PORTLAND PEOPLE FLEEcED.
Numerous Business Men Contribute to the
Exchequer of Chicago Con-
fde1ce Man.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 30.-About a
month ago Victor D. L. Nudge of Chicago
came here and established a concern
styled the Northwest Commercial Agency.
He claimed to be lawyer with wealthy
connections in the East and made big
spread. But no business poured in upon
Nudge, and for the past week creditors
have besieged him.
One of the advertising creditors of the
agency called on Nudge on Wednesday to
get a settlement of his balance. Nudge
happened to be just out of funds, but he
gladdened his visitors heart, all the same
by exhibiting letter received from his
mother on that day, announcing that she
would get $26, 600 on Thanksgiving day,
out of which she would wire him $1,000 at
once.
The advertising man was to call on Fri
day and get his money. He visited the
office of the agency this morning, but
Nudge was not there; in fact, some one
told him that the consulting attorney had
skipped" the town.
Nudge could not skip because he is
under arrest for having appropriated some
money belonging to one of his employees,
and is being held on felony charge. This
afternoon there was small mob of angry
creditors about the agency, but Nudge was
safely stored away.
Another attorney of the company, A. +.
Groves. was before Justice Geisler this
morning. and arraigned for the alleged
embezzlement of $50 from j. K. Brown,
client. Glenn Holman filed this informa
ton, stating that Groves had collected $50
for Brown some weeks ago, and approprl-
ated il to his own use This man will also
have an examination next Tuesday.

They Combine in an Action
to Have the Bequest
Set Aside.
WILL CONTEST IN THE COURTS
Fierce Legal Battle for the Possession
of the Beautiful Park
Is Promised.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Nov. 3O.-When
Jose Vicente de Laveaga of San Francisco
died in this city he bequeathed to Santa
Cruz large portion of Laveaga Heights,
a beautiful section of country near this
city, with the recommendation that the
land be maintained as public park to be
enjoyed as place of recreation for the
rich and poor alike Now it seems that
Santa Cruz is not to have the enjoyment
of this muniticent bequest without a fierce
legal battle with the com bined heirs to the
dead mans estate. The heirs are not only
to contest for the portion bequeathed to
Santa Cruz, but also for fifty acres to be
used for a hospital for the deaf and dumb.
The heirs claim that when Mr.. Laveaga
bequeathed the property to Santa Cruz for
public park it was a beque st to charity
and upon this showing the court will be
asked to scale down all charitable bequests
to the one third limit. City Attorney
Charles NJ. Cassin has for the past few
months interested himself and has been
looking into the affairs of the late million
aires estate, and his opinion is that the
grounds taken by the relatives will not
hold. In fighting the suit he will claim
that the bequest of this property to Santa
Cruz does not come within section 1913, for
the reason that it is not charitable be-
quest.
Should the court decide otherwise Mr..
Cassin has another strong point that can
be brought to bear upon the case. This
was found in the will itself. for instead of
bequeathing the land for park purposes
only the will gives the land to Santa Cruz
with the recommendation tina. it be main
tanned as a park, its use as park, how
ever, not being made compulsory. With
this construction placed upon that clause
of the will the land may be used for what
ever purpose seems best in the judgment
of the administration, but with the prefer
euce given to park purposes.
The case will be watched with much in
terest by the people of this city, as the
park is in one of the most beautiful spots
of the county. 1t is on the foothills,
about a mile from the city. and the view
from it is grand one, overlooking the
city and Monterey Bay.
When Mr.. Laveaga was alive he spent
much of his time and money on this place,
and it is laid out with drives, paths
through the forests and pretty shrubbery,
with fruits and vines of all kinds planted
upon the fertile slopes of the hills. This
noble gift is one which the people OF
Santa Cruz may yet be deprived of.
