indication as to the order of trials.
The Blue Mountain case is one of
the most famous of all the indict-
ments returned in the course of the
Oregon land fraud Investigations.
Senator John H. Mitchell, Congress
man Hermann, Congressman William
son, State Senator +. P. Mays, Willard
N. Jones and George Sorenson were
indicted on the charge of conspiring
to defraud the government of 200, 900
acres of land within the boundaries of
the Blue Mountain forest reserve.
The indictment alleges that the fraud
was to be accomplished largely by
means of fraudulent purchases of
state school lands in Crook, Grant,
Harney, Malheur, Baker, Union,
Umatilla and Wallowa counties, such
lands lying within the boundaries of
the proposed reserve. Incidentally the
case involves the operations of the
ring which was robbing the state of
its school lands by means of forged
applications and dummy applicants.
The third indictment in which Con
gresham Hermann is named as de-
fendant has to do with the transactions
of the Puter ring in township "11-7,"
and also brings in Puter's famous
story of the payment of $4,000 to Sem
ator Mitchell for his services in ex-
pediting the patenting of fraudulent
claims, The other defendants besides
Hermann are Senator Mitchell, s. A.
D. Puter, Horace q. Mckinley, Emma
L. Watson, Dan Tarpley, E. K. Brown,
Mrs. Nellie Brown, Henry A. Young,
Frank III. Walgamot, Clark f. Loomis
aud S. b. Ormsby. All of the de-
PENDANTS are alleged to have been par
ties to conspiracy to defraud the
government of its lands and the in
dictment sets forth the alleged pay
ment of $4,000 by Puter to Senator

CASE IN DECEMBER
GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO TRY
HERMANN IN OREGON.
Congressman Will Have to Answer
the Portland Indictments
Before Others.

A Washington special to the Oregon
Daily Journal says it has been de-
cided by the government to try Con
gresham Hermann first under the in
dictments brought against him in Ore
gon. No specific date has been set for
the trial, which will take place in
Portland, but it is thought by Score
tary Hitchcock and District Attorney
Francis ]. Heney that the trial will
be set during the early part of Decem-
Der.
1t was at first contemplated to try
Hermann i'll Washington under the in
dictment found against him alleging
destruction of government records.
The local district attorney, however,
has several cases on hand growing eut
of the alleged frauds in the postoffice,
which have precedence, aud must be
heard before Hermann's case can be
reached. So it has been decided to
try Hermann under the Oregon indict-
ments first
Attorney Heney will leave Washing
ton the latter part of the week for
Portland.
Three indictments are pending
against Congressman Binger Hermann
in this state. The sudden decision of
Secretary Hitchcock and the depart
ment of Justice to bring the Oregon
indictments to trial in advance of that
found in the District of Columbia
will cause some surprise, aud it was be-
lieved in many quarters that Her
mann would be tried first at Washing
ton.
The three indictments pending in
this state are known respectively as
the Butter creek case,'' the "Blue
Mountain conspiracy" and the al Z
case. = In the first named Congress-
man Hermann was indicted jointly
with w. w. Steiwer, Franklin Pierce
Mays, Edwin Mays, John II, Hall, G.

others, on the charge OF fencing gov
ernment lands. 1t is generally sup
posed that this case viii not be the
