trouble.
Tils Othar Side of the Story
Pretty Good Authority, too.
The following article under date
of July 18, 1899, appeared in last
week's Roseburg Plaindealcr. It
was signed by I. II. Bingham one
of the most responsible mining men
in Oregon; and strange as it may
appear, he is not ashamed to sign
his name to the article:
Tii) 1 tor Plainkk AI.UR. Sir: I!
beg space in your valuable paper
for a lew lines in refutation of a
scurrilous article appearing in a
little paper issued in your city 011
the 17th inst., called the Review,
which article was evidently an at
tempt to prejudice your people
against the Jennings boys and
Charles Brunean of Bohemia. The
said article stated in substance
that Chas. M. Collier, a U. S.
mineral surveyor was viciously
assaulted by James Jennings, aided
by R. J- Jennings and Charles
Bruneau, with a Winchester rifle,
his solar transit broken, and the
surveyor ejected at the muzzle of a
rifle, and other stuff equally .vile
and false. The facts are that some
three or four years ago, Bruneau
and some of the Jennings boys lo
cated a mining claim called the
Helena, and at or about the time
they located, they heard that one
G. G. Wariner claimed it and
asked him about it, and he said he
had filed on it but could not hold
it as he had one claim on that vein.
Then Bruneau and the Jenning
boys went ahead and expended
about $1.2,000 besides their time
for three or four years in develop
ing the claim and contracted to sell
it at a good profit. Then said
Wariner commenced a suit in
equity for the mine and asked for
an injunction restraining Mr.
Bruneau and the Jennings boys
from doing further work thereon.
Said suit was dismissed and the in
junction denied by the court.
About this time Mr. Bruneau and
the Jennings boys applied for a U
S. patent for their mine. Then
Mr. Wariner commenced an action
at law in the circuit court to re
cover the mine from Jennings and
Bruneau, which action is not yet
decided. Then the attorney for
Mr. Wariner secured the services
of Mr. Collier, of Eugene, and
went upon said claim with the in
tention of surveying it. Twice
they were ordered away, and went,
but on the third day retnrned
again, and notwithstanding the re
peated warnings and demands of
the owners to keep off the premises
they forced their way on and re
fused to leave. Then Mr. James
Jennings told them they must
leave, and Mr. Collier said he
would not leave. He admitted
that be bad read the notice not to
trespass, and he knew he was on
the Helena claim. Mr. Jennings
in ejecting him from the premises
broke the compass, or at least it
was broken during the process of
getting off" of the claim.
The attorneys for Mr. Wariner
are in fault in the whole trouble,
as they advised the surveyor that
he had a legal right to make the
survey without any order of the
courts or permission from the
owners, which advice was wrong,
and which they must have known
to have been wrong when they
gave it. The surveyor was a tres
passer and the parties with him,
having no permission from the
court or owners to go upon this
property.
I employ about 60 men in the
Bohemia mining district, and there
has never been any trouble in that
camp until this arose, and there
would have been none at this time
had it not been agitated by lawyers
of your town. I have always had
a frieudlj feeling towards lawyers,
believing in the main they intend
to do what is right, but in this in
stance they caused the trouble, and
did an injustice to the Jennings
boys and Bruneau, who are as
quiet and peaceable men as there
are in the camp, and good workers,
spending their time and money in
advancing the interests of the
whole camp.
The charge made in said Rose
burg Review's article that the
Jennings boys had accumulated
arms, ammunition, etc., with the
intention of taking the law into
their own hands is absolutely false,
neither have they "terrorized the
camp" or any persons therein.
The said Roseburg attorney is
probably afraid, and well may he
be, when he advises trespass on
other people's property.
Isaac II. Bingham,
Supt. Music Mining & Milling Co.
GEORGE DEWEY, JR.
"Yes, the newspapers
keep
chasing me all the time.
George Dewey, son of Admiral
Dewey, paused in the act of rum
maging through his sample trunk
at A. Krolik & Co's store and
smiled on a group of three or foyr
persons who were chatting with
him. One of them was a reporter
for the Detroit News, and an
artist was surreptitiously peeking
through the window but Mr.
Dewey was unconscious of any
newspaper men being in the J
neighborhood. !
"It started here in Burnham, I
Stoepel & Co's store," continued f
Mr. Dewey, smiling and showing
his white teeth. "I was there on
business when one of the firm who
knew a lot of newspaper men
thought to do them and ine a kind
ness by bringing us together, so he
called them up by 'phone and the
first thing I knew reporters began
to swarm. Two of them came to
gether, and they have pursued me
ever since."
"Why not give one of them an
interview?" suggested the reporter.
"His paper would be satisfied, and
the others, having been scooped,
wouldn't bother you any more."
"No, I don't agree with you,"
said Mr. Dewey, laughing and
shaking his head. "They'd be
be just as bad as ever."
"Well, you're like a man with a
dose of medicine to take. Swallow
the dose and have it over with as
soon as possible."
"Oh, but I don't have to take
that kind of medicine," laughed
Mr. Dewey, again rummaging his
trunk.
"What's your objection to being
interviewed, anyhow?" .
"I will answer that question by
asking another," said Mr. Dewey
earnestly. "Why should I talk
for publication? What have I
done that peserves public notice?
If my father has become celebrated
it doesn't make any difference to
me, and the only result of my talk
ing would be to make people think
I have the big head. No, I won't
be interviewed."
"When your father comes home
I suppose you will join him in
making a grand tour, swinging
around the circle," suggested Her
man Krolik with a quizzical look
over his spectacles.
"Well, I don't know what
father will think about that," re
plied Mr Dewey, leaning against
a bale of dry goods, "but my
opinion is that he won't accept
much lionizing."
"Won't he accept the testi
monial now being subscribed in
the East?" inquired the reporter.
"I hardly think so. Why should
he want anything more than he's
got the pay of an admiral for life?
That's enough for a man of father's
quiet habits."
"Where does your family live?"
inquired Mr. Erolik.
"Father lives in Washington
most of the time when on shore,"
said Mr. Dewey. "There is 110
family except father and myself.
I have no mother, no brothers -or
sisters. I'm postponing
summer vacation until father gets
home, so as to spend 1 w.u.

George Dewey is a bright, i"

not more than 30 years old, with

for several years a clerk in the
print department of Joy, I.angdon

Hamilton Print works. A few
weeks ago the traveler looking
after this territory was sick, and
the firm sent Dewey out in his

that he has now been sent West a

said to be permanent. He likes
the road, and feels that it offers
better opportunities for him to rise
than he could have expected in
office work.
