X JACKSONVILLE Vol. 2 SENTINEL Jacksonville, Jackion County, Oregon, Friday, November 4, 1904 No. 25 < ARRESTS ARE MADE Arrests of Horry W. Miller and F. Klntdrl by Government Offi cials. With More to follow Causes Ripple of Excitement. ART OPERATING IN THIS VICINITY Government officeraare drawing tighter the web in which they believe they have entangled perpetrators of land frauds in Southern Oregon and announcement was made Monday that Frank E. Kincart had been taken into custody at Roseburg ac cording to a dispatch to the Evening Telegram. He is alleged to be implicat ed in the wrongful acquring of title to timber lands near Medford. Mr. Kincart has been placed under f 1000 bonds to ap pear before the United States Grand Jury in December, which meets in Portland. Harry W. Miller was also arrested and rut three warrants were orginally issued, one remain* to be served. So far the names of no people of promi nence have been mentioned in connect ion with the alleged timber ring which has been operating near Roseburg, but such a denouement would not be sur prising to those who profess to lie fami liar with the situation. Harry W. Miller, the first man arrest ed, was taken to Roseburg Monday to go to jail or raise ^1000 bonds. It was ex pected lie would lie able to rane the money. For the past two months th«-re has been unusual activity in the timber land bus iness in Medford says a recent dispatch to the Oregonian. About September 1st of this year Harry W. Miller dropped into Medford from Myrtle Creek, Or., and won thereafter a great number of titular land filings were made in town ships 40 and 41 south, range 2 and 3 west. The fact that these filings were made in almost solid blocks, and the further fact that many of them were made by [arsons who, under ordinary circumstnces, would not lx- able to pay the ex|M-nses of location, advertising and also |4U0 for the land when proofs were made, led government officials to suspect that there was something wrong. Benton Waits for Mill The 40-stamp mill for the Benton mine on Mt. Reuben will not lie installed until next year, the managers of the mine having decided that it is not prac ticable to attempt to freight so large an amount of machinery at so late a period in the year. A new road two miles in length will have to I m - built before the mill is taken in. Heavy winter freight ing over new mountain roads is a hercu lean and expensive task and the mana gers are acting wisely in deferring the transportation of the machinery until spring.— Rogue River Courier.
