feits for Timber Claims Near Seattle.
SAN FEAycIsco, Jan. Especial. THE
firm Of Amos Weaver & Co. secured desk
room in a Montgomery street Office here a
short time ago. The nrm's business card
announced that they were Gland Iocators. -
Certain people who were approached
found that the firm represented the Michi-
gan and Maine Lumber and Milling Com
pany, which wanted to secure lot of
fine timber land north of Seattle They
would pay any ones expenses there, and
after be had secured a title to the
land they would pay him $500
in cold cash for his trouble
The scheme appeared plausible from the
fact that quarter section of good timber
land would be worth many times that
amount to the lumber company. 4
triaing deposit of SIS was required in adj
vance, but this would also be returned
when the 81 900 was paid.
Among other people who found them.
selves in on the scheme was a memher Of
one OF the local Grand Array posts, who

worked with their comrades. For several
days the scheme was very quietly dis

in it.
Among those who were getting ready to

rades were getting ready to go north in
parties of FIVE, in from ten days 70 three

all obeyed the injunction OF secrecy TO =

All this was changed to CONSERVATION
today when a rumor went rapidly about
that Weaver & Co. had disappeared and
that the whole thing was a smoothly

had been cautious laughed al day at

TO STOP THE FIGHT.
Jim Corbett's Father Says 1t
Would Disgrace Him.
BUT THE PueILlsT IS READY.

He WIZ Stop the Corbett-Jsckson Fight
III He Can.

san Francisco, Jan Especial l-P- j.
Corbett, father Of Jim Corbett. the pugilist,
has written a letter to the local press, in
which he says that the match just made
between his son and Peter Jackson, 70
light IN the California Club, cannot or will
not take place, as he will not permit his
son TO disgrace his family in the city in
that way. He must 90 TO some other place.
Mr.. Corbetf continues:
sWheD jim had his battle with ChoynsE I
was In measure forced to consent. IS both
ChoynsG and his brother annoyed him, as he
stated 70 me, everywhere he met them. On the
strength OF this statement consented that jim
should meet him and test for good who was the
oess man IN private, but under no circumstances
shoald it take place before club for purse"
reporter who saw Mr. Corbett asked
him what measures he intended to pursue
TO stop the match. He said.
81 shall prevent it somehow. Ny son shall not
bring disgrace upon his family as long ss am
here TO prevent IL"
do you propose taking any legal measures
Il shall When the tine comes, and see that
my son Is bound 20 disobey me and disgrace him
self, shah apply to the grand jury 10 have both
men put under heavy bonds 70 keep the peace.
Pr1zedghting is against the lsw OF this state and
propose 70 see that the law is enforced"
Il Is quite clear that If the father Of the
young California champion can do any
thing 20 stop his sons pugiIistic career he
will do IL regardless of consequences. On
the other hand, the determination Of the
Corhett family seems TO have place in
Jim's character. as Eeli as in bis fathers.
Corbetf is quite as determined that he viii
meet Jackson as his father is that he shall
not Young Corbett has written a public
letter in reply to his fathers statements,
in which he says:
while would gladly do anything in my
power TO please my father and my family, the
facts are ss follows: must either fight Jack
son or cease forever to make any pretensions as
pugifist- There are but three men IN the
world whom would battle, namely, Sullivan,
Slayin and Jackson The two former have re-
fused 20 fight, and Jackson only is LETT as my

and nowhere on earth bat before the
California Club could he and | meet
and each get eTen-hznded justice. To leave
this city, where I have been raised, and go
among strangers to fight, it seems TO me would
be the height of absurdity. With all due defer
ence 70 my kind and worthy father, and regret
ing that cannot comply with his wishes, de-
sire to now state that If I live until the third
