12 THE alOBKlNG- OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY. OCTOBEE 8, 1903. BAD FAITH NOT SHOWN SMITH FAILS TO PROVE TIMBER. CLAIMS ARE BAD. Judsre Frnxcr Rules Affalnut Man Who Snet'd Locators Conflicting; Evidence aa to Value. "There Is nothing: in this case to show that Mrs. Burnces and Mr. Cook did not jict in good faith. Mr. Smith, -was taken to the land and (given every opportunity to examine It, nd was urged to go on and examine it. Hie was told the kind of timber it was. There is no evi dence of any trickery. The court must find, from the evidence pre sented that the land was as represented. The only evidence to the contrary was that cf Mr. Matrtson, who has had no ex perience In examining that kind of tim ber, and who went over only about 40 ncres of the land when he was down there. On the Dther hand, there is the evidence of Mr. Hodges and Mr. Grant, and these otlfier men familiar with that kind of timber, and who impress the court as testifying honestly and fairly, which goes tot show that the lands were as the defendants had represented them. 1 sympathize wjith Mr. Smith, but I think pe made his gniaA mistake by relying too Implicitly on hiti cruiser's report and get ting panic-stricken. The findings will be lor the defendants." Tljese were the remarks made by Judge Frazer yesterday't&ftemoon In rendering a decision in the Isuit of E. A. Lees ton !mith against S. V. Cook and Mrs. Jessie Burness to recover money he had paid them for locating ihlm and his wife and daughter on three Vtimber claims in Xin teoln County. Smiti. sought to get back fals investment, amounting to $346, because tof alleged misrepresentations as to the character of the land by Burness and Cook, but the court decided in favor of the defendants, -and alao went further. holding Smith, must payj Burness & Cook $100, which he still owesl them on account of the transaction. The only evidence broitght by the plain tiff to prove that the claims were not as represented by him was the testimony of one Mattson, a young timber cruiser tvhoin he had sent to eiramlne the lands. Mattson spent between, four and six ihours In his examination, and returned and reported the lands worthless. Mr. Smith then abandoned- his proceedings In 2the land office and bjrought suit to re cover the money he had paid, about $350. At the hearing the defendants proved by tho evidence of George Hodges, the cruiser who guided thse party at the time the locations were made, and by B. JF. Grant, Willis Grant, Thomas "Wilson, Oliver Altree, Leroy Brown, and the de fendant, &. F. Cook himself, Lincoln County people familiar with the land, that the claims were as represented to the plaintiff, and were really quite val uable cedar claims. It appeared that Hodges and his wife and "Willis Grant have taken three of the claims since Mr. Smith's abandonment of them. During the argument by A. L. Veazie, attorney for the defendants, Judge Fra Ecr interrupted, and, referring to the con Icting nature of n& evidence of some of the witnesses, said: "It. is like the trial of a damage suit against a street rail w y company, where the testimony as to the speed of the car will vary from 2 milis to 15, and from very good wlt nessr o i." ' Sm :u xp'sses himself as very much dlsa. ointetl at the outcome of the suit, and says he probably will appeal to tho Supremo urt. HUSBAND COXTESTS THE SUIT. 51 ami el Jlnnson Accuses "Wife of In dlKcrrtions, "Which She Denies. Manuel Munson has filed an answer to the divorce suit of Belle Hunson, In which he recites that he always treated his wife as a devoted husband should, and turned over to her his monthly earn ings for her support. He alleges that Mrs. Munson on the contrary has not conducted herself in a proper manner, and that she has con sorted with other men in beer halls and back rooms of saloons, and has ap peared to bo greatly infatuated with a man named Louis Reman. Munson avers that against his request his wife visited Reman's shop daily, and also at bight, and was once locked with him in a room for an hour or more. He says he reproved her for such acts, and asked her not to associate with people of Questionable reputation, and to his re monstrances she turned a deaf ear. Munson further alleges that he re quested his wife to go with him to Call fornla, leaving all her past evil asso ciates, and begin life anew. Mrs. Munson has filed a reply denying all the accusations made by her hus iand. She asserts that he did not