TIMBER LAND swINDLERs.
Active Warfare Against These
Sharpers in Washington.

Active Warfare Against These
Sharpers in Washington.
Special to the Globe.
SEATTLE, WASH, Feb. 17.-An active
warfare is being waged against timber
land sharpers and swindlers In this
state. Last night N. FL. Mclean was
arrested and sent to Jail, and other
swindlerS have fed. These men have
offices in different parts of the state, and
agree to locate men on government
lands for SIS per claim, and as soon as
the locator gets patent for the land
these SWlndlerS say a large lumber
company they represent will pay
$1,000 for the timber on each claim.
They have had number of cruisers
taking timber land hunters out, show
ing them government land subject to
timber entry, and have swindled great
many persons. 1t is said that in some
instances three or four persons were
located on the same Quarter-section, and
In each S100 fee was collected. Mclean
has advertised extensively in the news
papers, and roped in a great many
victims. He was recently forced to
diSgOrge S700 paid him for a timber
claim. The victim who procured Nc
Leans arrest for obtaining money
under false pretenSeS was n. Mossa,
who paid him S100 for a promised loca-
tion on a timber claim. Mclean failed
to get Mossa's claim, but would not re-
turn the money, hence the arrest. Other
arrests of timber land swlndlers are
likely to follow.

Gen. Sibley Still Unconscious, and
Nearing the End.
At o'clock this morning there was
but little change in the condition of
Gen. Sibley. For the past twenty-four
hours he has remained In the same
state of coma, from which he
will never awaken. The last mes
sage from the bedside of the
dying warrior and statesman, this morn
ing, was he was plainly sinking, but
the change was so gradual that even
the practiced eye of the physician could
scarce detect it. DR.. Abbott said he
did not think the sufferer would sur
viye the night, but he might last a few
hours longer.

board consists of two Republicans, two
Independents and one Democrat. Old

BILLY SMITH DEFEATED.
Barge Won in the Twenty-Sixth
Round.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Feb. 17.-The
Sydney Referee says that Billy Smith,
the featherweight champion, was de-
feated recently at O'Beirne's hall at
Broken Hill by Jim Barge, lightweight.
The Referee says the battle was great
one, Barge winning fairly in the twenty
sixth round by right-hand punch on
the jaw. After the fight Smith was
lionized for his splendid pluck under
punishment, and it was felt he had done
much to redeem his character in regard
to the Critic affair. He is still anxious
to fight Dawson and Critic. Abe Willis,
the Australian bantam, who arrived OH
the Alameda with jim Hall and Billy
Maher, is credited with having bested
Ike Weir in three rounds at his benefit
in Sydney. Weir on his return trip
stopped off at Honolulu. Willis will
probably be matched against the win
ner OF the McCarthy-DiXon contest.
