BANKERS HELD FOR FRAUDS.
Wealthy Lumbermen Arrested in Orc.
gan Land Deals.

Oshkosh. Wis, May Alive lumber
men and bankers, representing an ag-
Bregate wealth far In excess Of $1,000.-
600, were arrested here yesterday by
federal authorities on the charge Of
conspiracy to defraud the general gov
eminent by means of alleged land
frauds in the state of Oregon. The
men arrested are Leander Choate, Jas,
Matt Bray. Benjamin Doughty, James
Doughty and Thomas DAILY.
Bray Is president of the Bray &
Choate Lumber Company. and Choate
is treasurer. The Doughtys are re-
tired lumbermen. DAILY Is cashier Of
the Commercial National bank and
all of the quintet are. large stockhold-
ers in that institution.
Under Bonds OF $4,000.
The men were arrested by Deputy
United States Marshal Durbin, who
was accompanied by Assistant District
Attorney Henning. They were all ar
raigned before United States Court
Commissioner ID. e. Mcdonald yes
terday afternoon except Mr.. Bray
who is a paralytic. and was unable to
appear. Each was placed under bonds
of $1,000 and the hearing adjourned
to Friday. May II.
Besides the above defendants, war
rants have been issued for August
Anderson and Joseph Black, of Sha-
wano.
The charge contained in the federal
grand jury indictment under which the
men are being prosecuted is that of
conspiracy to defraud the federal gov
ernment by having furnished money
to Oregon parties to make. entries and
buy homesteads In the states named.
The indictment describes the land
and AYERS that the alleged crime was
committed between the years Of 1909
and 1903.
The men indicted maintain that they
never owned the lands described In the
Indictment, never had anything to do
with them and that they never owned
any lands within forty miles of those
in connection with which the fraud IS
alleged. The belief here is that the
accused have been made the victims of
Oregan land sharks. Oshkosh capital-
list, including the quintet named above,
have dealt largely in Oregon and
Washington lands in recent years, but
they have always done it thru third
parties.

San Francisco, May 4.-The army
plished wonders in the way Of straight-s
ening out the badly mixed-up condi-
tion OF affairs. In an interview on the
subject today, General Funston said:
This is the largest rescue work
ever attempted by an army. In the
east they speak OF the. fire as the
greatest catastrophe OF the age, but
those who have not been engaged In
the work OF relief on the ground. do not
yet realize that 100000 people made
homeless and pennfless In day have
been fed and sheltered for two weeks,
and no man or woman or child has
gone hungry. The relief committee has
wrought wonders, but in the end it
must be admitted that without the
army 1t would have been impossible.
Every quartermaster's store house
in the country was enptied into ex-;
press trains In day. For the hrst few
days tho tent cities that sprung up In
the Preside were without order or arr
rangement. and many OF the homeless
were crowded toge ther In wooden bar
racks. The conditions resulting were
not sanitary. and yesterday they were
moved into the city of Sibley tents.
which had come by express from the
east. Possibly the only problem which,
now remains for the army In this par
ticular camp Is to fix day when u
shall come down and the campers res
turn to normal conditions In the city,
Rapid progress Is being made M
the medical supply depot at the PreSi-4
dio, which will soon be able to furnish
the hospitals Of the city with all drugs
necessary for treatment Of the stck.
In the matter Of outside relief, the
Southern Pacific officials state that un
to z yesterday morning 1866 car loads
OF supplies had been delivered In San
Francisco from all sections Of the
country. The Southern Pacific people
are OF the opinion that additional 900
car loads Of various kinds Of supplies
from the east will reach here during
the next four or five days"

The old gentleman looked at him for

which the drummer never forgot.
Perhaps you are right, sir" he said,
with the utmost politeness, as he took
the lines. Then he reached for the
whip in the whip socket, and, leaning
over the dashboard, he lashed first

Are you afraid, sir?" he demanded
turning upon the drummer, but be-
