DEFENDANT IN
SHO SUIT
Alleging nogllgonco on the part of
tho California-Oregon Power com
pany, tho London & Scottish Insur
anco corporation has fllod anlt
against tho powor company to col
lect $98,08G.72 this amount of In
surance having boon paid to tbo Oof
maln company, of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania said' to bo tho owner ot
at least $105,000 worth ot lumbor
consumod by flro whon tbo Kesterson
mill at Wordonburnod on the 17th
of last September.
Tho complaint states that on the
25th of May, 1920, the Germain com
pany owned a largo quantity of lum
ber In tho yard and plant of tbo I.
E. Kestorson Lumbor company at
Ivan Spur, near Worden, about JO
miles south ot this city, and that the
lumber was insured for Its approxi
mate v'oluo; also that tho California
Oregon Powpr company maintained
and operated ovor and across the
plant and yards three oloctrlc wires
with a capacity of 37,000 volts, the
wiroa being strung about 40 feet
from tho ground and Immediately
over tho lumber. Being carelessly
and unsklllfully hung, so tho com
plaint says, ono or moro wires broko
and foil on the lumber, sotting fire
to It. Holding that tho powor com
pany Is entirely responsible, the
London & Scottish Insurance com
pany, asks that it bo reimbursed
In full for tho Insurance paid.
Tho legal trattlo promises to be
sensational, as tho California-Oregon
Powor company Is known to have
'been at work slnco the tire gatbor
ing evidence (o defend" tho suit.
Ono "of tho main contentions of
dofense. It Is nnjlorstood, will be
that tho power company owned a
right of way for Its lines before the
sawmill and yard was established and
that tho mill piled its lumber on the
company's land without permission
and against tbo oxprossed warning of
tho division managers ot the power
company, both at Klamath Falls and
Yreka.

Ho mot Frank Williams, a former

planned an excursion to Sacramen

hotel next morning and the start
would bo made from tho hostelry.
Williams was there on tho dot and
askod tho clerk it Mageo was in. The
clerk ran bis finger down tho regis
ter and reported no one ot thai name
was registered.
"If ho's hero," ho said, "He's reg
istered undor an assumed namo."
Tho puzzled Williams wont away.
Later ho mot Mageo down town and
upbraided him for registering under
an alias.
Tho local druggist explained that
ho was not n fugltlvo from Justice
nnd huntod tho hotel clerk.
My name's Magoe," ho declaimed,
"M-n-g-o-e. How do you mean I'm not
registered horo?"
A glanco nt tho reglstor and tho
clork was profusely apologizing.
"I olways figured that tho only
way to spell that name," ho said,
"waa by starting M-arO."
