VIM. r Marshall has never made any
charge against any Of the Iron company's
claims or one of their men. They have
been allowed TO put their claims through,
and L have reason to believe that Marshall
has assisted them, and is still assisting
them. and that is the universal opinion at
Duluth where their operations are best
known. If he is anxious to break up these
frauds. why docs he not attack the Iron
company? Is it the little office of land
commissioner of their railroad that with
holds the thuaderbolts Of this saint-like
and incorruptible public servant? Or is
it the little 1000 he has borrowed, and
never returned? I have no ill-will toward
that company. l am glad they have finally
secured the patents on their
pre-smPted lands, but I would be
pleased to know just how it was
done and why it is that poor men are
punished for the same things they are pro-
tected il doing by this pure and patriotic
public servant.
TOWNSHIP 62, RANGE "a, ST. CLOUD LAND
OISIklCI.
This fine pine land township on ths wa
ters flowing into the Rainy Lake river was
surveyed by Richard Cronk, and the
notes returned to the surveyor generals
Office May 8, 1882. The plat was suspen-
ded with all other pine land plats by order
OF the commissioner of the general land Of
fee in September, 1882. The parties in inter
q, WI, nor hr.iJ ,,oy &l,a
ter sections were very DESTROYS of
getting an order from the
commissioner to have that plat sent to the
local office at ST. Cloud SO they could have
their men prove up.
WENTWORTH & MCGUIRE.
OF Duluth made bargain to
sell the lands to certain gentlemen in St.
Paul, to-wit: W. j. Macaulay, Dennis
Ryan and Matthew Cullen, for large
sum of money as soon as they could get
the plat returned and their entries allowed,
and those gentlemen were interested to
have the plat hurried up to the st. Cloud
Office.
For that purpose last winter at the re-
quest of interested parties VIM, R. Mar
shall made trip Up to the town in ques-
ton with Mr.. Wentworth and examined
the Improvements On the claims, etc. 1t
was perfectly evident that there were nc
bona fde settlers there. There were mec
engaged in numbering in that region, and
there were few rude shenties on some
Of the claims. Nevertheless m.R.Marshali
msdo such special report on the case to
the commissioner that the plat was imme-
dietely ord cred sent in, and it was re-
tr,rr, ri 70 fEo nd EoE
| ruary 1888 by special order. In April,
when Wentworth & McGuires' men came
out of the woods, they proceeded to the ST.
Cloud land Office ana proved up ard en-

THI9rY-oNE PRE- ENPrIoN AND COMMITTED
HOMESTEAD CLAIMS,
embracing 1850 acres of very valuable
pine land, every one of which claims vas
2 patent fraud. Wm. +. Marshall made no
appearance against these men, aud in 10
way or manner opposed their proofs. Hot
one Of the parties in interest, and no: one
of their men have ever been arrested CT
molested on account Of these entries:
although the men Immediately upon
making their proofs and entries conveyea
the lands to Macaulay, Ryan & Cullen, and
the deeds are OF record in the Office OF the
register of deeds at Brainerd. L have an
abstract of the entries, names of claimants
ETC., and of the deeds IL question.
The parties in interest are now pushing
their patents through at Washington. [
have no lll-will towards these gentlemen
and do not wish to put them to any
trouble, bat what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gauder, and if Marshall
is tha5 meek aud lowly public benefactor
he represents himself to be, why does he
not expose this matter and call bis friends
to account before the grand jury There
is one, to me, obvious reason, and that is
because none of these gentlemen are ap-
plicants for the position in the Duluth
land Office which his pet appointee. w. w.
Spalding, now holds till R. G. Mitchell is
cleared from the charges made against
him by our pure and patriotic ex-gov-
ernor.
Mr.. Editor, have made only fair be-
ginning in my public confession.
There are many other facts hid
in the pigeon holes of my
desk and memory of which my conscience
will in due time compel ne TO make a fall
disclosure. I have already occupied too
much space, and will close my confession
by appealing to my meek and iowly prose-
cutor for mercy OF my poor friends, Mac
auly, Ryan and Cullen and also the officers
and stockholders of the Minnesota Iron
Company; and to them would say in the
lowly language Of our new man of Nazar-
eth: "Thera IS an equal opportunity for
all parties to come forward and avail
haE Sclx Cf 3b.a Ion Of hn
ment." Come forward, rny dear friends,
to the bench Of the penitents ere it Is for
ever too late, and do, pray you, bring
with you our clearly beloved brother VIM.
r. Marshall, that your cries for mercy may
be sanctified and seconded by him, as mere
tofore, when you appealed nobin vain with
his timely aid.
