PROBING LAND FRAUDS.
Three More Indictments an Oregon
One against q Woman.
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.I

Washington, Oct. 29.-Secretary Hitchcock
was much gratiiied to-day at the receipt of news
from Oregon that three more indictments had
been secured a result of the investigation of
the public land scandals instituted last January.
Referring TO the dispatches printed in The Trib-
une on the land scandals and the investigation,
the Secretary said that they contained all the
information which il was practicable to make
public at this time, and that they had been ac
curate and free from eXaggeration.
The dispatch came from Portland. Ore, and
announced the indictment of Emma L. Watson,
Guy HUFF and Norman Williams. The woman is
charged with conspiracy in connection with the
proceedings against Miss Ware, the. Commits
sioner of the United States District Court fer
Oregon, who already is under indictment. ard
Williams is charged with forgery in connection
with the Nesbitt case. The proceeding against
HUFF is for forgery, but his is Independent
case.
When asked if he had anything to say about
the indictments, Secretary Hitchcock replied:
Nothing except that the ball goes rolling
There have been seven indictments within a
week. and there will be many more. our sue
up to the present time indicates pretty
clearly, I think. that our Investigations have
been quite thoroughly conducted.
So far most of the prosecutions have been
directed against those engaged in fraudulent
proceedings under the Timber and stone act,
and it now appears that many fragrant irregu-
larities have been discovered. Numerous in
stances of the invasion of public land regions by
people in large companies have been reported to
the department from day to day for the last
year or more. In many cases people have gone
TO the Pacific Coast States from the East to
enter lands under the Timber and Stone act.
The arrival of carloads at a time has been re-
ported, and many of the members OF these
parties women. In one or two cases last
summer carloads of women school teachers from
the Middle Western States went TO the coast,
and all located lands In other instances fam
lilies Of four or five persons each have come in
and made entry of lands. So far as known no
evidence of fraud has been discovered in these
cases, but the officials Of the department con-
tend that ne over $500 is required TO complete
the acquisition of title under the Timber and
Stone law some of these entries are suspicious.
In other cases entries have been made under
fictitious names The Connivance of officials Is
necessary in proceedings OF this kind, and cases
Of this character are easily discovered and pros
ecuted II also appears that the frauds extend
into Idaho, Montana and Nevada.

ON THE OLD MISSISSIPPI

Recently Major John B. Downing.
OF Middleport, Ohio. was discussing
army chicken stealing aud the various
ways the boys had of preparing them
to be served. The major was a Mis-
sissippi river pilot in his young days
and stood at the wheel as a cub I'M

Speaking Of chicken stealing" said
the major, who is now gray and rem

Mississippi when Mark Twain, Jake
Estep, and myself were together. Jake
would have made a typical soldier.
He could locate a fat pullet in a whole

In those days we carried a great
deal OF poultry from points along the
Mississippi river to New Orleans, par.
ticularly during the holiday season,
Al many places the coops we're four

landed. Estep always hid an eye out
for a particularly promi ing coop, and
usually kept in mind the place where

Shortly before midnight he would
go on deck and extract several plump
fowls from the coops he had pre-.
empted,' The chickens were dis.
patched without a protesting squaw',
the entrails removed, but the feal
ers left intact. Seasonings were then
inserted, and the fowl inclosed in a
heavy casing OF soft clay to the thick
ness Of two inches. They were then
cast among the hot embers In the
ashpan and permitted to roast to the
queens taste. When thoroughly cook.

FIERCE FEUD IN MAINE

Up in the peaceable, law-abiding
State Of Maine there is a family feud
In progress which equals In bitter
ness and dire results some OF the
famous and bloody strifes which oc.

Crawford, In Washington county, live
the Magoon and Hanscom families.
For many years bitter feeling has ex.

Hanscoms. The feud is Of such long
standing that no one seems to know
how It originated, but the feelings Of
the opposing factions are no less bit
ter on that account A number Of
controversies and minor fights have
occurred at frequent intervals, which
served to make the bitterness more
intense, and but little was necessary
to kindle the sparks Of hatred.
The two factions came together re.
