OAKLAND, June S.-After three
years of litigation, H. P. Jensen &

deposited s3300 in the Central Bank
of this city and $4,000 in the Farmers
and Merchants Bank. While he adj
mitted that the money in the banks
was the money he had taken, he made
assignments of any interest he might
have in it to his attorneys for their
fees in defending him, with the result
that the money has been tied UP here
ever since. Rather than fight any
longer, Jensen & Company have set
tied with Attorney John c. Scott for
$3.50 and paid O. L. Berry S75 and the
remainder of the $4,000. together with

paid over to H. H. Birkholm, the Dam

by him to the owners. The $4,000 in
the Farmers and Merchants Bank is
claimed by Attorney Fred Russell and
the same course will probably be fol-
lowed in regard to It.
