the conditions 'surrounding the different

' Mrs. Sarah Prot'bs tel. wife of Wendell
Proebatel, was the original grantee.
She died without leaving heirs. A group
a -attorneys w In (Portland, including
among others H. A. Hogue, Bent Klllln,
all of whom are dead, are alleged to
hava trumped up some heirs in Ireland.
It la shown by the records in the pro
bate court that these heira were satis
fied, which is obvious, since they were
not heirs at all. The attorneys in
volved are alleged to have bought the
Jand from them at what it was worth
at that ame and sold it at an enormous
profit.
If it can be shown that these are the
facts, the' nronerty will revert to the
