Press accuse these gentlemen OF DESERT

dates? If so, why are they afraid to say
it publicly? Who are the pine land
barons of Saltwater? Jacob Bean, John
G. Nelson, Otis Staples and other equally
prominent Republicans. Are they, too,
i'll il combination to defeat his royal
Knutelets and his serene BobletS? If
so, why did Jake Bean contribute the
usual 5000 10 the Republican campaign
fund, and why has john G. Nelson
been promised the appointment as sur
vSyor general of the Saltwater district!
Let us know about these things, MIR.
Dunn. for the people are really getting
curious, don't YOU know. But. not con-
tent with telling about Bob'S personal
affairs, his organ undertakes to make il
appear that Bob had something To do
with the
Pine Land Investigations.
1t is true that after making an unsuc-
cessful attempt to "swipe" a school
section in Mile Laos county, John
Gross, Len Pratt and Bob Dunn did put

section, and succeeded. The state

through the efforts of this commissio
that all the suits for recovery on tres

only did what the legislature c0mpelle
him TO do in the matter of suing G. A
Smith IL Co., and the net proceeds [
