SENSATIONAL
 CHARGE MADE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY AL LEGES THAT LAND ENTRIES ON
 CoCHIsE COUNTY HoMEsTEADs HAVE BEEN MADE ILLEGALLY.

TUCSON, September 4.--No longer will the United States allow those who make homestead entries to abuse the regulations as they have in many in. stances in Arizona, and in future all those who would possess governmen, land must hold themselves within the strict meaning of the law.
 To this end United States Attorney Alexander will make Olie Craven of Coc hise county the first of several de. fendants when he has filed with the clerk of the court at Tombstone to- morrow a suit to set aside Craven s entry to homestead in Cochise.
 ''I have several suits of similar character in course of preparation, r said Alexander in Phoenix. (which will be filed later. They will be in cases where it was plain that there was con. spiracy to defraud the government.
 ''Those with homestead entries pro cure witnesses who we believe testify falsely before the land office in order that the applicant may prove his en. try and obtain the land without having compiled with the law"
 In Craven's case it is alleged that he filed on l60 acres of land in Co chise county, February 23, 1903. and that fourteen months later he made his final proof under provision of the law which permits homesteaders to secure land by proving fourteen months of con. tinuous residence and the payment of s2.50 per acre.
 Craven, with Dewitt CcCullan and w. H. Finley, are alleged to have ap- peared before the receiver of the land office in Tucson on November 1, 1904, to make final proof.
 In the complaint these three men are alleged to have entered into con spiraey for the purpose of defrauding the government. McCullan and Finley testified that of their own knowledge Craven had resided on and cultivated the land foy fourteen months.
 On February 2s, 1904, Craven was given his final receipt, and passed into full possession of the 16O acres of land. It is alleged that in this he committed a fraud through the conspiracy of his two witnesses.
 United States Attorney Alexander said that several cases of this kind have been called to his attention, and that as soon as the cases can be reached, complaints will be filed in the judicial district in which the alleged offense was committed.
