IN LAND FRAUD CASES

Boise, Idaho, March 10. --Rumors
are rife tonight that there will be
some startling sensations as a result
of the sitting of the United States
grand jury beginning tomorrow.
What these matters are is not
known, but there are may surmises.
Hints are given that people high up
in the social scale will be involved.
There are cases pending in which per-
sons are under indictment for alleged
timber land fraud in Washington
county, but it seems probable these
will not be brought to trial. Colon
ell A. R. Green, special agent of the
interior department, has been here
for several weeks and it is apparent
that the sensations promised are para
TALLY the result of his work, 1t j.
known that he has been investigating
complaints made by contractors on
reclamation work, but the under
standing is 1t was another department
matter the contractors complaining
they have not been treated fairly.
One Of the hints given out is in re-
lation to the section line surveys for
the government. Another Is that
land matters in the vicinity of Sbo
shone falls are to be investigated.
There lie q crooked section line there
which throws the falls into another
section than that in which it should
be embraced. There are other rumors
Involving names of prominent per
sons. The names Of the grand jurors
called to report when court meets to-
morrow have not been given out, &
circumstance that is rather interest

MOVER TRIAL
BEGINS APRIL Is
Defense to Make Strong Plea for
Dismissal of Cases

Boise, Idaho, March 10 Z. f.
Richardson of Denver and Fred Mil
Ter of Spokane of counsel for Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, Western
Federation of Miners leaders, accused
of the MURDER of Ex-Governor Steun-
enberg have arrived and matters be-
ginning to shape up respecting the
forthcoming trials. The prisoners
will be taken to Caldwell Tuesday
and then the first foTmalities
will take place. The first on
the program will be the determine.
ton of who is to hear the cases.
Judge E. L. Bryan stated the other
day when the cases we're called that
he would call in Judge Fremont
Wood of the Boise district to try
Harry Orchard, but no statemen has
been made as to the other cases. 1t
is thought he will call in Judge
Wood to try them. If he should de
termine to sit himself, argument Of
the motion to dismiss will proceed at
once, but if he announces deter
mination to call in another judge it
will require day or several days to
get the new man on the bench.
The ground upon which the defense
will ask for dimissal is the allegation
that an appeal in 'habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in the United States circuit
court was not sufficient cause for de-
laying the trials. If new judge he
called in the defense will then take
up and urge it's motion for change
of venue. 1t is the belief now that
the defense will not interpose any
further dilatory tactics. 1t lie said
the interests that are backing the de-
Tense are anxious to get to trial.
The understanding is that April 10 is
likely to be the date for the trials to
begin. There is an understanding be-
tween the attorneys that that day shall
be the time if it is satisfactory to the
court.

The increase in the number Of

take still further steps to prevent a

down in the city yesterday afternoon
and the Saturday night special train
between Wallace and Burk has been
cancelled.
Five or six teams have been put to
work this morning by A. M. Hord Il
Son, who hold the contract for the
city scavenge work, to clean up all
refuse in the streets and alleys.
Householders have been requested to
assist in this work as far as possible.
Those whose premises are cleaned

So far no action has been taken
with regard to the saloons, but it is
certain that if the disease continues
to spread these will be the next to be
closed. Last night the Salvation
Army open air meeting was stopped
and the protest meeting regarding
the Meyer Haywood and Pettibone
cases has been cancelled.

sugar beets this year, and has par

summer.
MIR. Corbin has visited and exam
ined the property carefully and stated
that no other place in the Inland Em
pire is better adapted to the raising
Of sugar beets than the Hayden lake
irrigated tracts. The proposition
that is being laid before the private
owners by Corbin through the Malloy
Bros, who own much land 10 this
district, is that all owners who are
unable to look after the raising OF
the crops, will be furnished with
seed, have the water maintenance
of s2. 80 per acre, paid, and the land
plowed and put in condition for the
sowing and care Of the crop. They
also agree to haul the product 70 the
electric station at Hayden lake and
pay the owner 1925 per ton for the
beets From the gross returns the
company Is to deduct approximately
