LIND MAN ROBBED
Charge of Hayes and Sargent
-Against Shorey.
THEY CLAIM HEAVY DAMAGES
Ovraera of Hastr Messenger StoclC
Say Shorey Used Position. a
Mannger to Wreck Business
and Buy It la Cheap.
Jeff W. Hayes and H. X. Sargent, part
ners, as the- Hasty Messenger Company.
In answer to a suit brought by John F.
Shorey, former manager of the concern,
allege that Shorey. a3 manager, received
$2000 more than he disbursed for the
business, -which be has not paid over.
They also demand $10,000 damages from
Shorey on account of injury done to the
business, and ask that Shorey's case be
dismissed. Shorey sued to recover on
claims which he averred were assigned to
him by creditors of tho concern.
The answer is sensational and contains
what Is sworn to be a truthful statement
of Shorey's doing as manager. It states
that since February 1. 1S02. Hayes and
Sargent have been engaged In the general
messenger and deliver business, and sell
ing cigars, under the name of the Hasty
Messenger Company, Hayes owning a
three-fourths Interest, and Sargent one
fourth. Sargent took no active part in the
concern, and the conducting of the busi
ness was left to Hayes, who Is totally
blind and compelled to rely upon his em
ployes for information concerning what
was being" done.
Shorey, it Is alleged. In August, 1902.
falsely pretending friendship for Hayes,
particularly because of his blindness, of
fered to gratuitously assist Hayes In the
management of tho affairs of the com
pany, and an arrangement was made with
him by which he was to be allowed to
conduct tho business without remunera
tion under the direction of Hayes, and
with that understanding, it is asserted,
Shorey served until January 1, 1903.
It Is charged that, as a matter of fact.
Shorey before entering Into tho agree
ment with Hayes and Sargent, had de
termined to engage In business In the
same line, either by acquiring the Hasty
Messenger Company's business, or estab
lishing one similar to it la opposition,
and his object In making an agreement
with defendants was that he might man
age and manipulate things In such a way
aa to Injure the business and lessen its
value ; also that he might financially em
barrass them and force them to sell out
for much less than the real value of the
business. It is further asserted that
Shorey desired to learn the character and
extent of the business of the Hasty
Messenger Company In order to use the
knowledge 'gained, if necessary, In estab
lishing an opposition service.
On account of the blindness of Jeff
Hayes and reliance placed in Shorey's
statements. It la stated that he was en
trusted with the management of the busi
ness and permitted to handle all moneys
and buy goods. It la alleged that Shorey
bought more goods and Incurred greater
expenses than were needed or required,
and otherwise ran things In an extrava
gant, reckless manner, and also. In pur
suance of a scheme to thereafter persuade
the employes to leave the employment of
Hayes and Sargent, paid them more
money than they were entitled to received
The charge is made that Shorey failed
to keep full and accurate books and
records of moneys Tecelved and disbursed,
and refused and failed to make accurate
reports of the progress, details and stand
ing of the business, but made misleading
statements.
Allegations are also made that - Shorey
stopped advertising in the dally papers
and falsely stated to tho creditors of the
company that it was the wish of the de
fendants that the claims of the creditors
should be assigned to him, Shorey, which
claims and assignments were made by
Shorey the subject of his action against
the company, Hayes and Sargent. Ho
Used these claims and assignments, It is
alleged, to close the place of business,
and to force and compel Sargent and
Hayes to dispose of their interests to
nlm for much less than the real value,
and to financially embarrass them. The
business Is said to have been reasonably
worth $20,000. and to have been damaged
at least 510.000.
The defendants also hold an assignment
of a judgment against Shorey rendered
March 9. 1&7. in New York in favor of
David Mitchell, for $273, on a bank check
drawn by C. A. Avery In favor of Shorey
and Indorsed by Shorey to David
Hhc"- Including the -$10,000 damages.
$2000 and $273.-a- judgment Is asked against
Shorey altogether for $12,275.
Dan J. Malarkey appears as attorney
for Hayes and Sargent.

OOUNTV COURT CUTS CLAIMS.
Denies Right of Circuit Court to
Order Payment of Fees.
The County Judge and Commissioners
question the authority of the Circuit
Court Judges to order the County Board
to pay certain claims such as official re
porters bills, fees of experts who testify
In court, fees allowed attorneys in murder
cases and other claims.
