Attorney J. C. Moreland, of Portland, has been in Oregon City several times lately. It now transpires that he is trying to get a change of venue for the trial of Dan Magone on the charge of the robbery of Ladd's grave.

Another point is that many of the witnesses live in Clackamas county, and it would be a saving of ex pense to have the continued trial in this county. Letter List.
