AN EXTENSIVE SCHEME OF
LAND FRAUD AT ALLEGE
Chicago , Sept. 24 : . An exten
sive scheme of land frauds in gov
ernment lands in the vicinity of
Alliance , Neb. , was unearthed here
today , and Patrick J. King , for
many years the head "policy"
promoter of Chicago , was arrested
on a charge of being the ringlead
er. For three months secret ser
vice operatives have been at work
in Chicago in connection with the
existence of a company said to
have organized for the purpose of
llegally obtaining title to home
steads in Nebraska , and today the
first arrest was made on complaint
of Secret Service Operative Rob-
rt H. Ilobbs of Washington.
Subornation of perjury was the
specific charge on which King was
arrested. Pie was arraigned be
fore U. S. Commissioner Foote on
bonds until October 4.
It is charged that King , with a
number of other men , has used
aged civil war veterans and their
widows to further their scheme of
obtaining title to vast tracts of land
in Nebraska. King is charged
with having fraudently obtained
title to seven sections of land from
as many former soldiers.
Agents of King are said to have
persuaded former soldiers to file
claims on land , after which they
were induced to sign contracts to
transfer the title to King. The
prospective homesteader was then
given railroad fare to Nebraska
and his expenses paid. When title
was cleared the land was turned
over to King. The land filed up
on is of little value at present and
irrigation was relied upon to make
the scheme profitable.
King's case will have to be trans
ferred to the courts of Nebraska
for trial , because the alleged fraud
was-committed there. King de
manded and was given a continu
ance. World-Herald.