turn over all his earnings to her, but only part of them for household expenses, hardly sufficient for the purpose. She denies that she frequented saloons, or is Infatuated with Louis Reman, or was ever in a room with him. She states further that Munson expressed a desire that she should not live with him and insisted on her leaving him, sand made tirelr home unendurable. She denies that her husband went to California to make a now home, and that she was to follow him, and says that Munson went to California for the purpose of getting rid 'of her. CHILD. RESTORED TO FATHER, Contest for Her Custody "Was Seftuel to Divorce. A habeas corpus petition filed by Frank Clute asking for the possession of his child. Hazel Clute, who, he alleged, was unlawfully withheld from him by Mary E. Krider, the grandmothcr of Hazel, was granted by Judge Cleland yesterday. The facts in the case, as presented to the Court by John F. Logan, attorney, -were that several years ago Clute obtained a divorce from his wife in Jackson County, and allowed the mother to retain possession of the child, because he was employed in traveling through the coun ty selling threshing machines and had no fixed place of residence. The mother died on September 31 test, leaiing the child in tho care of the grandmother. Mary Krider. The grandmother, so Clute says, hid Hazel away from him, and would not permit him to see her. A few days ago he obtained an order from Cir: cult Judge H. R. Hanna, of Jackson Cciynty, giving hiiri the sole possession and custody of Hazel, and the habeas corpus petition was based on this order. After Judge Cleland had rendered a decision in favor of Clute, he permitted Mrs. Krider to take the child home with her to remain for the present, and it seems probable that the parties will come to an amicable understanding. Recently Mrs. Krider filed a petition in the County Court asking to be appointed guardian of Hazel, but the order of Judge Hanna giving the child to the father, finally disposed of the case. DIVORCE AFTER THIRTY YEARS. Old Couple, "Whose Declining; Years Are Marred by Quarrel. After SO years of married life Anne Lundberg appeared before Judge George yesterday seeking a divorce from Charles Lundberg and a settlement of their prop erty rights. The parties were married in Portland and their children are grown except two boys, aged 19 and 16 years re spectively. The members of the family, including a little grandchild, were nearly all present during the trial. Mrs. Lundberg testified that her hus band of recent years has abused her a great deal,' has falsely accused her of un chasity and failed to provide for her. The evidence showed that both Mr. and Mrs. Lundberg a long time ago were employed in the household of W. S. Lndd. They saved their earnings and purchased a farm, which they 'subsequently disposed of for $14,000 and divided the money equally. They afterwards purchased an other farm, paying about $7000 for it in equal shares. Lundberg managed things so that soon the money remaining was all gone, and there was a $1600 mortgage on the place. He testified that he ran be hind for a number of years, and the losses and support of the family used up all of the surplus cash and more too. He had an account book containing a record of expenditures. According to Lundberg's statement, the debts on the place caused the trouble between him and his wife. He said he liked her and did not want a divorce. Mrs. Lundberg testified to the contrary, and said her husband treated her so badly, even In the presence of the children, that it was impossible for her to live with him any longer. She related specific acts of cruelty. The children testified in favor of the mother, and one of the sons stated that they gave their mother $210 to pay on the mortgage so as to protect the prop erty. Tho family difficulties were gone over at considerable length. After the evidence was all In, A. R. Mendenhall, attorney for the defense, ad dressed the court, stating that Lundberg does not want a divorce, and that the couple should be able to patch up their differences. Julius C Moreland, counsel for Mrs. Lundberg. said that a compromise was Impossible. Mrs. Lundberg could not stand the turmoil and quarrels any longer. J.:e wanted peace In her few remaining years. ESCAPES BY BANKRUPTCY. Barrett Released From Jail "Without Paying: Hume's Fee. George Barrett was released from the County Jail yesterday by order of Judge Cleland. Barrett was arrested a week