.LADD SECURES THEM
Portland Banker Will Pay Trust Com
pany DepOsitors Dollar
for Dollar.

The financial atmosphere in Port
land has cleared perceptibly during
the week.
Large sums of money have been re-
ceiyed from abroad and from eastern
correspondents. The depositors of the
Title Guarantee q Trust Co., have
begun to feel easier by the action of
Ladd 81 Tilton, bankers, in reliuquish-
ing their referred creditor claims on
the Marquam building, the chief asset
OF the trust company which aggregates
$607 900, and the personal promise of
w. NJ. Ladd to pay dollar for dollar
all verified claims of depositors within
two years. Mr.. Ladd's proposition
to the trust company's depositors is as
follows:
Portland, o., Nov. 8, 1907.
While have not participated in tho
management of the Title Guarantee &
Trust company, l am desiIous and
willing to protect the savings bank
depositors of that institution number
ing, as l am advised through the press,
several thousand people, representing
total deposit of some $405,000. To
such depositors l hereby guarantee the
payment of their claims on or before
two years from the date of the ap-
proval of their respective claims as
they now stand, and as shown by
their pass, books, as just and legal
claims against that company. Such
claims must, of course. be regularly
presented to the receiver of the Title
Guarantee q Trust company for al
lowance and adjustment, and all sums
which may be paid or payable on such
claims, either by way of dividends or
otherwise, from the assets Of the Title
Guarantee & Trust company prior to
the expiration of said two years, shall
be credited on the respective claims,
and | will then, at the expire alton of
said period, pay in cash whatever bal
ance may remain due or payable on
said accounts at that time
Upon payment by me of any claim,
am to succeed to any further rights
which such depositor may have against
| said The Title Guarantee & Trust COM
pany as its creditor to the extent of the
payment which shall have made.
While this guarantee ia purely
personal matter and has nothing what
ever to do with Ladd q TiIton,, it
seems proper for me to state here that
the bank of Ladd q Tilton is not an
Incorporated institution, but the estate
of W. S. Ladd is back of it, and be-
fore | could make known to the public
my own intentions desired to consult
all the heirs of the Ladd estate Zone of
whom lives at a distance) as to any
action by Ladd q Tilton; and, wishing
to make complete statement, delay.
ed so that | could incorporate both
matters III one proposition. 1 am now
allie to add that Ladd 81 Tilton will
relinquish to the general creditors of
The Title Guarantee 81 Trust company
the securities which it holds for the
debt of 1907 900 due to Ladd &5 Tilton
This security to be released for pro
rata benefit of all the depositurs and
creditors of The Title Guarantee 30
Trust company, including Ladd &
Tilton.

2017 reduced rate tickets sold at cast
ern points to Oregon territory or points
adjacent thereto. In the correspond

 board, and that as he was a specta-
 tor at the trial he was asked to act as an accommodation The whole matter was finally left with the warden with power to do as he thought best. The report of the tax collector was read and approved. The hearing on the establishment of grade lines on High street was put over until next Monday, when the board will meet at the corner of High and Oak streets. The fixing of the bank in front of the Christopher Colombo society's property on South
 Main street will be attended to at the same time. Heating & Egan were awarded the contract for finish ing the sewer on Highland avenue according to the terms of their con- tract. It was voted to have pub lished in the local paper the notice of the property list as perfected by the assessors. Attorney Kennedy ap- peared before the board and stated
 that if the vote passed at a former meeting was enforced which com pelled Patrick Brennan to remove the veranda that extends over the sidewalk on Spring street, that dam ages would be claimed by MT Bren- nan.

THE PUGlLISTS
THE BUTCHERS
 WON THE COIN Private Fight in New York Which Was a Fierce Battle Other
 Fight News.

If you asked for chuck steak" in a Harlem butcher shop Monday, you were likely to get nice juicy porter house instead and be told to keep the change too. Never were men happier than these self same butchers. They had to man backed Al Greenwood to win in finish fight with Billy Ban croft, of Denver, and Greenwood brought home the bacon.
 It was fierce, slashing bloody fight, and the victor couldn't get the knockout punch over until the twen- ty-seeond round. They fought with small golves, and when it was ended both men were covered with blood, the sanded floor was drenched with blood and the seconds and referee looked as if they had attended to the killing of cattle for barbecue. Ban croft's jaw was broken.
 The butchers didn't mind the blood however-they are used to it, and be- sides it meant shekels for them.
 Greenwood was knocked down in the first round and the butchers be- gan to yell ''lemon!" "quince! "quitter!" just to stir him up. They succeeded for Greenwood in six of the remaining rounds foored his man, but couldn't put him away for keeps until the twenty-second. Bancroft had re- fused to shake hands with his oppo- nent before the battle, and he was re- minded of it by. Greenwood just a second before the put-away punch landed. The final wallop which broke Bancroft's jaw was a straight right on the point of the chin.
 The fight took place in a barn on a farm on Hunts Point Road, feeder for Southern Boulevard. About 400 men witnessed the encounter, reach ing the battle ground by cars board ed at 129th street and Third avenue. Arrangements for the match were made quietly, the tip being given to only those who knew how to keep mum.
 The Harlem butchers, as stated, strung their coin on Greenwood, who is we'll known as boxer, and he made good. His share of the gate receipts will keep him in clover for a few weeks anyhow. Greenwood weighed about 140 pounds and his opponent about 145.
 Bancroft's showing made many admirers for him, and when he goes into the ring again he will carry some wise coin. There is talk of matching him again with Greenwood.

KELLY COUNTED OUT.

London, Oct 9.-Spike Robson and Young Kelly of Boston fought Mon day night at Newcastle-on-Tyne for the featherweight championship of England.
 The battle only lasted three rounds and was of the farce order, Kelly evidently hot trying.
 In the third round Kelly went to his knees from light tap on the jaw, and remained down until count ed out. The referee accused Kelly Of faking, and Robson of not trying. He finally declared Robson the win ner. He had first decided it was no contest, but there was such an uproar over this decision that he changed it. The men fought for S75O purse.
