TWO BUTLER BOYS
IN TROUBLE.
Federal Grand Jury Returned
Indictments Against B. F.
JeteT and C. VantTees.
CHARGES CONSPIRACY IN
LAND FRAUDS.

A deputy u. S. Marshal came to
Butler on Thursday and arrested
Frank Jeter and c. Vantrees, on an
indictment returned by the Federal
grand jury, charging them with con-
spiracy against the government In
the Rosebud reservation, South
Dakota. They were taken to Kan
sas City and gave bond for their sp-
pearsnce In the sum of 81, 900.
The Indictment charges that Jeter
and Vantrees, In connection with one
H. Clay Wyatt, a land agent at
Bonesteele, s. D., used fraudulent
means in obtaining powers OF at
torney from twelve old soldiers to
file declatory statements In the land
Office, and that the soldiers were
persuaded to make entry for the pur-
pose OF relinquishing their rights for
a consideration. Vantrees it ap-
pears acted as a clerk In Wyatt's Of
flee and OF course through him much
OF the correspondence was had.
Jeter claims that his only connec-
tion was that In his capacity as
notary public the acknowledgements
were taken before him. He claims
that all he realized was his notary
fees, which amounted to less than
thirty d ollars. From all we can
CASHIER 1t appears that Wyatt was
the real criminal and what Jeter and
Vantrees did was without thought
OF criminal action. Both realize that
they have technically violated the
law but without criminal intent. We
understand that the least penalty
Tor this offence Is fine OF one thous-
and dollars, or jail sentence. Our
people hope that the boys will get
out OF their trouble with the least
trouble and expense possible.
