WATTS SUES STONE
Alleges Teaching Reputation Is Dam
aged and Files Suit for
$4,000. Damages.

Homer |. Watts, former principal OF
the Athena public school has filed suit
in the circuit court against Jerry
Stone, chairman of the school board
for 81, 900 damages.
In the complaint, which was filed
by Watts MIN self, it is set forth that
the plaintiff holds life teachers
diploma and is duly admitted to prac-
tioe law in this state.
Jerry Stone is characterized as q
IMAM much believed and relied upon
by people of the county as a truthgiver
and as protector of the good morals
of the oommunity--a man of wealth
and of influence which is felt beyond
this state.
The particular offense charged
against him is that on December l.,
1907. while Watts was serving as
principal of the Athena schools, be,
Stone, caused to be published and cir
culated a slanderous. scandalous and
libelous story concerning the plaintiff.
In effect this story was that Watts bad
dlsregarded the instructions of the
Athena school board; that he had also
used profane language on the streets
of Athena. and had nalled pupils by
various offensive names.
Because of this alleged liEel the
plaintiff complains that ''on or atout
the first of May 1908 he was rendered
professional position which said
position would have paid plaintiff six
teen hundred dollars per year but on
account of said charges of insubord-
ination in said libelous matter made
by said defendant coming to the
knowledge of the prospective employ.
ers said employers dropped the plain
tiff solely upon these grounds, believ,
ing the charges made by defendant to
be true, and said employers specifically
stated that the question of insuboI din,
alton raised by said defendant was the
sole basis for not employing paintif.
Plaintiff has since tried to secure other
positions but has been unable to do so.
And for his special cause of action
plaintiff prays Judgment in the sum oi
sixteen hundred dollars, the damages
done plaintiff i'll this special cause. =
He then asks for the sum of $4,000 il
addition because he alleges that th'
defendant acted against him for th'
purpose of annoying and injuring him

SUIT OVER LEASES
Marion Jack Prevents Perringer Cut
ting Grain By Securing
an Injunction.

Reserv ton land leasing is to be
aired through suit filed by Marion
Jack against Roy Perringer. The court
has issued restraining order which
prevents Perringer from harvesting a
crop of wheat on land which Jack
claims to have leased. The East Ore
gonian says of the case:
Can George Perringer rent more
than $40 acres of reservation land
when the government forbids others
from doing so?
Has the government the right to di-
rect that Roy Perringer may harvest
wheat crop on Indian land that has
been leased to Marion Jack?
These are questions that are raised
In suit that was filed here late Mon
day afternoon in which the title is
Marion Jack versus A. E. McFatridge,
I U. S. Indian agent. and Roy v, Per-
ringer. In the complaint, which was
fled by Attorneys Raley. Richards &
Raley, the court was asked to issue an
order restraining the Perringers from
harvesting the crop involved and the
injunction was granted.
On the face of it the suit just
brought does not seem of great impor-
tance for it pertains merely to crop
on 100 acres of land and it is valued
at but $4,000. But back of the COM
plant lies another story that is one of
intense interest to parties having bust
ness on the reservation. This interest
is heightened by the fact that some big
characters, among them the honorable
secretary of the interior, figure ir the
story.
In the case filed, Marion Jack sets
forth that he had legally leased 100
acres of land on the reservation. pay
ing $3 per acre therefor last fall. But
despite the-fact that he held lease he
asserts that the government, through
Agent MoFatridge hut recently notified
him that Roy V. Perringer might go
| upon the land for the purpose of har-
vesting the growing crop thereon.
This seeming Inconsistency en- the
part of the government is explained as
follows: Major McFatridge regularly
approved the lease to Marion Jack who
had offered greater price for the land
than had Perringer. But in an effort
to override the agent Perringer is said
to have enlisted the support of Presi-
dent Penrose of Whitman college, who
was classmate of Secretary Garfield.
According to reports President Penrose
importuned the secretary and doubtless
with the best of motives, to direct that
the land be given to Roy V. Perringer,
G..o was student at Whitman.
While full particulars are lacking,
it is apparent that the influence of his
former classmate had effect with the
popular secretary, for the order favor

TAYLOR BRINGS DAMAGE SUIT
Sues Isabel Taylor, John Bannister
and r. ]. Boldly for $50, 900.

Moses Taylor has employed Raley.
Richards & Raley and entered suit for
$4,000 damages against his former
wife Isabel Taylor, John Bannister
and R. J. Boldly. The suit is the re-
suit of Taylor's conviction on. the
charge of arson.
He alleges that for the purpose of
injuring him John Bannister, Isabel
Taylor, his former wife, and II. j.
Boldly, conspired to lay the plot at
his door. In carrying out their scheme
he alleges they induced MoGrath and
Palmer TO take part aud later to testify
against him to bis conviction.
As result of their alleged actions
Taylor holds that he is entitled to
500, 900 damages for the personal in
jury which be sustained and also for
$4,000 actual damages incurred as a
result Of his prosecution.

ing Perringer was forthcoming.
But the visit of Secretary Garfield
is said to have altered that gentle
mans mind concerning affairs aud he
is said to have suggested that Per-
ringer and Jack settle their differences
by compromise.
Monday afternoon the parties in the
case were busy with their "comprom-
Use" when word was received by Jack
that Perringer com bine had entered
the field involved to cut the crop.
Apparently coup d'etat had been
planned.
But the other side was ready fol the
emergency.
Young Perringer says: lone Of the
alleged questions involved in the law
suit just started, as stated by the op-
position, is can Geo. Perringer rent
more than $40 acres of land upon the
reseI vation?'
"Suoh question has nothing what
ever to do with this suit. The only
question is, Has the secretary of the
interior authority to modify lease
made between Indian lessons and their
lessees?'
'"The secretary, after carefully
considering the whole case in con-
junction with his first assistant, Mr..
Pierce. an able lawyer from Salt Lake
city, decided that l was entitled to
some equitable consideration and after
conference between the secretary,
Mr.. Wilson. it was decided TO modify
the approval of the three leases cover
ing the crops growing upon the lands
which had sowed.
1.-TWO of the leases had already
been approved but the other had net

Tonight at the local rink Lancast-

contest will undoubtedly be the re-
suit. The Lancaster franchise will
be transferred to Urichsville and in
the future the team will play it's
games In that place.
At Lancaster little interest was taxi
en- in the game and as excellent in
ducements were offered at the smaller
place, Manager Frank Wilson decided
to transfer his team.
At the present time Canton, of the

ious to secure the Marion franchise

fancy price for it. Quinn believes that
Marion wants polo and has thus far
refused to sell or to transfer his

tive title OF one of the latest of
the seasons New York successes
and which, with large company of
well known players will furnish
the attraction at the Grand Opera

According to the reports which
have been printed about "The
Choir Singer" 1t contains many new
and exceedingly attractive features
not found in other comedy dramas !.
An especially popular element in the
piay in question Is the large lum-
ber of songs of varied character,
including those of sacred, semi
classical and popular sort which,
rendered by singers possessed of
highly trained voices, insure a treat
for lovers of music. The story is
said to be full of heart interest

look like five pounds when the
Knights got through with him.
The social was in charge of Harry

their efforts that 1t resulted In
great success.
