EARNHART SECURES
DISPUTED ISLAND
LONG LEGAL RATTLE
GIVES HIM VICTORY
Court of Appeals in San Francisco
Decides That Beavert Island in
Columbia River Belongs to Local
Man-Switzler Other Contender
for Title.

After a legal battle in the state and
federal courts Of many months dur
alton, Frank E. Earnhart of this city
has finally won out and been declar-

land in the Columbia river. He has
therefore been released from the
charge of contempt which had been
preferred against him because he oc-
cupied the island after the federal
court for the district of Oregon had
ordered him off. holding that John B.
Switzler, the pioneer resident of Uma-
tilla was the rightful owner.
Switzler purchased the island some
10 years ago, it being unsurveyed land
belonging to the public domain, but
soon after establishing a home there
on as a squatter, Switzler released the
property and then removed to Port
land.
Earnhart ascertained the condition
of affairs and entered upon the island
which is located in this county, and
took possession as a squatter. Switz-
Ter brought custer proceedings in the
United States court, alleging conspi-

favor of Switzler and the case was
appealed.
While the appeal was pending
Earnhart entered upon the land
again, and was arrested for violation
of the court order.
In the meantime the Court of Ap.
peals at San Francisco had the case
under advisement and Wednesday sem
down a mandate directing that judg
ment be entered in favor of Earn

Appeals is based on the law that {
