Baker City, Ore, May 2SS.--C. w.
Hill, who resigned as manager of the
Evening Herald of this city about a
week ago, entered the Office early this
morning and took possession of the
presses and type by virtue OF bill Of
sale which he holds from the Blake
McFall Paper Company of Portland
who had the material sold under an at
tachment last March.
Hill refuses to allow Livermore and
Moore, who have been running the pa
per since he left, to get out a paper
unless they pay him $500 cash and as
sumo a mortgage for 1880 against the
property.
In addition to Hill. C. H. Stuller. the
manager Of the White Swan Mines
Company, appeared on the scene with
dray to take away the subscription
and account books. Office furniture and
other property claimed by his COM
pany Stuller claims the entire plant
but part Of the property. presses, type
and linotypes are held under mortgage
by the original owners, which he says
will have to be satisfied before his
company can secure clear title.

tie with Hill so the paper can be issued

Of that company and 1t was therefore
perfectly legal for II TO carry out the

complaints principal point was that
by reason Of the illegal combination
the title to the Northern Pacific stock
had not passed from Hartman and
Pierce and in consequence. they were
entitled to have returned to them the
particular stock they put into the com
