PUTER AND M'KlNLEY MISSING
Men Convicted of Completely Ina
Oregon Land Frauds Cannot
BE Found.

WASHINGTON, Dec 15.-The Depart
ment of Justice and the state of Oregon
are much concerned regarding the where
abouts of S. A. d. Puter and Horace q.
Mckinley, both of whom were convicted
in Portland. Ore. in connection with the
extensive land frauds in that state. In
their case sentence was deferred providing
they would furnish the government all in
formation they could in regard to the land
swindes. 1t was agreed with them that
II they withheld nothing the other cases
against them would not be pressed. Ac-
cording to Special Assistant Attorney
General Francis J. Heney of the Depart
ment of Justice who is now in this city,
they were needed particularly In the case
against Representative Ringer Hermann.
Mr. Heney further said that through in
formation impaired by them the govern
ment would recover over 100000 worth Of
lands disposed of by the various parties
to the alleged frauds. Since their trial
and conviction, however. they have been
charged with implication in frauds in state
school lands by which eastern bankers
were swindled out of thousands of dollars
and that on this account their apprehen-
sion is likewise desired by the state author
tiles.
The last heard from either of the men
was about the middle OF September. Putcr
reported himself as being In Chicago and
Mckinley sent word that he and his wife
were in Seattle About that time the case
against Hermann was coming up for trial
and Puter wired Mr.. Heney If he could
not postpone the trial until September 90
This was agreeable to the government 6
attorney, who, however, in the meantime
had decided still further to put off the
Hermann trial But all trace of the two

Letter of Governor Mickey.
County Attorney Hess received yesterday
morning the letter from Governor Mickey
of Nebraska in which the latter stated his
reasons for not honorng the requisition
for Pat Grove at this time. Mr.. Hess was
not disappointed. as he had not anticipated
| that the Nebraska authorities would re-
linquish their claim on Grove until after
they had got through with him on the
charge in connection with the KIDNAPPING Of
young Cudahy.
Mr.. Hess at once replied to Governor
Mickey's letter, suggesting that the requsi-
| ton be honored and sent to the judge of
| the criminal court in Omaha or to the
sheriff of Douglas county to be delivered
| to the sheriff of Pottawattamie county If
It became apparent that Grove would be

Despite the assertions of Pat Grove that
| the charge against him in Council Bluffs
| has been trumped up, County Attorney
Hess states that he believes the evidence
| he has is sufficient to convict Grove of the
| street car holdup, and he sees no reason
why Governor Mickey should not honor
the requisition when the proper time comes.
| Arthur Levi, who bound over to the
| sra I'd jury under bonds of 81 900 for alleged

berry, secured his release from the county

though a second information charging Lew
with completely in the street car holdur
had been filed some time ago in Justice
Gardeners court, no attempt to re-arrest
him was made yesterday by the sheriff's
force, County Attorney Hess being of the
opinion that cash bond of $1,000 would in
