Lawsuit To Rescind Sale
Of Indian Land Set May 6
Portland U.R) Trial of a gov
ernment suit to rescind sale of
800 acres of Indian timberland
near Gold Beach, Ore., Tuesday
was set for May 6.
Federal Judge Gus J. Solomon
set the date over the protest of
XJ. S. District Attorney Henry L.
Hess Monday after turning down
a plea by Hess for a temporary
injunction to prevent further
cutting on the timberland.
Earlier in the day Judge Solo
mon denied a petition of inter
vention in the federal action. The
petition was filed by Attorney
Leroy L. Lomax in behalf of the
Portland Trust Bank. The bank
has filed a suit similar to the
federal government's. The main
difference between the two ac
tions is that the bank lists of
ficials of the Portland Bureau as
defendants. The bank acted as
conservator of funds of Jasepr
Grant and Harold F. Thornton,
the former Indian owners of the
land, in filing the suit.
To Deny Fraud Claim
Wilbur Henderson, attorney
for Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Tay
lor, two of the defendants in
the suit, told the court the essen.
tial facts and transactions set throat.
forth in the government's com
plaint will be admitted, but that
the government's allegation of
fraud will be denied.
The government claims that
Mrs. Ernestine C. Siniscal bought
the land for $135,000 from the
Indian Bureau. The bureau sold
the tract for the two wards,
Grant and Thornton.
Mrs. Siniscal, the suit claims,
sold the land to the Taylors and
was to be paid $25,000 for her
"services."
The government claimed in its
complaint that the land was
worth approximately $300,000.
Influenza Still Tops
Communicable Diseases
Influenza still accounted for
the most cases of communicable ;
disease in Jackson county last!
week, with 117 cases being re-i
ported. Most of them, 101, werej
in Medford. j
There were 142 cases of dis
ease reported, including pneu
monia, scarlet fever, measles,
chicken pox, infectious mononu
cleosis, infectious jaundice (twoj
cases in Medford) and strep;
Glass Mountain, in Siskiyou
county, is estimated to contain
one of the largest deposits of ob
sidian in California, if not in the
United States.
