It is understood that the Federal

ana umber land by railroads aod
coal companies, has voted to return
indictments aeainst the Union Pai
ciflc Railroad Comnanv. the Ore-

Coal Comoanv. and two officials of
these rsonn.anifcs will hn ihnlartprt
when the indictments are re'arued.
It it said ibebills would have been
reported put before this, but the
government officials are waiting to
bear additional evidence at Pueblo
and Denver next week.
The indictments will icharge the
defendants with fraud in obtaining
government, land by subornation
of rrjeriurv- in hirinsr nersons to
iinr chm lhov worn mntrino onfrv
upon the land for their own person

from etjjying the fruits of their en-

ihe tale is said to aptly illustrate
the methods whereby corporate in-

the blandard Oil Company to throt-

nopoly. incidentally it throws a
strong light upon the general coal
famine trom which the state of
Utah and other portions of the West
are now sufferiog severely, a 'ma-
noro.y-made famine. -
This pubi c indictment, coming
from the mouths of witnesses who
had fought with the "system" and
who bad suffered irreparable de
feat, went unchallenged by the cor

rected and unanswered,' except by
protest and objection of attorneys.

were copUd aod submitted to its
officers. ;
Charles A. Livingetope and oth-
era told bow the fuel company en
joyed a railroad rate about ooe-balf
that of the public, and was thus
able to crush out all competition.
Tha government was particular to
secure all the evidence available on

place it before the attorney general
as material' in prosecution of the
fuel company and the railroada
granting the rebates.
Byron Groo, former secretary of
State Land Board of Utah, was
questioned as to how title to thous
ands of acres of land was passed
from the state of Utah to the coal
companies. He admitted that large

by the state land board, but said
he could riot remember the amounts

MURRAY PLEADS
HIS TRIAL FOR MURDER SEP
FOR MONDAY, DEC. 10.
Manner and Bearing of Defendant
Shows His Faith That He Will
Be Vindicated Court Room
Crowded.
' Portland, Dec. 2. Oregonian:
Facing his arraignment with a calm
demeanor and without the slightest
tremor of nervousness, Orlando : S.
Murray yesterday entered a plea of
not guilty to the charge of killing
Lincoln C. Whitney, the alleged
traducer of the eibler of the defend
ant. Hie trial was set for Monday
December 10. ..
Murray entf red his plea before
the judges of tbe circuit sitting ea '
banc and while tbe courtroom was
crowded with spectators. When
asked by Judge Sears to rise and ,
plead, be did so in a manner and
with a. bearing that bespoke his
confidence in acquita!. '
. Attorner Joun F. Logan asked
that tbe trial be set two weeks -ahead,
stating that it would take
thrt time to secure the evidence and
get witnesses here. The date was
first set for the 13th of the month,
but whether due to a suLcrs'iti. . 3
fear of that date, or as a matter of
convenience, the attorney for io
defendant secured the hearing of
the trial on tbe 10th.
It was announced that John H.
Jeffries would assist in the defense,
and that W. T Vaughn would ap- :
pear as an associate in the prosecuv
tion, tbe latter having been retain ,
edby the relatives of Whitney.
Portland, Dec. 2. Oregonian:
For about ten minutes late yester
day atternoon Mount Mood took: on
the glistening pink glow of the sun
set and held all spectators spell
bound by the glorious beauty of its
coloring. It is not an unusual
thin' to Bee the mountain reflect-.......
ing the pink and red of the sun, '
but there was a delicious shading
aod mellowness about it yesterday
which caused artists to gaze in ado
ration, and common, every-day in
dividuals to stop and wonder at the
beauty of it.
There have been no successful
pictures of Mount Hood showing
this wonderful coloring, as s repro
duction appears grossly unnatural
and lacks tbe transparent lightit ;;.
At sunset the changes are rapid,
and there will be brief iostancea
when the effect is that of a spot
light turned upon the peak. As
tbe sun dropped below the horizon
yesterday, the blue mists crept up
irom ioo iimoer line, gradually en
veloping tne mountain, until at last
the glowing tip was submerged and1
old Hood again stood out in'r' tbeP-
steel-blue cold Dees of a winter's day
"Where in this country or anyi v
any other country would one see
such a sight as that!" enthusiastic
