The way in which the frauds were worked ‘8 a plain one. A number of outsiders and several officials had an under- standing for she purpose of expedit- ing homestead entries in forest re- serves. Under the forest reserve law it was provided that any person ia good faith, who had made an entry and built a home within a forest reserve, might go before a United States .] Commissioner and, by proving the fact, exchange his land for another timber claim in surveyed land be- longing to the government.

Wall was the result of an enmity that existed be tween Todd and Well for twenty-five years. Both were well-to-do and prowinent citizens of Richards, fi! teen miles north of this city. At times the bitter feelings between them would subside, and they would befriends. An instance of this was when Todd was a candidate for the Legislature, and Wall led his del- egation to the county convention. The bitter feeling returned, however, and the men have since been enemies. On May 20 this year Wall and Todd had trouble early in the morn- ing, and two hours later, when Wall- rode by Todd’s office, he was shot and killed. Todd claimed Wall made move to draw a pistol, and that he shot In self defence. The fact that Wall had passed Todd a distance of forty feet before Todd shot gives round for the opinion that Todd did not shoot in self defence, hogs, veal mutton and turkeys.
