ASKS FOR AN INJUNCTION
Mrs. Horn L emands Interest
In $?0u0 Estate Which
She Assisted Li
Building Up.
Hedges & Griffith, Mrs. Horn's at
torneys, tiled a suit Monday against
E. W. Hornshuh, Charles F. Horn and
0. Schuebel, praying tor a temporary
injunction restraining Hornshuh, and
Sclieubel, as Jiis attorney, from pro
ceeding further in an action to eject
Mrs. Horn from the house that she
noy occupies with her family, and
asking that upjii final hearing, the
injunction be made permanent, also
for a decree declaring Y9id ft deed,
form Hwil to IIorMiuli of tlta for
mer's property in this state.
The complaiiif reoites that Mrs.
Horn and her husband Charles F.
Horn, by their united tabors Biid en
ergies, accumulated $9000 dufin? the
35 years of their marriage. Lust Ue
ceinber he sued for a divorce and the
facts alleged in the dnoi'oe com
plaint were not sustained by his evi
dence. A large stun ot money, $800,
was wasted, a large portiou of which
wont to Mr. Schuebel and lils partner.
In the latter part of Junnary, of this
year, after the suit of Mr. Horn for a
divorce had been denied by the court,
Hornshuh, a nuph.-w of Horn, and
Mr. Schuebel prevailed npon Horn to
deliver a pretended deed to all of his
property in this state, except a home
stead in Donglas county, and at that
time Horn was insane and incapable.
A few. days after the transfer was
made, Hornshuh served notice npon
Mrs. Horn to vacate the Iioush where
she resides with her ohildren, and
Mr j. Horn refuging to vacate, Horn
shuh Hied a suit for the restitution
of the property and ffiO damages. This
suit is still pending and Horn is un
derstood to be somewhere in Califor
nia, The Horn case has been in the
courts in one way and another for
many months. Last winter Horn's
family endeavored to have him com
mittdd to the insane asylum, but
failed. 1 The row will be tried ont at
the coming session of the circuit court,
which oouvenea next Monday.
COURT TAKES A JAUNT.
Inspects Eagle Township, the Streets of
Which May Be Vacated.
County Court went to Eagle Creek
Tuesday to inspect the towusite. A
petition has been, filed by E. N. Foster
and Elsie Foster, and Noah E. Sting-
ley, owners of the towusite, for the
vacation of its streets and alleys, and
Earl E. Elliott has remonstrated.
The effort of the owners of the site to
boom the place has resulted in failure,
and Elliott, who purchased prop
erty there after the town was platted,
avers that he will be damaged by the
vacation of the streets. From Eagle
Creek the court; went to Sandy, and
from there to Marmot and the Upper
Sandy bridge. Before going to Eagle
Creek, the members of the court made
a trip to Milwaukie to test a new road
grader.

merly both mills were under one root,
but in order to prevent any recurrence
of a fire that would take both mills, if
one went with the names, the shingle
mill has been separated from the saw

and stated that the sawmill would be

THOUSANDS
LOST IN TAXES
Clackamas Out $40,000 By
Passage of New Law.
SIX YEARS IS THE LIMIT
County Must Give Up Hope
of Securing Unpaid Taxes
Assessed Prior to
; Clackamas oounty is a loser ' by
$40,000 or morse on account of the fas'
law passed by the recent legislature.
Copies of the session laws were re
ceived here Mor.day and Judge Ryan
was amazed to read House Bill 151,
which he supposed had gone down to
defeat. The bill reads t'tis way :
Seo 1. That any tax levied by any
county for any purpose whatever shall
be conclusively deemed to have been
paid at the end of six years from the
time when Bach tax became delin
quent.
Sec 3. no procedure shall betaken
for the collection of any tax levied
by any oonnty after six years from
the time when such tax became de
linquent, and all proceedings for the
attempted collection of any tax after
six years from the time when such
tax became delinquent, shall be il
legal and void.
This moanB that any taxes due the
county of any kind prior to 1809, can
not be collected. During the exist
ence of the mortgage tax law in 181)0,
1891 and thousands of dollars
due the oounty under that law were
not paid. People generally were op
posed to the law, and as a rule did not
pay tne tax, nut in the years that
have elapsed sinoe that time, mortgage
taxes have been coining in now and
theu, and have meant something to
the oounty treasury. Only the last
term of conrt, the oonnty reoeived
$72 on an old mortgage tax, and after
90 days from the date of the adjourn
ment of the legislature, these pay
ments will cease.
In the years of 1895 and 1896, when
the delinquent property was sold for
taxes, the oonnty did not bid in any
of it. as the county conrt conceived
the idea that the oonnty, by bidding
in the property , would become re
sponsible for school and city taxes as
sessed against the property. Accord
ingly this means another loss to the
oounty.
Judge Kyan will proceed to arrange
for the sale of delinquent property
that is inside the six-year limitation,
in order that the tonnty will not lose
any more money because of the pas
sage of the law.
Badly' Burned.
Frank, the 18-year-old son of E. C.
Selby, of Ely, was badly burned Son
day afternoon by the explosion of a
can of powder. He secured the pow
der from the boose, and telling his
playmates to stay in a safe place,
took the can out in a Held and touched
a match to it. Dr. Stuart wag called
and relieved the little sufferer.

Fate of Educational Exhibit
In Doubt.
FUNDS NOT AVAILABLE
City School Board Takes Bull
By Horns and Will Make
Independent ;
Exhibit. '
The fate of the educational exhibit
from Clackamas oonnty nt tlio Lewis
and Clark Fair trembles in the bal
ance becanse of the refusal of the ex
ecutive committee to appropriate
money for the expense of making the
exhibit, and such work that has been
done will be stored in the office of
County Superintendent J. O. Ziuser,
pending further possible action. This
dos not apply, however, to the Ore
gon City schools, as the board of di
rectors last Monday authorized Super
intendent Clark to make an indepen
dent exhibit, the expense to bo borne
in the main by the voluntary contri
butions from the pupils. County Su
perintendent Zinzer is opposed to this
method, and feels that the county
conrt and the exenctive committee
should defray the whole expense. The
ednoational committee has issued the
following statement to teachers and
school officers throughout the county:
"Inasmuch as the county conrt and
the committee on oonnty exhibits have
definitely decided that an educational
exhibit to the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition, from this county, is not a le
gitimate object for the disbursement
of publio funds, the only oonrse left
open is to collect the exhibit and ar
range it in the superintendent's office,
hoping thai the oounty court or the
executive uommitttee may find some
way to provide funds for installing it.
"We should exceedingly regret to
have Claokamas county exoluded from
the educational exhibit, especially at
this time, when it behooves us to bund
onr united energies to the accomplish
ment of the one objutot to show our
Eastern visitors, ' to the best advan
tage, all of the resources of Clackamas
county, not merely material resources,
which are readily taken for granted,
but also educational advantages,
which are not always found or ex
pected in newly settled communities,
but which the wise homesoeker con
siders of prime importance.
'it would be a great disappoint
ment to both teachers and pupils, who
have labored so faithfully to prepare
the exhibits, should it now be aban
doned." Army Raising Funds.
Salvation Army is making an effort
to raise $100 to be applied ou the pay
ment of a mortgage against their bur
rucks in this city. Lieutenant Ward
has the matter in hand and is mak
ing a canvass of the city. The Army
relies upon the pnblio for its support
and are usually not disappointed, for
they are known to reach a class of
people that the churches cannot touch.
