DEFENDANT MAKES DENIAL
Dcclnrcs That Company Furnished
No Money and Tlxat Profit on
Transaction Was His
Individually.
Charlos Rlchton purchased a mine
known as the Strong Ledge in Josephine
County from Louis Dammasch for 51000
and sold it for JH.500. The Southern Or
egon Mining & Development Company, of
which Rlchton was the secretary, has
sued him and James Baumgardner. his
partner, and Dr. P. L. McKenzle to re
cover the money. The case was on trial
yesterday before Judge Cleland, and will
b concluded today.
The evidence adduced disclosed that
Rfchton and Baumtrardner made their
headquarters at Grant's Pass for several
years, and prospected in the Applegate
nrinlnir district. Jump Off Joe Creek and
vicinity, and acquired a number of claims
and bonds for mines. In December, isus,
Rlchton came to Portland and called on
E. A. Clem, who Introduced him to Mr,
Boe&rth, who knew considerable about
mining, and together with Mr. Shipley, an
expert, examined placer mines m Jose
phtno County, which were said to be very
valuable, on which in cm on ana jjaum
gardner had a bond from Mr. Sexton, the
owner. As the result of this and various
conferences, on January 28, 1904. the
Southern Oregon Mining & Development
Comnanv was formed, with Charles rich
ton 5. B. Bozarth. P. L. McKenzle,
James Baumgardner. E. A. Clem, J. W
Stafford. Scott Bozarth, E. D. Curtis,
PWI Xetchaa and E. T. Taggart as
ntAckholdors. Dr. P. L. McKenzle was
elected president, Phil Metschan vice
president and Charlos Rlchton secretary.
and most of the others were directors.
Some of the Details.
Rich ton and his partner, Baumgardner,
turned over to the company, for the al
leged consideration of 550,000, 100 acres of
filacer on Jumn Off Joe Creek, nine
anaru claims In the Applegate district.
and two claims on Oscar Creek. The
principal quartz claim was known as the
Btr Ledce. which Bichton says is 1100
feet wide, and Is very valuable. The
amount of money paid In by the various
aubscribors was about 57003. Bichton
when the company was formed, told his
associates he could buy from Louis Dam
maach SB acres of land In Josephine
County, containing the Strong Ledge, for
of which 5300 was to be paid Sep
tember 1, UKM, and the remaining 51700
March S, 190a; but Rlchton entered into
an agreement to buy this property from
D&mmasch for 51009, payable 5300 Septem
ber 1. 1904, and ?7u) March 6, 190o, and the
remaining 51000 was to be considered
commission earned by Rlchton.
The plaintiffs assort that at a meeting
of tlie directors of the company
held February 2, 1904. Rlchton of
fered to turn the Strong Ledge over
to the company as one of Its holdings, the
company to pay the purchase price. The
option to buy was taken by Rlchton in
his own name.
The plaintiffs allege that Rlchton and
Dr. P. L. McKenzle. in October, 1901,
conspired to sell the Strong Ledge to the
Golden Crescent Mining & Milling Com
pany, and obtained 5600 down on an op
tion, which they Tctalned because the
company did not complete the contract.
That subsequently Rlchton, McKenzle
and Baumgardner sold the Strong Ledge
to the Michigan Mining & Milling Com
pany for JH.SW. and have collected $0500.
and the remaining 55000 is due, payable at
the Merchant National Bank December
1. IMS. These facts are admitted as
true.
Defense of Rlchton.
The defense Interposed by Rlchton and
tne other deiendanis is that tne com
pany never fulfilled its agreement to buy
the Strong Ledge, and never furnished
any money for the purpose, and that as
late as August, 1904, at a meeting of the
directors, Rlchton told them the first
payment was nearly duo and Inquired if
they wanted the Strong Ledge. He re
ceived no favorable response, and the an
nouncement was made that the company
was out of funds. In September. 1904,
BJchton made the first payment himself
to Dammasch, and the final payment
when it bocamo due. Rlchton says he
bought the mine for himself after tho
company nad rexuscd to act. and had a
right to sell it and retain tho profit. Mc
Kenzle and Baumgardner became inter
ested because they furnished part of the
money for tlie purchase.
Tho position of the plaintiffs is that
Rlchton, McKenzle and Baumgardner. aa
directors of tho company, although they
furnished the money, bought the Strong
Ledge for the company, as it had been
transferred to the company, if acquired
by Rlchton on February 1904, and when
purchased from Dammasch was pur
chased as tho property of the Southern
Oregon Mining & Development Company
The company sues to recover the 516.000
realized by Rlchton and the others, less
the 51000 paid to Dammasch. and assert
that they are entitled only to tholr shar
of the profit realized according to the
amount of shares they hold in the com
pany. H. K. Sargent appears as attorney