ago on complaint of John F. Watts, who charged him with being an absconding debtor. Watts held an assigned claim of W. T. Hume, an attorney, for $1000 fees, alleged to be due for defending Barrett several years ago on a murder charge. Barrett shot and killed Frank Williams, and through the efforts of his attorney he was acquitted. Barrett came here to attend tho races at Irvlngton Park, and his arrest on the absconding debtor charge was based on the fact that he is a nonresident of Portland and was about to leave the city without paying Hume. After ho was lodged in the County Jail an ad ditional charge of threatening to kill was lodged against him. It was alleged in this connection that he told Deputy Sheriff Johnson, when the latter took him in custody at the race track, that he would fix Hume the same way he fixed Williams. Yesterday morning B. S. Pague repre senting Barrett as counsel, filed a petition In the United States Destrlct Court to have Barrett adjudged a bankrupt. This re lieved him of the claim of $1000 held by Hume, and on the other charge Barrett was released on $300 ball. Barrett says his wife's mother before the trial gave Hume a deed for some land for his fee, which Hume accepted, but the latter subsequently asserted that the land was taken on mortgage foreclosure and he sued for his fee. Barrett says Hume was informed of the mortgage, which was for $500, and that the land was appraised at $2500. SUITS TO QUIET TITLE. More Property-Owners Seek: to Can cel Tax Liens. Suits against Multnomah County to quiet tax liens are still numerous. Tho Alliance Trust Company yesterday sued the county to quiet title to lots 2 and 3, block 101. East "Portland. School District No. 1 is made a codefendant, and an order has been signed by Judge Cleland, restraining Sheriff Storey from selling the property at a delinquent tax sale now in progress. The Meridan Investment & Trust Com pany has sued Multnomah County to quiet title to certain land in the William Mo- Clung donation claim. M. C Harrison & Co. have filed suit against Multnomah County to quiet title to lots 7 and 8, block 85, Carter's Addi tion to Portland. MAY RELEASE CLAIM. Advance Made Toward Settlement of Wolff & Zwlcker's Affairs. It is reported that the claim of -the United States Government .for $75,000 against Wolff & Z wicker, growing out of the failure of the firm to successfully construct the torpedo-boat Goldsborough, Is to be released. H. G. Piatt, trustee in bankruptcy for Wolff & Zwlcker. has re turned from the East and the prospects are that the bankruptcy case will be closed within the next 60 days. If the Government relinquishes its claim, it will facilitate the winding up of affairs greatly. The trustee has about $65,000 which is sufficient to pay the deferred claims, and there may be enough left to pay a small dividend to the general cred itors. The total of all the claims is large. Fees for Habeas Corpus Cases. A charge for filing habeas corpus peti tions in the State Circuit Court will be made in future. Judge Cleland made this announcement yesterday, but Bald also that he would consult with the other Judges on the subject. Habeas corpus matters In the past have been attended to free of cost. Judge Cleland yesterday re marked that a great many of such cases are brought on the slightest excuse. He said they took up considerable time; that there had been no money in them, but there should be from now on. Blllinpr and Cooing: of Bllllnfrtons. Dr. C. BUlington was granted a divorce from Lizzie M. Billington by Judge Sears yesterday, because of cruel treatment. The testimony showed that the parties were married In Colorado in 1900, and in September. 1902, at Lafayette, Mrs. Bill ington called her husband a robber, and low-down dog, and threatened to mash his face with her fist. Billington said that on another occasion she kicked him in the face. ( Says Hob art H. Wilson Is Insane. James H. Wilson yesterday filed a pe tition In the County Court that his brother, Robert H. Wilson, be examined as to his sanity. He states that his brother is confined in a hospital, and Is incapable of attending to his affairs. Rob ert H. Wilson has lived In Portland for about 30 years, and Is well known as an abstracter of titles. "Garland" stoves ana ranges Dako the bread end roast the meats that make toe man. LIKE AN ELEVATOR Food Sends One Up or Down. Good food sends one up or bad food sends one down. Health depends on food more than on anything else