AFTER TIE BONDS.
Mono Of the Boal Holders Respond to
tho States Demand.
An Ex.tsrand Jurors Recolleclions OF q
Former Invcstsgation.
lPicayune, 5th.l

l.
Attorney General Rogers yesterday
sent out some more letters 10 holdets
of invalid consolidated bonds, asking
that they be turned over to the state
and the interest refunded. He has not
yet received any reply TO any Of the
circulars nor have the holders, SO far
as known, decided upon any particu-
lar course. A number Of them, how.
ever, have consulted their lawyers and
are getting ready for fight. It is said
that some will proceed by injunction
restraing the attorney general from se-
quesering their bonds Others seem
disposed not to take any action and
will await further proceedings, remain
ing on the defensive. They say that
the only evidence against them is that
which thev gave In good faith before
the grand jury and they do not think
that can be used.
Attorney General Rogers was spok-
en- to with reference 10 the matter and
said that his course was tho fatresi
possible for the boudholders. 1t is q
matter of handling stolen property,
and he made no promises as to the use
to which he would put The Information
the stolen bonds back into the treasury
have them Cancelled, aud remove all
danger OF future fraud upon innocent
parties. The holders must admit thai
they cannot sell the fraudulent bonds,
and. as upon their surrender they
would receive receipt from the stale,
il would place them In the best posi-
BILE position for an appeal to the legts-
lature.
The "baby bonds'' report will go 10
the grand jury today. The jury will
decide as to what witnesses to summo
and what particular line of inquiry to
pursue. A member of grand jury oi
several years ago recalls that the body
| OF which he was q member came with

fraud, One Of the members had heard
of loan on bonds which Msjsr Burke
contracted at one of the banks, the
president Of which is now dead. The
grand inquest had foil confidence ii
Maj. Burke, but nevertheless Wanted
him to explain. When he heard 0
the matter he expressed a great desire
10 come before the jury, and was glat

At IL O'Clock he took one Of the rive
packets and went to Baton Rouge. FL
returned in few days and this tim
demanded an interview, stating h

= grand jury and denied having use

8 denial satisfied the jury. 1t went n
e further, as the bank testified that Ma

pleased with Montana from the time they cross its
eastern boundary until they pass the rugged mountains
that mark its western limit and enter the arid plains of
Washington territory beyond Spokane Falls. The

wcrisomc to the eye after passing through the pleasing

A Scotch clergyman, in a recent

He was never at loss about tie

Swamp Lands.

e.
WASHINGTON, Spec al Telegram, June 90
Assistant Attorney General Childs of Mime
sofa made strong argument before the in
terror department. officers to-day atthe hear-
ing involving the states title to the swamp
lands under the grand Of 1860 and the sub
sequent agreement between the state
and Commissioner Wilson, of the general
land Office The case in point
is of minor Importance. Joseph Ray made a
settlement on a certain tract in the Duluth
land district in 1888. His fling was refused
by the local land officers because the land
was returned by the surveyors as swamp,
and, under act of 1860, belonged to the
state. Ray has continued to live on the land
ever since, although it has been patented to
the state and by the state to the Duluth &
Winnipeg road and conveyed by the road
by contract TO one Mains. Rays attorneys
ask the sanction of the governm ent to bring
suit to set aside the patent to the state, al
leging that the tract was frauduIently re-
turned as swamp land. Mains attorneys
claim that he, as an innocent purchaser,
should not be disturbed in his title. The
State of Minneso.a's claims were set forth by
Mr.. Chllds, who said: sThe government
cannot go back on the agreement
made by Commissioner Wilson and the
state when it was agreed that the field
notes Of the surveyors, duly accredited
agents of the government, should determine
which We're swamp lands, and, under the
act, the property OF the state. The govern
ment cannot be legally estopped, but moralIy
it is bound Ly that agreement The state
accepted and has received it's lands In some
instances lands not swamp have been re-
turned as such, and in mnny other cases
IL fhofo oty oil u Dc Iaxr
been returned as high and dry, and thus
TAKEN FROM THE STATE.
No one can tell how much on either side
has been enron eously returned; buu should
the government allow cases where lands
have already been returned as swamp to be
reopened and when established by affidavit
that the returns were erroneous to take
them from the state, where will the state get
its deficiency? How should it secure the
lands which have been enormously re-
turned as dry lands, and which are
actually swamp lands? The state asks that
the agreement under which the swamp lands
have been patented to the state be still en-
forced, and the ruling of Secretary Lamar
reversed" Mr.. Childs said that the state had
no interest IN the case at all other than as it
affected subsequent 5. acts and decisions
Commissioner Wilson, in his communication
to Gov. Ramsey, made the further proviso
that the government should have
the control Of the lands until
patent was issued The Minnesota repre-
sentatives say they do not want to be obliged
to fight every case where claim is made,
and desire that swamp lands shall be so
designated f1o.n the time p!ats are filed. In
the present case the government is asked to
set aside the patent. State Auditor Braden
says he will spend month in the Duluth
district making personal inspection OF the
swamp lands. The discovery OF iron ore in
that region has made the swamp lands very
valuable
