Another party of 1 people from Wla-

lured by the specious promises- of

timber locator, of thlar city. They came
expecting to ; take up timber claims in
southern - Oregon - and they relied on
Gardner and McCrossen to locate them.
Among the party are John Farr. T, F.
Frank Galey and SaraocJ Olaen of Chip
pewa Falla. Wisconsin. . On their ar
rival In "Portland the would-be timber
townera. learned of the frauds , recently j
perpetrated in southern Oregon and they !
'decided to turn their attention to the
eastern part- of the state. -'They wlU
leave this evening for Baker City. In the

operators aud a witness - for - the
government in the land fraud trials. He
had no idea, that his own father had

the scene of recent operations by Gard

the fictitious descriptions Inscribed by
the- timber sharks for the purpose of
miaieaaing eniryraeisj ' j
- Both trees stood on section I, town
ship Si, south, range I west, a heavily
timbered section and already patented.
One of the false witness trees was in-
, scribed "section 22" and on the other
was "section 27." The two trees were
about four miles distant from the sec
