A. M WOO DFORD, PeslmasMt 1
Tho Jones, Potter and Wude trial
is uow on in tho U. S. Fed oral court
at Portland. This is tho muoh talked
of Siletz Indian reserve land case in
Tillamook couuty.
The contention of the prosecution
is that Jones and Potter conceived
tho idea of securing lurgo tracts of tho
valuable timber land in the Siletz re
serve by proouriug soldier's widows
aud old soldiers to take up claims,
which woro to be conveyed to the de
fondants or persons to whom they
sold as soon as patents were issued.
Soldier's widows proved hard to find.
so John L. Wells, an insurance man,
living on tho east side aud himself an
old soldier, was hired to procure vet
erans who would make the desired
eutries.
Evidence to be produced, it is al
leged, will invblve late otltcials of the
Orogon Ciy land office in the con
spiracy to defraud the government of
its lands.
The evidenoe brought in the name
of Judge William Galloway, receiver
at the land office, when the filings and
final proof were made of the claims
involved in the Jones indictment. It
is the theory of the government that
there was collusion betweeu the oili
oials and Jones and Potter, and that
when tho ofiiolals were ohanged It was
found mote suited to their purpose
to have proofs made bforee Wade,
clerk of Linaolu county.
Charles B. Mooros was register at
tho oltloe at that time, and C. E.
Loomis, siuoe iudiotod for conspiracy
in connection with the "11-7" lands,
was special agent.
In outlining what tho government
expoots to prove, Distriot Attorney
Honey said.
The indictment charges the de
fendants with oonspiraoy to defraud
tho government of its land by false
affidavits, avowiug resldenoe on the
claims when aB a matter of fact they
were not living there at oil. Many of
these ontrymou hardly ever went noar
their claims. At the end of every six
months Jones would round up his en
trymen. supply them with tiokets and
send them out to the uninhabitable
shacks, where they would stay over
night, or at best two nights, and
would then return to towu. When
time for final proof oame, Potter went
up to the laud oifioe and prompted
the claimants in making their affi
davits." SENATOR FULTON SUBPOENAEu.
Ssnator Charles W. Fulton, who left
for Washlngtou more thau a week
ago, has been subpoenaed (by United
States Distriot Attorney Honey as a
witness for tho governmeut in the onse
now on trial bofore the Federal ootirt
in which Willard N. Jones, ThaddeuB
S. Potter and Ira Wade aro acocued
of oonspirnoy.
The purpose of the distriot attor
ney is to show by tho testimony of
Senator Fulton the efforts of the de
fendants to gain the lands and their
direct Interest in the claims men
ttoued in tho ludlotment. 'Toado this
tho senator will be asked to Identify
correspondence whioh ho bad with the
department and with Jones between I
October, 1903, and September, 1904,
relative to the status of the claims, j
When the claims were held up for :
investigation by the general laud
office, Mr. Jones asked Senator Ful-
ton's assistance iuhaving them passed
to patent. Tho senator wrote to the
department asking tho status of tho
claims and urging that they be ap
proved. Tho department replied that
tho claims woie apparently fraudulent
and had been held for Investigation.
Later, It was decided by the depart
ment that the claims were being taken
fraudulently and they were posted for
cancellation.
Jones again appeals to Senator Ful-1
ton and the senator wrote to the de
partment asking that aotiou be delay
ed pending a request which he in
tended making to oongress to abolish
the residence clause in the depart
ment requirements as applying to tho I
Siletz reserve. !
Cnnappy Dlckene,
Dickens had to confess, after a se
vere trial of married life, that tho skel
eton in his domestic closet tvss becom
ing "a pretty big one." Then, in 1857,
came the crisis.
"Poor Catherine and I are not mndo
. for each other," ho wrote in a letter to
Forster, "and there is no help for it
She is exactly what you know in the
way of being amiable and complying,
but we aro strangely Hi assorted for
the bond that Is between us. God
knows she would have be m a thousand
times happier if sue baa married 1a)
other kind of nuti., aud her av, .
once of this destiny would have been
at least equally good for us boti. - "The
years have not mode It easior to bear
for either of.8. There is plenty of
fault on my side, I dare say, in the
way of a thouBand uncertainties, ca- j
prices and difficulties of disposition,
but only one thing will alter all that,
and that Is the end which alters every-1
tmng."
Knlv'ea For brldea.
The custom of giving knives te
brldes -was formerly a common prac
tice, when It -was fashionable for wo
men to wear knives sheathed and sus
pended from their girdles. A wedding
offered nn opportunity of presenting
sometning novel or ornamental In ths
cutlery line, and frequent reference to
such presents occurs In tho plays of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
In the "Witch of Edmonton," 1048, for
instance, the bride is described tis
wearing "the new pair of Sheffield
knives, fitted to ono sheath." A list
of trinkets usually worn by ladles
about 1500 includes girdles, knives,
purees aud pin cases. In Dokker's
"Mutch Me In London," 1031, the bride
says to her jealous husband:
"See, at my girdle hang my wedding
knives;
With these dispatch me."
Where Silence la Golden.
This story Is illustrative of the abso
lute silence nnd loneliness of the typ
ical Australian bush camp:
Two men were camping together, but
rarely exchanged a word.
One morning ono of the men remark
ed nt breakfast, "Heard a cow bellow
In tho swamp just now." '
Nothing further was said, and they
went about tbelr business for the rest
of tho day. Twenty-four hours later,
one move at breakfast, tho second
man salu:
"How tVyou know It wasn't a bull?"
Again no oommeot. Agnln a pause ol
twenty-four boons. Next morning the
first man began to pock up his "billy"
and "swag."
"You going1?" inquired tbo other.
"Ins."
"Why?"
"Because," said his frieod, 'theee's
oo much argument In this camp-."

Law Notes relates that Albert E.
Flllsbury, former attorney general oi
Massachusetts, on visiting the birth
place of Horace Greeley in Amherst,
N. H., noticed tlint there was no pla-
card about tho place to Inform the
public of Its historical Interest Ac
cordingly he himself tacked on the
house a card which read: "This Is the
birthplace of Horace Greeley." While
he was engaged at this task a passing
native paused to read the card, and,
turning to Mr. Plllsbury, he remarked
with some acidity: "The gall of some
of you fellers that hev made money la
the city is fairly slek'nin". What do
you suppose folks here core whether
you was born on this fctrm or somo
other farm? Them's my sentiments,.
Mr. Greeley, end don't you forgit HI"