defendants.
Indictment Is Dismissed.
vAn indictment against William
Grimes, who oonducts a resort at Mon-
tavllla. charging nim with violating
the prohibition law, returned by tho
jrrand jury June 3, 1905, was dismissed
yestord&y by Judge Pruzer on motion
of District Attorney Manning. There
was only one witness, Joe Mlllor, and
the District Attorney informed the
court that in the event of a trial, a
conviction would probably not be had.
Mr. Manning also stated that there was
another case of the same kind ponding
against Grlmos resulting from a raid
made upon hiB place by a Deputy
Sheriff in which the proof was strong

month. The people of Montavilla have
waged war on tho saloons or a long
time, declaring that they must go.

asserts that he sells nothing but soft
drinks.

MAY OUST WHOLE COUNCIL
Citizens of St. Johns Are Alarmed
Over tlie Situation. -
The wheels of tho city government of
St. Johns are completely blocked, and no
business can be done until the presont
deadlock in the Council is broken. There
are no prospects of a settlement as pro
posed by a friendly suit in tho Circuit
Court, by which the eligibility of both
Councilman Edwards and Councilman Pe
terson could be adjudicated. Recorder
J. W. Hanks furnished Attorneys Young
and Vaughn, for Mayor King and Coun
oilman Peterson, and Attornoy McGarry
for Councilman Shlolds and his faction,
abstracts of the records pertaining to the
cases in dispute, so that the whole mat
ter could bo submitted on an agreed
statement of facts, but the attorneys
have not come together.
Mayor King holds that no businoss can
be transacted while there Is a cloud over
the eligibility of Councilman Edwards'
seat, and that any business transacted
by the Council, with hlmftn, would not

he says, "would not stand In the court.
I have never rocognized Edwards as
legal member since he tendered me his
resignation. There was no condition in
that first resignation. He wrote, I do
resign. The situation is indeed unfor
tunate for St. Johns. I cannot for the
life of me understand what Edwards is
gaining by the course he is taking,
can't see the outcome of the affair."
The next regular meeting of the Coun
ell will be held Monday evening, yet the
citizens of St. Johns do not hope for
nor expect an agreement. Several of the
members of the Council say that they
will not consent to transact any business
until the present trouble is settled. There
is important business that must be trans
acted. Long & Company will press the
city for payment of 51700 for fire appar
atuH. R. Smith, who built the public
dock, wants hts money, aggregating over
5fo0. A. JL.. Miner wants the city to pay
him his 5428 money borrowed. Expenses
are piling up against the city, besides
other business of pressing importance
waits while the personal squabble among
the members goes on. It Is the impres
sion In. St. Johns that a continuation of
the present deadlock In the Council will
mean the disruption of the municipality.
There is some apprehension lest the
accumulating expenses of the litigation,
which already must be considerable, will
be thrown on the shoulders of the city.
For more than a month attorneys have
been attending the meetings of the Coun
cil for both factions. Tholr fees already
must be over 5260. ,The situation is alarm

