V THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND; FRIDAY EVENING, ' NOVEMBER 4, 1910; . SOLD OUT SILE1Z CUEUTS' CLAIMS Homesteader Charges Candi date for Congress With Bad Faith When Acting-as At - torney for Settlers. I W, Waller, of Monmouth, one of 25 Silets. homesteaders who employed A. w. Lafferty aa their attorney to secure title to the lands upon whlsn they had filed,'; charges Lafferty with having sold them out to a lumber com pany, or some other third party, after he had gained their confidence.. Waller, himself, aid, not sell his claim, but all his companions did,-, according to the relation of the story by A. J, Winters, of' the Winters Hardware company of this city, a brdther-ln-law of Waller. - According to the story of ,' Waller, liaffertfTit flrst told the homesteaders that he could get title ,to their , claims, and the Slletz men agreed to pay him 1700 each for th work done by the at-, torney. .Later, Lafferty reversed his decision and told the homesteaders that they had ho title to. the land, and ad vised them to sell thelr'.clalms for $600. Some sold for $500 and some refused, and finally Lafferty put the price up to $1000 a claim. Then all sold with the "exception of Waller and ' three oth ers. 'Again Lafferty boosted the price to $1600 and all sold but Waller. Then Xafferty offered Waller $2000 and fin ally 12500 for his claim. - 8 till Wallnr refused to selL , . ., -.'( - -While Waer' was .th PoHtliftd-recent-ly he (talked bitterly of the treatment i Jjf ferty had accorded his clients and paid that It was his belief and the be lief rof practically aU . of the Slleta homesteaders .engaged In the transac tion that Lafferty, while acting as their attorney, had deliberately sold them out jto some third party, , - ,;,., Waller could not . understand why it was that Lafferty told the homestead era In the first place that he could cer tainly s?cure title to, therfclaims, ac cepted their retaining fee's, and then later told them it was impossible for them to secure title. . - , i It can not be understood why ft was that Lafferty, acting as the attorney tor the homesteaders, advised them to ell their claims, arguing . that they could not; secure title, and attempting ta lnfluenee them to selUout for $500, when, as shown by the offer made to .Waller, the claims were worth $2500. As a result of the mlxup Waller and the other flllet men who employed Laf ferty to represent them, are pretty sore at t h rnn VraaalnnnI a. , 11 - a vu..iuni vfuiuiuaiv, VBlieY- !ng that he was not square with them, and that he sold them- out, even" while aotrng as their attorney and after hav ing accepted their retaining fees."? HOTEL MAN MOURNS LOSS OF PHEASfAiMTS Thieves or hunters broke into the poultryVyard of A. Schamoni, the pro- , prletor of.he Germanla' hotel ' at Tk gard, Or.,vi0 nights ago and stole five high bred ;ChInese pheasants which the , owner-had been carefully growing for two years for pet and ornamental pur poses. Mr. Schamoni is a keen pheaf ant fancier and feels the loss of the 'birds keenly. , , , t . . - i ne missing birds were of a covey of 24 birds which have been the admira tion of scores of Portland autolsts dur ing the past two years. The raiders cut a large hole In . the- wire scree . and made off with five of tha handsomest birds,' the loss not being discovered un til 10- o'clock the next day, when it was rrveajed to Mr. Schamoni by a Portland autolst. He does not know whether it is spite work or whether some hunter cut the wire in hopes that the birds- would escape and provide shooting, , , LINCOLN COUNTY HAS - :::.PPAN.GE at eddyville , Eddyville, Or., Nov. 4.-Eddjivlll grange has been orgarrfied by State Deputy Cyrus H.
