ELDREDGE MANUFACTURING CO, 'belwdere. ill. June 7, 1894. An Important Decision. Judge Eellinger last Friday morn- ing decided that the county of Multnomah and city of Portland cannot made preferred creditors of the Oregon National bank, and must therefore take their chances with the balance of the depositors. The suit was brought by the city and county against the bank for a decree that the mbney deposited by the sheriff amounting to$i49,2So.05 be made the property of the county, and, inasmuch as the county had nothing whatever to do with plac ing the money in the bank, that it should be tnades preferred creditor. The city also joined in the suit and osked to be made a preferred cred itor for 14,574.65, which had been placed in the bank by the city treasurer. Judge Bellinger held that the funds, although wrongful ly commingled with the assets of bank, could not be dealt with in the manner prayed for, It is a well settled rule that a preson can fol- lO'.V P.nd rr?m ln'e nrrmoi-tv if A A ' -V found; but in this instance the identical property cannot be traced. If the city and county were made preferred creditors, this preference would extend to the property of other., which would be unjust. and uniair. ror tms reason the court denied the petition in a lengthy decision, and also overruled the the exceptions to the answers filed ibis decision affects Lincoln county diiectly as it refers to the Hamiltou, Job & Co. bank, aud the county money locked up in that bursted concern. This decision of Judge Bellinger was given in an im portant easy where there wa3 a large sum onnoney at stake. The court had the advantage of. having the best legfd talent ia the state to present the different issues aud the decisioii ''& iv.eu after due delibera tion and research 4jy the court and will without doubt stand. This will bring Lincoln county to a place where it will have to lose the greater part of the money deposited by the sheriff and treasurer or re cover from their bonds, A Fatal Accident. Ed. Payne brought news of a fatal accident at the Pioneer rock quarry last Tuesday morning, in which Geo. Lay A'neker, a stone cutter, at work there lost his life. At about 8 o'clock Lay A'neker was at work on the top of the ledge of rocks sawing a log into to clear off the stone. After he got the log sawed be jumped back to ett out of the way, and missed his footing and fell over the bluff, striking on his bead and shoulders on a ledge of rock fully twenty feet below, while still in that position the peice of log he had cut off rolled over the bluff onto him and crushed him horribly. The other woik- men hurried to his assistance but was too late to help him any as life was extinct when he was reached. m. rayneroue a horse down to Toledo to telegraph the fatal news to his family who reside in Salem wnicn consists of a wife and two children. The remains of the de ceased were sent to Salem on Wed nesday's train. . On the 26th day of April last the .editor of the Leader was in, New port aiid while in the Bay View aouse met Mr. Matthews, the editor of the Newport News. . The conversation turned upon the action of the two papers regarding person alities, and Mr. Matthews stated mat he did not like that' kind of warfare: that he did not like to be called names, and agreed to put a mutual stop to it. The editor of tle Leader agreed to this in good faith and has kept that faith scrupulously ever since. The edi tor of the News broke his word on the matter in less than two weeks and has continued to break it. The .1 !- .. cietwuu m now over; mere are no local issues at stake and we feel that we are in honor bound no longer to a onesided contract. So we here and now give the antiquat ed, fossilized, squiiilcyed, cheroot smoking, queen kis:ing parody on humanity,' that runs, or thinks the runs, the columns of the News, notice that vie are ready for him and his swell headed lies from now on. Trot .them out. The Land Grant Decision. The decision rendered by Judge Bellinger in Tortland on Friday, in ; the case of Charles Alischul vs. the Oregon TaciSc and Wiiliarnette Valley & Coast rsilvoad, T. Egen ton Hogg and others, had been looked for with much interest. It is of importance, because it settles the title to nearly 1,000,000 acr of land. The suit was brought to declare void any claim on the part of the defendants to lands composing grant in the Willamette Valley & Cascade Mountain Wagon Foad Company, which had bc?n conveyed to them by Hogg, as attorney in fact of the owner. This instru ment had been given to Hogg by A. Weill, the then owner of the tract, empowering him to negotiate and conclude a sale on fixed terms any time inside of two years from January i, 1879. At the expira' tioaofthat period Hogg went to Weill in New; York, and tendered 9 ch'''''' wVtloli Vif said was for $445,000. It is claimed that Weill never saw the check, said he had no deed prepared, but if the pro ceedings were ia good faith he would execute one. He says that he turned to send for his attorney and when he again turned around Mr. Hogg and his witnesses had disappeared. Hogg then made a deed Jo the W'lliamctte Valley & Coast Railroad Company for the consideration of $445,000, claiming to act as Weill's attorney in fact. The deed was not acknowledged for nearly two years after it had professed to have been executed and delivered. j ... .. a The court held that, in all that was done or professed to have been done under this power, there was no'thing consistent or straight-for ward. The sale of an option by Hogg, as attorney in fact, to a company in fact owned by himself, without communicating the fact to Vis pfjiKYpal: the .pretended tender ot a certified clieck for 2445,003', the recital in the deed by Hogg, as president of the Oregon 1 Pacific Company, on October 1, 1880, that the Willamette Valley Company had the right, to "become the owner"- of the property in question upon payment of $600,000; the pretended deed by Hogg, as attor ney in fact, conveying absolutely the same property on November 3 1880, acknowledged more than two years later these1 talngs admit of no explanation conute:it with fair dealing or houe.it motives. In the more than 10 years sir.23 the ex piration of Hognr's power th own era of the property expended large sums of money in complying with the condition 3 upon which the grant was made by congress, in defending their title in the courts. and for other necessary expenses in connection with lands. The ore tended purchasers of the property, or of the option to curchase. did not offer to pay any of these ex penses, and does not propose to do so nv.v, Its insolvency confesses its inability to pay such charges or purcuase price ot the alleged sale The plaintiff was entitled to the re lief prayed for, and such was the degree. . We are reliably informed that there was an open fraud practiced upon the election at Nashviile pre cinct hit Monday, Voters from Benton county were run in to vote for county scat, and in some in stances swore their vote in. Money was freely used to corrupt and buy votes and a desperate attempt was made to whoop up a big vote for West Yaquina. It is even said that na less a personage Vban Wallif, Nash felt that it was his duty and right to help locate the county seat of Lincoln county, and so canae over from Corvallis and voted in Lincoln county on the strength of homestead he intended moving onto some time or other. It is said that Mr. Nash's family still continue to reside in Corvallis, and beiug a married man, not in the state or government employ, it is just a little bit hard to see just how it is possible for him to be a legal voter in Lincoln county. Itutquite probable that the next grand jury of Lincoln county will inquire into Mr. Nash's place of residence a little. Number 14. County Seat. By the unofficial returns which are now ia the result of the vote on county seat fully justifies the situa tion as stated in the Leader of two weeks ago. The vote does not vary materially from what we esti mated. The vote shows that New port aud Elk City were hopelessly out of the race. The strength which Newport hoped to gain on " the south side was unavailable, and at no time was there a possible ' chance for Newport to get a por tion of it. The south side people are naturally in favor of a south side county seat, and it was an idle effort for Newport to attempt to turn Ara. The Elk City vote was even Jess tha,a anticipated. It was thoftght by those in Toledo who gave the matter careful atten tion that Elk City would poll frorny 60 to 70 votes. The Elk City people were befooled by the prom-, ise of help from both Newport and Yaquina. These promises were,., marl,, for the sole purpose of keep, ing Elk City in the race and thus, divide the vote of the natural Tole do country. This ruse was suc cessful only to a limited degree. Instead of splitting the votes intb( equal parts, as Newport hoped to do, only a small defection was made. The fight has narrowed down to Toledo and West Yaquina, anrf the county seat will remain at Toledo for another two years. : W$, had, great hopes that it would be settled this year, but it was impossible to show two of the. contesting pointy the hopelessness of their race. in ; Resolutions. The following i'esofiitious were. Lpassed by Tgledo Vadge No. 222, I. 0. G. T. at Its last meeting: Resolved;, Thit; Toledo Lodge No. 222, I. O. O.T. hereby extend; . its congratulations to Hon. S. W. Condon for his noble, manly and fearless expression against the Cursed of the liquor traffic, uttered by him ai.Toled.0 on Decoration Day. Resolved: That we recognize in Mr. Condon an officer of the law . that has been fearless and bold in doing his duties, when such duties, conflicted with the interests of 'the.', rum power. Resolved: That a copy of this resolutions be spread on the min. utes of the lodge, a copy sent to Mr. Condon and a copy furnished to each of the papers of Lincoln county for publication. , 1 - y ! .. ' The Corvallis Times, of last week, shields the people of Summit from the odium of the Burleigh rape case, and says that the crime was com mitted near Norton, in Lincoln county. While it is true the crim was committed in Lincoln county, yet tht beast Burleigh was only over a ijLiort time from Benton county, where his family resided at the time of the commission of the crime. The man's relatives still live in Benton county, and we un derstand that the female portion of the family are running a house of ill-fame in, a tent near Mary's river j bridge right under the nose of out) frieud-of the Times. The Oregon Pacific railroad, and! all its belongings was placed upon the public auction block by Sheriff Osburu, at Corvallis, last Saturday at 2 o'clock p. m. After due time elapsed and no bid being presented the sheriff postponed the sale until today. Meantime the court will probably make an order postponing the sale for some definite time. A dastardly trick, aud one which, deserves the .severe condemnation . of all true American citizens, was perpetrated at Drift creek school house last Friday night. The ' school children of the district had hoisted 1 nVfg over the school house . and left it waving there. On Fri-':. day night some person or person tore down the flag and put up a barley sack on the staff. They , took the flag away and up. to the '. time of our information had not re-; turned it yet. The people la that ' vicinity are highly indignant at the flagrant act and if the guilty parties " are apprehended they will be made to suffer the penalty of the law. The worst part of it is that it will take about two months for the de feated candidates to tell what did it, and the successful ones to' tell how they did it. a ,