be an end to the presont situation

whole Council and city officers.
THEIR NAMES ARE DOUBLES
Why Alexander Donaldson Was Sur
prised at Unexpected legacy.
Alexander Donaldson, Superintendent of
Streetcleanlng and Sprinkling, expe
rienced for a few hours yesterday the
sensation of the man who unexpectedly
falls heir to coin of the roalm. Early
In the day a messenger delivered to the
gentleman of official dignity a message
stating that 51500 had been deposited to
his credit in tho bank at Indcnendencc
Alex, as his friends all call him, had no
expectation or anybody dealing with him
so generously in a last will and testa
ment, besides. If it were that kind of case
the man whose name was attached had
cviacnuy not taiten any ciiances on a
contest and had taken the precaution to
send me cash before death. Therefore.
Donaldson was anxious to know the
wherefore of it all. ana was contemplat
ing whether or not he should have his
own bank withdraw the deposit from the
Polk County institution to swell his pri
vate account, when he chanced to meet
a personal friend who Is also traffic rep
rosentatlve. of the Burlington to whom he
related his unexpected good fortune.
l guoss you had bettor return that
message to the telegraph company," this
friend advised, "for the Alexander Don
aiuauii iur wjiom mat is intended is on
the way to Portland from Beckton, Wyo.,
with a carload of Clydesdale horses for
tne livestock show, and some of the
horses are to be delivered to purchasers
up in uie valley. That is whom the tele
gram was intended for. and the m
whose money is deposited."
So the Joy of Inheriting money from
an unexpected source vanished, even
more noiselessly than does the accumula
tions of the day from Portland streets
when the Isweepors make their nlchtlv
rounas.