Attorneys appointed in the State Circuit
Court to defend criminals -who are unable
to employ counsel are not allowed any
compensation. except that in murder
trials fees have "been paid. An order was
issued in the State Circuit Court -directing
the payment- of $100 to Albert Ferrera
for services performed by Ferrera. and
John Dltchburn in defending Francesco
fie,Falco, who killed his -wife. An order
was also issued in favor of Dr. Manlon for
60 for medical services performed in tho
same case.. Dr. Manlon also testified as
an Insanity expert, and attended the trial
throughout.
The County Court, on motion of Judge
TVeb3ter. cut the Ferrera claim from $100
to $50, and the Manlon bill to $25. Judge
"Webster said the county was not looking
for a- law suit, but would take the
chances. The. members of tho County
Board think they have the right to treat
such claims .the same as others, and to
cut, them down if th'ey are of tho opinion
that "they are' justified in' so doingl
RETURNED TO HIS FATHER.
Dr. "Wltham Wins Contest for Boy
VItk His Former Wife.
ErriMt Arthur "Wltham. aged 10, who
has been residing -with, his mother, Mrs.
"Clara Wltham, for the past four years.
will bo returned to his father. Dr. A. H.
Wltham, at Palsly, Or. Tho mother did
not desire to surrender the chlld and Dr.
Wltham filed a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus asking to have the boy
brought into court and the controversy
determined. .
Mrs. Wltham obtained a divorce from
her husband In Prlneville, October .23,
1S97. She was awarded the custody. of
two of the children, girls, now aged 8
and 12 years respectively, and Judge
Bradshaw granted the custody of tho boy
to the father with her consent. Dr.
Wltham kept his son 18" months and then
sent him back to his mother. In answer
to the habeas corpus petition. T. J.
Cleeton, attorney for Mrs. Wltham, con
tended that Dr. Wltham, in sending .the
boy back to his mother, abandoned him
altogether. Mrs. Wltham admitted that
she received $10 to $15 per month from
her former husband to help support the
children, but she said this was not
enough, and she would not give up Ernest,
who was attached to her and his sisters,
and did not want to go to his father.
Judge Cleiand decided that Dr. Wltham
was given the custody of Ernest by Judge
Bradshaw and the decree of the court
was still effective. The opinion was ex
pressed by Judge Cleiand that the father
was sufficiently attached to the child to
bring him up properly and give him a
good education. .
The dispute between the parents over
the children, it Is stated. Is to be comr
promised. Dr. Wltham will agree to
contribute more than he has heretofore
done for the support of his. offspring. He
will allow Ernest to visit his mother and
sisters, and the sisters will be permitted
to visit their brother.
MADE CRAZY -BY-BRUTAL FATHER,"
Sad Cose of Boy From' Snmpter Who
Goes to Asylum.
A sad case Is that of Ed Loudy. a little
boy from Sumpter, J. years old, who was
adjudged Insane in tho County Court yes
terday and committed- to tho asylum at
Salem. The child was accompanied by his
uncle, L. H. Cavanaugh, and Mrs. Cava
naugh, who Informed tho court that when
the boy was 2 years old his father struck
him on the head with a piece of tug from
a harness, and rendered him unconscious!
The child's mind has been almpst a blank
ever since, and he chatters Incoherently.
A strange circumstance In connection
with tho case Is that the boy has had a
strong desire to carry a strap of leather
with him ever since, and when in the
courtroom had two straps with him, which
be brought from home. He was brought
from Sumpter a week ago. After injuring
the boy and realizing his condition, the
father left his family. It Is hoped that
medical treatment at tho asylum may In
time restore tho child's mental faculties.
OBSTACLE TO RE3IARRIAGE.
Licenses Refused to Persons Di
vorced." Within Six Months.
Divorced persons can no longer obtain
licenses in the County Clerk's office to
marry third parties until the six months
which the statute provides must elapse
after tho granting of the decree of di
vorce has expired This rulo has been
adopted by tho County Clerk, and appli
cants for marriage licenses are asked If
they have ever been divorced In this
state, and If six months has passed since
the date of tho decree. If not, the license
is refused. A license was Issued yes
terday where the man In the case was
divorced In the State of Washington five
months ago. Tho legality of this mar
riage is questionable, as the six months'
limit is also the law of Washington, but
the County Clerk Is not sure that 1n
granting marriage licenses he must take
Into consideration tho divorce statutes of
other states.
MERRILL LOSES HIS SUIT.
So Damages Awarded Agrainst Metr
ger for False Imprisonment.
