Morning Oregonian August 6, 1904
Judge George gave a judgement order in the case where Rothchild Brothers sued 
B.F. Shambrook to recover $1441, directing that the proprty of the defendant, 
who is not now a resident of this state, be attached and the proceeds of the 
sale applied to pay the debts.

Attorney J.C.Moreland filed an answer yesterday in the Circuit Court in the 
suit brought by Orville Jennings to strike out certain parts of the reply made 
by the plaintiff. Mr. Morland denies that he manufactured evidence for his 
client after the suit was filed.

Twenty three years ago Mrs. L.M.F. Benedict and her husband, L.W. Benedict, 
were married. Yesterday she entered a suit for divorce against him in the 
Circuit Court, alleging cruel treatment. The couple have several children, but 
the only one underage is Wesley Harrison Benedict, of whom the mother asks 
custody.

A wordy dispute as to the title of lots 1 and 2 of Block B an dlots 2,3,4,5 
and 6 of Block C in Martin's Addition occurs in a complaint field yesterday in 
the Circuit Court by Bertha M. Hosford against Multnomah County. The charge is 
made that the county illegally demanded payment of taxes on the property and 
tried to sell it on several occasions. An order is now asked to enjoin the 
defendant from selling the property for taxes during the pendency of the 
action.

An injunction is asked to restrain the Sheriff of Multnomah County from 
selling lost 2 and 3 in block 2 of Portland Homestead in a complaint filed 
yesterday in the Circuit Court by the Portland Trust Company of Oregon. The 
latter asserts it is the owner in fee simple of the property in virtue of a 
mortgage executed in its favor in August,1892, by the then owners, Maria dos 
Reis Habersham and her husband, to secure a lone of $7,000 advanced by the 
plaintiff. The property was afterwards sold, it is asserted, without 
sufficient publication, by the county for non payment of taxes.