PORTLAND, SpU 14. To the Editor.
The published account In The Ore gen lan of
today of an alleged mcetln? af many Italian
residents In Basle Hall last night, at which
reeoluUon are said to hare been adopted and
In dorr ed by upward of 200 members of the
Italian colony, condemning me for an alleged
attempt to detract from the Interest in Italian
day at the Fair. September 20, la puro fabri
cation and fa.Ue In every res peat.
The further statement that John Cordano.
whe signed the resolutions, was elected presi
dent of the four local Italian societies Is
equally false.
Now, aa to the facts: Being anxious to have
an Italian day al the Fair. I suggested the
anniversary of the taking of Rome as a suit
able day, and the Lewis and Clark exposition
management, acting upon my suggestion, ad
dressed & letter to a number of the leading
Italians asking them to co-operate.
At a meeting held for the purpose of ar
ranging for a proper celebration on the 20th
of September at the Fair, I contributed ?50
In cash, a cum at least double the amount
contributed by any other person, with a single
exception, who contributed an equal amount.
No ono was more anxious than I to make a
success of the proposed celebration at the
Fair, until the ead news from Italy advised
us of the terrible destruction of lives and
property caused by the recent earthquake
that several thousand were homeless and suf
fering the pangs of hunger with "Winter com
ing on, with no shelter or food their needs
were many and thousands of dollars were
needed at once to relieve the awful dlstreAi.
All Italy was mourning and still mourns the
terrible calamity. Prompted solely by a feel
ing of great sorrow and pity, I at once
realized the impossibility of any Italian to
find pleasure or enjoyment under the circum
stances In the proposed celebration at the
Fair. No man, unless his heart was made of
stone, could squander the money collected for
this celebration while thousands of his dis
tressed brothers are crying for help. About
21000 had been subscribed for the celebration.
consulted a number of the members of the
colosy to obtain their views as to turning
over this fund to the relief authorities in
Italy. A meeting was called by me to be held
in Foresters Hall last Sunday. At the hour
set I found a meeting of the Italian committee
fcr the Lewis and Clark celebration was in
session, with John Cordano In the chair. I
endeavored to get Cordano to take ' a recess
f that meeting In order to hold the meetinc
called by me, but for reasons best known to
himself, although the sentiment of those pres
ent was apparently favorable to the aban
donment of tho proposed Lewis and Clark J
v .
celebration, on account of the terrible condi
tions wrought In Italy by the earthquake, and
In spite of a motion made by P. Roggerone,
duly ecoBded. that the money collected be
seat to Italy to assist the victims of the
earthquake, said Cordano refused to put the
aaestkm. made all sorts of arguments against
sack action, and when the hour wan late, he
adjourned the meetiag without a laetfcm bolng
made, and la this manner attempted to thwart
the will of those who were anxious to have
their contributions go toward the relief of
their distressed brothers In Italy.
To my that the sentiment of all the Ital
ians Is to abandon the contemplated Italian
day celebration at the Fair Is unfortunately
not the case, and knowing that Cordano and
a few others of the committees who were
to wear colored sashes and ride prancing
eteeds aad have the opportunity of a life
time to get their pictures In the papers, to
gether with their names. I therefore, when
called upon by the representative of The Ore
genlaa for aa account of the meeting held
on Sunday, and as published Monday morning,
stated that In view of the fact that plans have
progressed so far It will be a disappointment
to the officials of the Hi position not to have
the celebration as announced, and that It Is
poeMlbto that a quiet meeting may be held
In the Auditorium, where a few speeches may
be made, but no extended programme will
be rendered. Upon the adjournment of last
Sunday's meeting I circulated a list for the
relief of the sufferers In Italy, and In a few
moments It was subscribed to the extent of
nearly S400. a large number of the subscribers
being those who had contributed for the Lewis
and Clark celebration and who directed that
the amounts so contributed be turned over to
a committee, to be sent to Italy.
The source from which the matter published
this morning emanates. Is apparent from the
reading of the same. That source can be no
other than from someone who Is anxious to
have the reading public, which Includes office-holders
who sometimes have some pie to
cut, to believe that eald source Is a great
awn, one who, being president of the meet
ing, president of four Italian societies and
presiding over a meeting of upward of 200
members of the Italian colony. Mr. Cordano
Is president of one Italian society and no
more, aad while no meeting was held, as
stated, at Bagle Hall, exactly 14 of the Lewis
aim ciark celebration committee of Italians
gathered together in Cordano' a house on Fifth
street, near Stark, and were assisted by Peter
Resl. who Is not Commissioner-General of
Italy to the Exposition, as stated, and who
occupies, no official or private relations with
the Italian government, but who is engaged
tn a business enterpriac on his own hook in
procuring space In the foreign building from
the ExpcltioB management, which he sold at
profitable figures to such merchants and ex
hibitors as be succeeded In bringing to the
Fair. This man Rossi dictated the resolutions
which were raid to have been indorsed, etc,
aad his object was to let the poor eufferers
In Italy get along without the help that we
have In our hands to send, that he might also
spread out with a full dross and rosette on
Italian day. If held. He has been very anxious
to do something to obtain some decoration
from the King of Italy and has been desirous
that I might discover his many virtues and
invaluable services to Italy and recommend
him as a fit subject to be knighted.
I feel confident that my course meets the
approval of all decent people, and I cannot
believe that any one will fall to criticise any
Italian who attempts to parade or expend the
money now on hand for personal display and
gratification when the money can be so well
used in relieving the distress which prevails
over such a large part of one of the provinces
of Italy. Has any one forgotten the Heppner
affair, and now Fenerousiy the people of Port
land responded to the anneal for assistance
and bow the Fourth of July committee at
once decided that there should be no celebra
tion and that the funds collected should go
to the relief of the sufferers? Isn't the Fourth
of July as much on occasion of Joy and jubi
lation to .the rort lander as the 20th of Sep
tember to the Italian abroad?
In conclusion, allow me to submit this tele
gram from Cav. F. Serra. the Italian Consul
General at Son Francisco, Cal. :
"I approve the decision of the majority to
forward the funds collected, as I believe the
better way of commemorating the national
boituay would be to send the funds to assist
the sufferers." C. F. CANDIANL

PORTLAND. Sept. 13. (To the Editor.)
On September 0 I forwarded the following
letter to our Mayor. Either the letter has
gone astray or he did not think It of suffi
cient Importance to take cognizance of the
matter:
"To the Honorable Mayor of the City of
Portland: As a small subscriber to the Lewis
and Clark Fair I hereby enter a protest
against the manner In which dogs are
slaughtered by the barbarous Igorrotes how
holding high carnage at the Exposition.
Supposing some of our Oregon-bred Indians
were to come to Portland and make a raid
on dogs, how long would your Chief of
Police permit them to live out of Jail? Why.
our Indians are not permitted to drink North
End booze. Tet the officials of the Fair
hire these savages to come here and drag
dogs around their sty by the neck, and oth
erwise, mistreat them without protest. Either
the Humane Society should stop this outrage
at once or go out of business. I herewith
Inclose you a picture from Friday's Evening
Telegram, which is self-explanatory."