and particularly where one gets but little exercise care must be used not to eat greasy, pasty, starchy foods that do not nourish but cause trouble. A big man whose normal weight is 220 pounds thought he was a skeleton when he fell off to 1S5. He says: "I had been housed up for four years and was run down from my normal weight of 220 pounds when In health to 1S5 pounds. was very nervous and generally careworn mentally and felt sick and miserable all the time, getting very little pleasure out of life. "Then I commenced using Grape-Nuts regularly twice a day and in a short time I had gained back to 215 pounds at which weight I am now getting strong and well and actlye both physically and mentally All my troubles have disappeared and I am lively and happy. "I am not a youngster any more In years but Grape-Nuts has made me feel younger and stronger than for a great many years past." There s a reason. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

Manager of Factory at La Grande Talks of the Industry How the Fnnners Slake Money. George Stoddard, manager of the beet sugar factory at La Grande, wa3 in the city yesterday. ' "We shall have about 12,000 tons of beets this year." said Mr. Stoddard. "Last year we had 17,000. The reduced yield 'Is due to the cold, dry weather of last Spring which hindered tho germina tion of the seed. We had to plough up about 500 acres because the plants came up so poorly. We expected at that time to get hardly any beets at all this year, but the Summer: season was favorable and many fields redeemed themselves. "Weare harvesting from 1800 acres of land. Last year the number of acres was about 2500. The average yield in 1302 was between five and six tons per acre. This year we expect the average to go as high as seven tons. But for the ad verse conditions of last Spring the yield would be much larger. "The average sugar content of the beets so far this season has been 14.9 per cent. Last year it was a little more than 16 per cent. About three weeks tgo heavy rains began, which started the beets to growing again and lessened the proportion of sugar. Yes, the beets would grow larger if we should permit them to do so. We don't dare, however, to put off harvesting any longer. Work as fast as we may, we cannot finish the harvest for a month yet, and a freeze up is likely to catch the beets In the ground by that time. Last year our first cold snap came In the middle of Novem ber. "Our factory has been running for ten days. It will operate about 30 days more. Our output of sugar will be 35,000 bags of 100 pounds each. Last year we pro duced 45,000 bags. "The culture of sugar beets In Grand Ronde is getting on a permanent basis. The unfit lands are being eliminated. The process of selecting the lands adapted to the industry has been slow and also expensive In many cases. Our great need is more water In July and August. If there was plenty of water we should have no difficulty in getting all the beets we need. A large amount of land that has sufficient water Is available for our pur pose, but we have had difficulty in se curing it or In contracting with its own ers. But we are slowly adding to tho acreage at our disposal. "There's money In growing beets if farmers have the right kind of land. Mr. Caviness, for example, has ISO acres for the product of which he has contracted with us. He will raise between 15 and 20 tons to the acre and will receive $4.50 per ton. The cost of raising the beets jvlll be about $30 per acre, and he will receive from $S0 to $100 per acre for his product. So you see a given area of land should yield as much as ten tons to the acre in order to insure a fair profit." WHO KNOWS OF LOTTERIES? Chief Hunt Want Information About Tickets and Their Sellers. Lottery tickets of any kind and persons who sell them are wanted by Chief Hunt. He's trying to find such things and has Instructed all the policemen to carefully follow up any rumor of the sale of lot tery tickets. He has asked a number of officers if they had any information on the subject and they have told him no, they knew of nothing of the kind being carried on. The Chinese lotteries are all quiet, pend ing the trial of the proprietors raided two weeks ago. The trial has been set for Friday and no continuance will probably be allowed. The attorneys of the Chinese have been working up several lines of defense, and an Interesting trial la promised. Ohio Man ncad of Graindealers. VT'-RAPOTJS. Minn.. Oct. 7. S. S.
