'f n ELAY LAND COYOTE '" FRAUD CASE Action to Recover Railway Grants In' Oregon Not Likely to Be Heard Now. PORTLAND, Dec. 10. Asking for a speedy trial of the Oregon-California Railroad land grant cases, the attorneys for the railroad and the Union Trust Company, trustee of the mortgage bonds, as well as for the Interveners In the suit, some of whom 'claim to he actual settlers on the land, appeared before Judge Wol verton In the United States Circuit court. Senator Qearin appeared for the Trust Company, Attorneys Lafferty and Murphy for the lnterrentors and Fenton for the railroad company. Th'e latter will file a demurrer to the Government's charges, but on ac count of the crowded docket In the Federal Court, It Is Improbable 'that the case wilt come up for hear ing before February. The docket now Is filled with jury cases until February 1, and It will be impossible Co hold a hearing before then. Three different 'b'ills 6f Intervention were ' filed some time ago on behalf of ap plicants for 'the land, who were re fused the sale by the railroad people. ' The case was instituted "by the Government to condemn the land given to the Oregon-California Rail road In a grant of 1868 for alleged breaking of the grant's provisions. The Government's stipulation was 'that the'la'hd was to be sold to actua1 settlers o'nly, in areas not larger than 160 acres o each one and at not over $2.50 an'acre. The Government al leges that the railroad company has broken erery one of these provisions, and on this account It Is attempting to forfeit this land to the Govern ment.' There are about 100 settlers on the land in whose behalf Attor neyXiafferty Is appearing. Attorneys Dan Murphy and Leavengood, of Roseburg, filed long bills of inter ventlon a short time ago on behalf of over '4000 clients who are said to have applied to the railroad company for the'land, agreeding to pay $2.50 an aero for. same.

NOON. i$E IN WASHINGTON EXCITING SPORT NEAR KEXNE AVICK, WASH., RIVALS ENGLISH FOXHUNTING ANNUAL AF FAIR ATTRACTS INTEREST FOR MANY MILES AROUND. KENNEWICK, Wash., Dec. 9. H S. Coffin of North Yakima," arrlvel here with two greyhounds and two staghounds, oh his way to his lodge on the Columbia river, eight miles below here, where a party of friends are to Join In a three-day coyote hunt. Mr. Coffin Is secretary of the Washington Sheepmen's association and owns sheep in the Horse Heaven country, where tfid hunt will be made. Five or six men and a dozen trained dogs will take part in the hunt. It is an annual affair. Last year the series of hunts netted 30 coyote skins and the year before 54 was the record. This year the ani mals are reported plentiful again. Coyote hunting as practiced here Is one of the most exciting sports of the northwest. The hunt Is on horse back, and trained horses are used. Each man has two or three dogs on a rope and holdB the two loose ends. The riders approach as near the ?ame as possible and then let loose the dogs. It Is a case of follow the hounds after that at breakneck speed, and the coyote has a habit of always picking out the toughest country for the chase. The grey lounds do the catching and the 'leavler staghounds the killing. The Iders keep up with the procession as jest they may. No guns are used; It Is simply a ace over rocks and sagebrush, with be speed and cunning of the game pitched against the speed of the greyhounds and the ferocity of the staghounds. Sometimes the coyote jvins; sometimes the dogs. The aver age of past years has been three dead coyotes for each day's hunting. On iccount of the ctiaracter of the ground covered, the horses and riders, at the speed they go, run a jonstant risk of a fatal fall.
