For A Miser's Fortune.

Portland Special: Some two years
since Greenberry Smith, an old pio-
neer of Benton county. died, possessed
of about 10000 acres of land in that
county, valued at about $5OO,OOO. He
left a widow and two very dissipated
sons. He settled near Corvallis about
1916. He lived in wretched style and
never did anything but loan money on
mortgages and accumulate land. A
suit in equity has been commenced in
the United States circuit court here by
John Smith and thirty-four others, re-
siding in Iowa, Minnesota and Oregon,
including Mahala Rodgers. OF Califor-

deceased for division of the property.
