AN alleged fraudulent ID land-title
scheme of gigantic proportions has been un-
earthed by United States Detective Tyrrell,
and number of arrests have been made of
parties said to be criminally implicated in
the swindle. Chief among these is Robert
L. Lindsay, st. Louis lawyer. Addison f.
Burns, an attorney and real estate agent,
and H. R. Mcclellan, a Notary, in Pittsburgh,
Pa. Orlando Van Hise and John X. Corwin,
attorneys and real estate agents, and George
Linn, all OF Cleveland, are also under arrest.
The land involved in these transactions lies
in Southeast Missouri, and comprises, It is
estimated, from ,000, 900 to 6,00O, GOO acres.
This land was owned by the Government,
and under the act of 1854 was opened up for
sale to actual settlers at few cents per acre.
It is now known that the Land Register at
Jackson entered these lands in the names of
persons who never appeared before him in
person parties who madeapp lication for land
did not settle on them as required by Law, and
made Deeds or other parties did in their name
before they were lawfully entitled to
them. Names were forged of parties who
never went near the lands. The whole bust
ness seems SO have been conducted i'm .
fraudulent manner. Some Of those original
" implicated are dead. A great deal Of the
land has passed through number Of hands
and II now held by innocent parties, who do
not suspect that their titles are clouded.

THE MURDER CASE.
The Fulton Homicide on Trial at the
Circuit Court.

Circuit Court.
b. The first case of murder that has been
before the Circuit Court of this county
for a long time came up yesterday morn
ing, being that OF the State vs.. Henry
Miller, at whose door is laid the death OF
John Hilton, OF Fulton. The circum-
stances, as they appeared at the time,
were about as follows: On Saturday.
Dec. 18th, Miller, Hilton, John Culver
and several other Fultonese, all miners,
met at q saloon on the national road
and fell into discussion over recent
strike in the mine. From the saloon
they got upon the pike and the discus
sion was renewed, ending in quarrel
in which Miller knocked Hilton down.
Friends interfered and prevented the
fuss from going further and apparently
a reconciliation took place.
Hilton went TO his home on the south
side of the road, and Miller stood near a
grocery on the opposite side. Presently
Hilton left home and went toward the
grocery; but keeping across the road.
When nearly opposite Miller he started
across the pike and tie men met again.
U: what happened, scarcely two wit.
nesses told the same story, and it re-
mains to be seen which narrative the
jury will believe. At this time, how.
every, suffice it to say, several shots
were fired, the pistol being in the hands,
first OF Hilton and last OF Miller, accord
ing to a preponderance OF the testimony.
Miller had probably knocked Hilton
down, and the latter fired, whereupon
Miller had gotten the revolver and fired
in turn. Miller was wounded al the
base OF the thumb, on one hand, and had
also wound on his left shoulder. Hill
ton had wound on the left cali, which
was slight, and q dangerous one in the
left breast.
He WAS taken to his home and medi.
cal all summoned. The wound was
probed. but the ball could not be found.
For eight days he fingered, and on De-
cember Goth died. The inquest was
held, and a verdict OF death at
the bands of Henry Miller. The latter
had at once given himself up, and WAS
released on $1,000 bond, given at the
office OF the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
The last grand jury found an indict.
ment of murder in the first degree, and
the case came on in the Circuit Court
yesterday. Mr.. Jordan, Of course, APP
peared for the State, and Messrs. Dove
ner, Frame and Marshall for the defense.
The following jury was impaneled:
Jacob Gilbert, G. l.. Davis, Ed. Rodgers,
R. X. Giffin, J. o. Golfer, Thomas Fee.
ney, James Flanagan. John Butter
field, Chris. Bashar, William Boles,
Charles Fisher aud John Rinehart.
The trial was begun early in the
morning, the defense taking two posi-.
tons: First, that the shooting was in
self.deiense; second, that Hilton's death
was largely due to improper treatment
after he was wounded. All the testimo-
ny was in by supper time, and when the
court adjourned at 9:3O o'clock Mr.. Jor-
dan had opened for the State and Mr.
Frame for the defense This morning
Messrs. Dovener aud Marshall will ar.
que and then Mr.. Jordan will close the
case,
