Brothers and their receipt, agreeing to
pass on the bonds and then turn them
over to the First National Bank OF
Denver to be at the disposal of the
Malheur county court, was accepted.
March l the bonds were put up for
sale. Keller Brothers appeared and
bid the sum of s30.750.00 as they
agreed. But Hall & Lewis of Port
land represented by r. M. Small, ap-
peared and bid the sum Of $31 $1,000.
This being the largest bid, it was ac-
cepted, and the Denver bank was wired
instructions to deliver the bonds to
Hall & Lewis. But the Denver bank
wired back saying they knew nothing
Of the bonds and that they had not
been deliverd to them. The wires
were kept hot for a while in an at
tempt to locate the bonds, and it was
finally discovered that Keller Broth
ers had already sold the bonds to q
third person.
Judge Geo. f. Davis of Vale was
sent to Denver last week to attempt
to straighten out the tangle. He is
expected home today. but messages
received from him indicate that the
firm of Keller Bros. do not intend to
give up possession of the bonds with
out fight. just what action will be
taken in order to recover is not yet
known and will probably not be de-
cided upon until Judge Davis returns.
In the meantime the Portland firm
has placed in escrow in the Vale bank
the amount Of its bid. They agree to
allow this money to remain there until
April LIST, and give the county that
length of time to deliver the bonds.
The Portland firm is very fair in the
matter, and hopes that the county viii
be able to deliver the bonds without
any serious trouble and without much
additional expense.
