PUTER is SENTENCED.
Two Years in JAN and Pay Fine OF
$500.

Portland. July AFTER exhausting
every legal means to prevent the pass
ing and execution of sentence upon
him for completely in Oregon land
frauds, S. AID. Puter. the king of the
land fraud ring, was last evening sem
fenced by Judge Wolverton to serve
two years in the county Jail of Multi
nomah county, and to pay fine of
$500 in addition.
Puter's attorneys had hoped to Sc
cure a stay of sentence on some legal
technicality and have worked faith
fully to keep their client out of prison.
The land thief was unnerved by the
sentence. He expected only a fine.
which could be paid in cash and thus
the disgrace OF a Jail sentence would
be avoided.
1t is not probable that any further
legal steps will be taken in Puter's de-
fense, as It is thought he is tired of
the trial and will at once enter upon
his sentence.

crime in escaping. but sentenced ARM

Funston says. armstrong has been
in prison Is years for offenses against
women. He is probably the most dss-

mands on CoIOrado's Capital.

Denver, July THE Denver Union
Stockyards company will enlarge and
improve the stockyards so that the
capacity will be nearly doubled The
capital stock of the company has been
increased from s75O.0OO to s1,5O0, 900,
which indicates that the company is
prepared to expend s750.000 in car
rying out its plans. President Edward
Tilden and Secretary Albert H. We'd
der, jr., signed the amended articles
of incorporation required to increase
the capital stock.
Much of the livestock of the west
is now coming to the Denver stock
yards. and the growth of the packing
industry in Denver makes it impera-
tive for the stockyards company to en-
large its plant. Additional pens and
sheds will be built, and it is probable
that new ground will be acquired.
