j S. A. D. Puter was arrested and coii
jvlcted by Francis J. Heney, f(.r v,rnt
lis known as the 11-7 land fraud" casj.
j With hlin in tho deal wore Mrs. Emma
U v, alKon, Horace McKlnley, Marie
Ware, now Mrs. McKlnley, Dan W.
Tarplcy and others. The trial began
November 21. 1904, and ho Was con
vlflod December 6, and was sentenced
to t-vo years Imprisonment ami to pay
a fine of $7500. All of the defendants
were found guilty, but Puter was the
only ono to receive sentence and the
only one who hag served a term of
Imprisonment. McKlnley ' fled the
country and went to China, where he
was arrested and Is now. on his way to
America. On July , 1906, Puter was
sentenced o serve two years In the
county jail and he has served about a
year and one-half. In addition to
the jail sentence, Puter was fined $7,
500, but it Is believed hero that the
fine will be wiped out with the par
don. Puter decided to turn against those
with whom he was connected In his
crooked land ' dealings, because they
turned him down. He has made
friends with all of the government of
ficials since reaching that decision.
t here was no half-way measures when
Puter decided to tell what he knew
to Heney and It was through Puter
that practically all of the land fraud
convictions were made possible.
Whatever Puter might have been, he
has made good to "Heney everything
that he promised when he turned
state's evidence, and there- Is not a
man connected with the federal gov
ernment In Portland, who does not
speak hlghlyof Puter. He has been
a model prisoner and has taken his
medicine without a word of complaint.

Coming, "The Man of the Hour."
"The Man of the Hour," which
comes to the Steward opera house
Tuesday night, Januray 21, is a play
of politics and graft, and Is said to be
the best of Its kind any American has
written, and from all accounts de
serves to bo seen by every one who
can appreciate a good drama finely
acted. It is said the types of politi
cians George Broadhurst has drawn In
this play, are alive and busy. For
outright truth In characterization of
certain kinds of men no play of the
time exceeds "The Man of the Hour."

under the direction of Arthur C. Als

"Tennessee's Pardner," "Pretty Peg'

always presented In a more than sat
isfactory manner. Manager Aiston
has this season expended additional
money to secure the strongest cast
which has ever been seen In the play.
The engagement of "At the Old Cross
Roads," which takes place at the
Steward opera house Thursday, Janu
ary 2, promises to call out one of the
largest audiences of the present sea

history are Interwoven the characters
of Annabel Thornton, the heiress to
Magnolia Grove; Dayton Thornton, Its
master; Tom Martin, of Myrtle Fern
plantation; Doc Kerr, a speculator,
who dearly loves Parepa; Count de
Monay; Young Mlssisslp; -Major Brad
