Tyler filed a new suit In the circuit court Buturday In a bi.c ond attempt to collect 10,000 from Attorney John N. Slevers ot Oregon City, and Attorney George A. Hall oi this city. ThU ntnount was alleged to have been obtained by fraud by tlic attorneys. Harry Henderson filed a suit for 1100,000 against Mrs. Tyler alleging! her son, Captain William Tyler, ha won the affections ot bis wife, Kthel j Henderson. Hall was attorney fori Henderson and Slevers tor Tyler and j according to complaint the case was settled for $20,000, Slevers receiving f 5,000 ot thla and the balance was di vided between the Hendersons ana Hall. Mrs. Tyler sued "to recover the money, alleging It was too much for attorney's fees and It bad been ob tained by threats while she waa ill In bed.

Failure ot tho first suit was due to the failure of Mrs. Tyler's attorney, Makellm, to atisert in the complaint that all the allegations made in the alienation action were false. Judge Morrow held that as long as tho pleadings did not deny all the alienations of that suit, he could not but hold that there was a possibility that the $26,000 bad not been extort ed, but waa in settlement of a real case. In the suit just filed all the ac cusations made by Henderson aguliiBt Mm. Tyler are held to be un true.

YOUNG SOLDIER RETURNS Henry Maddux, who has been In the service, and haa been overseas for over a year, surprised his moth er, Mrs. James Manley, and other rel atives, Tuesday evening, and return ed to thla city. Henry Maddux was only about 16 years of age when he entered the service, and has mado an excellent soldier. He has gained In weight, and has thoroughly en joyed his experiences in France. His brother, Sam Maddux, who has been it. C""m Lewis, has returned to Ore- gon City, having received hla honor able discharge, as also hii brother, enry- Walter A. The untimely death of State Senator Walter A. Dimick removes from public life in Oregon one of its best knowip figures. After having represented Clacka mas County in six consecutive sessions of the legisla ture, the late senator was ,a widely known man. He plunged in(o political activity at an early age, and loved the battles jncident to campaigns for office and the ex citement ot legislative sessons. Dimick possessed a combatant nature, and like all such natures, he made many enemies, who, however, respected and feared him. By the same token he had many warm friends who were ready, in their admira tion for the fighting qualities that were always upper most in his public career, to go to the last ditch with him and for him. It was the loyalty of these friends that made him so formidable and brought to him the continuation of success in public life. Such a man will certainly be missed not merely by his family and close friends, but by the scores of men with whom he has been closely associated in a public way. He voted against more measures than any other member of the state senate and took a grim satisfaction in roundly denouncing those whom he believed to be enemies' of the interests of the people that he had been elected to serve. Mr. Dimick was a clever organizer and a keen de bater. He had more than ordinary legislative foresight, and laid his plans carefully to encompass the defeat of measures to which he was bitterly opposed. Sometimes he failed, but never without a hard fight that frequently echoed from one end of the state to the other. He was of a most determined mind and was ambitious. He look ed forward to a time when he might represent his dis trict in congress, and he might, had not the stern hand of death intervened, have ultimately realized this ambi tion. His passing creates a vacancy in the state senate that will be filled by the people of Clackamas County next year. FAILS TO AGREE IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES A Jury in the circuit court Friday failed to reach a verdict in the case of Frieda Schmid against the county for $2,000.

Brownell and Livy Stipp represented the plaintiff and District Attorney Hedges and Deputy Durke represented the state.
