Gigantic Lana Frauds.

ment are yet to be exposed and will create
a profound sensation when brought to
light. says a Washington special of the
Denver Times. These Irregularities are
in the public land districts throughout the
west. and have been perpetrated by thous-
ands of people in a small way, the aggre-
gate reaching away up to tens of thousands
of acres of the public domain obtained
fruudulently from the government. In
some instances the government officers
at the land Office will be implicated in the
frauds and several removals have been
made, to be followed by Investigations.
Certain registers of the land office who
have "winked' atthe fraduluently entries,
each wink" in such cases being valued
at no small sum in hard cash. All these
entries which have been fraudulently
made will be held for cancellation and the
crooked entrymen will be arrested when
ever found. 1t is strange that many
hitherto reputable men throughout the
far west will conspire deliberately to de-
fraud the United States out of IG0-acre
farms, while crooked people Of all de-
scriptions art constantly lowering over
the public lands like vultures. Land
officers are supposed to keep up a con
slant struggle to prevent fraud, but not
withstanding this alleged surveillance, the
government has lost upwards of half a
million acres, literally stolen from the pub
lie domain by the land sharpers.
Commissioner Sparks and Chief Clerk
Walker, of the general land office, com
menced Il few weeks ago a new system of
checking off the business of each local
land office. Instead of sending the in.
spector hither and thither to look after
isolated cases of fraud brought to the at
tention of the Office and having the time
of the inspectors FILTERED away in expen-
sive travel, these officials adopted a plan
which is now being carried out. The re-
suits are astounding.

tions last FRIDAY and nominated candi-
dates for councilmen, as follows:
First Ward, HerSchcl Beaslcy Second
Ward, J. X. Lcgit; Third Ward, Thos.
A. Ryan. No nomination was made in
the Fourth Ward, but 4 committee was
authorized to name 4 candidate. Each
Ward chose five delegates to con-
vention to be held the following night,
to nominate candidates for mayor and
councilman at large
Saturday night, the twenty delegates
held a secret session Of an hour and n
half in the cloak room of the court
room. The session was stormy and
one delegate left the room with wrath
written all over his countenauce, The
secret session nominated Henry KaSe,
ESQ, a Grccubacker, anda former Re-
publican for Mayor and Al Bryan, Esq.
for councilman at large. Then the
nineteen delegates filed out into tine
court room, where there was quite a
crowd Of Democrats, ,GrccnbackerS and
Republicans with here and there q
Mugwump present and went through
the farce Of nominating the candidate,
they had agreed upon with locked doors
between them and their constituents.
Mr.. Kasc having been informed o
his nomination. and having declined
for the reason that tine nomination wa
straight democratic and he was not
member OF that party, the twenty dele
gates again assembled in the cour
room, Monday night, and in secret ses
ton, nominated e. ID. Graham, 70
Mayor, and jim Buford for councilman
at large, having by some hocus pocu
gotten Al Bryan to withdraw from tn
ticket
The delegates came out OF the cloa
room and were passing ON out OF III
court room, when j. c. Mintecr al
nounccd that the"cXeeutiyc session ha
nominated G. d. Graham for Mayor
and j. l.. Buiord for councilman :

The crowd then dispersed in shol
order.
