BIG LAND FRAUDS UNCOVERED.
Detectives Find Bogus Deeds Were
Made Out in ST. Louis.

Made Out in St. Louis.
Detectives employed by a Seattle,
Wash, real estate association have dis
covered thirty-two fraudulent instru-
ments whereby, it is claimed, innocent
purchasers i'll various parts of the coun-
try have been swindled by investments in
realty in Washington, and nine of these,
the detectives declare, were made out
and attested in st. Louis. Mrs. Mary B.
Belt, a notary, stated that her records
show that on May 26, 1904, she ac-
knowledged four deeds for property in
Washington for a Washington man, and
other deeds on later dates. She now
believes her signature and seal were
forged to bogus deeds. Miss Lulu r.
Colvin, another notary, stated she had
a record of one deed having been &C
knowledged by her for the same Wash
ington man. She likewise believes her
seal and signature have been forged for
use in the alleged land frauds, which ag-
gregate $100O,0O0

built in the Indian days, deep in the Tor
est and with no road or walk leading TO
it except path through the woods. Mrs.
Miller's description of her "home" is that
the logs have become so decayed as TO
allow the elements free play, While the
''loft'' in which have slept the parents
and eight children, ranging IN ages
from 2 to Is years, is no more than d
"roost," through the covering OF when
can be viewed the heavens as from

pleading the wife tells Of cruelt1es causeu
from drink and being driven at tunes
from even this howell, and her husband
having placed the children as they reach
ed the age Of - years in a state
peonage, forbidding them to return home.
