CITED TO APPEftR
W. M. Ladd Summoned by
County Judge.
MUST ANSWER IN TEN.DAYS
'Administrator of A. II. Johnson Es
tate "Will Bo Asked to Show
Cause Why He Should
Not Be Removed.
County Judge "Webster yesterday Issued
a citation requiring "William M. Ladd to
appear "before his court within ten days
to show cause "why he should not be re
moved as administrator of the estate of
A.. H. Johnson, as petitioned for by the
heirs. It Is not known when Mr. Ladd
-will answer the summons of the court.
One of the -charges made against Mr.
Ladd by the petitioners and not referred
to In yesterday's account deals with the
settlement of the Isam "White claim of
317.000 against the estate, which was
part of the Indebtedness named In the
dtclaratlon of trust. The petitioners
tstate that this was one of the claims
which should have been paid by Mr.
tLadd.
It Is alleged by the petitioners In their
prayer to the court asking that Mr. Ladd
be removed both as trustee of the es
tate and as the administrator, that not
withstanding his obligations as trustee
Mr. Ladd made no effort whatever to
take care of the Indebtedness or to pro
Tide for its payment. It Is pointed out
tthat "White, on April 1C. 1894, on the day
of A. H. Johnson's death and but a few
hours "before that time, "brought suit in
the Circuit Court for the payment of the
claim held by him against Johnson, at
the same time attaching a great deal of
real property belonging to the defendant.
Cordelia Johnson, as the administratrix
of the Johnson estate, was substituted
as the defendant In the suit a short time
after the death of Mr. Johnson, and not
withstanding the fact that there was no
defense against the validity of the debt
charged by White, so the petitioners set
out, Ladd Induced Mrs. Johnson to con
test the case on technical grounds. Upon
the death of Mrs. Johnson. Mr. Ladd was
Substituted as administrator of the es
tate for Mrs. Johnson and became the
defendant In the case, which was still
pending, and continued the litigation until
April 21. 1902. when the case was finally
settled by the decision of the Supreme
Court In favor of "White.
Cloud on Ills Title.
The petitioners allege that after the
suit was brought by "White and before
Mr. Ladd was appointed administrator
of the estate, he brought suit against
Mrs. Johnson and the heirs of the estate
and Isam "White, asking that the deed of
January 25, 1894, be reformed to take In
another tract of land not Included In the
deed of trust, and upon which White had
filed an attachment, alleging that the at
tachment by White was a cloqd to his
(Ladd's) title to the land.
It is alleged that prior to the final hear
ing of the "White case, lots 7 and 8 In
talock 5 of Portland, which had been at
tached, wore sold by order of the court,
hut that Mr. Ladd offered nc objection
to this sale, confining his objections to
the sale of a tract that included the land
ventonded for and secured In his suit
against Mrs. Johnson and the estate. The
Johnson home was also In this list.
Expense of Litigation Heavy.
The expense of all this litigation was
very great, so the petitioners point out.
and was taxed against the estate. Includ
ing 51000 allowed for White's attorney's
fees. The original debt of 517,000 was
evidenced by promissory notes bearing
10 per cent Interest, which had been en
tered as claims against the estate. The
two lots, 7 and 8, were sold to the Occi
dent Investment Company for 518,000.
though they had been appraised at 535,000,
bs shown by Mr. Ladd's sworn Inventory
of March 3, 1899. This amount realized
"by the sale of the lots, not being suffi
cient to satisfy the White claim, on Sep
tember 18, 1903. Mr. Ladd, as adminis
trator, borrowed for the estate from him
self, as trustee, 516.004.48. with which to
redeem the Johnson home property, which
had been sold under judgment, and which
was claimed by Mr. Ladd, at the same
time crediting himself as administrator
"with 535,000. the appraised value of the
two lots which had been sold for 518,000.
The Johnson home, as it appeared in the
administrator's report, was bringing a
monthly rental of 5175 at this time,
i
The Occident Transaction.
The petitioners set out that the Occi
dent Investment Company, which bought
the lots 7 and S, of block 5. for 518.000,
was organized a few days before the sale
of the' lots, and that a short time after
receiving a Sheriff's deed to the lots sold
them to J. H. Lambert for 530,000. It Is
noted that the secretary of the corpora
tion who signed the deed transferrlngr the
land to Mr. Lambert was one of the ad
ministrator's attorneys who had repre
sented him In the suit against Mrs. John
Bon and White.
It is alleged by the petitioners that the
only transaction ever entered Into by the
the Occident Investment Company was
the purchase and sale of these two lots,
and that it was really formed for that
purpose alone.
In summing up the contention, the pe
titioners argue that In fostering all of
the costly litigation which necessitated
the sacrifice of property valued at 535.000.
and the further expenditure of 516.004.48
xt borrowed money to settle an honest
debt of 517.000, against which there had
been no defense in the first place, the ad
ministrator has failed and neglected to
protect the interests of the estate, and
has acted solely In his own interest and
that of his bank.

