transaction is the one that will probably
be attacked by the government Under
the timber and stone act title to land en-
tered in accordance with 1t cannot pass
until the patent has been issued by the
government. The United States supreme
court has sustained this provision, and ii
is probable that the government will
allege that, by accepting transfer of the
final certificate, Senator Clark was not
an innocent purchaser within the mean
ing of the land laws.
Gossip about the intention of the gov
ernment to bring this suit started some
weeks ago when Griswold sued Cobban in
the state court at Missoula for the com
mission alleged to be due him for hav-
ing obtained entrymen. 1t was reported
then that Cobban had been acting in the
senator's interest, and this report appar-
emily is what started the government off,
GERS to make their investigation.
1t is also reported here that Mr.. Nav
nard will present the facts connected with
the afidavits of the entrymen to the
United States grand jury, which met here
last Monday, with a view to having some
of them indicted for perjury.
Folks here are looking for long bat
tie IL the suit is entered against Clark.
as neither he nor the government will
be willing to accept defeat until the case
has been decided by the United States
supreme court.

public lands in Montana Shortly after
that modest, unassuming gentleman ap-
peared on the scene and registered as M.
c. Burch of Grand Rapids, Mich. He did
not remain very long and while not mys-
terious, did not court the attention of
newspaper men. 1t developed later that
he was a special United States assistant
attorney general. Early this week F.
A. Maynard, also Of Grand Rapids, came
here. A special dispatch from Washing
ton about ten days ago announced the
latter's appointment as a special attor-
ney of the department Of justice for the
conduct on behalf of the government of
certain important cases in Montana. His
early arrival has renewed the gossip
which has been current here that the
government was after big game Mr.
Maynard and other government officials
will not discuss the proposed litigation,
but the rumor is to the effect that no less
person than United States Senator w.
A. Clark is soon to be made defendant in
suit in equity to be brought by the gov
ernment to set aside patents Illegally is
sued to him for valuable timber lands in
this state.
With the persons most concerned so
reticent, particulars as to the circum-
stances of the case are hard to obtain, but
from what has already occurred many
persons who have heard the current gos-
sip have arrived at what seems to be a
fairly accurate conclusion of why the gov
ernment is after Senator Clark
Purchased Entrymen.
The case will, so it is said, turn upon
the possession Of $4,000 to 1000 acres of
land which was disposed of under the
timber and stone act at $3.50 an acre The
assumption is that Senator Clark paid
large advance on this price in the shape
of commissions to his agents. 1t is said
that his principal assistant was one R.
NJ. Cobban of Missoula, who was en-
ployed to secure persons to make entries
for the land, each entry embracing 100
acres. Cobban hired an assistant for him
self, c. L. Griswold of Missoula Cobban
and Griswold are said to have induced
nearly a hundred persons to make these
entries, who were paid bonus of 500
each for their share in the transactions
in addition to having all the expenses in
cident to making the entries paid with
money furnished by the supposed Clark
agents. Not only were men hired to make
the entries, but many women were not
averse to making an honest dollar in
this way.
In making these entries the entrymen
were obliged to make oath that they were
purchasing the land for the timber there
on; that they were acting in good faith.
and not as agents for any other person
or corporation.
Immediately upon the filing of the appli-
cation and the necessary publication un-
der the timber and stone act, the local
land offices issued certificates showing the
facts as a preliminary to the issue of
patents by the land Office at Washington.
1t is said that these certificates were
transferred to Cobban, who, in turn,
transferred them to Senator Clark

British-American Plan to Set

ter Will Probably
Be Adopted.

Washington, June 15.-The news dis
patches from Peking convey to the official
mind here the belief that what is known as
the British-American plan of settling the
indemnity question is making headway
and that it will in the end be adopted
as the only feasible scheme. The firm at
titude of the United States in declining
to enter into Joint guarantee of the
enormous bond issue is believed to have
had its effect in inclining the ministers to
accept the British-American proposal.

1t was sorry day for the offenders
brought before Judge MCGEE for
sentence at 10 o'clock this morning. JUS
tlce was in It's sternest and most un-
bending mood, and while clemency was
exercised in one or two cases, the general
rule was the imposition of the maximum
penalty provided by the statutes.
The crowd which jammed the courtroom
was apparently more interested in the
case against Fred Briggs than in anything
else which occurred during the morning,
and murmur of surprise ran round when
the court imposed the maxipum penalty
in each of the two cases, six months in
the workhouse and fine of 5000, with
the Droviso that in case the fine in each
case was not paid before the expiration Of
the workhouse sentence, an additional i'm
prisonment Of ninety days should be i'm
posed for such failure. Thus Briggs, for
the offense of keeping gambling devices,
receives total sentence upon two con-
victions amounting to one years impris-
onment in the workhouse and a fine of
$4OO, with the possibility of six months
additional Imprisonment if the fine is not
paid.

Briggs had nothing to say when the
judge asked him the customary question.
In pronouncing sentence the court said
that it had the right, in reaching judg-
ment, to take into consideration all facts
in its possession and then recited some
of the testimony given by the saloon
keepers when they pleaded guilty to hav-
ing the machines in their places and re-
ferred to the fact that many OF them had
then stated unequiyocally that Briggs had
induced them to install the machines after
extending assurance that the city adminis-
tration would protect them. Judge Nc
Gee said that man who was able to thus
corrupt the city authorities was dan
gerous character and should not be toler-
ated.
