Taxes Are Accumulating and Property
May Be Sold Unless Something

Fearing that the property of the
former Hannah CASTOR, who died in
December, 1886, and which property
was willed to her husband, John for
a life interest, may be sold as the
result of accommodating taxes, which
now amount to $500, a petition was
filed in the superior court this after
noon by Margaret Price asking that
D. P Hays be appointed as admins
traitor. Since the death Of John
Manion. who died in 1904, the estate
has had no administrator, and affairs
have not been conducted in proper
manner.
The property which is specified in
the petition, consists Of lots and 10
of block 10, of the city of Walla WAL
la, and is valued at about $1,000, the
yearly rental being $780, Having paid
no taxes for several years, it is feared
that the property will be sold in order
to pay them and for this reason, the
petition was filed.

lie lands in Harvey county, Oregon. r.
A. Smith. and Charles Wells, sheep
raisers of eastern oregon, testified for
the government. The government lands
enclosed by the Hanley fence were
not easy of access under present con-
ditions. They grazed sheep outside.

office at Burns, Oregon, shower how
the original purchaser, Peter French,
bought series of forty acre tracts

Wisconsin, a witness for the defense,
was introduced out of turn as it was
found it was necessary for him to re-
turn to his family. Sherman testified
that during 1907 he had planned to
bring a colony of Scandinavlans to
eastern Oregon and had considered To-
cation on the lands now in dispute.
After looking over the country and
noting the absence of transportation
facilities, he abandoned the project.
He stated that his view of the lands
gave him the impression that fences
in many places were not in good re-
pair.
H. A Hunter, one of the purchasers
of the Oregon Central land grant.
from Minneapolis, stated in behalf of
the defense that he also was introduced
out of turn. He came to Harvey coun-
ty a year ago with the intention OF
purchasing the Hanley holdings, but
gave up his intention after viewing the
property.
