J. Rean of Pendleton, who I well known here, having sat on the local circuit court bench to hear cases. A Pendleton dlsputeh Says of the cane: 1 Circuit Judge H. J. Bean of this city. Is charged by the government with having wftfully, wrongfully and fraudulently made filial proof umm 160 acres of desert land, under the ferey act. The specific allegation is th:it Judge Hean used a contract for writer with the Jlinkle Ditch company which he knew was void. To secure hind under the Carey act it Is neces sary to make oath thut one has water to reclaim the land, or has entered Into contract to secure water for that pur pose, f The chief witness for the govern ment is Attorney J. T. Hinkle of this city, who was the president of the Hin kle Ditch company. He said the cm purty at one time did enter into nego tiations wiih Judge Dean to furnish l:l:n with water for the land. A con tract containing the terms of the .-sgreement was submitted to Jtulfte f!i nn, who asked for time to look i' over and consider It. Hinkle asserted that after the Judge had retained tin contract for nearly n ' year without having signed it. the company decided to withdraw .ta orrer to furnish wan r. under the terms specified, and asked to have the contract retain-d, whii h was dmie. It is then alleged thct Jud;-e Hean signed tip n copy of the contract, filed It with the land officials and proceed ed to (Hove up on and si-cure title t his land. Hinkle then fore insisted that the contract Is void; that judge had no water, to reclaim his land and c..o d On cross-examination. however. Hinkle was foiced to admit that the slgnatm of himaelf, as president, imu! that of the M-cietary of ih i-ompary. as well as the seal of the company to h found on the contract whii h the Jmlsre had used, were sreiinilie, thouxh the e.itlttait i'setf MI'i a caiholl Copy.
