BRYSON DECLARES
He IS COMPETENT
ASKS TO BE DEFENDANT IN
SUIT
Denies Allegations Made by His WIFE
Gives Brief History of Estate
and Division of
Property

Hopes of scandal and risque stories
received a severe setback in the case
of John Bryson, the aged millionaire,
whom his wife alleges is incompetent,
when Bryson yesterday filed an inter-
vention to his wife's suit before Judge
.Bordwell in which he alleged that he
was not only capable of handling his
own estate but that it was none of his
wife's business what he did with the
money he had since, before his separa-
tion from her, he had given her half
his estate and made her independently
wealthy. ="
Bryson asks In his suit to be made
defendant to the suit filed by his wife
and his plea was granted. He alleges
that he knows Mrs. Gladys Lamberton
but that any other allegations regard
ing him other than that he simply
knows Mrs Lamberton as a friend are
false and without foundation.
In his suit Bryson gives short his
tory of his estate. He alleges that he
met Mrs. Lamberton and became her
friend. That before he ever separated
from his wife he arranged his estate in
such manner as to be able to divide 1t
equally and that upon separating from
his wife, a separation which he de-
clares to be flnal he gave his wife ex-
actly one-half of all his property, clear
ing all claim that she might have to
any of the remainder of the estate and
making her a rich woman.
Bryson alleges that he is perfectly

competent to handle his estate. That
he is Sc years Of age and in sound mind
and body and enjoying good health. He
further alleges that he has known Mrs
Lamberton as a friend only and that
never has he given her any sums Of
of the complaint filed by his wife.
Step by step in the entire answer
Bryson denies the allegations Of his
wife. He states that the 100000 or
more at present held by him is entirely
under his control with all its income
and that Mrs. Lamberton cannot touch
a dollar Of it without his consent. In
by his wife he alleges that it sis none
of her business and none of his sons
business" how nor where he spends his
money.
The contention in the Bryson family
became publicly known a week or two
ago when suit was filed by Mrs. Bryson,
also an octogeniarian, asking that she
be appointed to take charge of the es-
tate of her husband, whom she alleges
was incompetent to manage his affairs.
The complaint then recited that sew
eral years ago Bryson had met Mrs.
Lamberton and had become infatuated
with her. In the following order the
complaint alleged that Bryson had
given Mrs. Lamberton money for a tour
of the United States and for extensive
tours in Europe after she had left her
husband; that he bought her a beauti-
full home on Bonnie Brae avenue and
that since his separation from his wife
he had been staying at Mrs. Lamber-
toms home, she acting as housekeeper
for him. The complaint further alleged
that the Lamberton woman had gained
complete control of the Bryson fortune
and that she alone could handle the
great income as 1t fell due.
Today Judge Bordwell will decide up
on date for a thorough investiga tion
of, the affair at which time all factions
will be compelled to fight out their
differences.

In Drunken Frenzy Man Attempts to
Kill His Wife, and Shoots
Once, When Neishbors
Interfere

AS windup of a protracted debauch
A. A. Allen made an attempt to shoot
and kill his wife last night and is then
said to have taken dose of poison to
kill himself. This latter statement,
however, is not believed, for while
Allen was in an insensible condition
when he was taken to the receiving
hospital it is thought that it was the
effect of whisky and not narcotics.
Allen came up from San Pedro,
where he is EMPLOYED as waiter, in
an intoxicated condition yesterday
afternoon. He was accompanied by his
wife, who had gone to San Pedro to
see him. On the car she scolded him
for drinking and he retorted with
curses and threats and remarked that
when he got her home he would "fix
her good and plenty and that he had
the tools to do 1t WITH" at the same
time displaying a razor and a revolver.

pulled out the razor which he carried
in his coat pocket. Mrs. Allen pluckily
took the razor away from him before
he could open it and he then drew his
revolver.
She attempted to disarm him again,
but before she could get possession OF
the weapon he had fired one shot at

screamed for help. A crowd gathered
and a number of men entered the

where his stomach was pumped out
and he was booked on a charge OF as

taken no poison and that he was suf-
fering from the effects of cheap alcohol.

BUSINESS MEN
OF PORTLAND
GREETED WITH HEARTY WELL
COME IN HEPPNER.
Pleasant and Profitable Meeting I'm
Getting More Intimately
Acquainted.

The Portland business men wer
' greeted with hearty welcome il
Heppner last Friday evening.
The special train bearing the x
visitors arrived in the city at ell
o'clock. The committee of Hepp
ner business men as we'll as large
number of citizens were at the de.
pot to meet them.
| 1t was a meeting of business
men, in fact a business proposition
all the way through, consequently
there was no flare of trumpets, not
even brass band, however there
was not a lack of enthusiasm on
the part Of Heppner business men
and citizens.
Owing to the fact that the train
arrived at the dinner hour a num-
ber Of the visitors We're engaged in
refreshing the inner man when the
train pulled in. They came leis-
urely up town from the depot in
different squads.
The visitors spent the early part
of the evening in groups in look
ing over the town and were enter
tanned by the different business
men.
At a little before nine o'clock
the visitors with a large number
of citizens mbled at the ath-
letic room of the Commercial Club
house. Prior to the main meeting,
the center of attraction at the club
rooms was the display of coal from
the Willow creek coal mines which
had been placed on exhibition by
Geo. Conser.
There was only one thing to mar
the pleasure Of the meeting and
that was the scarcity of seats.
Many people were forced to stand
up during the meeting owing to
the large number of people Dres. |
ent.
E. L. Freeland acted as chair
man, and after stating the objects
Of the meeting introduced F. E.
Beech, of Portland.
Mr.. Beech delivered short ad.
lress which bad the ring of bus
ness all the wav through.
"We want the interior cities to
'ealize what is in store for them.
md we want to see every locality
lnited and pulling in the same di.
ection," said Mr.. Beech.
The speaker impressed the au-
ience with the fact that while the
qsiness interests of Portland were {
,eli represented, the business men
,aking up the excursion were not t
ere to take orders, but were here
'r the purpose Of stirring up a
ceiling of encouragement, and it 1
'e had any special questions of
lterest in Heppner that they were r
ere to help us along in every way a
ossible.
AS an illustration Mr.. Beech !,
'ok Baker City. He said that =
he citizens of that town wanted a p
etter railroad station building, -
nd now that Portland business
len understand the situation.
aker City can safely rely upon u
lie hearty cooperation of Port ;
nd in gaining the desired end. l
And it was the same way with u
eppner, continued MIR. Beech. If
lere was anything to make Hepp- 7
'r more prosperous, Portland was b
ady and wanted to take hold of \
le matter and help. He said 81

being a large distributor of K
