sheriff Usea the Torch.

For several years there has been a
dispute between Nebraska and South
Dakota as to which owns an island ly-
ing south Of Vermillion, comprising
about 1000 acres OF land. Recently "a
number OF squatters took up claims on
the land in question. They baitt them
selves houses, and this spring put in
crops. Saturday afternoon tho3sheritf
OF Dixon County, Nebraska, went to
the island Of the squatters, and while
the men were working in the fields
drove the women and children from
the houses and set fire to them. With
two or three exceptions, every build
ing was destroyed. The sheriff, in
explaining his action, said he was
given authority to fire the shanties by
County Judge "A. w. Rose. After TAX
ing legal advice, the squatters have
each decided to bring action against
Sheriff McCabc and Judge Rose for
Sd, 900 damages.

The Populist Legislature OF 1891,

passed the Senate, was sent to the
House and amended, and then sent

SUMMARY.

ST. LOUIS special: What the Off
cials OF the Air Line alleged was adcs-
perate attempt to hold up n of their
passenger trains near Centralia, ILL.,. !,
was reported to General Passenger
Agent Campbell. When train No. 4
arrived at C%entralia, H.. five desper-
ate looking men were seen to board it..
Two boarded the blind baggage" and
two entered the chair car, while one
took refuge in the smoker. Before
the train vas hardly out OF the city
limits two of the men in the chair car
made a bold attack upon the passen-
gers. One gentleman was relieved of
SlCO while a companion lost several
mileage books and a number Of val
liable papers. The two men then ap-
parently became frightened, as they
| jumped from the train while it was
going at full speed. Their comrades,
realizing that the train was deserted
| by the leaders, followed suit before an
attempt was made to enter the express
car. The train was stopped by the
conductor, out 1t was too late to appre.
heud the perpetrators, as they beat u
hasty retreat and disappeared in the
woods.

| Bank Of Oshkosh, Wis. Business firms
in the places named had indorsed the

are being made to catch the forgers
who are still probably flooding The
