Land Frauds Alleged.

| The federal grand jury i'm Duluth
has returned several indictments in
connection with alleged land frauds
in the Duluth district. G.. p. Mag
innis, the we'll known and popular
land attorney, A. L. Agatin, Swallow
& Hopkins, and,Sven Olson are among
those against whom indictments have
been made public. The cases will be
heard at the October term. The
latter indictments are on account of
claimed Irregularities in the filing
and proving up of lands north of this
city. Mr.. Maginnis is charged with
su5orning Annie Stensland to commit
perjury. Miss SteDsland entered GER
tain lands in CHA under the stone
and timber act, made proof on the
same and received the patent.
According to the laws of the land
office it was necessary for her to take
oath that she had not directly or in
directly made any agreement or con-
tract with any persons wlomsomever,
by which the title to the land which
she should acquire from the govern
ment should inure, in whole or in
part, to any person except herself,
and that the land was paid for with
her own money and was for her own
benefit entirely.
An abstract of the title to the land
shows that it was decided to George
G. Stone of Duluth shortly after the
patent was granted. 1t is claimed in
the Indictment that Mr.. Maginnis
suborned Miss Stensland to enter the
aforementioned land under thestone
and timber act for the benefit of per-
sons other than herself, and to swear
falsely as to the manner in which she
had secured the money to pay for it,
and as to the ultimate disposal of the
title and the ownership of the land.
The manner in which the matter
was brought to light is interesting.
Alfred Johndrow, of West Superior,
claims that some years ago lie made
entry on the same lands that are GOV.
cred by the patent granted to Miss
Stensland, taking them under the
homestead act. Having occasion
some months later to ask certain
questions concerning his land. he
made application at the Duluth land
Office where he claims.he found that
Il REIMBURSEMENT to which his name
had beet forged had been fled with
| the Duluth officials and that shortly
| after application had been made for
stone and timber entry on the land.
The land had been advertised and
patent issued before he knew that
application had been made. He i'm
mediately sought legal advice, and
the secretary of the interior was COM
| municaied with. He directed Special
Agent N. ID. McEnery Of Crookston,
| to Investigate the matter.
The forged REIMBURSEMENT has not
| in any way been connected with the
Indictment of Mr.. Maginnis. The
! latter gentleman claims lie was in no
way responsible for the actions of
| Miss Stensland.

Parties at Two HarborS have been

When other lips and other hearts,
Their tales of love shall tell,
In language whose excess imparts
The power they feel so well.

Some recollection be,

When GOODNESS or deceit shall slight,

That beams within your eyes,
When hollow hearts shall wear a mask,

A well-known literary gentleman
whose wife and family had gone for
a lengthy stay on the Continent, closed
his house and returned to bachelor life
ut his Cuba residential one. Every
morning he got down to breakfast at
o'clock, and day after day, week
after week, the menu compelled him
TO ham and eggs. He always occupied
the same seat, and therefore was al
ways served by the same waiter. The
waiter had become accustomed to the
order, and began to feel that there
was no necessity of formally asking
for instructions. One morning the
waiter placed the carafe and glasses,
handed over the usual newspaper, and
confidently observed
Ham and eggs, sir, | suppose?"
NO" came the surprising answer.
'Do you suppose a man can't find any
thing to eat except ham and eggs ev-
cry day of his life? Hand ME the
card, and I'll see if can't have a
change"
Then for four or five minutes he
scanned the bill of fare intently, his
face shrouded in frowning gloom.
When he looked up, 1t was to glare at
the waiter and say:
