Pending land-fraud trials In this

ing day of the October term of the
Federal. Court for the District of Ore

parties the Government was after. Prac
tically all of the indicted dealers who
have not yet responded are small country

further proceedings against them will be
dropped.
SATS SHE PUIiLiED HIS KOSE
Part or Troubles of McXelll Others
Who Would Be Free.
Mary Gullander filed a auit for divorce
against her husband, C. O. Gullander, In
the State Circuit Court yesterday. They
were married in, Portland In May,' 1902,
but the wife claims Gullander deserted
her several months ago and has failed
to contribute to her support. .' . - -
Robert H. Sharinghausen states ; in a
complaint that his wife, Louise G., has
deserted him and he prays the court r to
have his marriage- dissolved. The couple
was married In Stockton, CaJ., In Novem

James A. McNeill - sets . forth - In ' his
complaint that his -wife Ada F.-McNelll
has an Unbearable temper and is addicted
to pulling his nose and mustache, beat
ing him and otherwise making life miser
able. He alleges that She frequently called
him an old devil, scoundrel, and other bad
names not fit to-be set forth in the
petition. He says that he deeded over
to her several pieces of property In the
hope she would mend her treatment of'
him, but all to no avail. He then left
her and lived apart from her for some
years and upon her promise to be good
he returned, -only to be abused worse
than ever. They were married in Sell
wood, September 19, 1886, and are the
RAGE ALMOST OVER
One More Week Will Decide
Tri-City Winner.
KELSO AND FRAKES TIE
Decision of Xieague Officials Throw
- ing Out St. John Game Puts
the Two Teams on an
Equality.
' In ' another week the season of the
Tri-City League will be over, and the
pennant race of that Interesting little
organization settled. The action of
the league officials in throwing out the
game won by the Frakes from St. John
a week ago last' Sunday, on the ground
that a phony ball was used in the
game, puts the Milliners and Kelso
Tigers on the same rung In the per
centage ladder.
At present, it looks as though the
Milliners would land the rag. 'Kelso
is scheduled to play two games with

