nearly exhausted from FIVE days ex-

the bottom, three steam schooners
bound south and three bound north

The appearance Of the San Fran

their lives. For FIVE days the crew OF
the barkentine were huddled on the
top Of the cabin with no protection
whatever from the gale. Excepting a
few raw potatoes the men had moth.

A Chain Of Evidence Is Being Forged
to Prove the Existence Of Land
Fraud Conspiracy.
Portland, Ore, Nov. 25.-Link by

chain Of evidence by which 1t is hoped
TO prove the existence of a conspiracy

General Henry bent their energies to
convince the jury by the testimony Of
A w. Barber, a clerk in the general
land Office, that the claims in the now
notorious Ill" district, for which
homestead patents were issued, were
never improved or resided upon by
any of the claimants to whom they
were awarded, and that the issuance
of patents was upon testimony false
from beginning to end.
Mr.. Barber, examined by the gov
ernment, testified that he was a prac-
tical surveyor and had conducted ex-
aminations Of surveys in Is different
states. Last June he had proceeded
to township IL south, range z east, on
written instructions to examine into
conditions there. Four men accompa-
panied him. They went over the ter
ritory in question and found an mac
cessible forest. His instructions were
to examine a list of % claims as to
improvements and residence. Mr.
Barber read a list of the IS claims ex-
amined.
Twelve of these claims. the prosecu.
ton contends, were decided to Emma
L. Watson, among them that Of Emma
Porter, who, the government claims
is none other than Mrs. Watson her.

Barber's evidence differs in detail
