OF IS Witnesses Explain How Butte Creek Company Plotted to Get Govern ment Land w Testimony Shows How Corpora tion Plotted to -Use Rimrock " for One "Fence and Row of Homesteads for Other, Thus -Securing Government Land. How a rich corporation plotted and schemed to monopolise 15.000 acre of Uncle Barn's land -as a pasture for its eattle and sheep and . how . the plan freachad fruition before the hand of the law reached out for the offenders is th story that la now unfolding in th fed eral district court Th tale is part of ' th case of th government against Hamilton H.

Stalwer -and Clarence B. Zachary, both of whom are under indictment with . Hendricks . for illegally fencing government lands... This company has 'wast herds of eattle and sheep, runs a bank and a store and a mill and practically ow"l tJ,w" Fossil, it once tried to own all wheeler . county, and therein Ilea th story. Mow not Began. In 181$ some wis, member of th company noticed that . rim rock along Butt creek and John Day river formed a natural fenoe Inclosing two aides of a tract of 16,00 acre of government land, containing mile of th fln bunch grass so conducive to the -fatness of Oregon cattle and ahp. This rim rock ranged in height from 2t to 49 feet and no herd could ever surmount It, either to get out of th government land or get In. There wer seven mile of this natural fenc running east and west on th north and seven mile of it run ning north am south on th west At the east end of the north line of rim rock and extending southward two or three homeoteade had been taken up, on of them by Clarence B. Zachary. who afterward mad a member oftfi company. Th genlua who originated the plan now being revealed to the publlo figured out that as two side of the government tract was incloaed the thing to do was . to Inolose the other two sldee by ac quiring a string of quarter sections and running a slngl lln of fence along the outside of their own land. - There was a short gap between the two lines of rim rock, but this was soon closed by In ducing som on connected with the company to file a homestead. Work During Three Tears. ' . For three years the work of Inclosing the big tract went on. According to evi dence already given ia the district court, the method of Hendricks and Zachary was to give any one who would serve their purpose 1100 et1 1100 for taking up a homestead claim and deeding It to the company after final proof wae made. .The company paid all expense;" Final proof was hastened by a pretense of clearing th land, planting crops and building homes. Than cam wholesale perjury, enabling th claimant to torn, mute at the end of 14 months. The company paid the tl.lt an acre, got the patent, the land was deeded over and the claimant was paid the aa-reed nrica. Among thos who helped out th scheme by taking up claims were Mrs. Emma Wilkes, Mrs. Cynthia Hamilton, Irvtn Wllke and Clyde Brown. - It was Browns filing that closed th last gap. Th fane had taken three years to build, but It was complete at last Th cattle and eheep of the Butte company bad 18.000 acre of Uncle Sam' land to arras over. Fencing and rlmrock kept out all other cattle and sheen, thereby proving that the Butte Creek company; was close corporation. teat Says for Ka4j4ekst ' . Thee were great days for Hendricks and hi partners. Not a eloud marred! -th future. Ail they had to do was t see that the fence was kept In good re pair.