are to be deferred for any great length
of time. A number of other criminal
cases, involving charges of counter
feiting and robbing postofflces. In
which several of the defendants have
been lying in Jail for more than a
year, will be tried ' first. There are
only a few of these cases and they will
require but a short time to hear and
then United States Attorney Bristol
will take up the minor conspiracy
cases In connection with the land
frauds. Early in November Mr. Bristol
will be Joined by Special Prosecutor
Heney when the more important cases
against ex-United States Attorney
John Hall, ex-Congressman Binger
Hermejin and State Senator R. A. Booth
will be prosecuted. . , .
The latter part of this' month-the
regular Jury list for the -October term
will be drawn, but-it is improbable
that another grand Jury .will, be con
vened until all pending, business on the
docket has been disposed of. That an
other such an inquisitorial body will
be assembled this Fall is . considered
very likely, although' the court offi
.olals decline to confirm this suspi
cion. Plenty of Work for Heney.
Now that the Department of Jus
tice and the Interior Department have
arranged jointly for the return of
Heney to Portland personally to wind
up the land-fraud prosecutions, it is
figured that the policy of the Gov
ernment will be to extend the investl-
In this state. If the contemplated in
vestigations are carried out there will
be need for the . services . of another
grand Jury, which, it is reported, will
be called at the proper time.
In the meantime Assistant United
States Attorney Cole is . preparing and
filing complaints in a large number
of eases in which the Government is
seeking to have cancelled patents to
land, that have been fraudulently ac
quired by settlers in tne course of the
land-fraud operations in this state for
a number of . years past. The first
batch of these suits was ' filed last
week and a number of others Is in
course of preparation.
Trusts to Come Next.
When the land-fraud trials have been
cleared up it is barely possible an official
Inquiry will be made Into the operations
of a number of alleged Illegal trade com
binations in this clJy. It Is generally un
derstood that United States Attorney
.Bristol has for some time been quietly
Investigating a number of local trusts
and in the course of this Investigation
has acquired a vast amount of. evidence
that would warrant the return of indict
ments by any grand Jury before which
the same might be presented. But the
scope of the work of the Government's
prosecutors on the subject of trusts at
the approaching term ,of ' the Federal
Court will depend largely on the length
of ttme that is required In the trial of
the pending land-fraud cases and the ex
tent to which these frauds are further
Inquired Into.
It Is not probable that the Government
will undertake to prosecute the delin
quent defendants that ' were named in
the furniture trust Indictment returned
last Spring. Of the 183 individuals or
corporations Included In the information,
alleging a combination' in restraint of
trade, 140 made an appearance in court,
pleaded guilty and were fined in sums
ranging from $10 to $100, the aggregate of
the fines so paid being about $6000. The
cost of making the Investigation was
about $3000, leaving a balance on the
right side of the ledger for the Govern
ment. Included among those who have come
Into court and paid fines were the firms
that were -coniderei responsible for ttie-
parents of two 'children, whom the father
desires to have placed in his charge.
Allowance for Mrs. Goode.
Petition was granted the widow of H.
W. Goode to have the administrator of
the estate pay over to her the sum of
$2064, being the amount claimed as reason
able for her maintenance and that of her
minor children for the period elapsing
since the death of Mr.: Goode. There was
also allowed the sum of $500 a month,
dating from August 9. for one year,
for their use and benefit.
. From Hogg to Hoag.
- Perclval D. ' . Hogg stated . to Judge
Webster yesterday that he thought an
Improvement could be made In the spell
ing of his name and after giving the
matter a moment's consideration the
court agreed with the' applicant and' Mr.
Hogg left the courtroom henceforth to
be known as Perclval D. Hoag. -
Passes Bous Check.
J. H. Elliott was found guilty of pass
ing a bogus check on a clerk in the em
ploy of Ben .Selling for the sum of $20.
Elliott was sentenced to serve a year In
the penitentiary,, but was released on
probation.

the Apostles at St John this afternoon,
while the Frakes will go a double
header with the Bohemians at Astoria
It is conceded by everybody that the
St. John team Is much harder to beat
than the Bohemians, and all the fans
dope it out that the hat-makers ought
to take both at Astoria, while the
Tigers should break even at St. John.
This would put the locals one ahead of
the Bengals.
e
Kelso' certainly has the ' baseball
craze, and is doing everything it can
to take the rag.. It was stated by an
official of the league that the Kelso
fans had offered to hire a battery and
infield from the Northwest League for
Astoria,- in order that the Bohemians
might take both games from the Mil
liners, and thereby give the pennant to
the Tigers. Astoria, in true sporting
spirit, refused this offer, and the man
agement of the team stated that if
they could not win with their regular
team they would Just as soon lose the
game as to go on the field with a
picked team from an outside organiza
tion. .
Another case before the minds of the
followers of the league is the action
of the officials In throwing out the
game won by the Frakes at St. John
a week ago. A phony ball that is, an
Inflated pneumatlo sphere, covered
with horsehide was used in the game.
The Milliners won, and the St. John
management protested. To the ob
server, it looks as If the game should
be threwn out, and according to base
ball rules, the game should - not be
counted. But If this decision Is al
lowed to stand it might work a great

local teams, clubs in Oregon City, St.
John, Vancouver, Eugene, Salem and
The Dalles will probably make up the
circuit Kelso, "Woodburn, Astoria and
two of the local teams will be dropped
because of different reasons. The
three outside towns do not pay, and
there is only enough talent In the city
to support two first-class teams. -

Callff and Schlmpff, now regular
players on the Milliners, will go down
to Astoria with the team today, and
do the slab work. With two such box
artists, the Milliners ought to take

The academy has always had one of

years held the championship of the city.
Several members of the '05 team have
signified their intention of returning to
the school, and with raw material at
hand and the aid of a good coach, the
school should be able to turn out a good
team.
