A Land Mark Changed.

The issue of The Austin
Daily Register of July lst, con-
tanned the announcement of
the retirement of H. o. Basford
from that publication. NJ
Basford had been connected
with the paper the past 81 years
and the past dozen or fifteen
years more or less had been
sole proprietor and editor. The
editor of The Times served his
first three years at the printing
business under Mr.. Basford, be-
ginning ~ years ago. who then
had the distinction of being the
best all round printer in Min
ncsota. In the retirement Of
Mr.. Baslord. who goes to Colo
RADIO for the benefit of his
health, The Times scribe feels
that he is more than ever scpar-
ated from d life long friend and
benefactor-a bcnefactor, for if
not before in latter life we see
how nearly right was Mr.. I5as-
ford in all his teachings and in
structions, which we're d
matters frequently, outside OF
the print shop. And the last
several years we have seen his
paper every day.
Austin, every man, woman
and child in it, loses a warm
generous and open hearted
friend in this retirement, for
we know that II. q. I'asford
loved his work and his friends.
But mortal man cannot live in
full power and strength past
his allotted days, and the time
comes when he must rest. No
one will follow our life long
friend to Colorado with more
sincere wishes for his comfort
in the evening of life than does
the editor of The Times.
AS to The Register, it seems
to have fallen in good hands,
having been purchased by the
Hon. Samuel Sweningsen, one
ot the best known men in
southern Minnesota and we'll
known all over the state and
northwest, who has associated
with himself that capable
journalist W. G. Cameron late
ot Winona. We wi h Mr..
l'asford long life and content
'nent III his proposed Colorado
home; And the new proprietor
promises from work already
done that the old land mark
snail put on new strength and
iir" lite and flourish with! the
best Of 'em.

A Difference Among People.

Among the tokens Of good
fellowship about The Times Of
flee. is a fine ligthograph of
Grover Cleveland in the lower
part of the face of a large clock
hanging upon an office wall.
1t seems that the other dav
Editor Van Arnum of the Wall
cott Reporter happened in. we
having found this note upon
our table:
Mr.. CARED: Dropped in to
make you a friendly call, but
found the office vacant save the
picture of Grover which hangs
out in bold relief the pride of
all loyal democrats. Hope to
see you before leave town.
Yours truley,
Gro. NANAKNuM.
This at once called attention
to the difference frequently
found among men. and it is
needless to say-a pleasing diff
ference in this instance.
Occasionally certain gentle
man drops into the office with
the exclamanation: "Iiot that
picture up there yet. have a
picture of a disagreeable bull
pup would like to let you
have for that place"
And then the other day a
gentleman drop ped in and
wanted to put a "yaller dog" in
Growers place in the clock.
And then republican
ventured in the other day who
unconcernedly or quietly asked
if that clock kept good time.
Casuually,he was answered cert.
At once our republican friend
observed that he thought, pos
sibly, it would not with that
picture in it. And then added
further, yes, Grover was greater
than his party.
And SO it goes. men have
various opinions of the only
man the democrats have elect
ed president in 10 years more
or less.
This. too. in the face of the
fact that it was Grover CIcve-
land who made the fight and
prepared the mind of this great
free people for a presidential
fright along the lines of a sound
money issue. And nore's the
pity that his own party didn't
know enough to accept the
situation and elect the presi-
dent, but suffered the republi-
cans to put up silverite and
rank protectionist to win, solely
on the issue forged by CIcvc-
land, d,-sound money and com
confidence.
But the men back of I'rcsi-
dent Mckinley have given the
pendulum tremendous stroke,
and in their work Of undoing
the constitution and recon-
struction along unknown and
experimental lines, they may
bring on panics and hardships
which may be their undning in
spite of all the great resources
and elasticity of these United
States.
However. all this and the
picture in the clock. does not
mean that The Times enter
tains any notion of springing
Grover for 1904. Oh. no, not
that.

CATTLEMAN CONVICTED
OF ILLEGAL FENCING

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. Nov. 24.-(Denver
Republican SpeciaL)-The jury in the
case of the United States against \. \.
Spaugh. the ManyiIle. WyO.. cattleman,
who was charged with Illegally fencing
and holding for his own use tract OF
over 22J,OpD acres of government iand
in Converse county, last night returned
a verdict for the government The
penalty is a fine of from 81 to $1,000 or
Imprisonment in the county jail OF
from one day TO one year, or both
Judge Riner will sentence Spaugh next
Monday.
The defense in the Spaugh case ad-
mitted the construction of n large part
of the fence in controversy. but sought
to show that it did not make com
plete enclosure and denied that he had
ever appropriated the lands within the
fence to his own exclusive use.
\ number of witnesses We're intro
duced who testified thar the lands in
waived were used by Il great number of
people: that about 1000 head of sheep
not belonging to Spaugh We're kept on
the lands and that cattle and horses
in large numbers belonging to other
people Were kept there. And the de-
fense showed by witnesses that no one
had ever been prevented from using
the controversy that ever arose was
with relation to the use by others for
their sheep of the private lands belong
ing 10 Spaugh.
Spaugh was summoned before the
court several months ago. the action be-
ing taken as the result of the inyesti-
cations made by special agents of the
United States land office, who We're
sent to Wyoming a year ago to look
into the complaints made that certain
cattle and sheep concerns had Illegally
fenced large tracts of government land
The trial of the case was commenced
last Tuesday and its progress has been
watched with unusual interest. Both
sides made a strong fight. but it was
admitted by those familiar with the
case that Spaugh would be convicted.
The government will at once wage a
vigorous war against land grabbers in
the West. and special agents are now
actively engaged in getting evidence
against a large number of stockmen
and others who have Illegally fenced
thousands of acres of the public do
main. obstructed highways and pre-
vented settlers from filing upon the
government lands.
