County farmers He said threefourths of the Coun-
ty was bankrupt. He lived somewhere in the East,
sd had good deal of money loaned out ON mort
cages, but said he couldn't get any money. But y
he added, "Im bound to bring them. I'll squeeze
them until they do pay" 1t is just such squeezers
that bankrupting not only Kansas, but the whole
West. But what objected to in this man was,
that if lie is going to take peoples farms, he
should do it in legal way, and not carry them away
with him by piecemeal At that very time, he had
not less than forty of good soil his hands,
and looked IA if he might have the remainder of the
quarter section deposited other parts of his body.
