TACoNA, July 1.-THE case OF sho
United States VS.. Edward H. Budd and

tion oi Judge Haniord to-day. Tho case
is one for the cancellation of patent
alleged to have been frnudontly
obtained by Budd under the timber land
act for Washington and Oregon, at the
instance VI J. II. Montgomery, in whom
the title is now vested. The tract In
question Is one of many similarly
obtained by Montgomery, md is tho
southwest quarter of section ~, town
ship o, range | east, of the Willamette
meridian, and was filed with tho Van
couYer land Office.
Tho principal question at issue is as TO
the real character of tho land, whether

| qualities or for It's timber or stone. Upon
| tue decision of this case hangs the titles
| Of many thousands Of nCres OF timber

Another question involved, and the
