DAIRY GOUHGIL FORMS
PLANS MADE TO CONDUCT EDUCA
TIONAL CAMPAIGN'.
Taken Here In July, 191 Tr
Although different men were Involved
from tho6e arrested at Aberdeen, a
party In charge of the car Oklahoma,
conducting a similar - land-selling
scheme, were arrested In Portland on
July 2. 1917. They were charged with
obtaining money under false pretenses,
but the following day the charge was
dropped on condition that they leave
the city, a privilege that they lost no
time In taking advantage of. .
The car Oklahoma, at that time had
' been in Portland about a week and the
men are said to- have closed a consld
rable number of contracts for Indian
lands In that state, payment for which
was to be made to the Tulsa Land Syn
dlcate. Two of the buyers, W. H. Uns-
worth, of 392 H Belmont street, and
Victor Johnberg, of 1044 East Washing-
ton street, became suspicious of the
deal and brought It to the attention of
the District Attorney's office.
As a result the four men In charge
of the car were arrested. They gave
tnelr names as A. Sinclair, E. McCar
rell. O. Owens and J. C. Reilly, and de
posited bail of $250. The next day. on
recommendation of Deputy District At
torney Deich'. the charge was dropped,
after they had refunded money paid
to them by four land purchasers and
naa agreed to take a hasty departure.
Air. Deich said that while the scheme
had all the earmarks of a "get-rich
quick" enterprise, he did not believe
tnene was sufficient evidence of fraud
to hold the men tothe grand Jury.
