Thus far the revelations are confined
almost wholly to Montana and Idaho,
Interior department officials are in

Of lO2 indictments by the federal grand
jury at Helena against alleged land
frauds In Montana, and he received a
telegram saying that the federal grand
jury in Idaho has returned ninety in
dictments for the same olfense. The
Montana cases grow out Of the trans
action by which United States Senator
w. A. Clark has obtained possession Of
about four thousand acres Of the public
domain and timber lands in that state.
II appears that Senator Clark pur-
chased this property outright from a
group OF men In Montana.

figure In the alleged frauds in Idaho
