weather was not cold and the storm

sand and snow.

I certainly never before saw anything
like that sand storm, and no one could
conceive it's terrors without having
been in it. At Cheyenne Wells, Colo,
station on the Union Pacific, thir-
teen cars of sand were taken from the
depot platform. Cuts were filled with
immense drifts, which averaged about
two-thirds sand and one-third snow.
The bodies of two sheep herders who

squatters Must Go.

Washington, April 10. : Secretary
Smith to-day took up the protests OF
the Yankton Indians against allowing
the State of South Dakota to select
school lands within the ceded reser-
yation. The secretary decided to rec
ommed to the president, who has the
proclamation declaring the lands open,
yet unsigned, to temporarily withhold
his signature. He will allow the state
two weeks within which to file argu-
ments showing it's rights to select
these lands, and thereafter will render
his decision. 1t is probable that In
the meantime he will take some steps
to have squatters removed from the
reservation, task that may require
tile use Of United States troops.

Counterfeiting Gang.
Chicago, April 11.-United States Sc
cret service officials In Chicago and
Washington have unearthel probably
the most unique and at the same time
important swindlc ever perpetrated
upon any government. Its magnitude,
after two days Investigation. can only
he guessed at, but it is believed thou
sands upon thousands of dollars have
been secured by gang of skilled
LOunterfeiters, who have reproduced
with wonderful skill and accuracy the
pink 2-cent stamp of commerce.
1t Is thought the country is flooded
from New York to San Francisco with
these spurious stamps, and the United
states has been carrying millions Of
letters from which not one cent of
revenue was received.
Chicago, apparently, has been the
headquarters of the gang, and it's
product has been shipped to distri-
buting agents through the express
companied. Just exactly how the in
formation reached the government Of
ticials is not known. But they evi-
IDENTIFY got a straight tip, for last
evening Capt. Stuart, of the postal in
spectors' department, and Capt. Por-
ter, of the United States secret SER
vice bureau, called at the Wells-Fargo
office. They were taken to the store
room, and there found an oblong
package, looking like n big roll of
music. 1t contained 10000 of the coun-
terfeit stamps.

wheat has greatly improved during

as badly winter killed; in Nebraska
the crop has suffered from drouth and
