La Grande, Oregon ' Daily Observer. 65c per Month III 1). IN STRICT (0 DOT Judge Wolverton of the United States court has rendered a decision in the famous case of the Goodnough Mercantile Stock Company of Elgin vs. Cecil Galloway and the First Na tional bank of Elgin, which likely end a case that has been in court since 1903. About May, 1903, G. W. Buck was carrying on a sawmill business near Elgin, and the G. M. & S. Co. mer chants of Elgin, in order that he might be able to carry on his busi ness, entered Into a contract with Buck by which they agreed to fur nish him supplies with the agreement that, that company should have a lien on all of the timber that he should buy, and on all the logs and lum ber that he should cut or manufac ture. This contract was not in wri ting. The company furnished Buck supplies and money to carry on the business amounting to more than 40, 000.00, over and above what he paid them. About May. 1903, tte First bank of Elgin, having a claim against Buck on an old debt of a considerable amount, through its attorney Col. Ivanhoe, began an action against Buck an dattached all of his logs and lumber, the bank claming that the G.. M. & S. Co. had no lien on the lumber and logs and claiming that their pretended lien was void. The Q. M. & S. Co. employed the firm of Kamsey & Oliver as its at torneys and a legal battle begau, the company asserting its lien on th8 timber, logs and lumber of Buck. Buck was adjudged a bankrupt by the U. S. Court and Cecil Galloway of Elgin was made trustee. The company began a suit "in tne State Circuit Court of this county be fore Judge Eukin to foreclose their lien. . This suit was begun against the First bank of Elgin and Galloway and G. W. Buck. Ramsey fcOliver appeared as at torneys for the G. M. & S. Co. and J. D. Slater and Col. Ivanhoe for the defendants. About a month was con sumed In taking the testimony be fore a referee. The defendants demurred to the complaint and claimed that the State Court had no jurisdiction of the case. Judge Eakin, after hearing the de murrer argued, overruled it and held that his court had jurisdiction. The case was tried on its merits and Judge Eakin decided in favor of the company and its Hen. Then the de fendants appealed to the Supremo Court and the case was there tried and that court finally held that the State Court had no jurisdiction, and that is was a matter foi adjudication la I ho Federal Cou.v. This left the parties where they be gan with the hou ra in favor of the defendants, but nouilig whatever had been settled as to rue merits of the matter. Then, the company began a 6Uit In the United States District Court at Portland, before Judge Wolverton. The issues were about the same as in the State Courcs. Mi. J. D. Slater appeared for the de fendants, the bank and Galloway, wh.le Ramsey & Oliver represeaccd the plaintiff company again. Mr. Slater had won out In the Stat3 Su preme Court on the claim that the State Court had no Jurisdiction When the Co. wen into the Federal Court the defendaiaa demurred again, claiming, Inter alia, that the Federal Court had no jurisdiction of thl suit. This was considered rather strange by the plaintiff's counsel, as the at torneys for the defendants had claim ed in the State Court that the U. S, Court had " exclusive Jurisdiction of the subject matter. However, the U. S. Court overruled the defendants' demurrer. The case was put at Is sue and it was tried by agreement on the evidence taken In the .case in the State Court, and this case wan argued on June 9th, 1908, in Port land, before Judge Wolverton, by W. M. Ramsey, for the company plaintiff and by J. D. Slater for the Elgin bank and Cecil Galloway, de fendants. : Owing to the crowded state of the docket of the Court, this case was not decided until last week, when Judge Wolverton decided It In favor of the O..M.-& S. Co., the. plalnttcs. This matter hag been 13 Court about six years. The first battle was won by the plaintiffs before Judge Eakin, and the second by the defendants In the State Supreme Court, while the third battle was won by the plain tiffs In he U. S.
