ARE IN CONTROL
Hamilton & Rourke Win the
Warehouse Case.
THE MILITIA IN TROUBLE
Four Oregon Boys May Be
Diciplined.

On Tuesday, July 10, Judge Goldman
at Dayton, Wash, sustained the motion
to vacate the receivership of the Ham.
ilton. Rourke Warehouse System. This
makes the third time that court has
discharged temporary receiver for the
above mentioned corporation, namely:
Judge S. A. Lowell, of Umatilla county,
made similar ruling, as did Judge
Brents, of Walls Walla, Wash. This &C.
tion of three judges places the ware
house of the Hamilton -Rourke company
in control of Charles Hamilton and I. F.
Rourke.
A little history of this legal battle,
says the Eaet Oregonian, will prove Of
interest to many who have heretofore
been in ignorance OF what the trouble
was all about. The Hamilton Rourke
company owns 40 warehouses in Eastern
Oregon and Eastern Washington. In
the spring of 1897 the Hamilton Rourke
Warehouse System IA corporatioD) was
formed, the principal members of which
are 7. B. Wilcox and Eibson & Kerr, Of
Portland. Mr.. Wilcox is manager OF the
Portland FIGURING Mills company and
ractically controls the elevators at
Portland which would handle the
wheat shipped from the Inland EN-
pire. Shortly after the organization
of this latter corporation the Hamil
tom -Rourke company mortgaged it's
warehouses to the Hamilton Rourke
Warehouse System for something more
than $4,000. That mortgage fell due
more than six months ago, and it is
claimed by the Hamilton -Rourke com
pany that the mortgage has been paid,
but that the Hamilton -Rourke Ware
house System still holds troll of the
property and refuses to satisfy the
judgment or to foreclose. The Hamil-
tom Rourke company claims that it the
mortgage had not been paid the proper
way for the Hamilton -Rourke Ware
house System to have obtained legal
possession Of the warehouses would have
been to foreclose
The attorneys for the Hamilton
Rourke company claim that under the
Oregon statutes the Hamilton -Rourke
Warehouse System, even If it should
now attempt to foreclose the mortgage
long since due, would be unable to OBJ.
tain control of the warehouses within
six months.
D. W. Bailey and Carter & Raley are
attorneys for the Hamilton -Rourke
company.
