Of Locating Suckers on Timber1ess
| Timber Lands in Benton But
| Failed.
A timber land steal. designed to
defraud innocent people, is believ-
ed to have been attempted in Ben
ton county within the past few
days, The plan,a far as it is now
understood, seems to be identical
with the feat undertaken by Lo-
Gator Stone, who located 38 Port
1anders on timberless timber lands
in the region beyond Alsea. The
scheme has every earmark that was
characteristic of the Stone con-
spiracy, and it has unfolded enough
| to indicate that wholesome fraud
was the ultimate design of the per-
petrator, whoever he Or they may
have been. The purpose was to
locate people in the state of Wash
ington on alleged lands in Benton
county, southwest Of Corvallis. 1t
was represented to the proposed
victims that the timber was within
four hours drive of Corvallis, and
that eighteen claims were there.
each containing a million feet of
timber and upwards A fact that
indicates the brazen character of the
fraud is, that there is absolutely no
vacant timber land in the region
described. much less enough quar-
ter sections to locate Is people each
on quarter, making in all an ag-
gregate of four and a half timbered
sections. Had there been such va
cant timber land in the locality, it
would have been taken long ago.
The fraudulent scheme came to
the surface last Friday. On that
day there arrived in town Seattle
business man, accompanied by a
surveyor, also from. Seattle, On
arrival they went to the clerk S
office, and there made inquiry for
maps of the county, together with
information relative to certain va
cant timber lands, four hours drive
from Corvallis. and to the south
west. Naturally enough, County
Clerk Moses almost immediately
informed them that there was no
vacant timber land in the section
referred to. The strangers. how
ever. insisted to the contrary, and
for considerable time refused to
be convinced. They related that
timber locator had told them that
he had IS quarter sections in south
western Benton. supposedly in the
|Alsea country. Clerk Moses
Showed them maps and other evil
|dence to the contrary, and at length
advised them to make inquiry
about town, before they finally bit
lat the bait,
The next day, the strangers took
the train for Seattle They did
hot even wait to make the trip into
the country as they had planned.
AFTER picking up what information
was possible at the clerks Office,
they made similar inquiry about
town, and warned by what they
had learned, left without taking
the trouble to visit the alleged
timber lands for personal inspec-
ton. Their return to Seattle was
probably followed by stormy in
terview with the timber locator
who proposed to repeat the fraud
that the willy Stone so successfully
manipulated. Who the locator is.

Trouble Brewing
in Tonopah.

W. Brougher, of Tonopah, who is at
present in Reno. says that there is likely
to be trouble in Tonopah. and it is not
at all impossible that the mines may be
tied up for length OF time.
Tonopah is the strongest union camp
of it's size in the United States. Every
body there who labors belongs to either
the Miners Union or the American La
Dor Union, and whatever course the
former decides on will be backed up by
the latter. Should strike be declared
it will be fought to finish.
As nearly as can be learned the Miners
Union objects to contract work on the
ground the men SO employed do not re-
ceive S400 a shift, which is the scale OF
the camp.
The matter is now being. discussed
among the memb mbers Of the union, the
representatives of the foreign owners
and the owners Of mines who are on the
ground.
The trouble has assumed serious pro-
portions and it is hard to foretell the
outcome Reno Telegram.

Plan is a Success.

A month has elapsed since the assist
ant conductors have been put on the
passenger trains of the s. p and the
great advantage Of the plan is beginning
to be generally felt among the travelling
public.
The conductors, by being relieved of
much OF their labor, is enabled to spend
his entire time in looking after the run.
ming Of his train and the possibilities of
wreck are greatly lessened.
The assistant conductor, or train
agent, as he is called, does not have the
worry OF running the train on his mind
and has more time to keep an eye on the
comfort OF the patrons of the raod.
This system is not new idea in rail
roading. 1t has been in vogue on the
Wabash for the past three years and
met the same universal appreciation
that it has On the Southern Pacific

bill required an examination OF all new
doctors and surgeons coming into the
State. The veto was rendered for the
following reason:
My objections to this measure are
based on such lines of public policy as
have been presented to me by the MEM
bers OF the medical profession OF this
State, there being very decided differ
ence of opinion relative to the law exist
ing and the bill now under considera-
tion, with reference to the notorious
features OF both.
Now, in so far as examinations are
concerned, am disposed to believe
that physician who may stand the best
examination is not always the best prac-
titioner. Young men freeh from college
would probably stand far in advance OF
older and more reliable applicants in the
treatment OF diseases. Our present law
has apparently given good satisfaction,
and the division OF opinion by the medi-
cal men OF the State has compelled me
to hesitate in giving my approval to the
bill, and / have finally concluded to
withhold my approval, and permit the
next Legislature to take the matter up.
Meantime, il should discover from evil
dence and observation that this Act is
preferable, l will willingly recommend
to the next Legislature by message the
passage.of the bill.

Received Fatal
Injuries.

A man named A. Beck, supposed
railroad laborer, was struck by traip
near Stone House last Friday night and
received fatal injuries. He was picked
up by late No. 5 the next morning and
taken to the county hospital at Winne-
mucca where he died soon afterward.
His left arm was badly man yled. the car
wheels having evidently passed over it.,
and there we're several ugly cuts about
the head. which, together with the body,
was covered with blood. The STANDARD
says he did not recover consciousness
and the only means Of Identification was
a receipt made out to A. B 'ck, showing
that he had shipped bundle of bedding
from Battle Mountain to Winnemueca.
The Standard says the manner in
which the accident occurred is mys-
terry. 1t is supposed that he fell from a
train on which he was beating his way
west or he may have been intoxicated
and fallen beside the track in drunken.

The poor unfortunate was in Battle

and did not seem to be in an intoxicated
condition at any time during his stay
here. The last we saw of him in town
was last Friday afternoon.
