ATTY GENERAL BROWN.
FILES NEW COMPLAINT.
IN LAND FRAUD CASE.
Alleges About 10000 Acres
Of State Lands We're OBJ
tanned By Fraud.

Alleging that approximately 10000
acres of lands were f~raudulently obtain
ed from the state by means of forgeries
and false a~ffiiavits, Attorney General
Brown today filed a new complaint in
the circuit court for Harvey eodnty in
the famous Pacific Livestock company
land fraud case.
A new complaint was necessary, the
attorney general points out, because the
original complaint, which was filed in
1914 by Attorney General Crawford, al
leges that the lands were obtained thru
a conspiracy and by means Of dummy
enjoyment, while Attorney General
Browns Investigations show that they
we're obtained by forgeries.
The circuit court for Harvey county
eonvenes in October and the attorney
general hopes to get the case TO trial
then. He says in the past the Pacific
Livestock company has wanted a speedy
trial and if it is still in that frame of
mind the ease undoubtedly will come
up in October.
Attorney General Brown has per-
sistently fought to keep the case from
being squelehed. The last Legislature
refused his request for an appropriation
of $4,000 to-defray the expenses Of the
litigation, and after the Legislature adj
iourned the governor sought to have
the ease dismissed. He said he would
order it dismissed if Secretary of State
Oleott would join with State Treasurer
Kay in giving a vote of approval, but
Olcott refused to do it.
If the lands involved are recovered
they will enrich the state school fund.
These lands are divided into three
groups, namely, school lands, school in
demrity lands and swamp lands. 1t is
alleged that the school lands were OBJ
tanned from the state by John s. De-
vine and W. B. Todhunter through forg-
cd applications and false pretenses. The
indemnity school lands were obtained by
Henry Miller and +. A. Hyde and Others
by similar means, il is alleged, while
the swamp lands were obtained by Hen
~ Miller.
In 1888 Henry Miller organized the
Pacific Livestock company to take over
the title to these lands. 1t is alleged
that Miller, up to the time Of his death
1914, owned practically all the stock
in the company, which was a mere tool
to cover his scheme.

ing its name, after being negotiated
in London, was signed between

sion when the Bourbon, the great
bell in CRUCES belfry, was rung for
the first time.
"Cateau is also famous for a
treaty signed there. Cambria, OF
military fame going back centu-
ries from the Canadian capture, has
also been the scene of several ne
