College Glee Club Next Week.
Next Monday evening. April 2, the
Lake Forest Glee club will sing in the
Broadway Presbyterian church at a
banquet given by the mems league of
the church. The arrangements for the
concert were made some time since.
Already there have been many appli-
cations for seats at the banquet, and
The indications are that the college boys
will be accorded an enthusiastic re-
ception in this city. The 25 young
men composing the club are on their
spring tour and are said to be a very
versatile lot of entertainers The club
has always been noted for its COM
mendable features which this year are
spoken of more highly than ever. VIII
liam Phillips, whose fine baritone voice
has won him widespread recognition,
will appear as a soloist. Perry II. Ste
vens, leader of the glee club and a tai
ented violinist, will contribute the in
Strumental solos. The comedy ele-
nent is supplied by the 'ragtime quar-
tet' with their instrumental and vocal
pictures of plantation life, and three
child elocutiOniStS, who have worked
up a unique feature which is a guar
anteed laugh-provoker. The readers,
Messrs. Munger and Hopes, are both
experienced entertainers and know
Well the wants of an audience. Be
sides these features are the double
quartet and the string quartet, which
furnish selections warranted to please
lnunr Of Tho
rousing campus songs and some of the
simpler classics give good scope for
the varied accomplishments of the
club. William B. Marquis, son of Rev.
DR.. w. S. Marquis, is member of the
club. The college boys come highly
recommended and are said to have one
of the most original and varied pro
grams offered by any glee club.

FIRE AT EDDYVILLE.

Eddyville, Ia, May 21.-The stable
used by the Eddyville Horse Co., and
located back of ~. B. Jager's livery
barn, caught fire at about $3.50 O'Clock
Sunday morning and burned to the
ground. Blu. for the efficient work OF
the fire department, assisted by the
bucket brigade, the livery barn would
also have burned, as it was on fire.
Three horses which were in the horse
barn escaped during the excitement,
but were soon captured in different
parts Of town. The horses and bug
gies were hastily removed from tho
livery stable, and the harness stock
was taken out Of Grattan's harness
shop. The postofice authorities also
placed the mail in sacks ready for In.
slant removal from the postoffice, lest
the fire spread across the street. The
barn which burned belonged to Cliff
ford Decker, and the loss was small,
as the structure was an old one, and
but little of value remained after the
three valuable horses were freed. The
cause Of the fire is a mystery.

FRAUDULENT ENTRY
OF LAND ALLEGED
INDICTMENT CHARGES coNsPI-
RAcY TO GET TIMBER TRACT.
PROMINENT MEN ACCUSED
Federal and Local ofRceholders Are
Said to Have Induced Penniless
Persons to File on VAL
liable Claims.

Portland, Ore. May 21.-Details of
the land fraud indictments returned
by the federal grand jury April 9, and
involving prominent men of Los An
geles, San Francisco and southwestern
Oregon, were made public Sunday by
United States District Attorney w. A.
Bristol.
The property alleged to have been
fraudulently secured lies on the banks
Of Lobster and Eucher creeks in south
western Curry county, Oregon, and
consists of 5000 acres, practically all
In one tract OF fine timber land.
The Indictment charges conspiracy
to defraud the government OF timber
land by securing entrymen to file upon
the land with the intention of dispos-
ing of It to alleged conspirators, Rich
ard D. Jones and William H. Smith, Of
San Francisco; Jeremiah Humely, for
mer United States commissioner in
Curry county, Oregon; A. s. Johnston,
formerly deputy county clerk of Curry
county, Oregon; William 7. Kerr, of
Coquille, Oregon; John r. Miller, of
Port Oxford, Oregon; Warren Gillelen
and R. W. Kenny, respectively presi-
dent and cashier of the Broadway Bank
and Trust company Of Los Angeles; G..
l. Stearn, formerly president, and ia
cob G. Cross, director Of the Pacific
Lumber company of Los Angeles; Da-
vid M. Goodwin, M. D., and A. H. He'd
derby, M. D., Of Los Angeles; Richard
Hynes, M. M. Riley and Lee r. Ayers,
stockholders of Los Angeles; w. D.
Gould, attorney Of Los Angeles, and
F. w. Dennis, broker and real estate
dealer OF San Francisco.
Details Of Alleged Scheme.
The indictment asserts that the Pa
cific Furniture and Lumber company.
which is alleged to have been the ac-
tive agency through which the alleged
conspiracy was perfected, was organ
lied at Los Angeles by Messrs. Cross,
Goodwin, Stearns, Miller, Kerr and
Jones.
The indictment declares that Smith,
Jones and Dennis conducted the San
Francisco end Of the alleged scheme.
AS blind, according to the indict-
ment, the Pacific Furniture and Lum-
Der company established and operated
saw mills at Eureka. Cal. Port Oxford
and Frankfort, Ore. 1t was their
scheme, says the Indictment, to send
to Nebraska, Kansas, California and to
parts of Oregon and induce men to
come to the places at which their mills
were In operation under the pretense
that there was an opportunity of en-
ployment in the mills. 1t is charged
that when these men arrived they were
told that there was no work for them
and that when they finally became
penniless and reckless of the conse-
quences the Pacific Furniture and
Lumber company caused them to be
approached and induced to fraudulent
ly file on timber lands desired by the
company.
The Broadway Bank and Trust COM
pany is charged with having advanced
money to further the ends of the al
legged scheme and Huntley and John
ston are charged with knowing that
the entries were made with fraudulent
intent at the time. The indictment
contains none of the names of the en-
trymen.

