PILE Til
Joy riding for Carl Dick, a rancher
living 14 miles from Portland on the
.United Railways line, proved an ex
pensivo luxury. It also opened the
eyes of the rancher to some of the
tricks or. a city, and finally brought a
sentence of 30 days on the rockpile for
F. N. Kramer. This sentence was given
Kramer this morning for showing Dick
the city one night last week. '
Dick met Kramer one midnight in a
hotel. Kramer asked him to take an
automobile ride. After driving around
the city, Kramer asked Dick for $1. Aft
er another short drive he asked for an
other $1. The joy riders met three men
whom they asked to Join them ih the
ride. Kramer later asked the three men
for a loan of 2. An argument fol
lowed and Kramer was arrested. He
told Dick to remain with the machine
until he returned. Dick remained all
night and until the next forenoon, when
Kramer was released from jail
Kramer asked for another loan with
which , to pay his fine. Dick made it,
and was then without funds. Kramer
agreed to pay Dick's board until he
could pay back the money. The board
consisted Of coffee and doughnuts, says
Dick. .
.Evidence then showed that Kramer
had attempted to hire agents to sell second-hand
autos In the country, whlcft
agents were required to make a de
posit of $25 to show good faith.

FIGHT TO REGAIN
4350 ACRE RANCH
Tobey Bros.' Claim They Were
Defrauded by DeLarm
. and Associates. .
George -H. Plumrher, ' western land
agent .fflfthe Northern Tacific, was a
witness today ift the federal court in a
case that arose from the prosecution of
W. E. DeLarm and others, in the Co
lumbia orchards land fraud case. In
this action Frank L. Tobey and William
K. Tobey are suing DeLarm and his as
sociates to recover a 4350 acre ranch
in Gilliam county, which they traded for
$141,000 worth of "gilt edged'' 20 year
bonds in the Columbia Orchards com
pany. -jiWhen -"the hearing opened yesterday
afternoon, William E. Tobey testified
that DeLarm, 11. H. Humphreys and
George Hodges had told him that they
had options or contracts on about 10,000
acres of land in the Wahluke district.
This was denied on the' stand this
morning by Mr. Plummer. He said that
the DeLarm connections hadyfiever been
granted options or contracts on any por.
tlon of the tract owned by the railroad
company.
To their repeated efforts to get con
trol of the railroad company's tract they
were told he said, that none-of the land
would be sold until 1911. Lte in the
summer of that year the Columbia
River Water company secured from the
railroad company the right to exploit its
holdings. The Columbia River Water
company was a DeLarm corporation, but
It was not organised, it is alleged, until
long after the Tobey transaction had
been executed.
The complaint In this case alleges that
the Tobey Bros', ranch was valued at
12,000 at the time the trade was made,
and $141,0.00 worth of bonds was ex
