CIRCUIT COURT DRAGS
INTO LONG SESSION

The term Of the circuit court now in
session will probably be one of the
longest ever held here. The usual
time taken to disposing of local legal
conflicts rarely ever last over the
week. However, the court has yet as
only disposed of two civil suits. In the
case of Amos Underwood, of Under
wood, Wash. VS.. the First National
Bank, the jury yesterday morning re-
turned a verdict in favor of the bank.
The plaintiff was suing the bank to
recover the sum of $1,000, alleging that
the defendant bank had paid to l.. J.
Stuart, his nephew by marriage. on a
certificate of deposit to which Stuart
had forged the Plaintiffs name IN en-
dorsement. However, the bank set up
as defense that Mr.. Stuart was in the
habit of transacting such business for
Mr.. Underwood and that the signature
was in fact his own. The greater part
of the courts time Tuesday was taken
up with listening to testimony given
by experts on hand writing. The
plaintiff was represented by Attorneys
f. H. Hartwig and j. f. 0'Bryan, the
latter of Portland. Stearns & Derby
conducted the case tor the defendant.
bank.
The next case coming before the
court was that of Hall VS.. McCan. in
which E. O. Hall, the contractor, sues
for money due for the construction of
buildings for Captain McCan. The de-
fendant, however, sets up the counter
claim that the plaintiff did not proper
ly construct the buildings and that he
was greatly damaged by the collapse
of the Tip Top garage at about this
time last year. The case recalls the
heavy snowfall of the first of Januar!
of last year. This case consumed al
of yesterday. Attorneys for Capt
Mclean were W. II. Wilson, of Tn,
Dalles, and Geo. K. Wilbur, of thi'
city. MIR. Hall was represented BY
Ernest C. Smith and H. S. Wilson, the
latter of Portland.
The next case on the docket is that
of the 0..W. R, 4 N. Co. vs. F. H.
Button, condemnation proceedings ir
which the railroad company is seeking
to secure a right of way across bottom
land belonging to the defendant.

will be heard that of the Columbia Sc
curites Co. VS.. Baker and Ross, the
| plaintiff company endeavoring to Sc
cure the property on the grounds OF
