111 the Injunction Caw of Ifoivnd vh.
Cook et al.
The following decision was handed
down by Judge- Hamilton in the cir
cuit court this morning in the injunc
tion case of A. H. Howard vs. Alary
H. Cook and Frederick M. Cook. The
same was argued some time since,
the plaintiff being represented by
Attorney Jackson and the defendants
by Attorneys Cardw. 11 & Watson T Ik
defendants are residents of Myrtle
Creek and are well known.
Following is the decision In full:
The record shows that the ddeii
dunt, Mary B. Cook purchased th"
Innd In dispute from the government
of the United Stntes, and that she
bus paid for the same and there hits
been issued to her a certificate, It Is
alleged In plaintiff's complaint that
he with one L. Porter are the owners
and In possession of the said land and
are holding and working the same
under the mining laws of the United
Slates and the state of Oregon, "that
the defendant has tresspassed upon
s-ald premises, and dug thereon, nnd
t.roken the plaintiff's building.- and
fences thereon, and removed iIhmo-
from a portion of plaintiff's mining
equipment, flumes, hydraulic piping
and giant, and although ropouieilU ,
warned hy the plaintiff to desist and
forbidden by the plaintiff to enter
upon wild premises or trespass there-;
on, the defendants do tresspass there-1
on and dig and remove the soil and
gravel nnd flume nnd hydraulic pip
ing and destroy plaintiff's fonrefc- and,
buildings and gates thereon to plain
tiff's damage In the sum of $.i50."
These facts are InHUtflcient to give
a coiMt of equity Jurisdiction grant
ing that plaintiff Is the owner of t In
land. The Identical question was de
cided hy the Supreme Court !n th"
case of Parker vs. Furlong. Parties
are confined to the remedy of Vtw In
cases of trespassing unless there are
exceptional farts going to the de
struction of the estates, and which
are not alleged here.
But the facts In this case show that
one of the defendants has pnrchnwed ,
the land from the government of the'
United Stater,. Plaintiff, hoftevr.
proposes to impeach the title bv
showing that-the Innd is mineral in
character and lhat a contest Inn
Meen Initiated with that end In view.
Th's court cannot assume to d-tnr-niup
that question. Such contest and
the Issues .Iheieui.der aie matter
r ver whfeh the government of ihe
United State through said land de
partment has exclusive Jurisdiction.'
Therefore the demurrer Is sustafn-;
ed and the application for Injunction j
derled.

IMPOItTAXT 1H: ISION
Judge Itean Siiyw the Innocent Must
Sutler A Iho.
Judge Bean rendered a decision
yesterday morning In the Eedoral
Court which gives tho Government a
strong lead In seeking to rncovor tim
ber lands located by the fraud of the
Puter-McKinley gang. Tho effect of
this decision la that where fictitious
names wero used, aa was often the
case in the gang's operations, no title
ever passed from the government, nnd
an Innocent purchaser holding this
Innd could not retain It because ho
had never acquired any titlo what
ever. In adopting UiIb principle of law,
Judgo Bean has covered many of tho
pending and prospective cases in
which the Government seeks to recov
er all land alienated from the public
domain by fraud. In the 14 cases
tried last week, In which Frederick
K, Krlbbs was defendant, Krlbbs
maintained that he knew nothing of
these lands, and held now as an Inno
cent purchaser. If fictitious n anion
in Puter-McKinley frauds In locating
were used In making the original lo
cations, It will make no difference
whether the present purchaser Is In
nocent or not, according to the de
cision yestordav morn 1 nr.. ,
Only 'three cases wore directly de
cided in laying down the far-renehlng
principle, titular one being the United
States vs. Floyd. In reviewing tho
facts, Pater's methods wore gone over
by the court, Bhowlng that no such
person existed aa was alleged In tho
application papers, Marie Ware, na
Commissioner, stood in accepted the
fictitious proofs nnd aided to hnve
title Issued to tho land, which was
conveyed to Emma L. Watson at once
and later passed Into the hands of In
nocent purchasers. They lose their
property, as the fraud nt Inception of
title taints clear through.
