DECISION ADVERSE TO TAYLOR
Case in Which Moses Taylor Sued For
Sum of $59,000 Damages
Cirouit Judge, H. J. Bean, Wednes
day handed down bis decision upon
tbe demurrer in tbe case of Moses
Taylor vs. Isabella IayJor, John Ban
nister, and R. J. Boddy.
Several months ago Taylor started an
action for damages against tbe three
above named parties for tbe sum of
$59,000.00. alleging that be bad been
damaged in that Bum on aooount of a
malicious prosecution in which the
said defendants are aoonsed of rail
roading him to the penitentiary for an
alleged attempt to commit the crime
of arson by attempting to burn John
Bannister's barn.
A demurrer was filed to the com
plaint upon two grounds: First; that
tbe complaint ' did not state faots
sufficient to constitute a cause of ac
tion ; second that the aotion had not
been oommenoed within tbe time pre
scribed by law for snob actions to be
begun.

aud Wili M. Peterson, ettoruoy frr j
.Toi.u Buunistm. Mis. Taylor, and R.
J. Boddy, consumed five bnurs in tbe
argument of tbe case. Hud each side
presented a long list of authorities to
sustain its contention Jud(e Bean
took he matter nnder advisement until
Wedueuday wbeu he banded down bis
decision.
He sustained the demurrer upon
both grounds, but gave permission to
tbe plaintiff to amend bis oomplaint
but, on the other hand, tbe couit held
that if there ever had been a cause of
aotion against tbe defendant it was
barred by the statute of limitations.
Attorney J. P. Winter, representing
Mr. Taylor, stated that the case wonld
probaby be appealed to tbe Supreme
Court and be beard in that court at
its May term io Pendleton.
A family living in the north part
of town were reported to tbe charitably

VAt a speoial meeting held at tbe

29. This levy of two mills on the

distriot which is placed at $683,000,
will net the district $1,366. From

The Press man herewith expresses
his thanks to Riohard Wright tor the
interest the young man took in recover- j
ingjonr valuable pointer, "Joe." We

the dog was missed, and later Riohard
recovered him at Weston and brought
him to the Press office. Later ii has
been learned that a certain Weston
editor kidnapped Joe with the view to
selling him to a Walla Walla junk
peddler. I bere are times when a
fellow feels like rising the anatomy of
despisable wretohes for shotgun tar
gets; and this is one of these times. ,
