IMPORTANT SUIT IN
LAND SALE
CASES
Attorney General Takes Step
to Test Transfer of
Public Lands.
ACTING GOVERNOR WANTS
A LEGAL DECISION

Santa Fe, n. NJ, July 16.-(Spec-
ial. by direction of the acting gov
ernor, Attorney General George w.
Prichard has filed suit in the district
court for Rio Arriba county, to annul
and set aside the deeds TO about
by the territory from the lands do
mated by the United States to the
extent of 100000 acres, for the i'm
provement of the Rio Grande.
The land in question was sold in
tracts of 100 acres to Il. A. Schom-
berg and L. c. Graden, of Trinidad
Colorado. The lands have since been
disposed of to the Rio Grande Luln-
Der company, which has been cutting
the timber for some time.
Alleges Illegality.
The contention set up by the ter
ritory is that the transaction was IL
legal and fraudulent as contracts OF
agreements had been made by the
purchasers before and at the time
the deeds were delivered for the sale
and transfer of the 100 acre tracts
to Schomberg and Graden, who af-
terwards transferred them to the Rio
Grande Lumber company of which
they are stockholders and officers.
That under the laws of congress
making these donations of land for
territorial public Institutions and 9TH
er public purposes such action and
secret understanding and agreement
made these transactions fraudulent
and null and void. As
Injunction Also Wanted.
An injunction is also asked by the
territory restraining the defendants
from cutting any more timber oil
proceeding with the manufacture
from timber so cut or in any way in
terfering with the land in question
until the suit Is determined.
This action is taken by the terri
torial authorities in order to deter
mine this important question, as
about 10000 acres of such public do
nation land have been disposed OF
during the past five years and 1t Is
alleged in some cases under similar
circumstances.
Acting Governor Reynolds and At
torney General Prichard are dete:
mined to secure a legal decision.

Boise, Idaho, July l6.-C. w. AL
Ter, former ticket agent at Cripple
Creek, who has been arrested on a
charge of perjury and was locked up
in the county jail last night in de-
fault of $1,000 bail, will be given a
preliminary hearing today. He in
sists that his testimony in the Hay
wood case was true but admits that
he may have been mistaken in dates.
DIR. /. l.. McGee, another witness
for the defense, who was arrested at
Spokane Sunday reached Boise this
morning. He is a man of means and
easily gave $1,000 bond County At
torney Koelsch says he has ample
proof of the charges in both cases.
Impeachment OF McGee.
A. c. Cogswell, of Wallace Idaho,
was called IN the Haywood trial this
morning to further impeach DR.. Nc
Gee. MCGEE testified as to certain
dates, fixing the date of the conven-
ton in Wallace. CogSwell, who was
permanent chairman of the conven-
tion, gave different dates from those
named by McGee.
While Cogswell was on the stand,
the state offered in evidence a copy
, of the Idaho Tribune, published at
Wallace, and identined as the official
organ of the local union of the West
ern Federation of Miners at that
time.
I Attorneys Use Personalities.
The paper contained a three coll
umn account of the blowing up of the
! Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill, which
| the state desired to place before the
| jury in answer to Attorney Darrow'S
| opening Statement that the defense
would show that the crowd, which
attacked the mill, was an inorganic
ed mob. issal sn AIk&
In an argument which arose over
| the admissibility of the newspaper
| Attorney Hawley, for the state, and
! Richardson, for the defense, had a
sharp clash and personalities were
| the trial started. Judge Wood took
| the matter under advisement indi-
eating that he probably will not ad-
nit the paper.
Says Militia Was Necessary.
A. Il. Holman, mine superintend-
ent of Colorado, now manager of the
| Golden Cycle, and former manager
of the Vindicator mine, was called
| to contradict statements made by
Witness Wood, who described the
condition of the sixth level of the
Vindicator mine Immediately after
the explosion.
Holman was exceedingly circum-
stancial and careful in his descTip-
| ton, using a chart to point out the
parts of the mine he described.
In cross examination Richardson
| went closely into the situation in
| Colorado during the labor troubles.
Holman supported the contention
that the presence Of the militia was
necessary.

the past week, broke camp at noon

Miners Prepare for War.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 27.-Thousands
of miners from all over the Pittsburg
district are taking part in a great raj
ly of the United Mine Workers at Cal
ifornia, Penn, today, when it is expec-
ted the first gun will be fired in the
campaign for increased wages which
will culminate when the operators and
miners line up for their conference
next January. All the mines in the
vicinity have closed down in order
that the men may properly celebrate
at California today, as well as confer
on plans for what may be the coming
battle All of the officers of the dis
trict, including President Francis Fee
han, will address the assembled coal
diggers. A campaign of organization
throughout the country will soon be
started, and special attention will be
paid to securing new recruits for the
United Mine Workers in western Pa,
and West Virginia, the storm centers
of the agitation. 1t is the intention
to bring all the miners possible into
the organization and thus present a
united front to the operators at the
January conference. Whether the op-
orators will be willing to pay the in
crease the workers say they will de-
mand is very doubtful, and a long
struggle for supremacy may result.
The operators have declared for a re-
vival of the two-year agreement, but
as the union officials say they also
favor this method, there will be no
split in settling this question.

Close of Fridays Argument.

Boise, Idaho, July Ex-senator Bo-
rah declared tnat Orchard left Den
yer with crime in his heart. Pettiboae
he said helped him pack the utensils
of murder in his trunk. why was not
Pettibone here to deny it? His si-
lence," declared Borah, ''fs confes-
sion of guilt. His absence is absolute
corroboration of Orchard"
Taking up the question of personal
motive in the murder of Governor
Steunenberg, Borah showed to the ju-
ry the deed by which Orchard parted
mine IA months before General Mer-
riam and the negro troops marched
into Couer D'Ale1e. Borah took up,
one by one, the witnesses for tae de-
tense, who he said. corroborated Or
cnard and proved a conspiracy be-
cause they had covered and protected
Orchard up to the time he confessed
against Haywood.
OF Gen. Eugene Engly, former at
tor1ey general of Colorado, one of
the defense's witnesses, Borah said
he was an anarchist. with such men
as Engly in office, 1 am not surprised
that Colorado has had hell within ner
borders for the past two years" The
senator next read to the jury articles
denouncilg Steunenberg in the Min
ers Magazine. There is much talk
and armament of counsel about indus
trial war. There is an industrial war,
but it is for you men to determine
whether Industrial warfare shall be
carried out on the principle of muir
der. The defense tells you that out
nothing here to prove conspiracy.
What more do you want? We put Or
chard and Simpkins and Meyer and
Haywood and Pettibone together il
Denver. Now watcn them as they
move to the scene of Frank Steunen-
berg's murder"
Briefly Borah showed the friend
ship of the quintet. Follow Orchard,
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone from
Denver to the death of Steune1berg
,
watch their actions, and 1 say that
an absolute and concerted conspiracy
has been proven. They killed Steun-
enberg to show the world that they
never forgot an enemy. Where is Pet
tibone? Afraid to speak. Where is
Jack Simpkins, VINO was at Caldwell
with Orchard, and could tell so much?
He is in a corner, afraid to come and
say a word for a life long friend"
Answering at great length the theo-
ry that the attempts on the life of
Fred Bradley at San Francisco were
accidents, Borah pointed out that the
latter moved directly from Denver to
San Francisco with the movement of
Orchard. He ridiculed the theory of
gas explosion, "and," cried Borah,
when Orchard gets ready to leave
San Francisco, where does he go?
Back to Denver to get his money.
The deed was done, and the pay was
due"
