ner introduced us to Tutor as we wenti
in. Mr. Puter had the application there, !
made with' this description of the land.f
on his desk. The first he showed me
said was an application, the same jas'
everybody used in applying to purchnie
school land. He made the following
proposition: He would put up $"t0 f tr
me to go .and 'make application fori
school land, whieh would cost 1800 inf
all, and I should sign an assignment
for .the land -.which' would secure for
tiim h '00 nl thB h wonlJ ronl-
plete the purchase himself, and I would
retain one-tentu interest in tne ianu j
for my share in the transaction and
for my right to purcKase land from th
state. I would asidn the other 9-10
interest. And he further told me that,
he would buy my 1-10 interest in the
land at any time after I had made tho
application and paid over' the $00,
which he would furnish. But the as-1
signmont blanks which I signed were
represented to be of no value until
signed lofore a notary public. He had
ten of these assignment. blanks, which
loeked to me lite a transfer from me
to him, but were not filled out at all. I
finally 'agreed, to and did sign all ten I
of them, being assured that thje' trans-j
action was entirelv legitimate, and was.
only to secure him for the money he
was to furnish;. He told me to meet
him at the office of the state land bolird
at the state house at half jmst 10 the
neXt morninjr, and present the appli
cation, with the money which he would
furnish, and to tell the clerk of the
land board that he should give any
paper that I was to get in Teturn for
the application to Basil Wagner. At
half past 10 the next; morning I met
Basil Wagner, at the state house, : and
he gave me a check or draft on the
bank, as 1 supposed, for f 200, whifh I
took and presented with the applica
tion, and sicrnpd my name twice on the
application before one of the clerks ;
in the stale land office, the last being j
to the affidavit on the application. In
the evening, Puter gave me i$20,asi
guarantee th?t I nhouKt have my one
tenth interest in tlie land, and as an
Inducement to sisrn an asimnient. I
expected to sell him the one-tenth in
terest. (Signed) " K. H'l ARLAD."

Edwards Favors th Return of Doss to

'Cougars, wild cats and coyotes-are'
becoming so numerous in a great many
sections of thi? Ktate, that a bill will
'shortly, be introduced in the Legisla
ture to put a large bounty - on these
animals.'' said Representative Edwards
yesterday" when he was making a
speech against the Miles bill relating
to the better protection of large prime.
The -Miles 'bill. contained a little clause

controllable when the matter' was
brought, to his attention. He wns as
surred at. the -beginning that the
jectionable" clause, as Jlr. Kdwardn
termed it, would in no. way further the
restriction of hounds, as now provided
by law, but he would not sit down uu
til he had expressed his convictions
Mr. 'Kd wards made the statement
that several years before the enacting
of a law to prevent the running of
game with dogs, the animals -mentioned
were- very, scarce. Hunters and ward

they are now almost at a premium in
the sections where they are needed the
most to catch cougars, coyotes, etc He
said that, in Benton county, before this
law was enacted, there were nearly

animals have leeome so numerous and
bold that there remains not to exceed
two or threef hundred of thcfie sheep
