The story of the alleged timber land frauds in Montana dates back 10 or 12 years, when the federal government took cognizance of them. IS. T. Bonner and A. B. Hammond of Missoula were then charged with cutting millions of feet of timber from the public lands. 8ults were brought against them, but through the exercise of political Influence the suits dragged along in the federal courts for years and finally were dismissed. Afterward Bonner and Ham mond sold their $1,000,000 interests to Marcus Daly and the Anaconda Copper Mining company.
