Graham Suit Against
1 Spreckels Dismissed
federal Judge Beaa Holds Action In
volving Beaver Hill Mine Baseless
Victory for Spreckels Interests.
R, A. Graham's suit against John Ds
Spreckels & Bros, company and the
Southern Pacific was this morning dis
missed as baseless by Federal Judge
Bean.
Graham was the promoter and de
veloper of the Beaver Hill coal mine.
In Coos county, and the Coos Bay, Rose,
burg & Eastern railway. He borrowed
large Bums of money from the Spreck
els company. The Spreckels company,
to safeguard its Interests, it-claimed
in court, secured an agreement with
Graham, June 8, 1899. In this agree
ment Graham promised to pay the
Spreckels company $500,000 In six
months, and, If . he did not pay, to re
linquish tie property. He did not pay,
and the Spreckels company took posses
sion of the mine and railroad.
Graham contended that the agree
ment did not contemplate that he
should be ousted totally for non-pay
ment. He asked for an accounting so
that his equity in the property might
be determined.
Judge Bean, in dismissing Graham's
complaint, held that the agreement was
voluntarily entered Into by him after
days of negotiation, with able counsel
and full knowledge of all the facts, and
that there Is nothing to show that Gra
ham was overreached or Imposed upon.