The Perkins managers are feeling
greatly 'elated over the result and
they say the anti-Cummins list of del
egates has reached sos, and by next
Saturday night they expect that the
governor will be in the minority.
Only Tama county was carried fol
Cummins. This has been conceded
and no particular work was done ir
that county.
The victory won by the Perkins
fighters in Wapello county is source
of great qualification, and there was
much rejoicing at Perkins headquar

The Victory in WapelIo.
Ottumwa, Iowa, May 21.-WapellC
county went for Perkins Saturday at
ternoon in spite of the fact that the
Cummins faction led by Major T. P
Spilman created a pandemonium that
lasted fully thirty minutes. They re
fused for that time to give ear to the
chairman, George H. Dickens, and
finally held rump convention on the
same floor with the regular conven
ton, bowling and yelling and Great
ing such disorder that the regular
I convention delegates simply sat in
their seats and waited until the noise
had partially quieted down, and ther
went ahead and finished their con

When the Cummins forces saw
they were defeated IN either case
Major Spilman rallied them about
him, and they elected Emery as chair
man and proceeded, without any re
gard for the regular convention, tc
hold noisy, bedlam-like convention
on the same floor. They empowered
Spilman to name delegation in
structed for Cummins, and kept UP
meanwhile such a pandemonium that
no one could be heard a distance Of
three feet. The Perkins delegates
continued their convention in as or.
derby manner as possible and named
their delegations in legal manner.
After empowering ]. A. Ballard to
write resolutions, and after instrUctiug
the state delegates for Perkins, they
adjourned amid great enthusiasm.

County Convention.

Ottumwa, May 19.-3:40 p. m.-The
Wapello county republican conyen-
ton this afternoon is the most stormy
affair of the kind ever held in Ottum-
wa. Despite the desperate efforts Of
the Cummins faction to gain control
by gag rule, the stanu patters won out
easily in the temporary organization.
The complexion of the committee on
credentials which is still out is 16 for
Perkins and for Cummins. Cat calls

James P. Beckwourth was born in
Fredericksburg, Va, in 1898" said Mr..
BOgue. His father was a soldier in
the revolutionary war, and the son
was Of an adventurous spirit. He be
came an explorer, trappeT and pros
pectOr, was we'll known to many army
officers in the west. and in 1849 found
himself in Sonora, Cal. During one of
his prospecting expeditions he discov-
cred BeckwOUrth pass. He conceived
the idea of extending the Mahysville
road eastward through the pass, and
headed the first emigTant train that
went through the pass. In subsequent
years the name of BeckWOurth pass be-
came corrupted into Beckwith, the
name being enormously associated with
that of Lieutenant Beckwith of the
army. It ought to be Beckwourth, and
if I have anything to do with it the
name Of the pass will hencefourth be

COAL SHORTAGE
IS BAD AS EVER
Only 1900 Tons Arrive in Salt Lake
in Twenty-Four Hours, Despite
Cold Weather.
ARE SHIPPING TO MONTANA
WYOMING MINES FURNISHING
SHELTERS WITH FUEL.

The coal situation has not material
ly improved. Forty-nine cars Of coal
arrived in Salt Lake yesterday, but
they were used up so quickly that by
nightfalI the dealers who handled
them were as short as ever of a fuel
supply.
Of the coal which came in yesterday,
Grande from the mines of the Utah
in over the Oregon Short Line from
the Wyoming fields. No greater
amount is expected today. Each car
averages about thirty tons, so that the
amount received yesterday was a lit
tie more than $500 tons.
Dealers say that the major portion
Of the Wyoming product is being
shipped to the Montana smelters this
season, and that this fact affords one
reason for the shortage in Salt Lake.
Hitherto the Montana smelters have
been accustomed to lay in a large fuel
supply during the summer months
when the mines were not busy, but this
year the coal mine owners made no
special rate for coal purchased during
the summer months, and winter found
the smelters without a large supply on
hand.
There is no prospect that the Salt
Lake shortage will be removed It is
probable that for several weeks re-
tail dealers will continue to dole out
pro rata among their customers the
meagre supply which they are able to
obtain
