IN LAND ENTRY
Government Brings Suit to
Cancel a Carbon County
Coal Patent.

THEN TURNED IT OVER TO
PLEASANT VALLEY CONCERN.

suit was filed in the United States
circuit court by the United States gov
eminent against the Pleasant Valley Coal
company, TO secure setting aside of deed
to coal lands which the plaintiff alleges
were secured by fraudulent means.
The land is in Carbon county jand COM
priseS 100 acres. The complaint says that
on April l. 1899, when the government was
in possession of the land, the company,
through w. F.. Cotton, it's president and
general manager; Robert Forester, chief
engineer, and William II. Bird. its at
torney, conspired to obtain a patent on
the land by fraudulent means. 1t is
charged that the defendants made out an
made an entry on the land as non-mineral
bearing property.
1t is alleged that the 1920 that Miss
kimball paid for the land at $50 an acre
came from the offices of the railroad
company. The receiver OF the land office
did not know this and secured the patent
by the usual means from Washington.
The complaint says that Forester acted
as her attorney and induced her to act
as she did and drew up the necessary
alleges that Bessie Kimball decided the
land over to the coal company three days
after the entry was perfected and received
compensation of $50. The government
asks that the deed be cancelled and de-
clared void, also that the land be re-
verted to the United States by the deci-
sion of the court.
The complaint is signed by Attorney
General Moody, by whose direction the
name of District Attorney Hiram K.
Booth was also signed to the document.
The government has been prosecuting a
number of cases in the land office, but
this is the first one in Utah to be taken
into the federal courts.

CLEARED BY THE
COURT MARTIAL
Admiral ROjestvensky Will Not
Be Shot Because the Fleet
Was Whipped.

Cronstadt, Russia, July 10.-Admi-
raj Rojestvensky, whose trial on the
charge of surrendering to the enemy
after the battle of the Sea of Japan
began before a court-martial here July
4, was acquitted today after the court
had deliberated for nearly ten hours.
Four officers of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Bedovi, who were placed on
trial with the admiral, were found
guilty of having premeditatively sur
rendered the Bedovi and all four were
condemned to death by shooting, But,
on account of extenuating circum-
stances, the emperor will be requested
to commute the sentences of the four
officers to dismissal from the service
and to be deprived of certain rights
which they would otherwise enjoy
+ st. Petersburg, July 10.-The full re-
port of the Cronstadt court-martial
shows that Admiral Rojestvensky was
acquitted on the ground that he was
not in his full senses and therefore was
not accountable for what tranSpired at
the time of the surrender.
Some of the officers who were tried
with Rojestvensky were acquitted, their
guilt not being proved.
The recommendations for mercy in
the case of Captain De Colongue, chief
of ROjestyensky's staff; Captain Bar
anoff of the torpedo boat destroyer Be-
dow, Fillipovsky and LeOntief who
were found guilty and sentenced to be
shot, were in accordance with the reg
ulationS and based on the physical and
mental decentralization produced by the
long voyage and shock of the disaster
in battle. They were also credited with
a desire TO save the life of Rojestven-
sky
