LAND OFFICE GOING AT TER
 TRESP PASS[RS

Yesterday in the commissioner s court warrants were issued for the arrest of Mike Bedon and Sam Agu- zOff on complaints sworn to by F. K Andrews, of the local land office Bedon is charged with timber tres pass. In that he cut, or caused tO be cut. 130 cords of wood off of government land. Two complaints were made against Aguzoff, the first one charging him with timber tres pass. specifying that he hauled, or caused to be hauled, fifty cords of wood belonging to the government off of government land. and the other one charging him with larceny. In the latter case it Is specified that he hauled off about two and one half cords of wood after the land agent had notified him that the wood belonged to the government and instructed him to leave the wood alone.
 It appears that the men took out a permit to cut timber on quarter section of land adjoining the home stead of Wm. St. Louis near the Nine Mile roadhouse and, according to a statement made by the land office officials, there being no wood on the quarter covered by their per init, they deliberately crossed the line between this ground and that of St Louis. St. Louis ordered them off the land several times. but they paid no attention to this, so he re ported the matter to the authorities
 MT Andrews made a special trip to the scene and found the men en- gagged in loading a sled with wood stead He thereupon warned them 70 leave all the wood alone The warning was disregarded and the load brought to town. On It's ar rival it was seized by the officials n the name of the government.
 The authorities say 1t Is not the intention of the department to work q hardship on the wood men of the district, nor to penalze innocent or gnorant men but the regulations which govern the cutting of timber must be lived up to. They realize hat the time is not far distant when he timber in the country, under he best of conditions, will be insuf- lcient to meet the demand, and hey are going to do all in their )Owcr to see that the "hogging" of timber Is stopped and every violator f the regulations, bg or little. pun 1 he'd
