In tho oircuit court for Josephine
county last week, II. W. Jackson se
cured a verdict for 1000 and costs
against Chas. Baker. The action was
brought on account of certain trans

mine was sold by Jackson, Baker et
al., to T. Wain Draper and his asso
ciates, a homestead held by Baker
contiguous to the mine was included
and Baker was paid S1000 for his im
provements thereon. Subsequently it
was developed that tho land upon
which the improvements were had
no connection with that described
in Baker's homestead filing. A de
mand upon Baker for the 1000 failed
