Judge Tazwell Holds Boy's Rights Xot Lost Through Something Arranged by Others. An adopted child may inherit prop erty from his natural as well as his foster parents. This was the decision of Circuit Judge Tazwell yesterday in the first ruling on this point of law ever made in Oregor. By Judge Tazwell's decision 14-year-old Milton Philip Wier will re ceive a one-third interest in the $5000 estate ot the late John Wier, though he was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Charles O'Brien of Kilverton on Au gust 14, 1917, before the death of his natural father. Judge Tazwell could find no decis ion in the Oregon law to guide him in coming to this conclusion, he said, asserting ' that it appeared to be the first case of the kind to he raised in the state. Clarence R. Gilbert was attorney for the boy and Jay H. Stock man for the estate. "A child has no choice in the case of adoption and the reasonable as sumption snuuld be that he should not lose any natural rights because of a disposition made of him without his own volition," said Judge Tazwell.
