decreased and TIE cancer became less end

Indictment of Wealthy Californians for
Timber Land Frauds on the



SAN FRANcrsco, April f.-The United
States grand jury yesterday found indict-
ments against eight prominent citizens of
this State for subornation of perjury in
the case of fraudulent entries of redwood
timber land in Humboldt County, Cal.
The names of three are Jos.
Russ, David Evans and Charles H. King,
who collectively represent 50, ,000, 900 capital.
The names of the other FIVE are not vet
known. but they are said to he all wealthy
men. The Land Department at Washing
ton had reason to suspect irregularities in
the entry of these lands, and sent out
Special Agent B, r. Bergen, of the Interior
Department, TO investigate the matter.
The result Of Mr., Bergen's investigation
shows that the parties indicted are all nem-
bers of the California Redwood Company,
capital for which was mainly subscribed
in Scotland. The indicted parties procured
about six hundred American citizens take
up 100 acres of land each, for which each
received fifty dollars. The entries were, in
all cases. Immediately conveyed to David
California Redwood Company afterwards
sent an agent TO Scotland to form syn
dicate and sell the lands. The syndicate
paid the California Redwood Company so
an acre for the land which, as shown.
the latter had frauduently .purcbased
an acre. Mr.. Bergen has passed
three months in Humboldt County working
up the case, and notwithstanding the num-
erous difficulties thrown in his way, has
secured testimony from over one hundred
persons who accepted the bribe, Suit will
be instituted by the Government to set
aside all these entries as well as the patents,
which have already been issued. The land
embraces 5000 acres of the best redwood
timber land on the coast,

LIGHTNING JUSTICE.
An EnibeEzlor Gets Into the Penitentiary
In Foriy-Eight Hours From Canada.


CHioAeo, April speedy justice was
meted out to Charles Stephens in Judge
Collins Court this morning. Stephens is
an old man, who for fifteen years was in
the employ OF the Wilmington & ver-
million Coal Company, of this city. Fifteen
months ago he absconded, and investiga-
ton showed that he had embeazled S2l, 600
from the company. All efforts to capture
the fugitive were fruitless, and it was be-
lieved be had gone to Canada. This theory
proved correct for last Tuesday the COM
pany he had robbed received letter from
him dated in Canada, saying that he was
penniless and alone, and rather than re-
main another year in Canada he desired to
return, plead guilty TO his crime and re-
ceive his punishment. He announced his
intention of starting at once for the United
States. The company sent two Pinkerton
detectives TO Detroit to meet him. On
"Wednesday they arrested him; on Thurs
day he was brought TO this city and in
dicted by the grand jury; this morning he
pleaded guilty before Judge Collins and
was sentenced to three years imprison-
ment in Joliet, and this afternoon he was
taken TO the penitentiary.

Strange Accident with Loss of Life On the
Pacidc Coast.

SAN Francisco, April 2,-The schooner j.
H. congdon was wrecked off Point Reyes,
forty miles north of here, Wednesday,.
Her crew was lost. The coast there is of a
dangerous character. The supposition was
that the vessel had struck a hidden rock.
An examination of the wreck showed that
the schooner had been struck amidships
ind cut almost in two, evidently by a
steamer or other craft going at high rate
of speed. The discovery has caused much
excitement in marine circles, as it is feared
the unknown vessel which sunk the
schooner has gone to the bottom with all
on board, The wreck occurred before day
light The case furnishes a strange paral-
lei 10 the loss of the Oregon. The Aquina
is supposed to have been the vessel in col
