victim was mulcted to the extent of from
SIS to SIS, the sums aggregating many
thousands of dollars. The fraud was per-
petrated under the name of a league of
women the alleged objects of which are
woman suffrage. national temperance, etc.
Owing to the similarity of the name with
that of a well-known organization. the
work of securing victims was easy. Adverr
tisements were published here early in
June for local secretaries" to whom a
salary Of 5000 yearly was offered. Those
who answered were the recipients Of glow
ing letters ard finally received checks for
SIS to pay the expense Of a trip to Detroit
The intending secretary was informed that
reduced rates of fare could be secured by
sending SIS to All alleged passenger agent
in Cleveland within three days. The checks
were hurriedly cashed in almost every in
stance and came back protested. The seek
er of employment, therefore, was minus
S15 i'm good money, which presumably fell
into the hands OF the swindlers in Cleve-
land.

HILL AND HARTMAN TRYING TO
CORNER THE LUMBER MARKET.
Purchasing Vast Forests I'm Washing
ton, Oregon and California
Others I'm the Deal.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-The Bulletin
says that Z. III. Hartman and James j.
Hill are uniting I'm great timber deal
whereby they with a number of associates
will control the lumber market of the
world. They are securing large tracts of
forest land in northern California and Ore
gon through their agents, who have been
for some time quietly buying property on
the coast. Among the associates of the
two railroad magnates are Frederick Wey-
erhauser. of Minneapolis. T. b. Walker. of
Minneapolis, Jacob Blodgett, of Grand Rap
ids, and number of men of influence in
the various timber sections of the Western
States. With the many minor holdings
Hartman and his associates may count on,
it is said that the plan is to merge the more
valuable lands controlled by the Hill roads
and the Southern Pacific into a trust.
With the lands of the Hill and the Harri-
man roads and those of Walker, Weyer-
hauser and others in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and California, controlled by Harri-
man and his associates, they would be in a
position to control the lumber market of

gagged two hours in sham fight. This ne
cessitated a forced march in the hottest
hours OF the day. The colonel commanding
the regiment refused TO grant the request of
some of his officers that the soldiers be al
lowed to rest, though he himself was in
capacitated, being obliged to finish the
march in carriage.
Before reaching Bilek the men fell out of
the ranks by scores. Nine died immediate
ly and twenty-five were carried of insensi-

pital. Seventy others are In serious con-
