The report of the Commissioner of the
General Lind office is of special interest
on account of the widespread and far
main, frauds that have been uncover-
ed in the •equition of the public lands
by soulless syndicates and reckless ad-
venturers. It is shown that within the
past two and • half years more than
thirty million *Cr.. of land have been
reclaimed by the Government, that about
five thousand land entries were secured
by moans of perl.ry, and that many
other disreputable and irregular methods
were employed by these swindlers to de-
fraud the United States.
The Secretary of the Interior has

against Jesse Lee Hall, agent for the
Kiowa, Comanche, and Wichita radians,
