N. D. Man IS
ON TRIAL
Evan c. Thomas Before u. S.
Court at Aberdeen

Aberdeen, S. d., May 5.-Evan c,
Thomas OF Hettinger, N. d., formerly
United States commissioner of public
lands at that place, is on trial here
before the federal court on charge of
attempted bribery in the sale of pub
lie lands. The case has been holding
over for nearly two years and is
arousing much interest among home
steaders and people connected with the
public land service.
1t is asserted that Thomas offered
bidders on public lands offered for
sale money to refrain from bidding
that he might buy up this land at a
minimum figure.
On April 10. 1909 sale of fractional
lands in isolated tracts was conducted
at Lennon, s. D., at the landoflce

N. C. Kaufman, who live near Het-
finger. On the day Of the sale. but
the sale had begun, Thomas. it is said,
approached Kaufman and w. j. Carln,
who is a brother of Kate Carlin, and
offered them money to refrain from
bidding ON the lands which adjoined
their honesteads, saying that the land
was worth good price to him.
According to the evidence brought
out in the trial, he also offered to re-
frain from bidding on these lands on
condition that he was given sum of
money for it. The men, however, re-
fused. and bought the lands at the
sale for $4.25 an acre, So more than
the minimum price.
Thomas. was their competitor, bid
ding for the land $4.15 an acre.
Thomas alleged attempt to bride
was discovered by officials of the land
Office after the sale and he was
brought before a grand jury and in
dicted. The case has been taken UP
at Fargo, Sioux Falls and twice in
Aberdeen in the federal courts, but
this is the first time it has been
brought to trial.
