ity i'm the Land Frauds
ASSERTS HIS INNOCENCE
Accused Says That He Acted
as Puter's Legal Adviser
and Was Drawn Into Case

PORTLAND, Dec. 21.-Franklin
Pierce Mays, one of the best known at
torneys in Oregon and a member of
respectable pioneer family, was this
morning indicted by the Federal Grand
Jury now IN session on the charge of
conspiracy TO defraud the Government
Mays says he simply acted as attorney
for S. A. d. Puter, but there is no doubt
that the strongest possible attempt VIII
be made to bring him into the land
fraud case much more closely.
The lands with which Mays is con-
nected. six quarter sections, lie in a
township close TO the famous I'll"
land on which Mckinley. Watson and
Puter were recently tried and convicted
of fraud Puter, it is said, told Mays
that no claims in that township had
been FLED. If patents could be obtain
ed the land could be profitably sold.
Puter agreed 10 furnish the necessary
names OF supposed settlers and Mays
was to get the patents. Puter putting
up the money. 1t is here that Senator
Mitchell and Representative Hermann
are brought into the case. A letter
from Mays 10 Mitchell introduced Puter
TO the Senator and Mitchell introduced
Puter TO Hermann.
After these six claims had been put
through the Eugene land office through
the influence of Marie Ware, then
United States Commissioner. Mays, it
is said. tried TO induce Miss Ware 10
run eight more through. Miss Ware
became frightened and wrote to Horace
Mckinley for instructions. He told her
to refuse Mays, who then became
angry.
The indictment of Mays has been
talked OF for several days and il is
said it has great bearing upon the con-
nection of Senator Mitchell and Repre-
sentative Hermann with the great land
frauds Mitchell is now hurrying from
Washington 70 Portland
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken by the Government to prevent
any attempt to bribe the members of
the Grand Jury. Many secret service
men are in the city and close watch
is being kept on the jurymen.

MURDER STILL
DEEP MYSTERY
No Light Shed on the Iden-
tity of the Girl Found
Dead Oh Top of Mountain

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Dec
21.-The police are as far from a clew
to the solution of the Cutler Mountain
mystery as ever, but their efforts are
being redoubled.
The last ciew that was in their hands
played out this morning when Ona D.
Hoyt, a pretty hairdresser. living in
this city. and who was reported to have
disappeared, was found safe at her
room in the Clinton Hotel.
The Coroner has in his possession no
less than forty hairpins that were
taken out Of the coil of hair that re-
mains on the head OF the dead girl or
picked up at the scene of the attempted
cremation Of the body. These hairpins
are all of stiff wire, there being no
small flexible ones and the number and
strength of the pins are taken to in
dicate that the growth of hair was un-
usually heavy.
Al increased number of officers is to-
day engaged in the search through the
hills for evidence that may lead to the
discovery of the identity of the muir
dered girl or of her slayer.
At their meeting to-day the County
Commissioners offered a reward of
$1,000 for the arrest and conviction Of
the murderer.
Coroner Law buried the remains Of
the girl to-day in Evergreen Cemetery,
in a lot provided by the county. The
body was put in a coffin and the latter
encased in box, the County Commits
sioners offering to defray the expenses
of a decent burial for the girl rather
than permit her to be buried in the
grave of a pauper-

as to what Gov. VanSant was going

for it. A good illustration is found
in the following which was an open

Gov. VanSant's repeated pilgrim
ages to the East would indicate that
he still has hopes Of being tackled

national ticket.
