 Washington, June 30.-The post
 master general has nipped in the
 bud with fraud order a big land
 lottery scheme known as the Siloam
 Springs Colonization Company, with
 headquarters in Kansas City, Mo,
 and Sloan Springs. Mo. w. H. Bra
 zier is at the head of the proposition.
 Lands, town lots, an artesian well
 represented as capable of furnishing
 water sufficient to supply a city of
 10000 inhabitants, but Is proven to have gone dry several times a year; l5 iron mines and ten orchards figure in he alleged assets of the concern.
 Brasier was cited to show cause why fraud order should not be is- sued against him but failed to ap- pear. The scheme he has been con ducting was investigated by a Missou- ri postofficc inspector. whose report the order was issued upon, denying the company the further use of the mails in promoting his scheme.
 According to the inspectors report, Brazier has been selling interests in a pretended townsite and coloniza- tion scheme. He pretcnded that the colonization company owns 10000 acres of land at Siloam Springs, in Howell county, Mo, which he had subdivided into townsite of 1,647 lots and small farms.
 He pretended that he was selling an equal number of undivided inter- ests in the total acreage at the uni form price of $40 each. Tn his lit erature he represented that each stockholder would be entitled to one unit of the whole, which might be disposed of or partition, according to the plat held in common, mines. lots, lands and timber sold. not con- trary to the law, to be decided upon by majority of votes of the stock holders at their first meeting"
 "As matter of fact" says an at torney for the department, it was the intention to conduct a lottery in the allotment of the different tracts among the various purchasers While the literature was so phrased as to represent that such allotment will be according to law as matter of fact, the purchasers had led to believe that it was a lottery, and they had subscribed on that understanding. The scheme is, to all intents and pur- poses, lottery"
 The attorney says further that Brazier resorted to the most fragrant misrepresentations." He represented that the property is appraised at over s750.000, which was gross exag- geration and fraudulent, as the tracts could be duplicated in the same coun- ties for not over g an acre. This company has been retailing the lands for $20 an acre. Their claims to own. ership to the land is denied by the authorities, who state that the com pany had simply an option, and there was no security for those who had paid in their money in case the scheme failed. Brazier claimed that the brother. Frank Brazier, treasurer of the order, would refund the money in that event. but Frank Brazier disclaimed any connection with the scheme, and said that his name had been used without his per mission.
 Brazier was arrested on May II and held in $l.000 bond for the October federal grand jury. Meanwhile the great colonization" scheme has fall en through, and the stockholders have principally been found to be holding the bag.
