TIMBER FRAUD ALLEGED
COVERSMEST ASKS DAMAGES FOR
ENTRY IX HAY CREEK DISTRICT.
Patent Incited In February, 1908, la
Not Attacked; Suit la Against
Those Charged With Payment.
Judge Wolverton yesterday over
ruled the demurrer of the Baldwin
Sheep & Land Company and others to
the complaint of the Government in its
suit to recover $1600 for a stone and
timber .claim of 160 acres in the Hay
Creek district of Oregon, patent to
wnicn, it is alleged, was obtained by
fraud. The demurrer contended that
the facts cited in the complaint were
insufficient to warrant the charge.
Patent- was Issued for the land to
Mrs. H. Sager February 13. 1908. She
conveyed the land to J. G. Edwards in
April, 1909. and he in turn transferred
it to the Baldwin Sheep & Land Com
pany. The land is now owned by tho
Baldwin Sheep Company, a separate
corporation having no connection with
the other company of similar name.
It Is alleged that the Baldwin Sheep
& Land Company, J. G. Edwards, J. G.
Rice and J. W. Robinson were con
cerned in a deal with Mrs. Sager,
whereby they gave her the money for
filing fees, paid all expenses of per
fecting the patent, and then paid her
$125 to sell the land to Edwards, she
at no time being a bona flde claimant,
but a dummy through which the de
fendants worked to gain possession of
the land.
The case presents a new aspect in
that the Government is not asking for
the cancellation of the patent, but
for damages for having been defrauded.
It is contended that the land is worth
at least $10 an acre, the amount asked
as damages. Mrs. Sager paid $2.50 an
acre. for; the land when she received
her patent, which,, having stood for
more than six years, is not subject to
cancellation.- The land having passed
into the hands of "innocent purchasers.'-'
there is nothing for the Gov
ernment to do but ask for damages.
John J. Beckman, assistant United
States District Attorney, has charge of
the case for the Government.

It In Business Section.
In hope of getting the City Council
to pass the traffio ordinance proposed
recently by the Portland Automobile

signals of traffic policemen, a commit
tee of the club met yesterday with
memoers of the Commission. It- an

Twelfth street on the East Side.

mat no pedestrian cross at lntersec
tion diagonally or in any other direc
tion excepting along regular cross
