HYDE-BENSON PACT
Is Barred AT TRIAL
Witness Testifies Joint Amounts
We're Kept and Offices
Linked by Phones

WASHINGTON. April S.-Interesting
testimony was given today IN the Hyde
Benson-Dimond-6ch land fraud
case by Walter X. Stack, who was In
the employ of Hyde and Benson several
years. Stack testified in regard to the
relations existing between Hyde and
Benson In the conduct OF their business
and also told of the work done by
Dimond and Schneider, the other de-
PENDANTS.
According TO the witness g joint ac-
count was kept of the money and lands
handled by Hyde and Benson. He said
their Offices. which were within half a
square of each other, were connected
by private telephones. He said that
Dimond was employed by Hyde as his
confidential man. Stack testified that
Schneider had been sent by Hyde to
Oregon TO secure school lands. The
government drew from the witness the
statement that he was sent TO Tucson,
Ariz., by Hyde to endeavor to get
Schneider TO withhold further informa-
ten from the government after he had
already made partial confession to an
agent OF the land Office.
The government played one of its
strongest cards when several letters
passing between Dimond and Hyde
shortly after the scandal was un-
earthed were submitted to the jury
These letters disclosed the fact that
bitter enmity existed between Hyde
and Schneider. Schneider formerly was
employed by Hyde in San Francisco
but they had quarreled and later
Schneider told all he knew OF the al
legged fraudulent schemes which re-
suited IN the investigation and the in
dictmsnt Of the four men.
Hyce wrote TO Dimond, his attorney
in Washington, under date of January
I6, 1908:

comes in than we are now. It may be

Chicago Boxer Still Rules
Favorite Over Jimmy Britt

Paoky Mcfarland continues to rule
to 10 public choice over Jimmy

afternoon at Coffroth's Mission street

vorite in his ring engagements
The followers of boxing here md II
difficult to make a choice between the
two Iightweights. Each has shown 10
good advantage in the preliminary
work in the gymnasium and they VIII
have nothing to desire In the matter OF
condition. Mcfarland has come down
in weight Just as he planned when he
commenced training. 1t was his Idea
at that time to quit his work today
pound overweight and to dry out that
extra pound. He weighed 1S4 pounds
Yesterday, SO he Is at the mark he de-
sired.
He did not intend to work hard yes
terday, but Sam Berger. John Clark
eddie Graney and others were on hand.
and he did little more than he orig
inaIIy intended. Among the items or
his work was a handball game with
SAND Berger, in which he outpointed
the latter. Mcfarland will do but lit
tie work today, hardly more than
enough to keep his condition at It's
highest point
outcome of the fight from the day he
made the match and he has lost none
of that confidence as the time draws
near. Like Britt. he wants TO quit the
ring IL he can not win this time de-
cisively.
The air of confidence which is in
the air at the Colma training quarters
is also felt over at Britt's camp. The

lose He was visited by Referee Jack
Welsh yesterday and they talked over
the rules. Welsh has refereed several
of Britts fights. so they understand
one another. Welsh was impressed
with Britt's appearance Britt does not
look drawn and his eyes are clear and
all his movements are snappy and gin
gerry. Britt is enthusiastic over his
condition and is advising his friends to
have a bet down on him. He weighed
a fraction over 1873 pounds yesterday
and expects to wake up tomorrow
morning a half pound under the re-
quired weight. This will allow him to
have a light breakfast before coming to
this city to weigh in officially for the
fight. He did no indoor work yester-
day. confining his exercise to the road
He will be out again today and will do
some sprinting to sharpen up his wind.
He did not have any trouble with the
weight. as he did not allow himself to
take on much after his fight with Nell
son at Los Angeles last month. He
figures that the training he did for that
affair paved the foundation for the ex-
cellent form in which he finds himself
at the present time
Jack Gleason is trying to secure Boer
Unholz as an opponent for Joe Cans for
his card next month. He is also con-
sldering the possibility of bringing
Cans and Abe AtteI1 together This
would be a bad match, as the style of
the men is similar. Joe Thomas repre-
sents Unholz here and he favors a
longer route than 20 rounds. He SAYS
the Boer has backing up to $4,000 for
40 round fight with Cans. Thomas

While shearing sheep Monday after
noon, in large shed belonging to E. A.
Butler and X. j. MacCallum, Mr.. Bair
accideptly threw lighted match into
some hay which at once took fire ard
before anything could be secured with
which to stop the fire it was beyond
control. The fire alarm was sent in at
once and it was only by the excellent
work of the men of Walden that the
flames, which were leaping far into the
heavens from the the burning buildings,
were kept from reaching the residence
and large barn
The fire spread rapidly from the shed
to the blacksmith shop and by six
o'clock all that was left of the burning
buildings was a mass of ashes
The men that were still fighting fire
at supper time enjoyed cordial meal
which was served by Mrs. Butler.
About twelve men watched the fire
over night and early Tuesday mornning
men were put to work digging bitches
in which water was run to put out the

GOOD BEEF FROM
NORTH PARK.

Among the oldtime cottlemen here
yesterday was Andrew Norell of Walden
Colorado, who marketed string of hay
fed western steers at s. so, with COWS at
$780, Mr. Norell went into the North
Park country % or 80 years ago and has
been raising high grade cattl there ever
since. He not only breeds the best but
feeds enough hay every winter to get
his stuff In good shape for the early
spring markets.
That this veteran of the range believes
in raising the best cattle possible is evil
dent from character of the sires he puts
on the range. Yesterday he purchased
from the Woods Investment company
here at the yards, two carloads of choice
registered Hereford bulls. These bulls
were sired by such noted animals as
Beau Brummel, Beau Donald, and St
Elmo of Shadeland. and their effect on
the cattle of North Park cannot but be
highly beneficial
