WAS OUT BUT A SHORT TIME Oregon Mining Promoter Evlade .'tKo Great FeelUs Wkea Verdict Wan Announce Attorneys Move tor a Xcw Trial DES MOINES, la., June S. Letson Bai ilet was found guilty ot using the United States malls to defraud In connection with the promotion of the White Swan sold mine, Jn Baker County. Oregon, by a Jury In the Federal Court this after noon. The Indictment was pn fir counts, Which were consolidated, however, bo that the extreme punishment for the crime wllL be 18 months in the penitentiary and a fine of $500. The Jury went out at 1 o'clock nnd came in at 3. not having any serious disagreement In reaching a verdict Sentence win not be pronounced at pres ent JBalllet's attorneys, Judge Charles Bishop, of Des Moines, and Colonel Em onert Calahan. of Baker City, gave no tice at once of a motion for a new trial. They have until June 2(5 to file this mo tion. It .will be passed upon some time during July, or early in August If re fused, sentence will then he pronounced, and If the defense sees fit an appeal -will then! be taken to the United States "Cir cuit Court of Appeals at St Iouls The case c6uld be carried Up from that court to the United States Supreme Court on certiorari proceedings. "While not willing to state what will be the action until afr te'r the motion for new trial Is passed upon. It seoms to be. the intention of Bal lot and his attorneys to fight the mat ter to the end. Pending the decision of ihG court on the motion for a new trial, Balhet will be at large under the same bond as since he was indicted. Before reaching a verdictt the Jury came back for additional instruction by the court They asked to know if the sub sequent actions of Balllet, since the in dictment, could be considered in arriving at his intentions. The court ruled that they could. Balllet was pale when he came Into the courtroom to hear the verdict, but did not evince great feeling when the verdict was announced. Probably the most important feature of the decision in the case is the effect it will have on the prosecution ' of other companies supposed to bo operating schemes to defraud the public. It is al leged by the Government agents that there are many such concerns, and it Is pro posed to investigate them thoroughly. Widespread investigations are expected as a result of the succesa of the Government in this case. In his Instructions to the Jury Judge Munger laid down five point which, covered the whole situation. They were: First It is not hecessary for the Gov ernment to prove that any person has been actually defrauded, or for any person to have been defrauded. Second It is not essential whether Bal llet told the truth or falsehoods In his letters and circulars exploiting the "White Swan mine, 'only so far as these state ments tend to show -whether It was his Intent to defraud. Third It is necessary to show Balllet's intentions at the time he mailed the let ters and circulars complained of in the lndictrnent and not his subsequent intent Fourth It is not necessary or essential that Balllet, be tbq originator of a scheme to defraud or the author of the lettSrs and mall matter complained of, but whether he -was connected with the scheme as a party towards its further ance. Fifth Balllet took the stand in his own defense, and the Jury must determine whether he gave a satisfactory explan ation of the use and dispostlon of the White Swan funds. It was proved by the Government that during the 2 years that Balllet operated he had expended 525,000 in buying a news paper at Baker City; about $35,000 in ad vertising the mine and himself as the Cecil Rhodes of America; that he had ex pended various sums on actresses and personal outlays, and since the purchase of the "White Swan mine he has put prac tically nothing into it with a- view to de veloping it on behalf of the stockholders. It was essential for the Government to prove that Balllet intended to defraud the investors wnen he started to use the mails to sell them the stock. This was shown hy proving his expenditure of about $75,000 of the money in the manner described, and in no way connected with the development of the property. The Government clinched the case against Balllet when he went on the stand and failed to testify as to the whereabouts of the remaining $150,000 known to have been collected hy the sale of the stock but not accounted for. Balllet is 29 years old, and the son of Judge F. S. Balllet recently of the Polk County District hench, residing in this city. Young Balllet was engaged in no business until he acquired the manage ment of the "White Swan Mining & Mill ing Company A large number of tech nical difficulties concerning the title to the property having arisen, he bought the claims and secured a clear title to the "White Swan mine. Meanwhile he had been selling stock In the property. "When he had secured possession of the mine he removed his headquarters to San Fran cisco and operated from that city, where he employed 30 people night and day sending out circulars and letters advertis ing his proposition. The Government objected to his usg of the mails to procure money in the first place for the sale of the stock in a com pany which had no valid tlt)e to the property. In which its stockholders were assured they would participate; secondly, to the sale of stock through malls with out expending the money he received In developing the property he was selling, according to his agreement He was in dicted about 16 months ago, and a year ago this Summer his trial was begun In Des Moines. A Juror died, and the case went over to the May term, 1902, of the Federal Court here. Attorneys for Bal llet propose to take the case to the Su preme Court of the United States. Postoffice Inspector Mayer promises that ,if Balllet escapes on this -prosecution eventually he will be tried In San Fran cisco because of his use of the malls In California to push his scheme.

