HOW msny Thousand Acres of the Fine st
Timber Land In tho World Was
Catered Upon.

NEW YORK, Jan. IL The Herald this
morning printed three-column letter
from Eureka, Cal, in regard to q gIgan-
tie timber land steal. The correspondent
states that foreign syndicate is operat-
log IN the redwood district, of which
Eureka is the center, and that it has al
ready gobbled up "a, 900 scres of the finest
redwood forests in the world. The cor
respondent says: "Of all the numerous
robberies of the government of the Uni
ted States which have disgrsced the west
ern and Pacific slope states during the
past two decades, no one has possessed
the monumental earmarks of unblushing
fraud to more startliDg degree tnsn the
one about to be related. For rugged PIC
turesqueness OF roguery the California
Redwood Company's robbery is unique. :"
He then goes on TO tell how the California
Redwood Company was organized In
Edinburgh in 1888 The directors were
Sir George Warrender, Bart; E d. /.
Blythe. E:q Edinburgh; Thomas Nelson,
Esq Edln burgh; Patrick Sterling, + q =,
Kippendavie; Wiliem John Merzes,
Edinburgh. and IL. Bruce Johnston, Eiiu-
burgh. These gentlemen, who supplied
or controlled the capital, had power to
add to their number six other dire ctors,
according to discretion. james D..
Walker, the Englishman of San Francisco,
was chosen president; Charles II. King,
San Francisco, and David Evans, Eureka,
were mace general msnsgers. number
OF notorious laUd shsrks were hired by
the company and sent to Eureka, and
they soon had plans perfected for great
fraud. The headquarters of the gang was
in the back room Of the tough gunsnop ct
Gordon Barnum, G local sport, whose
establishment was the resort for the roue j
floating population of the Pacific SLOPE
seaport. Three blocks away from Bar
NUNS ssloon was located the UnfAe
States land Office. The area Of sfaffs
sought by the conspirators was so Sast
that small army Of men was reqaiSed 30
go through the forms of entering and
proving as required by the laws Of the
United States in disposal of public
domain. It was necessary to obtain 400
persons who were willing to aid In the
fraud knowingly. Each would be called
on. a sum fixed by the Redwood Com
panY as maximum price was $50. For
that paltre sum the men would De called
on to go to the land Office and make
statement that the land they entered ur-
der the beneicent and literally generous
laws OF Uncle Sam, was for their indi-
yidual use and occupancy. AS soon az
entry was made the men were escorted 10
the headquarters of the syndicate where
the land WAS transferred to the "csnpy
Scotcamsn." Thus, it WAS, that the
| chapter of crime WAS completed ard the
raid On $4,000 acres CT timber, among thu
most Vslnsole in the world, was anail,
