House and Range Ready
It had been rumored this week
that Fred Bartholomew of Esta
cada had rented the bungalow
across from the Estacada Hotel,
formerly occupied by Lee Bronson i
and family.
Our society reporter in an in
terview' with the new tenant,
learned that a new range had
been purchased and installed in
the new home, but a list of fur
ther appurtenances and equip
ment necessary to the conduct of
a happy home, were not forth
coming this week, but the News
hopes to add to this list of neces
sities in a later issue.
Ju ry Com prom ise V erdict
In the case of Califf brothers
of Garfield vs. Chris. Johnson of
George and Ed. Burnett of Port
land, which came up for trial in
Justice Devore’s court last Tues
day, the jury comprising Messrs.
F. J. Harkenrider. John Ely, P.
F. Standish, Ed. Shearer, L. Hale
and Fred Bartholomew', rendered
a verdict which represented a fair
compromise of the amount of
money involved.
Under the condition, as the ver
dict favored both parties, it has
yet left in doubt, which side won
and which side still has to pay the
court costs, so another suit to
settle this item my result.
