II The first number of the Lyceun
Course was given in the Contra
] schoolhouse Wednesday night of last
a week. On account of the cold weather
there was not as large a crowd as
was expected. 0. V. Bailey showed
himself to be a good entertainer,
keeping the audience interested with
juicy jokes, poems of the living poets
and won the school children's hearts
by readings especially for them from
James Whitcomb Riley, such as "Moo,
Cow, Moo" "The Raggedy Man." etc.
The "two-tone" whistler helped to
make the evening a success. The next
number will be January 10, being en-
titled "An Evening With Bobby
Burns" by P. Monroe Smock. Be sure
and come, for this will be the best
number of the lyceum course.

suit was carried to the supreme court
of the United States and that court
decided that the deed given by the state
of Virginia to Wolcott was of no va
lidity as the state of Virginia did not
own the land that it attempted to con-
vey to Wolcott.
Land Sharks Get Busy.
Certain land sharks and unscrupu-
lous promoters in the large cities of
some of the eastern states have been
trading such of these invalid Wolcott
deeds as they could acquire to people
In the far west. In some cases money
was obtained and In other cases men
have actually traded their homes for
these lands not knowing the real sta
tus of the property and relying upon
false representations that were made
to them of the great value Of the lands
for agriculture and for coal and oil"
1t was in regard to one of these deals
that MIR. McCracllen made a trip to
Kentucky for some clients in Boise and
after an extensive examination of til
ties he became convinced that the SUI
preme court decision set aside all title
that his clients could have had in the
lands mentioned. He also represent
ed man in Salem who had been de-
frauded by an exchange which he had
made for some Of these worthless titles.
and whose property will now be re-
stored to him. Beecher Stapleton, the
county clerk of Johnson county. Ken
lucky, is doing all in his power to give
publicity to the fraudulent transactions
Of sharks who are dealing in Wolcott
titles. 1t appears that the most of the
swindling has been carried on in Los
Angeles, Portland. Seattle and Kansas
City. A few people in Minnesota and
Canada have been cheated Of every
thing that they possessed by some of
these swindlers who disappear as soon
as they have received conveyances to
the property for which they have ex-
changed worthless titles.

WESTERN PEOPLE

BY Land SHARKS
Boise Attorney Makes Trip
to Kentucky to Investi-
gate the Case and Exposes
the Fraud.

That land sharks have been work.
giving bogus deeds to Kentucky land
in exchange for deeds and title to
good western lands, is the exposure
made by Robert NJ. McCracken, well
known attorney of this city. who is
working on the case in behalf of ell
ents. Mr. McCracken recently returned
to Boise from a trip east and to Port
land, where he looked into matters per-
tanning to the fraud He gives some of
the details of how the fraud has been
worked in the following statement;
Exposes Fraud.
Some years ago the state of Vir-
ginia gave a warrant to a tract Of
$4,000 acres of land in the state of
Kentucky to a man by the name of
Wolcott. This warrant was filed by
Wolcott about the year 1850 in John
son county, Kentucky. Before Wolcott
obtained his deed, settlers had already
taken up their homes on the land and
had been given title to their lands by
laws enacted by the state of Kentucky.
Wolcott gave deeds to other people for
the lands but no interest by occupa-
ton or otherwise was ever asserted by
the holders of the deeds given by VOL
colt until in recent years. About five
years ago a suit was brought by one
of the holders of a Wolcott title to
GUST a holder Of title which had been
acquired by settlement and entry. That

HAIR OF EVERY COLOR OF
RAINBOW AT THIS BALI

London, Feb. 2O.-Colored hai'
made its entry into a society house
last night, when the Hon. Mrs. George
Keppel gave a ball, and many beau
tiful faces were seen framed in colt
fures that were becoming, if of some
what unusual hue.
Among the most striking of the
dresses was Lady Ponsonby's, which
matched a green and blue transforma-
tion.
The hair of Mrs. Keppel, who wore
purple satin and chiffon dress, was
of vasco rosetina.
The Hon. Mrs. Bingham had selected
dull sake blue for her locks and she
was robed in a cream gown with a
sash of royal blue. There were sew
eral green and orange head dresses
too, but only few of the men ven
tured in wigs at all, and these were
mostly white. Lord Arlington, how

cast at special election in Oakland.
In the "a precincts there were cast
for the ordinance 9262 votes and 1921

of the railroad corporations, the street
railways, all common carriers, the gas,
electric light, water, telephone and tel
egraph companies were the other ques-
tions submitted to the people.
Charging that they were not bona
fide residents of Oakland w. j. Hughes
challenged the votes of SO young wom-
ent students at Mills college. Hughes
was one of the watchers stationed at
the polls by the Hart ordinance forces.
He held that the girls are merely
temporary residents at the college and
that their proper places of residence
are at the homes they came from, scat
tered throughout the state.
The girls swore in their ballots in
each INSTANCE, declaring themselves le-
gal residents of Mills college and reg
istered voters. The election officers
permitted them to vote.
