SOON PLAY TENNIS
At THE Y. N. c. A.
DIRECTOR APPLEGATE NOTIFIES
MEMBERS THAT CLUB WILL
BE FORMED.

Notice was this morning posted by
Physical Director F. d. Applegate of
the Y. Nj. c. A. of the forming Of a
tennis club. The weather is now open
ing up so as to permit the working OF
the tennis grounds and as soon as they
can be put in shape, the game will be
started among the association MEM
bers
Owing to the limited grounds avail
able for this purpose. it is probable
that only one court will be constructed.
This will be made the best anywhere in
the city and will be kept in good shape
for playing throughout the season.
The object of forming the club is to
regulate the grounds and keep them in
repair. AS there will be but one court
and probably many players. it will be
necessary to make some ground rules.
These will be left entirely with the
tennis club. which will have charge of
the court after its completion. How
ever, if the interest in the game proves
great enough. there will be an effort
made to get ground for an additional
court.
There are many players among the
members of the Y NJ. G.. \. and it is
hoped that there will be many inter
esting tournaments held on the court
this summer

RE|NHOLD HARRIS
IN THE L|MEL|GH7
CHARGED WITH OBTAINING
FRAUDULENT LEASE TO VAL
UABlE UMATiLLA LAND.

Claiming that Reinhold Harris got
him drunk and freudulently secured
900 ranch, Desire ST. Dennis has
brought a suit in equity to have the
alleged contract annulled and Harras
restrained from entering upon the
premises. says the Pendleton East
Oregonian.
The complaint in the above case,
which was filed today by Peterson &
Wilson, contains some torrid state
ments regarding the former Pendietoil
butcher.
According to the plaintiff VINO
OWES the Jerry ST. Dennis ranch of
GAG acres upon the Umatilla reserva-
ton. he is man addicted to drink
Ing intoxicating liquors and when
drunk is unfit to transact business and
lis subject TO the willy and insiduous
influences of designing and fraudulent
characters who have sought to mislead
|him and take undue advantage of him,
Ito his irreparable injury"
Continuing the complaint declares
that Harras is a designing and
fraudulent character and that about
February 1, 1908. he began to asso-
ciate with the plaintiff and to en-
courage him in his habits of drinking.
In doing SO he would buy liquor for the
1plaintiff from the saloons of Athena,
Adams, Walla Walla and Pendleton.
Trick Turned Here.
On February "a. so the plaintiff al
leges, he was taken to Walla Walla by
the defendant and while in drunken
|condition was "fraudulently and wick
ledly" induced to sign what purports to
be 10-year lease upon his ranch. The
witnesses to the signature were D. G.
Mcintyre and Oscar Cain.
About March 13 the plaintiff came to
himself and when he ascertained that
he had signed a lease he notified Har-
ras that he would not abide by the
same and ordered him to stay away
trCm the place. Instead of complying
Harras is said to have gone to the
place, forcibly elected St Dennis from
the same and threatened to kill him if
rs did not comply with the lease
which it was claimed he had signed.
The suit brought by st. Dennis is
an action ir equity and Judge Bean is
asked to set aside and annul the lease
given to Harras and that the defend
ant be required to pay the cost and
disbursements of the suit.
According to the statement of the
plain he never had any intentions
of leasing his place to Harras AMI
only did SO through the fact that he
vas imposed upon while drunk