A Great Amoant of Machinery Going Into Baker County. BAKER CITY. June 4. The Sumpter "Valley Railroad has put up a new steel derrick near the depot for the purpose of handling heavy machinery and heavy freight of every description that it is neceBsary to transfer' from the O. R. & N. to the narrow-gauge roid. The open ing up of so many mines, -where heavy machinery has to be employed, has cre ated a great demand therefor, and a great deal vt it ia being shipped into this city for use at tho large mines. It frequently hs-ppens now that a large hoisting engine is sent In to be set up and used In some of the large mines. A few weeks ago a hoisyng engine came for the Bonanza mine, the main shaft of which was so large thit It made a carload by Itself. Some Idea of the Importance of Eastern Oregon as a mining center may be gleaned from the following list of stamp mills, most of whioh are now running every day, crushing ore from the various mines. The list follows: . , , Stamps.

ABERDEEN, Wash., June 5. Paul Un derwood, the alleged murderer of his 3-weeks-old babo at Ballard Saturday, who eluded the officers hero Tuesday, was seen at Toke Point on the north, shore of Wlllapa Harbor at S:20 this morning. This Information was brought here by the steamer Harbor Queen this afternoon on her arrival from Westport at the mouth of Gray's Harbor, and was at onco wired to every one in the South Bend: country who could be reached by telegraph, so that It Is expected here thac Underwood will soon bo xun 4own and. captured. Sheriff Cudlhee, of King County, ar rived here late yesterday afternoon, and, working an. the theory that Underwood had crossed tho Chehalls River to the south side and made his way down to wards Ocosta, Westport and the Pacific Coast, with the Intention of getting over to the Columbia River, he hired a steam launch late last night, went down the harbor to Westport, took a rowboat over to Ocosta, and commenced a search of mills and camps- around there. At Deal ing's sawmill, just outside of Ocosta. he found that Underwood had spent Tues day night with the men there, changed clothes with the fireman, and early Wed nesday morning had hired a man by the name of Sonford to row him across to the wharf at Westport. He went through that village Just about sunrise, passed, over to the beach and struck off south towards Wlllapa Harbor. Sheriff Cudlhee returned here as quickly as- possible, took the train for Astoria, and sent Sheriff Huft to South Bend on tho same train. If Un derwood was at Toko Point this morn ing his pursuers are closing in on him from all sdes. He had with him ?S0 and a six-shooter, and it Is possible he has crossed Wlllapa Harbor and gone down to Naheotta, from which point he could take a steamer around to the Columbia River, but he has made such slow progress thus far, however, that there are but few chances of his evading the officers who are so close upon him..

Welser con tinues to be full of men bound for the Thunder Mountain gold district, and every morning tho Pacific & Idaho Northern takes out good loads of miners, pros pectors and capitalists. After the 60 miles ride to Council they may be quickly transferred to stages and driven to Mead ows, 23 miles, before dark. The next morning they are off forWdrren, andas that road Is now open, the trip Is easily made In a day. This leaves them CO to 70 miles from Thunder- Mountain, and par ties just In say the road is lined with gold hunters. The road has been very bad, occasioned by deep, soft snow, and the best people for information do not advise that people start from Warrea before July L At camp things are as yet quet, so ha incoming travelers say. There have been no startling discoveries for some days. The Dewey people ore working a few men, preparatory. It Is said, to making a record-breaking run when their mill starts tip. "It fa believed the fame of thp Dewey mine will make a showing that will amaze the world. A ' scarcity of food supplies has been unexpectedly prolonged by a mild Win ter and a late Spring.
