Culver returned home on Wednesday evening's train from lTabr king, M'-nnesota, where he had gone to arreat F. W. Jewett, who was indicted by the Marion eonnty grand jury last April on the charge of subornation of perjury. The sheriff, brought his man, who, inune Jiately upon his arrival, de posited $1000' cash bail with County Clerk Boland and was released from custody.. -Mr Jewett baa engaged Ai torney George G. Bingham of this "city, and Attorney W. D. Fen ton and Fred V. Holman, of Portland, to defend bim against the charge brought by the state of Oregon. . -' ': !'!''-:. '"' The indictment , against Mr. Jewett charges that in August, 1902, he in duced Miss Emily Thatcher to swear falsely in. an affidavit which was part of an application for th purchase of state -school land. In the affidavit Miss Thateher swore that she wanted the land for her own use and benefit an! that she had no contract or agreement, express or implied, to convey; the land to any other person,' in ease she should be permitted to buy it. The indictment ehargej that this' affidavit was false, for the reason, that there jwas'an agree ment that Miss Thatcher should con vey the land to Jewett. ; The affidavit was made before A. p. Condit as notary public. f ' . ' "i ' ': Mr, Condit "says that in the. month of Augrfst, 1902, Mr. Jewett eame to h:s office In company with Miss .Thatcher and another lady and told him that the ladies wished to make application for the purchase of school and. j Mr. Jew ett produced .blank cer'ifijtes which Mr. Condit filled in as requested. Mr. Condit remarked to the (young ladies, "you are buying state land, re yout" to which they replied in the affirmative. After filling in tha blanks Mr. Con dit rea 1 over the documents to the la dies and administered the oath in the usual manner, after which they signed thoir names to Jthe affidavit and Mr Condit signed bis name and affix I his seal. The applications were taken away by Mr. Jewett, who paid Mr. Con diS's notary fee, and it was said, al so paid the requirt'd fee for filing the applications. .The assignment of Miss Thatcher's certificate to Mr. Jewett was not made in Mr.CondH's office. : Denies Agreement. -I .

He reports ideal weather on his entire trip. without any pretended or asserted per- manent title thereto. i The contention of the state is , that the United States . unquestionably owned the land when it granted the swamp land to 1860, and (that the. state of Oregon in the treaty . made with the Indians in 1 861 did not in shy man ner divest the state of its rights there to; that consequently the state 'has a right to all la rids within thit territory which can be Ishqwn to ,' have Tbeen swamp . lands . at the time the , act of congress of I860 went into effect, and that the' officials of ihe general land office and the secretary' of the interior had no power to allot any of such lands I j to the Indians under the allotmeni laws The decision of "the to the law pakseS , in 1818, which estab- Iished the territorial government o! statft bf Oregon seeks to have tho9e dMisioda rereried afid that "this t tonr mil by iu dTMf declar. that the titl of United States to nil, the u -.
