WON'T RUN FOR Governor.
Mr. Bryan's Reply to Those
Who Want Him to Run for
Governor of Nebraska.

Replying in the Commoner to the
editorial by ex-senator Allen in the
Madison, Nebr., Mail proposing Mr..
Bryan as the candidate of the fusion
forces for governor OF Nebraska,
Mr.. Bryan says:
II have no personal ambition to
serve, there is no office to which 1
aspire. I am not only content to do
the work which am now doing, but
! believe that in this way l can ac-
complish more for my state and for
the United States, as well as for my
political associates, than could ac-
complish az candidate for governor
whether my candidacy resulted in
defeat or success.
"My candidacy is not necessary to
defeat the reorganizers. While I
expect to do all that is within nv
,EQWer to aid those who are deter
mined to prevent the Clevelandizing
OF the democratic party, yet the
success of that effort does not de-
pend upon me or upon any influence
that | may be able to exert. It de.
pends upon a multitude of earnest,
honest and loyal democrats, who
having seen the party once debauch-
ed by an abject surrender to pluto
cratic influences, will spare no pains
to protect the party from another
such humiliation and disgrace.
Il am not and cannot be a candi-
date, and I beg you to make no fur
ther mention of my name in conDec-
with this Office. On the contrary, I
hope you will hold yourself In readi-
ness to throw your great influence
to such democrat or populistas may,
in the opinion of the delegates, give
the best promise of uniting the
fusion forces Of the state in SUI
preme effort to recover the state
from republican hands.

Both Timmons and Horlocker state,

ture is doubtful.
ROBBERY THE MOTIVE.
Nothing new has developed in tn e
murder case at White Owl in which
Puck and Ostrander were killed.
The sherla has not yet returned, but
is working on some clues found at
Puck's house. Bloodhounds are now
on the track of what may prove to
be the murderers. There is now no
doubt about the motive for the deed
for careful examination showed
many valuable things in the house
missing. Nothing in the history of
Meade county has so stirred the
people, for it is now believed the
murder was committed by persons
who had been admitted to the house
by Puck and Ostrander to spend the
night. Cattlemen have their own
law aud should the mnrderers be
caught there would certainly be a
lynching.
FOLLOWING A CLUE.
Another link came into the pos.
session OF the sheriff Sunday when
he was called to Whitewood and
found that check signed by
James Puck on Tuesday had been
cashed at a store in that place on
Wednesday by an unknown person,
who, to the best recollection of the
Whitewood merchant was a half
breed Indian.
The check was evidently taken
from the unfortunate man on Tues
dry and the murder was committed
during the wee sma' hours Of
Wednesday morning. More clues
are said to be in the hands of the
authorities and the trail of the as
sassins is being closely followed by
the officers. The sheriff has return
ed, but is working on some clues
found at the mems house. 1t is now
believed the murder was committed
by persons who had been admitted
to the house by Puck and Ostrander
to spend the night.
ONE ARREST MALE
Sheriff Smith arrested the man
who cashed the check purporting to
come from George Puck, one of the
murdered men. The check, when
presented at the bank, was not ac-
cepted, as it had not the mans sig
nature.
The man was arrested several.
miles from Sturgis and is a half
breed, giving his name as Ernest
Bird. Sheriff Smith is still work
ing on more clues, and the man
thought to be one Of the murde ers
is now in Jail.

DEMOCRACY FOR THE WEST.
Democrats Stand solidly for
National Irrigation and the
Measure Wins by a Hand
some Vote, Senate Con3urs
and the Bill Goes to Roose-
velt for His Signature.

Y government AID IN the reclama-
tion of the lands of the west is now
an assured fact. The national irri-
cation bill was passed at 4:30 D. m.
last Friday by q vote of 146 to 55.
The Democrats presen ted practi-
cally solid front on the measure,
and largely to their untiring efforts
to bring enlightment to the house
must be credited the handsome vote
which was accorded the bill. The
house leaders for the second time
this session went down to defeat.
They argued and harangued, threat.
ened and cajoled, but the fates were
against them.
The bill as passed creates re-
clamation fund from the sale of pub
lie lands in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Dakota, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming, less the amount paid
to local land Offices and ) per cent
due the state under existing laws
for educational purposes, the re-
clamation fund to be used for the
construction and maintenance of
irrigation works in the states and
territories enumerated. Provision
is made for the payment out of the
treasury Of any deficiencies in the
allowances to agricultural colleges
owing to this disposition of public
lands. The secretary of the interior.
is authorized to examine, survey
and construct the irrigation works
and report the cost thereof to CON
gress at each session.
Section provides for the letting
Of contracts for the works contem-
plated in sections when the neces-
sary funds are available in the re-
clamation fund for such section.
Section provides that no right
to the use Of water for land in pri-
vate ownership shall be sold for a.
tract exceeding $50 acres to any one
land owner and no such right shall
permanently attach until all pay
ments therefor are made, and no
such sale shall be made to any land
owner unless he be an actual bona
fde resident on such land or occu-
pant thereof, residing in the neigh
borhood of said land. y
Section 6 authorizes the secretary
TO use the reclamation fund for the
operation and maintenance of the
irrigation works.
Section 8 requires state control
over waters of non-navigable
streams such as are used in irriga-
tion.
On Saturday the senate promptly
agreed to the house amendments to
the irrigation bill. This passes the
measure and sends the bill to the
president.
