AFTER CONVENTION
PENDLETON WANTS ONE
OF FOUR STATE MEETS
State Good Roads Association VIII
Hold Its First Convention at Grants
Pass March II, and it Is Hoped and
Believed the Second Convention
Can Be Secured for Pendleton.

At the meeting Of the Commercial
association this afternoon Senator
Smith expects to bring up the matter
of securing one of the conventions of
the Good Roads association for Pen
dleton this year. Under the law
passed at the last session OF the leg
islature four conventions are to be
held during the year at different
places in the state, for which $500
was appropriated by the legislature.
The first convention is scheduled to
be held at Grants Pass on March 81.
and at that time the place for the
next session will be selected. When
Senator Smith was present at one of
the good roads conventions last year
he suggested Pendleton as a place
for holding future convention, and
he is now in receipt of a letter from
]. H. Scott, president of the associa-
ton and county Judge of Marion
county, suggesting that Pendleton
should have some delegates to the
coming convention in order to secure
the next meeting for this place.
1t is thought that in view of the
fact that four conventions are to be
held, that at least one of them should
be in Eastern oregon, and that it
should be held at this place.

In the circuit court a lively legal
battle is now being waged over the
Pearson-Perygne case from Free
water, in which Is or 20 witnesses are
subpoenaed, and in which nearly as
many lawyers are interested.
Thus far all of the time has been
taken by the plaintiffs side in an eff
fort to prove that the land which was
purchased by Pearson and Winters
from Joseph Perygne was not bought
at an unfair price, and also that young
Perygne was of age, and accountable
for his acts. Thus far the following
witnesses have been examined for
the plaintiff with the idea of showing
the above: Louis Winters, A. S.
Pearson. Joseph Perry, James Thomp-
son, A. Wilder, Thomas Lewis and
R. r. Collins. At noon, when ad-
journment was taken, the attorneys
for the plaintiff stated that they
would consume all of the afternoon
with hearing their witnesses.
For the defense the following peo-
pie from Freewater are now here to
testify: w. ]. Chastain. Jacob Hud-
gems. both former guardians of young
Perygne. w. McDaniels, Ed Hudgens,
William Lloyd, W. H. Clark, Howard
Evans, C. C. Walters, Sam Christian
sen and Mrs. w. ]. Chastain. For
mer County Judge George Hartman
is also subpoenaed for the defense.
A. d. Stillman and James A. Fee
represent the plaintiffs; Pearson and
Winters; HALEY & Lowell have been
retained by the county court for the
defense; ]. H. Lawrey represents
Joseph Perygne. and S. A. Newber-
ry appears for C. H. Reynolds, the
present guardian.
The suit is brought for the purpose
of raising a cloud that is upon Pear
sons title to 100 acres of land pur-
chased by him from Joseph Perygne
several years ago. Young Perygne is
an orphan and is said to be an i'm
beetle The land in question was left
him by his father, Frank Perygne,
and was decided by the boy to Pear
son for consideration of $4,000. The
defense contends that at the time of
the sale the land was worth double
this amount and that advantage was
taken of the boys weakness when the
trade was made. Also, it is claimed
that at that time he was under guar
dianship, and therefore that the title
is not valid. The county court is in
terested in the case because of the
liability of Perygne becoming a
county charge should he be allowed
to run through his property.
