A Rcgrctablo Suit.
Prior to filing tne complaint this
afternoon Col. Raley said he did so
with great regret and that his client,
Mr. Stnnfleld also regretted taking
the action. He says Mr. Stanfield has
declared his purpose of being as lent
ent as possible with the parties made
defendants but that he desires the
money to which he la entitled under
the mortgage.
According to Col. Raley the litiga
tion which threatened Dr. H. W. Coe
some months ago was settled by the
doctor placing the mortgage in the
hands of Mr, Stanfield. Since that
time he has not met the same and
payments being overdue the fore
closure la in order.
How much loss the action taken
- will work to the people of Stanfield is
uncertain but from appearances the
defendants stand to lose the amounts
they have Invested unless a compro
mise can be affected or unless they
are reimbursed by Dr. Coe.
Two suits were filed. One Is for
the sum of $2912.60; and the sum of
$290 attorney's fee; while the other
suit is for the collection of $46,637.91.
An attorney's fee of $4600 Is asked
for. The first suit is against the Co
lumbia land company and holders of
tracts adjoining the town. The big
suit Is against the land company and
purchasers of lots within the town.
Thirty-one purchasers of land from
the Columbia land . company had
been released from their mortgages
These purchasers now hold 87 lots
In the town.
AXOIITER STEEL MAGNATE
IS DOWN ON COUNTS
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 23. Taint
ed titles are at a discount in Birm
ingham. J. C. Maben, president of
the doss-Sheffield Steel & Iron com
pany and a hard-headed man of bus
iness, Is said to have given the "skid-
doo" sign to Count Martio de Nascl
mento of Portugal, whose marriage
to Mr. Maben's daughter. Miss Eliza
beth, had been set for today.
The Iron magnate disagreed vio
lently with the count in regard to a
marriage settlement. Rumor has it
that the noble, claiming at first to
be actuated only by the slncerest and
most disinterested affection for the
fair Birmingham girl, put off his fi
nancial demands until the date and
arrangements for the marriage had
been completed.
Although the count is the scion of
a family as old as the House of Bra-
ganza Itself, his title Is somewhat
clouded by the fact that the new Por
tuguese republic has announced the
abolition of all patents of nobility.
Count Martio therefore haa no stand
ing as a noble in his home country.
It is reported here- that a large
number of Portuguese nobles are now
in this country or will soon come over
to search for wealthy wives. Under
the monarchy, the Portuguese nobil
ity waxed fat and prosperous from the
labor of the poor, but that condition
no longer exists, and many men with
Imposing titles now find themselves
forced to choose between marrying
American heiresses or going to work.

PROTEST IS MADE
TO SPOKANE ROUNDUP
Reports that Spokane people are
thinking about having a liound-up
have once more roused the ire of Pres
ident J. R. Raley and others In the
management of the Pendleton show.
Believing that those who are back
ot the Spokane move have taken the
matter up without first giving due
consideration to Pendleton's rights Mr.
Raley last evening wired a lengthy
nirjit message to the secretary of the
pekanu mercnants ana manuiaciur-
Ing: association. In the same he ex
plained the case from a Pendleton
standpoint and asked that the name
Round-up be not used by Spokane.
He held that Pendleton Is entitled to
the use of that name and that the
Round-up is as characteristic of this
city as is the national apple show
of Spokane. He also suggested that
it would be an advertising mistake
for' Spokane to have a round-up In
view of the fact that the eastern
Washington city is giving much prom
inence to its horticultural resources.
It Is possible that Secretary J. H.
Gwinn, of the Round-up association
will make a trip to Spokane for the
purpose of going over the subject
