Beneficiaries of Andy J.

est in Pcrham Park, in

Clement Park.
A suit Involving upwards of
$175,000 worth of property, part of
North Marshflold, Knob Hill, Pcr
ham Park nnd other tracts, Ib to
bo tried soon In tho circuit court
nt Coqullle. Tho caso was started
by tho Southern Oregon company
starting suit to quiet tltlo to tho
tracf.
All of North Marshflcld, from a
lino CO feet north of Market nvo
nuc, was originally Included In tho
tract, but It Is bollovcd thnt ndvorso
possession has given nil of tho oc
cupied pnrts of tho tract undisput
ed tltlo to tho holdings.
Tho suit la being fought by tho
heirs of tho Into Andy J. Davis, ono
of tho earliest residents ot Coos
I3ay, and who died In Dutto, Mon
tann, In 1890, leaving n fortuno ot
ovor $M,000,000 to bo fought ovor
by his relatives In all pnrts of tho
country. Ho Is well romomborod
by A. Q, Alkon and others.
It seems that In 1SG-I a man
named Warwick sottlcd on tho
townslto of Marshflold and secured
tltlo to It In 18C0, ns a donntlon
clnlm. Ho sold It to Andy J. Da
vis, who had n cabin whoro tho
John Ilcnr homo on Pino street now
stands, for $3000.
I-ntor Davis Bold a half interest
to n man nnmed MnRco In San
Kranclsco. Thoro was troublo with
tho Marshflold townslto pooplo nnd
Davis hnd tho Into II. S. Luso net
as his agent. Later Luso bought
Magco's half Interest nnd took n
M
quit clnlm dodo from Wnrwlck to
tho tract. Then Luso sold it to n
man named Knowlcs In San Fran
cisco and tho latter had part of It
platted by an agent named Clement
tho lattcr's namo being given to tho
tract In North Marshflold. Then It
passed to tho Southern Oregon In
vestment Company nnd tho latter
through receivership proceedings
transferred It notch nnd Crapo,
transferred It to notch and Crapo,
Izcd tho Southern Orogon Company
nnd transferred tho property to It.
Mcanwhllo tho Davis half Interest
In tho claim was forgotten nnd un
til tho Southern Oregon Company
started to tranBfor Porhnm Park to
13. O. Porham It was not raised. In
order to gtvo him a straight tltlo,
a suit to quiet tltlo was necessary
nnd Davis' holrs hnvo engaged C.
II. Peck to fight It. Tho Southern
Oregon Company claims that War
wick's deed to Davla was insufficient
and not valid nnd also that ad
verso possession has destroyed nny
claim that ho or his holrs might
try to mako.
Tho caso will probably bo hard
fought.
