PAHE TWO
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1934.
SERVED NOTICES
TO VACATE AREA
. Ouster notices la accordance with
a temporary Injunction granted 10
days ago by the circuit court, have
been served upon squatters mining
the past two years upon the property
of the Sterling mine. R. E. Banks,
-And 74 others, were named as de
fendants In the action.
The mine property was recently
taken over for operation on an op
tion by a syndicate of eastern capi
talists, according to Attorney Porter
J. Neff. .
All the miners, with exception of
two or three, have left, according to
the attorney.
. The sheriff's office reported that
last week they sold auto licenses to
a number of the squatters, so they
could return to their homes In Wash
ington, California and other western
states,
. The squatter miners worked the
land for three years under permission
granted by Pred J. Blakeley, of the
Medford Water Power and Develop
ment company. The depression caused
a return to gold mining. For the
most- part the squatters were from
other sections. The returns are re
ported as good, bad and indifferent,
as usual with mining. Some of the
squatters said they were making a
bare living. Others reported the re
turns were "better than wages."
Within the past fortnight one of the
squatters found a nugget that netted
close to 200, it wss reported.
The court, in grant! the tem
porary Injunction, excluded a small
portion of the mining land upon
which the title waa doubtful. A hear
Ing upon a motion to make the In
junction permanent Is scheduled for
an early date.
The Sterling Mining company yes
terday filed a suit against A. E.
Brock way of Jacksonville, tendering
Brolkway $244. the amount he haa
paid on purchase of a portion of the
land on a county foreclosure sale.
Brockway agreed to make the pur
chase on the payment plan. The
mining company holds the purchase
was void, and the county was not
within lta powers In selling the land
for delinquent taxes.

SEEK DISMISSAL
'S
SENTENCE APPEAL
The attorney general of Oregon to
day filed with the state supreme
court a motion asking for the dis
missal of the appeal of Gordon L.
Schermerhorn, former sheriff, under
a. three-year sentence to state prison
for conviction of participation In the
ballot thefts. Notice of the action
waa served upon Prank J. Newman,
counsel for Schermersorn.
The motion seeks dismissal of the
appeal upon the grounds that the bill
of exceptions and transcript of the
testimony were not filed within the
time prescribed by law and that the
circuit court had no Jurisdiction to
grant extensions of time.
Granting of the dismissal motion
would end appeal and mean commit
mcnt of Schermerhorn, at present at
liberty on $7,500 bonds. Argument
on the motion will be heard by the
supreme court.
Schermerhorn was sentenced laat
August 8 and immediately served no
tice of appeal. He was granted (our
extensions of time by the lower court
for filing of transcript of testimony
and bill of exceptions. Recently he
was granted until April 20 to file
a brief in the appeal. It Is the last
of the vote-stealing cases on which
legal action is pending. All the oth
ers .have been disposed of by serving
of sentences, paroles or dismissals.
In passing sentence upon Scher
merhorn, Judge G. P. Skipworth from
the bench stated It was "one of the
most painful experiences of my life"
and said that he would recommend a
parole as soon as the law allowed.
Schermerhorn. a resident of the
county for 40 years, Is widely known,
particularly among Vie older residents.
