Newspaper Page Textm I Ill FAMOUS CABU1 Located On McKay Creek, Entrymen Sar It Served As Home for Sixty Homesteaders. A Pendleton dispatob to tbe Spokesman-Review says an effort by others accused to show tbat William Babe, oue of tbe men leoently indioted by tbe federal grand jary, looated stout 60 entrymeu iu one little cabin on tbe headwaters of tbe McKay creek, will be one of tbe features of tbe approach ing land frand trials, accoiding to several of tbe Peudletoa witnesses who are retaining from Portland, wbere tbey were compelled to tell wbat tbey knew of tbe transactions in tbis county. Many of them were among tbe entry men wbo say tbey bad 'been made to telieve tbe cabin mentioned was tbeira and was on tb land on wbicb tbey bad Died, whereas tbe land in many instances was from two to eight miles distant Muoh evidence bas been taken on this point, photographs of tbe cabin have been made and there is no doubt bat that it will figure in tbe (rials. Aocording to the story of witnesses, the plan was easily worked, inasmuch as many of those filing on tbe unallot ted Indian lands did so purely for speculative purposes and with no in teution of keeping tbe land permanen tly. Tbey therefore hired Babe to locate them, tbey deolare, and then employed him to bnild their cabins and fJaka tbe other improvements con sidered necessary. Ibe entrymen would then be taken oat to bis claim 1 and showed tbe cabin, "bis resi dence." Believing tbat this cabin was really on tbe land for which he bad made a filing, tbe eutryman now claims be oould innocently swear tbat he bad a bouse and improvements on his claim. In tbis manner, some of tbe defend ants allege, title was seoured to hun dreds of acres and immediately passed on to tbe men who were alleged to be engineering tbe proposition. These are statements wbiob are being pre sented to tbe federal grand jury now in Bossioa by tbe large part of the 113 witnesses subpoenaed from Pendleton and vioinity. In many instances entrymen looated their own claims, made their own im provements and knew wbat tbey were doiug and where tbey were, bat the majority of tbe unallotted acres of Indian land was filed upon by men IMPORTANT To Everyone Who Has Difficulties with Their Eyes or Eyesight.
