Judgment in Land Contests At La Grande Involving Judge Bean
In La Grande the land office hears a case accusing Judge H J Ruan of obtaining a contract from the Hinkle Ditch Co and using it to prove up a desert land claim on Butter Creek. Government witnesses say the 90 year water contract was signed by the ditch company in 1904 but not by the judge for a year. Bean’s defense asserts illegality and lack of knowledge that the prior contract was destroyed. A jurist’s defense by Attorney Winter is noted along with a public benefit band fundraiser in Athena featuring an impersonator and motion pictures. Admission Saturday night is 25 cents adults and 15 cents children under 10.
