Suit Filed
Over Ranch
An equity lult to force up
holding of an alleged verbal
agreement between the late Vera
L. Crisler and Edward F. Fitz
patrick, involving the Boyd
ranch near Bly, was filed with
the county clerk yesterday
against Dola N. Clemens, ancil
lary administrator for the Cris
ler estate, by U. S. Balentine, at
torney for Fltzpatrick.
Fltzpatrick, who was a butch
er in Klamath Falls before be
coming a rancher, claims that he
and Miss Crisler had an agree
ment to buy the George Boyd
ranch, cattle and equipment.
She was to put up the money
for the purchase, and they were
to be co-operators of the ranch,
share and share alike, waiving
repayment of the initial outlay,
Fitzpatrick asserts.
They bought the ranch on
March 5, 1945, paying $10,000
down and leaving a balance of
$24,300 to be paid at $5000 a
year. Another $10,000 was paid
for the livestock. In all Miss
Chrisler spent about $32,000 on
the ranch, the suit set forth.
The agreement was verbal, but
bills of sale for the land and
cattle refer to Fitzpatrick and
Miss Crisler as co-partners.
Miss Crisler died last Novem
ber 20, leaving a will and three
codicils which did not mention
either Fitzpatrick or the ranch.
Dola N. Clemens was named as
ancillary administrator.
On January 30, by court or
der, Fitzpatrick, as surviving
partner, was placed under $7000
bond to liquidate the partner
ship's assets. Liquidation, Bal
entine asserts, cannot be done
immediately but in the due
course of business.
Just before her death, Miss
Crisler sold cattle for $12,730
and deposited that money in the
bank to be used in buying more
cattle for the ranch, Fitzpatrick
claims. This suit is to force Clem
ens to turn loose that money for
purchase of cattle, and also
money for payment on the in-1
stallment due on the property.
Release of the money is neces'
sary to protect the investment in
the ranch, f itzpatrick declares.
J. H. Carnahan is the local at
torney for Clemens.

Team Track
Southern Pacific this week re

business concerns. Since then,
industrial firms, such as Stand
