Hold Unpaid Claims for
Labor and Material,
They Tell Court. .
Suit, was brought In the circuit
courU today by L. W. Metsger
against George Malanson, propriet
or of the "Wigwam Tavern," hT
cated at Coos Bay Junction, the
amount of the claim being In the
neighborhood of 18.600. Metsger is
suing on his own and assigned
claims, and the public sale of the
property to pay the amounts due
la petitioned.
It Is claimed that Malanson pur
chased the property and gave two
mortgages as security for loans.
Mr. Metzger alleges that In the
construction of the Wigwam he
furnished labor and materials val
ued at 14.225.63, and that he has
been paid 11.812.23 on the account,
leaving a balance due of fl.2S6.86.
On this second claim he Is seek
ing to recover 31,286.86, a clalrf
assigned by Dell V. Hast, of the
Roseburg Plumbing and Heating
compsmy. It is claimed that this
company did all of the pluniblng.in
the building, furnishing supplies,
fixtures and labor, amounting to ap
proximately 11,800. of which about
1800 has been paid, leaving the
balance claimed.
The third cause of action
amounts lo $80. being on an as
signed claim from Stunley Tuylor,
for labor.
The complaint Is also brought
against the holders of the mort
gages, and seeks to have the liens,
filed by Mr. Metzger and the hold
ers of the other claims, designated
as preferred claims. .
In view of the non-payment of
the amounts of the respective bills,
the plaintiff asks that the proper
ty be advertised and sold by the
court, and that ihe proceeds of the
sale be used to pay off the amount
of the suit, and that the money re
ceived over and above the amount
specified in the complaint, be paid
on Ihe mortgages. Attorney R. L.
Whipple represents the plaintiff.
The Wigwam Tavern was built last
year, Mr. Malanson coming from
Coos Ray to construct the building
and go Into business.
