than 100000 acres Of public land in Cali
Iornla and Oregon, was presented 10

tated that the Government expects TO
prove that title 10 10000 acres OF pubIi,

ernment, while they were engaged in
the land business in San Francisco that
Schneider was their agent in securing
titles TO the properties. and that Di-
mond acted as their attorney. with full
knowledge OF the fraudulent nature of
their transactions.
The profits on the transactions at
tempted by the defendants, said Mr..
Pugh, mad they been carried through
successfully, would have been enor-
nous. The thousands Of acres Of forest
lands would have netted them millions
of dollars, he said.
He also declared that Hyde and Ben
son, who had been in the Iand business
in San Francisco, were quick 10 realize
the possibilities in the exchange of school
lands. which were worth but SI25 an
acre, Tor the forest reservation lands
which might readily be disposed Of for

FOR by an act of Congress, passed in
1891 The purpose OF this act was 10
TeCtify mistakes made In the granting

The original act giving titles 10 pub
lie lands provided that certain lands be
for school purposes. Through
some mistake, outsiders secured titles

cOurs were imperfect The Govern
ment by the act Of 1897, wished TO com
Iensate those who were Ousted from
the school lands by giving, in lieu. pub
lie lands in the forest reservations Of
equal area.
Mr. push alleged that the defendants
secured titles to the school lands in a
manner. and then exchanged
[ hem for forest lands at great profit
He also declared that for the purpose
Of carving through their schemes they
corrupted clerks in the general land Of
