personalities and vituperation were
freely INDUCED, the Alaska Central
railway again was thrown into the
hands of receivers.

case supporting his allegations of
fraud on which the receiver was ap-
pointed last May, and the court took
the matter of who should pay the
costs of the same under advisement
until a final decree Is rendered in the

Los Angeles, oct. 27.-Defying
Roosevelt and the vice presidential
candidate Sherman to produce any
"hold up" letters written by him and
calling former, United States Senator
Patterson Of Colorado, a notorious
liar" Edmund Burke, the attorney ac-
cused of duplicating Sherman in the
New Mexican land grab plot in the
statement given to the New York

mot seem right now"

lowed the publication of a Washing

plicated Sherman in the statement.

yer less than 10 days ago to see for
mer Senator Patterson, Simon Gug-
genheim and others in connection

slsts he did not go there to give infor-
nation but to suppress the story of
Sherman's part in the scheme, which
was to get possession Of hundred and
fifty thousand acres of land.

leaders sent a man to see me in Au-
gust with offers | notified Sherman
that the democrats were planning TO
use the land scheme to injure him
in the campaign. l went to Denver
to suppress the story about to be
printed in the Rocky Mountain News
made no statement concerning the
deal in the presence of Patterson and
others. Patterson is apt to say any
thing. He is a notorious liar

lice court yesterday on the charge of
embez2lement, preferred by A. II.
Deahl, a Nevada mining man, who
accused Burke of selling gold bullion