In the damage suit of Leslie Merrill

CAMPAIGN FOR UNION
ROBINSON WILL STUMP COUNTRY
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
Will Arrange Meeting to Explain
Hott Consolidation Would im
prove QrHality of Schools.
County School Superintendent R, F.
Robinson will announce the place and
dates in a few days of the public meet
ings which.' he will hold In this county
to present the subject -of .school consoli
dation. It Ha settled that ho will hold
meetings at Gresham, Falrvkw and near
Corbett .east of the Sandy River. He
will visit those places Monday, when tho
time will be fixed for the meetings. Pro
fessor Robinson has already consulted
with the directors at Falrvlew and Gresh
am, and at the public meetings at thoso
places the law will be explained to tho
patrons, as they will have a vote whether
they will accept Its provisions or not. At
Gresham the consolidation Is to afford
High School facilities and not to form a
district union. At Falrvlew it will mean
the consolidation of the small schools,
while the organization of tho several dis
tricts will not be displaced for the pres
ent. Falrvlew building- has four rooms,
two of which are occupied, and is well
placed to carry out the consolidation plan.
Tho County Superintendent has visited
all the schools-that would be consolidated
provided it is so voted. East of the Sandy
River are H districts Of these it is pro
posed to unite five at a point near Cor
bett Columbia -Grange, Patrons of Hus
bandry, has tendered the use of its hall
and appointed a committee to collect
data as to population of the districts to
be united, prepare maps of the routes
wagons will have to travel In conveying
children to tho schoolbouse. A new build
ing will have to be at some point that
will be central to ' all the districts that
-wilt be united- If" tho proposition car
ries.
If the plan proposed Is carried out It
will place a High School at Gresham be
sides the regular grammar school now
maintained there; also high school facil
ities will bo afforded at the consolidated
schools at Falrvlew and near Corbett,
east of the Sandy River, so that the chil
dren of the rural districts may have the
full course of studies at their homes. Be
sides building up strong schools, the af
fording of high school facilities Is one qf
the Important features of the consolida
tion movement. The meeting east of the
Sandy River will probably be held In tho
afternoon, as that will accommodate tho
greatest number of people of the scattered
districts, but at Falrvlew and Gresham
the meets will probably be held at night.
DEATH WAS SUDDEN.
Nathan W. Common, Civil War Vete

pose III in. and Thomas Stands Be
tween, Hoping: for Presidency.
Tho custodians of the Republican pow
er In Multnomah are going; to have a
hard tlmo organizing the new Port of
Portland Commission two weeks hence.
From present .Indications the iUtchfill
Matthews people -will ba left put la the
cold. The reason Is that only three of
the seven members are adjuncts of the
"regular" Republican organization.
The members of the new. commission
have grouped themselves as follows:. .C.
F. Swlgert, C F. Adams and John Drls
coll vs. P. Ix Willis, Captain. B. "W. Spen
cer and .Captain Archie Pease. Between
the two camps is G. B. Thomas, who
rather leans away from the Mltchell
ITatthews element. . Ho and, John . Drls
coll some time ago formed an offensive
and" defensive alliance to thwari the
present wielders of power in the county.
Drlscoll Is an outspoken ontl- Matthews
man and antl-everythlng pertaining to
Matthews. Thomas does not have the
warmest friendship toward the faction
in power, for the reason that In the Legis
lature it wanted to put C. H. Carey on
tho commission instead of himself, and at
one time had actualy done so. Swlgert
and Adams are fraternizing. They rep
resent the outgoing board, five members
of which were kicked out by the present
political managers, and therefore natural
ly tho twain are as one.
A merry fight is likely to come up over
the chairmanship or presidency of the
commission. The candidate of the Mat
thews people is P. I. "Willis,- who will
be supported by Pease and Spencer. The
opposition candidate Is either Swlgert or
Adams. Thomas would like to get the
presidency for himself and It Is said
that the bee Is buzzing In his bonnet
His trick will be to play tho two rival
factions against each other or to have
them vie in giving him inducements,
for without his vote nobody can be elected
on the present alignment.
Four candidates ore on the stage for
the clerkship of the commission E. - T.
C Stevens, present Incumbent, who will
probably be supported by Adams and
Swlgert; Edwin Caswell, who 13 said to
bo backed by "Willis; SIgler, Councilman,
who Is the choice of the Matthews people,
and A. N. Gambell, who, it is under
stood, wants tho Job pretty badly.
It was la the power X)f tho present
political regime In the legislature to
put up a commission to .do its bidding,
but this fact does not carry any weight
under present circumstances.
