MORE LAND JUMPING.

Mr.. Will Wilmington, of Usage
township came into town "Wednesday
morning and get out awrit of injunction
against certain unknown parties VINO
had, on the evening previous, forclbly
entered upon and taken possession OF
quarter section Of land which is owned
by brother-in-law of his, and OF which
he has charge AS nearly as we can
learn them the facts are these. On
Tuesday afternoon while Mr.. Whit
tingtoE was out hunting he saw four
men driving two wagons loaded with
lumber, going toward this piece OF
land. He met them with a shot gun
at gap i'm the fence and forbade them
entering. They then drove around the
field and attempted to enter at another
side which was not fenced. Mr.. w.
met them on the line and again for
babe them entering. After some par
ley, one of the men stepped behind his
wagon and drawing a revolver on
Wilmington cursed him and ordered
him to leave. After about ID minutes
he concluded to obey and they entered
the place and proceeded to erect a
shanty.
The land is owned by Mr.. Frank NJ.
Hays, of Illinois, a young man who
bought it three years ago and who has
been working for wages since then to
pay for it. He has just recently got it
paid for and is expected out soon to
take possession of it. His brother-in-
law has been pasturing it, built stock
pond, and has got it nearly fenced.
Such being the facts it is to be hoped
that the courts will show little mercy
to the men who are trying to rob him
of it, For it is plain robbery and moth
ing less can be made out Of it. The
four men were strangers to Mr.. Whit
tington, and we don't know whether
they belong to the League or not. If
they do not they have certainly taken
lessons from that organization for their
methods of procedure are very SINH =
lar. If they are acting by authority
of the League, our space is at the dispos-
al of any member of the order who
wishes to Justify their course. If they
are not we will gladly publish an Of
fetal statement to that effect.
LATER.-Deputy Sheriff Brown who
was sent out to serve the writ, reports
that as he approached the shanty,
which had just been finished, two
men got their guns and stood waiting
for him. When he informed them that
he was an officer, they receded from
their warlike attitude and said they
would come into town and employ an
attorney. They said they had just
arrived from Missouri; that the League
had told them they could hold that
land and they expected to do it; that
they did not now belong 10 the League
but expected to join it. They alsO
said that they were going TO put up
another shanty on a claim adjoining.
We have only space to ask, what good
thing can be said for an organization
that encourages and advises men to
steal land that has been bought and
paid for by hard labor?

NEW WORKERS IN KANSAS.

For some three or four years past,
following the lead we believe, of Ned
Dibble, one family after another of
people from Orleans county, New
York, have been dropping into the
Elizabeth Town neighborhood, a few
miles east Of Colony. Last week it
entered into the mind of some one, to
get them all together and count noses.
Accordingly an invitation was eX-
tended to all of them to meet at the
residence of Mr.. a. L. Dibble in this
city, on last Saturday. The invitation
was gladly accepted and the result was
that forty persons, old and young, met
together and had the jolliest time i'm
aginable. We know they had, for it
was cur great good fortune to be pres
ent at the gathering as an invited
guest, and we saw them. Seated
around a long table spread under the
arching trees and laden with an almost
endless variety of good things, they
were certainly as happy a crowd in
appearance as has been seen for many
a day.
1t seemed to be the unanimous wish
of all present that an organization
should be formed and that arrange
ments shonld be made for holding an
nual reunions. Accordingly, after the
dinner had been disposed of. A. L.
Dibble was called TO act as temporary
chairman and c. b. Randall as tenn
porary secretary. G. f. Everett, ID. p.
Young and Will r. Lord were appoint
ed a committee on permanent organi-
cation. The report recommended that
the organization be called '.The Orleans
County, n. Y. Association of Allen and
Anderson Counties Kansas" and sug-
gested that A. l.. Dibble be elected pres
ident; Mrs. Hollis Smith vice-president:
Miss Phila j. Randall. secretary; and
VIM. E. Minckley, treasurer. The
report in all its parts, was adopted.
On notion, d. P. Young, L. Chatter
ton and Osro c. Minckley were ap-
pointed an executive committee for
the ensuing year. A vote of thanks
was rendered Mrs. Will Il. Lord, mas
much as she was the prime mover in
this enterprise. Short congratulatory
addresses were made by most of the
gentlemen present. On motion it was
made the duty of each member to
notify the others of the sickness or
distress of any member of the organi-
Zatlon and TO render such assistance
as was in his power. 1t was also de-
termined TO have another reunion
about this time next wear. leaving
time and place to the discretion of the
executive committee. The secretary's
report, copy of which was kindly
furnished us, shows the following per-
sons present: Mr.. and Mrs. A. l..
Dibble; Mr.. and Mrs. ID. 7. Young:
