the United States mails.
The third and last witness this
morning was Bette Anderson, former
1y stenographer in the employ of
Miller. She testified that she had
written letters to Miller's alleged part
ner in London, McLane. This testi-
mony was given over an objection by
Judge Ensminger, who said the state
ment was not in accord with the case.
Did you write a letter for Miller
to McLane, suggesting that McLane
write to him (Miller) with tho recon-
mendation that the Brindley company
back Miller's proposition" Attorney
Robertson asked the witness.
She replied in the affirmative.
The state then came to the letter
that had been sent to Miss Anderson
at her home near Fa1un, Kansas. II
was sent through the mail, written on
typewriter and was signed Mrs. Els
ton. The latter did not write the let
| ter, 1t was discovered by the govern
| ment authorities. but it was written
by some one else. The federal attor-
neys are trying to show that the let
ter was written by Miller.
Testimony was given by Miss Ander-
$1,000 from his private office in Sa-
lima.
The case was adjourned shortly af-
ter 1890 o'clock until later this af-
| ternOon. 1t Is probable that Miller
will not be called to testify until We'd

The supervisors are considering the
Davis bill and other land legislation
now pending in the legislature
The history of the bonds goes back
to the legislative session of 1885. Yava-
