Grand Jury Probes
Boise City Lot Sale Deeply

United States Marshal Alternately
created a big sensation in Guthrie
yesterday when he quietly dropped in
to town from Enid and arrested A. >.
Kline on a charge Of fraud in connect
ton with the disposal of the townsite
of Boise City, county seat of Cimarron
county.
Mr.. Kline is a s~on-in-lsw OF Orville
T. Smith, law clerk of Governor Has

before coming to Oklahoma to reside
dealt extensively in lands in Indian
Territory.
The Boise City townsite was ham
died by the Southwestern 1mmigra-
ton and Development company, con-
trolled by Stanley, Kline and another
who is dead. They secured three
quarter sections of land, locating
| the townsite on them. Patents have
been held up TO the quarters at Wash
ington, though they passed the Wood
ward land Office, and one charge
against Kline is that lots were sold
when the title had not been acquired
1t is understood that the department
has asked the United States District
Attorney to bring suit to cancel the
deeds to the lots, but this may be
amended as only the immediate pur'
chasers would suffer

seven candidates and lots have been
sold throughout the United States al
from So to $40 each. 1t Is claimed the
promoters of the townsite disposed o.
more than 100000 worth of lots.
The Indictment was returned by the
Federal grand jury at Enid during the
present term of court. Mr.. Kline IL
charged with using the mails to de-
fraud, the specific allegations beire
that he misrepresented Cimarron
county which is the western part OF
the narrow strip; that he claimed that
every quarter Of the county WAS in
cultivation, producing an average q
forty bushels of grain to the acre, an
advancing other ~extravagant claims.
