FIGHTS LOS ANGELES CASE
Sl'KCIAL lXSPECTOlt XECHAC
SEX GOES TO LOS AXGELES.
Will Assist Government In Effort to
Bring California Defendants
Back to Oregon for Trial.
T. B. Xeuhausen, special inspector of
the Interior Department, will leave Port
land Saturday for Los Angeles, where he
goes to Join Tracey r. Becker, who la
assistant to the Attorney-General, In the
lcsal battle that the defendants In what
is known as the Currey County letnd
jcrab deal. In which the Pacific Furni
ture & Iand Company Is defendant, will
wage. Three of the defendants live In
Imb Angeles and are fighting removal to
Oregon for trial. They are Warren C4I1
leten. R. W. Kenney and Will E. Gould.
They were indicted by United States
Attorney Bristol, April, 1906. The Fed
eral Grand Jury returned indictments
against a number of defendants, some of
whom lived in Oregon and ' others :ln
California. Some of the California" de
fendants were willing to return to Ore
gon, but Gilleten, Kenney and Gould de
termined to fight removal. Mr. Becker
left ' Portland several days ago and is
now at Los Angeles. The three Los
Angeles defendants have employed the
best legal talent in California, and the
Government, officials are prepared for a
hard battle. Mr. Becker was anxious to
have Mr. Bristol assist him in the case,
because Mr. Bristol was the man who
worked up the evidence' and obtained the
Indictments. Mr. Bristol, however, owing
to the fact that his successor is liable to
be appointed any time, declined to ac-"
company Mr. Becker. He may, however,
in case it looks as if the defendants
might beat the .removal proceedings, yet
take part in the trial.
The land alleged to have been gobbled
b;p the Pacific Furniture & Land Com
pany is located In Currey County. Or.
The company is said to have had U2
filings made on lands amounting to
something like 18,000 acres.
Mr. Neuhausen had charge of getting
together all of the evidence against the
company. '

KISS COSTS SAUNDERS $35
Grocer of Amorous Inclinations Pays
for His Indulgence.
C. H. Saunders, proprietor of a gen
eral merchandise store at 232 North
Sixteenth etreet, was found guilty of
assault and battery on a 16-year-old
girl and fined $35 by Municipal Judge
Cameron-yesterday morning.
The man was arrested two days ago
on complaint of Miss Florence Hopfer,
who resides at 282 North Sixteenth
street, who alleges that when she
visited Saunders' store to make a pur
chase recently, he caught her about
the waist and kissed her against her
will.
According to the testimony intro
duced it was made plain to the judge
that,' the man had . actually taken the
liberty of kissing the maid, and as
such liberty had been taken without
her permission the court assessed Mr.
Saunders the .sum mentioned, and cau
tioned him not. to again become so
familiar with his customers.
Accused of " Fraud.
H. Caler, of Pendetlon. Or.," was ar
rested yesterday by the Bheriff of Clack
amas County on a warrant Issued from
the Municipal Court of this 'city, on Feb
ruary 11. Caler was brought to this city
and placed in the County Jail and later
turned over to the police authorities. He
is charged with- obtaining money under
false pretenses. The complainant in the
case is Philip Neu, of this city, who Is
a dealer in tombstones'. He charges
Caler with having obtained J76 from him
by giving him a contract for a tombstone
for a Mrs. Nancy Moore, of Oregon City,
which contract Is- said to have been
worthless.
WATER BOARD UNDER FIRE
IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
: WANTS IT ABOLISHED.
Says It Is "Incompetent and Gener
ally Unsatisfactory to the
Public."
.'"Incompetent and generally unsatisfac
tory to the public" Is the verdict of the
Northeastern Improvement Association
in regard to the Water Board. If the
association carries out its plan, the people
will vote In June on the abolishment of
the Water Board and on the substitution
of an elective commission.
At the recent meeting of the associa
tion. George B. Frank, president, the
matter was discussed, and it was decided
to make an effort to get a vote on the
matter at the forthcoming June elec
tion. Mr. Frank said yesterday that the-
intention was to get the measure to un
horse the Water Board before the public
in a short time and educate the public
to the necessity of getting rid of tlie
present board. The reason for tills ac
tion is that there are many sections
where there are no water mains and no
fire protection. Houses are being burned
in the outlying districts for want of tire,
hydrants. It Is said that the movement
is receiving some attention, especially in
the outlying districts. Mr. Frank and
other members of the Northeastern As
sociation will soon start a campaign for
the measure among other clubs.
