case and Intro duce such testimony as tney deemed necessary. In accordance with the ruling of Judge Burnette it will be necessary for the defense to in-, trod nee the evidence of every defen-1 dant three hundred In all. j Attorney C. S. Jackson was the 1 first witness plated on the stand by the defense, lie was questioned at; soma length relative to his authority; In serving the Chauneeys and as to how long he hud been in their em ploy. Mr. Jackson was unable to' give any defiinite reply to the above' interrogations, simply stating that ho had been retained by George Chnun coy after the laltor's arrival in Ihc city. Attorney Jackson was atun ask eded regarding numerous notices of vacation purported to have boon sent out by him several months ago. In response to this question, Mr. Jark son said that he thought he had sent out about thirty ftiirh notices. I Attorney Jackson's stenographer j was t hen placed on the stand. Sim simply refuted Jackson's statement In regard to the number of notir-s he had sent out, stating that sho had ' mailed about ttiree dundred of thorn, at the instance o( her employer. L. A. Sancluaiy, also a witness for the defense, was placed on the stand. He simply rendered an explanation of his title. I M. Trousdale, of put oh Flat. Cal ifornia, was then eall"d hy the de fense. In answer to numerous Inter-j rogations advanced by Attorney Rice, i Mr. Trousdale said that he had been acquainted with the purported Chaunrey for a great many yenrs, ;ut , had alwavB known him as CharM Miller. In fact, he said that Millet was hfs general title in the southern! town where he had lived for years j past.c-:w : I'pon motion of the'nttorneys for; the defense.

After the con versation between Chauncey and Cobb the witness testified that he was In formed by Mr. Cobb that he (Chaun cey) was the missing link and the man he was looking for and also that he, was entitled to an Interest in the property at Kosehurg to the extent of its appraised value at the time of Sarah Roso's death which would amount practically to$2(0. Chauncey stated he was offered $500 by Mr. Cobb for a deed to the property. He said this was his first knowledge of his rights in the property here. He did not accept the offer made by Mr. Cobb but sa hi he would come to Hose- burg nnd Investigate, promising Mr. Cobb he would consult hiin upon his arrival here. Chauncey said he first consulted B. L. Eddy about the mat ter after seeing Cobb, then went to Jackson and placed the matter in his hands. The letter received by him from Jackson regarding his rights In the land In question arrived on or about the same time he was visited by Mr. Cobb. The letter referred to In yester day's News purporting to. have come from C. n. Jackson was a communi cation not direct to Chauncey but a letter written to the U. S. patent de partment asking If there was a man by the name of Geo. H. Chauncey who served In Co. 11. 2nd New Hampshire. Chauncey staled tins letter was forwarded to him by the pension de partment requesting an answer and that he returned the communication to the department saying hewas pos itive there was no man in Co. 11. by the name referred to as he had heard the roll calKmany times.
