session of circuit court. Judge W. Jj.
Bradshaw of The Dalles, upon motion
of A. J. Derby, attorney for the mi
nority stockholders of the Associated
Fruit Growers, Monday appointed E. N.
Benson receiver of the fruit company
and placed his bond at $3500.
County Judge K. E. Stanton, presi
dent of the corporation, resisted the
motion for a receiver and said that the
corporation was able to finance the
marketing of the apple crop on the
property, but that newspaper reports
nd threatened suits had deterred him
from proceeding.
It was argued by Judge Derby that
the corporation was Insolvent and that
in view of the fact that Marquis and
wife, two members of the board of di
rectors, were permanently without the
state, It would be impossible for the
corporation to hold a legal meeting.
It was also ordered by Judge Brad
shaw that R. J. Jarvls, mortgagee In
possession of one of the 10-acre tracts,
should account to the receiver for the
crop harvested from this tract.
It Is reported that efforts will be
made by the district attorney of Wash
ington county to have extradition pa
pers Issued for Mr. Marquis, now In
Dakota, and who was the principal
stock salesman In the deal, and have
him returned to Oregon to appear for