Rules Against New Line.
The department has refused J. A. Hav
erton, of Ilwaco, Wash., permission to
string telephone wires on Weather Bu

tention of the men at North Head, who
would expect private remuneration to
Government employes, which Is against
the policy of the Government: second. It
would put the Government in the posi
tion of assisting a private line that would

Sheriff Word Will Bring Back
Denver Suspect.
MAY FACE MURDER CHARGE
Barber Arrested for Larceny Known
to Have Been Associate or J.
Li. Anderson, Murdered
Xcar Bonneville. '
Sheriff Tom Word left last night for
Denver, for the purpose of bringing Frank
Gonzales, now In custody at that place,
back to Portland. The charge on which
Gonzales is h;Id is larceny from a dwell
In?, but the local county officials have
reason to believe that he may be Impli
cated In a more serious offense.
Frank Gonzales, who Is a barber by
trade. Is known to have associated with
J. L. Anderson, the man who was found
murdered near Bonneville, In this county,
on the night of August 17. The murdered
man had but recently come to Portland
from Kansas City, Mo., and at the time
of his death was on his way home, hav
ing been sent for by his mother. Ander
son had met with several reverses while
here and was known to be down on his
luck, and when the request of his mother
was received, the young man lost no time
in caving the'clty. In some manner he
was lured from the train at Bonneville,
and on the night of August 17 his body
was discovered In a clump of bushes near
that place. His skull had been crushed
with a heavy bar of railroad Iron. He
was known to havo had J100 on his per
son upon his departure from this city, and
robbery is believed to have been the mo
tive for the crime.
Sheriff Word obtained a valuable clew
to the probable murderer, and on the
strength of the same succeeded in locat
ing the missing barber, and his arrest
In Denver yesterday was the result. The
charge on which Gonzales Is to be re
turned to this city Is larceny. The Sher
iff alleges that the prisoner Is the man
who Is wanted for the larceny of several
articles of wearing apparel from the room
of C. P. "Wilson. In a lodging-house at
Third and Burnside streets, on the night
of August 13. Gonzales' acquaintance
with the murdered man led to his being
suspected by the authorities, and. al
though they are secretive as to the na
ture of the evidence they have against
the prisoner, they claim they have a good
case.
This murder was one of tho most cold
blooded in the history of this county, and
no effort will be spared to send the guilty
man to the gallows.
Governor Chamberlain Issued the neces
sary requisition papers yesterday, and
Sheriff Word started for Denver to bring
the prisoner back to the scene of his al
leged crime.

DR. FED HIMSELF
Found the Food That Saved His Life.
A good old family physician with a life
time experience In saving people finally
found himself sick unto death.
Medicines failed and but let him tell
his own story. "For the first time In my
Ufe of 61 years I am Impelled to publicly
testify to the value of a largely adver
tised article, and I certainly would not
pen these lines except that what seems
to me a direct act of Providence saved
my life, and I am Impressed that It is a
bounden duty to make It known.
"For three years I kept falling with
stomach and liver disorders until I was
Teduced 70 pounds from my normal
weight. When I got too low to treat my
self, three of my associate physicians ad
vised me to 'put my house in order,' for
I would be quickly going- the way of all
mankind. Just about that time I was
put on a diet of Grape-Nuts predlgested
food. Curiously enough It quickly began
to build me up. appetite returned and in
15 days I gained six pounds. That start
ed my return to health and really saved
my life.
"A physician Is naturally prejudiced
against writing such a letter, but In this
case I am willing to declare it from the
housetops that the multiplied thousands
who Are now suffering as I did can find
relief and health as easily and promptly
by Grape-Nuts. If they only knew what
to do. Sincerely and fraternally yours."

nished by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
