A LAW SUIT BREWING.
CLACKAMAS COUNTY ASK
ED TO PAY FOR BACK
CLERK JURE.
John LueUing Seeks to Recove
$1,440,00 Paid to Clerks
During His Term of
Office.
The preliminary steps towards
vigorous law suit against Clackamas
county were taken on Monday mornin
when A. LueUing, who was formerly th
County Court Recorder of the county,
through his attorneys, Hon. G. B.
Dimick and L Story filed a statement
in the commissioners court of the county
asking that Mr. LueUing be paid the
sum (1,440,00 being the amount paid out
by him for clerk hire during his term ot
office.
It seems that Mr. LueUing was elect
ed on the Populist ticket in 1896 and
ssrved two years as recorder of county
conveyance in the clerks office and that
during that time be employed clerks and
that while the county board of com
missioners never made any allowances
for their pay the same is a just claim on
the county and may even at this late
day have to be paid. Mr. LueUing
was elected on a Populist plat
form that among other things agreed
that all clerk hire should be paid by the
various county officials. As the
question has been passed on by the
Supreme court of the state and adverse
ly to the county, it is not at all unlikely
that the county will in the end have to
pay this claim. The petition to the
Board of County Coinm issioners reads
as follows:
Is Thk Commissioners Court oe thb
Btatb op Oregon for the County
op Clackamas.
To the Honorable Bjardiof County
Commissioners of Clackamas County,
Oregon.
Now at this time comes A. Luelling and
petitions your honorable body as follows :
That between the first Monday in July,
1896 and the first Monday in July, 1898,

of bim by the laws of the Btate of Ore
gin. That during all of said time between
the first Monday in July 1896 and the
first Monday in July 1898, the volume
of business in said office was so great,
that it was necessary for the petitioners

That on and after the first Monday in
July, 1896, this petitioner as such re
corder duly appointed his deputy as

the leelslature of Oreeen. entitled, an
act to amend an act to change in part
the compensation and mode of payment
thereof to the county clerks, recorders
of conveyances, etc (Page 83, laws of
1B95, section 11) and the said county
court failed, netlected and refused to
enter the said appointments upon its
minutes, and to make an order fixing
the amount to be paid to the said deputy
recorder for the services performed by
him, as required by the said section of
the laws above referred to.
That during all of said time between
the first Monday in July, 1896 and the
first Monday in July, 1898, the labors of
a deputy were necessary in the per
formance of the duties in said office of
recorder of conveyances and that a
deputy was employed, during all of said
time In the performance of said duties
and work.
That the following named persons
were duly appointed and rendered ser
vices to Clackamas county as deputy
recorder between the said dates as afore
said, and during the incumbency of this
petitioner in .said office, viz: Oliver
Luelling from the first Monday m Juiy,
1896, to the first day of August, 1896; 0.
A. LueUing from the first day of August,
1890, to the 31st day of March, 1898;
8. C. Priestly from the first day of April,
1898, to the first Monday in July, 1898.
That the services of the said deputy
recorder while so employed as abovi
mentioned was and is reasonably worth,
and were and are of the value of sixty
dollars per month.
That the said Olive Luelling, C. A.
LueUing and S. O. Priestly, for value
received have duly sold, assigned and
transferred to this petitioner all of their
rights, title and interest in and to the
said claims and this petitioner is now
the owner and holder thereof.
That there is now due and owing from
Clackamas county to this petitioner and
claimant for said services for deputy re
corder during said time the sum of $14 0
being 24 months at $60 per month.
