SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST BAILEY
Picard, Without Knowing 1t,
Deeds Valuable Farm TO the
Pendleton Attorney.

Attorney "Doug" Bailey of Pendle-
ton. recently mixed up in the st. Dem
MS case is the target of Julian Picard,
of Adams. who alleges that the Pen
dleton lawyer by fraud and misrep-
resentation has swin6led him out of
80 acres of land. Fl. I. Watts of this
city is Picard's attorney and unless
the land is turned over to the rightful
owner, he will institute suit to set
aside the deed which Bailey holds.
According to the East Oregonian,
Picard owned an allotment of eighty
acres of valuable wheat land two and
a half miles south of Adams. which
land is valued at $4,000. In Deoem-
bre 1908, he declares he was invited
to the law offices of Bailey & Perry
where he was asked to sign contract
giving them permission to sell the
land for 500 an acre, providing they
could secure patent to it from the
government. He signed paper which
he declares, was represented to him
as the contract but being illiterate and
unable to read he says be did not sus-
pect that the paper was otherwise.
The first knowledge Picard had that
be had decided his farm away came
the other day when be was seeking a
property settlement with his wife
from whom be recently separated.
Lawyers in the divorce case. Col. j. II.
Raley for Mrs. Picard and W. M. Pc
terson for Picard, found where the
deed had been executed on December
12. 1908. Then Peterson and his eli
ent began to investigate.
Peterson encountered Bailey on the
street. according to the formers state
ment. and advised him that a suit
would be instituted ir the United
States court to set aside the deed if lie
refused to transfer the land back to
Picard. This Bailey refused to do
unless Picard pay him the sum of
| $27. so which amount be alleged the
allotee owed him for loan of $40, SO
interest and $l.25 recording fees and
s. SO notary public fees. When asked
Why be had secured Picard's signature
to the deed. he declared he wanted il
as security for his loan of $40, hut
whsn reminded that 1t is customary
! to take mortgage in such Cransac
tions and that it was hardly just tt
secure decd to $4,000 worth of lant
for small loan, he curtly brought tn
conversation to close by remarkinl
that that was 'his business. Pet
erson has turned the case over to At
torney Watts of this city.

The future of this machine is now

A new factory building 40x400 feet is

THE BIG ROUNDUP
PLEASES CROWDS
LeGrow's String, Kelley Up,
Won Relay Race--Other At
fractions Were Superb.

The Roundup was attended by large
numbers of Athena people, and the
verdict is that it was a coed show,
given in detail as advertised. The
management successfully entertained
and gave accommodations to the en-
ormous crowds that attended the ex-
hiEition.
The train service from this part of
the county was the best that the O-W.
R. g. N. ever afforded to patrons and
was due to the individual efforts Of
"Bob" Burns who gave his personal
attention in directing the service.
It is estimated that 100000 was
spent in Pendleton last week during
the fair and Roundup. The Roundup
receipts amounted to $4,000. The
program, carried out strictly to the
letter, was all that could be desired.
The faithful portrayal Of Western
range life in the arena at Roundup
Park called for the services of men
of daring and animals Of vicious tenn
permanent, and these two elements
were not lacking in the different
events. There were plenty of both,
and then some to spare. The riding
was superb and equaled if not sur
passed that of the famous Cheyenne
frontier show. To John Spain Of
Union county went the championship
of the Northwest in this event, though
he was cleverly pushed Tor the title by
the negro. Fletcher, whose admiring
friends still oontended that the prize
should have been awarded to their
dusky hero.
In the races. the relay event was
the most popular. Three strings were
entered. and Fay LeGrow's bunch
with Roy Kelly as rider, won to the
delight of Athena people. Jink's Tay-
lor's mule team and stage coach at
traoted much attention, while the
mess wagon was literally patronized
py the cow punohers, who were al
ways welcome at grub time. Hugh
Taylor and Braden Gerking partici-
pated in the buoking contests hut did
not qualify for the prizes.

FARMS AS A REFUGE FOR GAME
Owners of Farm Lands Can Have Pre-
serves Made of Them.

There is law in the state Of Ore
gon which may be made to serve a
wonderfully valuable purpose If its
provisions were more widely known.
The recent agitation requesting the
governor to suspend the hunting season
to the end that the damage from forest
fires might te miuimized calls atten-
tion to the above mentioned prov ision.
1t is one of the privileges Of the state
game wardeL to make private con.
tracts with property owners setting
aside their land as game reserva tlons.
When once this is done it is unlawful
for any one to hunt game birds and
game cnimals on the land so set aside
An impression has prevailed that
private owners would suffer some in
con venienoe we're they to take ad-
vantage of this act. On the contrary
there is no expense involved on the
part of the owner. nor is the land
withdrawn from any useful purpose.
1t is merely contracted between the
owner and the state game warden that
the land described shall be regarded
as a private reserve upon which nc
hunting either by outsiders or th'
owner himself shall be lawful. Th'

There are millions of acres of tim
