An alleged fraudulent land-title
scheme of gigantic proportions has been I'M
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 4,00o, 900 to 6,OOO, 900 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.
1t 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 made application 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 BUSH
ness seems so have been conducted in q
fraudulent manner. Some of those original
ly implicated are dead. A great deal Of the
land has passed through a number of hands
and is now held by innocent parties, who do
not suspect that their titles are clouded.

MORE TROUBLE FOR NIX. HAU0.
SecretorS Frazer OF the BOnrsl OF
Health Fires Him Down Stairs.

Clement Haug, the man who was
fined iast Saturday evening by the
Mayor for violation of the new o.
ulnance met with an experience of a
different nature yesterday at the hands
of the Secretary of the Board of Health.
About two weeks ago when the yellow
flag was first posted at his house he call
ed upon the secretary and in an iaSclent
manner, stated that he had Calkd to
pay for the flag, that he did rot want it
for nothing, that he was fully able to
pay for 1t and made use of other words
to The same effect. Esquire Frazer had
some difficulty in getting rid of the
man at that time, but finally induced
him to 60 home.
Yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock,as the Secretary was busiy en-
ployed in his office he heard heavy
tootstep ascending the stairs and in a
short tire the portly frame of Mr..
tlaug filled the door way. Advancing
towards the desk he informed Esquire
Frazer that he wanted to see the Board
of Health. He was politely informed
that the Board would not meet until
evening, at which time he could have
an opportunity of seeing all the MEM
bers and stating his grievances. This
seemed to offend him and he commence
ed gesticulating and acting in violent
and abusive manner. He told the Sec
retary that he had been fine because
he had the small pOx in his house, that
it had cost him over twenty six dollars
and he wanted his money back. Rails
ing his voice he almost shouted that he
intended to get it.
He was calmly informed that tbs
health officers had nothing to do with
tie matter. 1t was the mayor who had
imposed the fine, but nothing that the
Secretary could say had any effect on
the enraged man whose antics justified
the belief that he was fit subject
f'r a lunatic asylum. He insulted Sec
retary Frazer grossly and accused him
of having been the cause of his having
the disease in his house. The gentle
mar did not resent his insults but en-
deavOred to talk him into a more reas-
enable mood, but it was like casting
pearls before swine, it was all in vain,
all that was said only seemed TO exas-
perate him the more until at last the
Secretary's forbearance ceased to be a
virtue and he ordered him TO go out;
and upon his refusing to go threatened
to cal a police officer and have him re-
moved. This only served to add fuel to
the tame and caused Haug to threaten
to heave the secretary out Of the win
dow
Finding that he could not get rid of
him any other way the official took
hold of him to put him ont and then
the fun began; they struggled in the
narrow landing until finally the secre-
tary getting a. good hold threw him
down stairs head first. Mr.. Haug lay
in an insensible condition at the foot of
the stairs and was picked up and con-
veyed to the hall and DR.. Springer sum
moned; he found q long but not deep
cash on his head that he sewei up and
in a short time Clement gjt up and
walked to his home. He still VOWS
vengeance on the officer who had him
arrested and fined.
