RECORD FOR CRIMES.
Man OF Terrible Record Will BE
Brought to Answer.

| Chicago. Feb. 9.-Johann Hoch, in.
dicted for bigamy, suspected of murde,
and man of many aliases, arrived in
Chicago tonight. and for several hours
after reaching here was interrogated by
the police with little result. The train
bearing Hoch and Officer LOTUS, who
had him in custody, was due in Chicago
at 5 ;25, but it was O'Clock befo. 9 it ar
rived. A large crowd had gathered,
but none of the wives was among the
number.
Hoch had evidently expected q num-
Der of his wives TO meet him at the sta
tion and he was plainly disappointed
that they did not come.
"Where are these IA wives you talk
about so much" he asked of Mr.. Lof-
tus. II guess you have been joking me

When Hoch and Lotus aIighted from
the train the detail Of six policemen who
had been sent to the station to meet
them was able to control the crowd only
with great difficulty. The people push.
ed and showed in an exciting manner, as
they strove to get look at him. When
he was recognized, a number OF people
isered and booted him.
The police hurried Hoch through the
station, and ou the Sidewalk outside had
another crowd TO deal with. They
quickly hustled H. ch into a patrol

Big Land Deal.

Omaha, Feb. 13.-As an out
come of the fight to keep Utah and
Idaho sheepmen out of Wyoming,
deal has just been closed in this
city by which 100000 acres of
land in Western Wyoming will
pass into the hands of Utah sheep
raisers.
The deal is in the form of a
lease from the Union Pacific to
the Utah Grazing association,
which owns large focks of sheep
in Wyoming and Utah. John G.
Mackay, county commissioner, and
E. b. Callister, revenue IcoIlector
at Salt Lake. signed the lease on
behalf of the association.
The lease is one of the largest
drawn up for some time. It in.
wolves alternate sections of govern
ment lands. The tract lies in
what as known as the Red Desert
between Leroy and the Green riv-
er, the grazing lands being among
the best that the West affords. It
will furnish winter grazing for
100000 head of sheep owned by
several parties, each of whom pos
sesses a summer and fall range of
his own. Under the laws of wv
omlng that the tract can be kept
free from transient grazers with
out being fenced.
1t will also save the members of
the association from overcrOwdine
as they can regulate the number
of sheep that the range will ac-
commodate.

CONFESSES
TO PERJURY
FALSE TESTIMONY GIVEN BY
JUDGE TANNER.
Tells All In COurt..An lind ic IN n
Has Been Found Against
VILLA mSOn.

Portland, Feb. 1.-The climax il
the land fraud cases was reached to
day when Judge Albert II. Tanner. Law
partner of United States Senator Nit
chell, indicted February s for the crime
OF perjury in regard to the agreement
OF o-partrership between himself and
Senator Mitchell, went to the witness
stand and entered a plea of guilty
The scene was a dramatic one, impres
sive and sorrowful. Judge Tanner en-.
eed the court room haggard and worn
and bowed as if by weight of years.
With him was his son, Albert H., Jr.,
to shield whom the plea was about to
be made. Following both came Henry
G. Robertson. private secretary of Sen,
ator Mitchell. At the time Tame,
gave his testimony, January 81 last. the
government had possession of evidence
which varied from that given by Tan
ner, and linking it together District At
tornev ::Heney made such a showing
that no. on y Judge Tanner. but his son
was indicted by the grand jury.
Tanner for several days afterward
maintained his position, but fioally
when he ascertained the nature OF the
testi nony which Mitchel's secretary,
Harry G. Robertson, intended to give
and in order to save his son from PROS
ecution, Tanner yielded and went to the
witness stand.
After Tanner was sworn Heney hand.
ed him cont act which he bad sworn
to before the grand jury was the orig
inal document and was asked when the
document was written. "December
last" Tanner replied. Tanner was
asked if the document were to be use
in defense of Mitchell. Tanner, in
reply, said: II will tell you the cir
cumstances and y N can draw your own
conclusions. When S.nator Mitchell
was out here he 10 ked over the old
nd a. -, "a l.
thought ought to be changed and told
me to fix it. l then drew up in writing
here, changing the particular clause he
thought dangerous and We signed it.
At the time that was done l said to
him: Now Robertson is the only man
on earth, except yon and |, that knows
to the contrary anything about this
agreement and Robertson will rave to
corroborate this thing. Of course, it |
may get us into trouble He said he
would see what he could do with |
Robertson. or something of that kind, !
and the agre ,ment was left with me in |
that shape. Toe new agreement Was
signed in December of last year and
contained clause, not included in the
original, which provided that all money
received in payment for services render
ed before the government departments
should 60 to Tanner. In all other re-
spects the last agreement was identical
with the original" Tanner then went
on to explain the division of fees, Nit
chelI's share usually being sent to him
in the shape of deposit tag, showing
the amount.
Judge Tanner stated the firm did a
large business with Frederick r. Kribs,
A tmberland dealer in this city, who
paid the firm of Mitchell & Tanner var
Gus sums OF money for expediting the
cases in the land department of the
government. Mitchell was indicted for

PARTY MISTAKES.

Democrats have never yet made a
mistake by following in well beaten
paths, or in barking back to the teach
ings OF the fathers. The blunders for
which the party Is proverbial have In
variably come through following mis-
taken self-appointed leaders on new
departures which they represented as
short cuts to victory. This Is the
plain lesson OF history. But neVerthe-
less too many democrats are ever
ready to support political fads, to
their own confusion. The prevailing
fad at this time Is municipal owner
ship. OF municipal ownership the
Madisonian says:
"There Is nothing In democratic
precedent, teachings, doctrines ten cts
or In the writings of It's most eminent
leaders, favoring governmental owner
ship OF public utilities, and nothing
new has arisen that should cause the
party TO depart from the teachings of
It's founders. II municipal ownership

lighting only and water works, 1t
would have something TO recommend
IL. But the danger lies In our inabil-
ity to conline IL to these things. When
we go beyond them there Is no limit to
the extent to which radicals want it
carried. Some would stop Mt sewers,
water and light; others want to include
street railways; others, telephone and
telegraph business, and then there are
others who would include railroads,
meat markets and other enterprises
