TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, OCTOMER 5. 1905. STILL INVESTIGATING Tillamook County Land Deals Anonymons Letter Causes Another Surprise. From all appearance the Federal grand jury is not through investigation Tilla mook County alleged land frauds, for Saturday's Oregonian contained the fol lowing interesting account of a land deal in which one of the parties “squealed Donnaher Before Jury. Another man who appeared yrsterday before Ibis body of men who are probing into crooked land deals, was C. 1). Don- naber, who, with John and D. A. Blodg ett, of Grand Rapids, Mich., and others, purchased the Booth Kelly lumber busi ness. Mr. Donpaher’s appearance before the grand jury was the result of an anonymous letter, or rather two anony mous letters, which were received by Mr. Heney. The first anonymous letter received by the Government officials charging Donnaher, the Blodgetts and Claud Thayer with land frauds in Tilla mook County,was received December 14: 1904. In this letter the writer says that the persons mentioned had obtain ed 37 claims in township 2 north, of range 7 west, in Tillamook County. The anonymous writer had a motive for giving the unsought for information to the government officials, and he did not have any hesitancy in telling it. He says, "They all beat me outof my share; that's why I'm squealing." He also stated in his letter that Donnaher ah. tained script on something like 900 acres, and that Thayer helped him. The writer explains at some length that an investigation was once started, but that it did not get past John Hall, and he stated that the investigation was stop ped because some one was “2 afraid of Carey, Mays and St. Rainer.” The in dictment against Claud Thayer resulted in the investigation; it was the second letier that resulted in the subpenaing of Mr. Donnaher. Has Important Deal. It seems that Mr. Donnaher has been in Portland for several days on import ant lumber business. He is sai l to have a deal on with one of the Kellys. The deal involved a large stim of money, and when they came to try and reach a set- tlement there was a difference of$10,090. While the business deal was still on both men adjourned down to the Portland Hotel bar, and while taking refresh inents they still discussed the deal. As near ns can be learned, Mr. Donnaher wanted $80,000 aud Mr. Kelly refused to give more than $70,000. Suddenly one of them, which is not known, sug gested throwing the dice. This was agreed upon, and the difference was set tled by one toss of the square bone«. In tl>e history of the Portland bar there 1 as been some lively dice shaking. On several occasions the “bones'' have been rolled fora cold $1000, but this was the first lime in the historv of the bar that the stakes were $10,000, Mr. Don. nailer won. That Mysterious Letter. Whether it was the winning of this amount of money at one turn of the dice that brought Mr. Donnaher'seneiny into full cry after him. or whether the wrath has been long slumbering, there is no answer. The fact remains, how ever, that a letter written on a Portland Hotel letterbead, addressed on a Port land I’o el envelope, was received nt the District Attorney's office September 28, saving that Mr, Donnaher could throw considerable light upon certain land deals in Tillamook County. The letter is written in a fine, bold hand, without any attempt to disguise. The anonymous writer seems to be possessed with the same mistaken idea that some other few misguided fools are. that lie cause so fur indictments have not lieen returned against many Irishmen or Catholics. that Mr. Henev would not care to sulipena Mr. D innaher, and that the government was unwilling to prose cute the Irish. Mr. Donnaher was seen last night nt the Portland, tor be is a guest there, but he had little to say about his sudden summons to appear before the grand jury. He seemed to lie unaware that an anonymous letter had caused the trouble, and stated that he could not imagine who, or of what sex his enemy was, that would send an unsigned letter accusing him of land-fraud knowledge.
