THE PUBLIC LAND FRAUDS.
indictments by the Grand Jury and an
Arrest Made.
(By the Associated Press.l

Washington, Feb. 17.-As result of the
investigation of alleged wholesale public
land frauds in many Western States, the
grand jury of the District of Columbia
today reported joint indictment for con-
spiracy against John A. Benson, a wealthy
real estate operator of San Francisco,
Frederick A. Hyde, of San Francisco,
closely identified with Benson in land al
fairs; Henry c. Dimond, of California,
an attorney Representing Benson and
Hyde and Joost H. Schneider, of Tucson,
Ariz., an agent of Benson, and Hyde.
Bench warrants Immediately weer is
sued and Schneider was arrested in this
city late this afternoon by Secret Ser
vice Agent William Burns who had been
quietly investigating public land frauds
in a number of Western States. Schneid-
er was taken before Justice Barnard late
this afternoon and the latter fixed his
bail a $4,000.
Schneider has been witness before the
grand jury in the cases against the other
defendants. Benson already has been in
dicted here on a charge of bribery and is
now believed to be in New York, while
Hyde is thought to be in San Francisco
The scheme outlined in the indictment
and alleged to have been practiced in
these transactions was to obtain school
or other lands by application, assign
ments and purchases in the names OF fic-
titious persons or of persons not really
desiring, or qualified, to purchase them,
Hyde and Benson paying them small
sums for the lands. The indictment
charges that there were false representa-
tons in all these transactions and that
the APPLICATIONS, supported by the indict-
ed parties, were forged, false and fraud

WIDTH OF STREET
Can a City Taking in New
Streets Determine
Their Size.

The case of Hughes vs. Clark. from
Greenville, argument in which was con-
Guided yesterday morning in the Supreme
Court, presented an interesting question,
whether city or town, when it extends
its corporate limits and takes in property
laid off into streets by some company,
Is compelled to accept those streets as
laid off, or may determine their width
as it cleases
The action was brought by John E.
Hughes and j. E. Lipscomb and the
Hancock NJ oorman Tobacco Company,
to compel w. T. Clark to pay an agreed
price for a lot in Greenville upon which
is situated leaf tobacco factory. The
defendant refused to fulfill the purchase
because of an alleged defect in the plain
tiff's title to the lot.
1t seems that the Greenville Lumber
Company few years ago was in posses
sion of what was known as the Moore
land" adjacent to Greenville. This prop
erty was laid off into lots and streets.
One OF these streets was originally a hun
dred feet wide, but was afterwards re-
duced to fifty feet. Two lots and this
street weer sold to the plaintiffs, and
they built the factory. In doing SO they
extended the building ten feet into the
street as laid off by the land company.
Soon thereafter, when the town of
Greenville enlarged its corporate limits,
an ordinance was passed declaring the
width of the street to be forty feet, this
making it run clear of the factory build
ing. Now the defendant claims that the
title to the lot is not clear, on the ground
that the town, when it took in the adj
jacent territory, had no right to lessen the
width of the street as laid off by the
land company.
Mr.. F. S. Spruill, of Louisburg, con-
cluded the argument for the plaintiff yes
terday morning. He declared that if any
individual or company could compel
town to accept a street fifty feet wide,
they could compel it to accept one five
hundred feet wide. The town or c:tv
alone must determine the width of its
streets. Messrs. Jarvis and Blow appear
ed with Mr.. Spruill, and Messrs. Conner
and Common, of Wilson, and Moore and
Fleming, of Greenville, appeared for the
defendant

"Diamondfcld Jack" Davis has given
Judge q. W. Powers ri Salt Lake 5000
shares Fl the Dianondfield Gold Mining
Company's stock. valued at $40, 900, says
the salt Lake Tribune. Davis was three
times sentenced tu death inr a double
killing in Cassin County, Idaho, in 1896.
The legal proceedings ran through six
years, and, at his last trial in 1898,
Judge Powers assisted in prosecuting
him, and drew Davis death warrant.
Afterwards, Powers helped to secure his
pardon from the Idaho ~penitentiary.
About two years ago Davis arrived in
Salt Lake pennies, aud Judge Powers
loaned him money enough to get to
Tonorah. and he departed with the
promise that he would repay the money.
Since then he has prospered. As one Of
the original l~ocators of the famous
claims at Goldiield and Diamondfield he
secured large holdings in the camps,
and is a leader of law and order i'll
that section. The gift to Jud re Powers
