 CORK, Sept. 5.-Frisby, the Portland, Oregon, defaulter arrested here, has made a confession. He says that his brother some time ago persuaded him to invest in Montana mine. He was then in the hosiery business in this clty. He went to Montana and was made presl- dent of 8 mining company. Mining did not pay and he went to Portland.

He regularly abstracted some portion of the contents of packages of bills from station agents and con- tractors which passed through his hands. He continued stealing, aud when he found that he had taken more than he could repay he ran away with what was left. He went with his family to San Francisco on a sailing vessel and then took passage on the Pacific Mail line for this city.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 5.-Law Clerk St. John of the General Land Of- fee, who was detailed to investigate fraudulent entries in southeastern Colo rado, reports he found a number of fraudulent entries north of Trinidad, Colorado. In Las Animas county, Col orado, Mir. St. John says that he found at least 100000 acres of land fenced in with barbed wire. These cases have al ready been reported to the department. Hall < Barrilla have thus inclosed an area of about ten miles square, and Thompson, another cattleman, has in- closed tract six by ten miles in extent. Great hardship to settlers and delay m traffic and mail transportation results from these unlawful inclosures of the public domain. The penalty inflicted by stockmen upon persons who dare to cut these fences or leave the gates open is death, and upon many such fences are to be found signs reading, Gut this fence and buy your coffin" The herd CTS are usually Mexcans of the lowest class, and a person who ventures to transgress the rule and cut the fences is shot down by one of them, and detec- tion of the assassin IS almost impossible.
