Wheat Notes.


Holders and buyers of wheat are
anxiously watching the market
and wondering what the outcome
will be.
Some excitement has been caus-
ed by rumors that prices far above
the export price have been at the
stations near Walla Walla.
Representatives OF the coast
houses have received no instruct
ions to purchase, consequently no
sales have been reported this week.
At Portland, for valley, all the
way from 63 to 66 cents is bid,
while holders are asking as high as
70. For Walla Walla wheat the
price asked is from 65 to 20. and
finds no buyers below 65.

A SUIT is ENTERED
The First National Bank Sues
For Possession.
BLOCH STOCK INVOLVED.
A Suit in Which L. d. Lively
Figures Prominently.

Suit was brought yesterday bv
the First National bank of Athena
against Zoeth Houser as sheriff, l..
D. Lively, H. Wittenberg, David
Taylor, S. A. Taylor and R. L.
Sabin for the recovery of attached
property and property held by
Lively which, it is alleged, right
fully belongs to the bank.
The complaint AYERS that in 1898
the Umatilla County Farmers CO.
operative company executed to the
bank chattle mortgage on ell its
accounts and credits as security for
the payment of promissory note
for $1,000. Lively was cashier of
the bank at that time, and, it is
charged, he fraudulently and
wrongfully caused the mortgage to
be made in his name. The con-
ditions of the note were broken,
and Lively as cashier began a fore.
closure suit against the company.
He took possession of the mortgage
property, hardware, etc., and re-
moved ii from Helix to Athena.
ssThe complaint also alleges that
in November 1894 ]. Bloch & Co,
of Athena were indebted to the
plaintiff in the sum Of $7621 %
They had given their note to Live
ly for that amount, which had beer
advanced by the bank, and secured
it with a mortgage. on their stock
of clothing, bouts and shoes, etc.
1t is further alleged that in 1894,
D. Taylor executed promissory
note in favor of Lively for $3821.-
30, and gave as security a mort
gage on land in section %, town
ship 4, north of range 3, east.
1t is asserted that Lively had no
interest in these notes, and wrong
fully caused them to be made in
his favor. In 1894, Sabin began a
suit against him, William Ander-
son and others and obtained a
judgment for $11,500, and caused
an execution to he issued on the CO.
operative company's attached prop
erty. Last October, Wittenberg
began an action against him and
J. M. Lively and attached property
valued at $500 and secured by
garnishment the Taylor note. The
plaintiff asked for an injunction
restraining the sheriff from selling
the property, and to be declared
the owner Of the property.
The motion for the injunction
was argued before Judge Lowell
yesterday morning, and was grant
ed.

Consequently one who processes to

say it gives us joy-that people have

novel writing which has held its sway
