AFTER STOCK THIEVES.
Nebraska and South Dakota Cattlemen
Ar Determined.

Nebraska and South Dakota Cattlemen
are Determined.
Chicago, July IA dispatch from
Chamberlain, S. D., says: A lawless
state of affairs exists in the northern
part of Nebraska and the adjacent ter
ritory in South Dakota, and only the
most vigorous measures on the part of
the authorities will remedy many of
the evils existing.
For years the country between Ly-
man county directly west of here. and
Holt and keya Paha counties. Neh
has been infested by what appears to
be an organized gang Of cattle and
horse thieves. Enough has been learn
ed to make il a certainty that this
band has a rendezvous at various points
through the fifty or sixty miles of ter.
ritory where it operates Cattle and
horses that stray toward White river
disappear with great regularity, as also
do cattle and horses belonging to farm
ers and stockmen residing throughout
that portion of South Dakota. This
leads to the conclusion that the thieves
take stock stolen from South Dakota
farmers and ranchers and dispose of
them to the settlers in Nebraska.
Certain residents of the infested ne.
gions who have no visible means Of
support are suspected of being in
league with the thieves, but no posi-.
tive evidence has as yet been secured
against them

Denver, July Is. - Attorneys for
water consumers began proceedings in
the district court today to compel the
city council to carry out the contract
with the Denver Water Company, re-
quiring reduction Of rates TO the aver
age charge Of St Louis and Cincinnati.
besides asking for the alternative Of a
maDdamus to compel the passage Of
the ordinance provided for in the con-
tract The complaint asks that injunc-
tions be issued restraining the company
from shutting of water from private
consumers. and also compelling the
corporation, its agents and employees to
desist from influencing the members
OF the council to act contrary TO their
duty under the contract The COM
plant charges that the members of the
city administration, especially the
councilmen. secured their election by
making a pledge. which they have not
redeemed, to adjust the rates according
TO the contract, and the water company
is accused of having. by bribery, ca
jolery and threats, prevented the pas
sage of an ordinance, which would full.
fill the provisions of the contract.
At conference between the mayor
and the members Of the city council
today. it was practically decided to
buy the water works. The mayor will
ask the company TO name a price and
terms for its plant Immediately.

His Rscksning.

Washington, July IL. - The &C.
counts Of Ainsworth 3. Sponord, who
has been many years librarian Of the
Congressional library, have been held
up about three months by the auditing
officers of the treasury. pending an in.
vestigation. There ID NO allegation, 30
far as can be learned, Of wrongdoing
on the part Of the library employee, but
there il . discrepancy in the accounts.
1t Is the opinion Of the treasury Off.
Gals that the financial afairs Of the
librarian, who handles considerable
sums received from copyright and other
sources, are not conducted in Q bust
ness-like manner. About forty.five
people are employed at the library, and
the pay roll amounts to about $4,000
per quarter. The treasury department
has not given any money TO the library
pending the investigation, but the en-
ployes have received their salaries
regularly. Mr.. Spofford personally
advanced the money.
Mr.. Spodord was not disposed to say
much today. save 70 state that the
matter was q discrepancy in the &C.
counts, and that they were being in.
yestigated. New methods Of keeping
the accounts may result from the affair.
The Law provides that if the accounts
do not reach the auditor within ten
days after the last day Of the quarter
for which they are rendered, they shall
not be approved, but shall be referred
TO the secretary of the treasury for his
action. In some cases it is impossible
for the accounting officers to make
their returns within the time specified,
and an extension has always been
granted readily in such instances.
Librarian Spoford's accounts for the
quarter ended March 81, should, under
the Law, have been in the hands of the
auditor today. They have not been
rendered. Meanwhile, the aduitor of
the treasury. having charge of the
Librarians accounts, has declined to
approve any requisition for money. and
there has been q sort Of deadlock.
