A Timber Land Steal.
New York, Jan. 11. The Her
aldthis morning prints a three
column letter from Eureka, Cal
ifornia, in regard to a gigantic tira
per land steal. The correspond
ent states that a foreign syndi
cate is operating in the redwood
district, of which Eureka is the
center, and that it has already gob
bled up G-1,000 acres of the finest
redwood forests in the world. The
syndicate is composed largely of
Scotch capitalists, and is known as
the California Redwood Company,
with chief office in San Francisco.
The method pursued by the
syndicate in securing land des
cribed as follews: A number of
notorious land sharks were hired
by the company and sent to Eu
reka, and they soon had plans per
fected for the great fraud. The
headquarters of the gang was in
the back room of a gin shop of a
local sport, whose establishment
was tho resort of the rough float
ing population. Three blocks
away from the saloon was located
the United States land office. The
area of land sought by the con
spirators was so vast that a small
army of men was required to go
through the forms of entering and
proving, as required by the law of
United States in disposal of the
public domain. It was necessary
to obtain 100 persons who were
willing to aid in the fraud, either
knowingly or unconsciously thro'
ignorance of the meaning of
the statement each would bo
called on to make. The sum fixed
by the Redwood company as the
maximum price was 850. For
that paltry sum men were to be
called on to go to the land office
and make a statement ttiat the
land they entered under tho be
neficent laws of Uncle Sam was
for their individual use and occu
pancy. As soon as the entry was
made the men were escorted to
the headquarters of tho syndicate
where the land was transferred.
Es'lins Bobbed His Friend.
To-day E. A. Kissling was ex
amined in the police court to-dav
on a charge of robbing Carl F.
Brown early last Monday evening.
According to Brown's statement:,
on Sunday night last the def-i.!-anl
introduced himself to the i,
pLinant, who, by the wa-, i- .i
farmer in Clatsop county, in tho
Columbia saloon, on .fefTer-on
street. lie claimed to be without,
means, and Brown took him to a
restaurant to get something lo eat,
subsequently taking him to the
theater. They then proceeded to
the steamer Mountain Queen, on
which the farmer purposed going
to Astoria the following morning.
Instead of taking a berth Brown
threw himself on a bale of hay
near tho boilers. Before he was
yet asleep Kissling attempted to
pick his pockets, which contained
$45 in money, a return ticket to
Astoria, and some trifles; but
Brown drove him off. Subsequent
ly Kissling succeeded in his mean
purpose.. Officer Henline testified
that when the defendant had been
taken to the city prison and was
being searched Brown's ticket and
trinkets were found upon his per
son. Kissling make no defense,
and Judge Dement bound him
over to the grand jury in the sum
of $500. Portland Teleqram, 11.
S. 1094.

land, that the reported damage
was very trivial, and that the chan
nel is straight, and that two ves
sels crossing the bar have found at
