Denver. Nov. s9.-The News this
morning prints the following special
from Omaha;
There Will be bioodshea out in Ne
braska before this land fence matter is
done with, but | propose to have the
fences torn down II | have to send
force of cavalry there to do IT," said
President Roosevelt to Colonel John 5.
Moshy. special agent OF the land de-
partment. according to statement
given out by the latter here to-day.
Il have come here with instructions
to tear down the fences. and incident
ally to clean out the fraudulent en-
tries upon government lands which
said Colonel Mosby. Senator Millard
OF Nebraska. continued he, not long
ago tried to get me TO suspend the law
and to let the fence matter rest until
he could get new law enacted this
winter permitting the fences to stand
but told him could not do it,
Colonel Mosby has been snbpoenaed
to appear before the federal grand jury
Monday to tell what he knows about
the land entry frauds and the fencing
OF lands by the cattlemen.
II want to get Bartlett Richards be
fore the jury" said he. "He could
probably tell why sixty-seven soldiers
widows arrived at Alliance on one
train and took up lands on which he
has fences"
Bartlett Richards is one Of the big
cattlemen OF Nebraska. and is broth
er of the governor of Wyoming.
Mosby will at once begin proceed
ings for the removal of fences from
government land In Nebraska. He said
that tracts containing thousands OF
acres have been fenced In by cattle
men. and that his purpose was TO have
these fences torn down. After con-
ferring with United States District At
torney Summers he will go to North
Platte and Alliance. where notices will
be served upon the alleged yiolators
giving them sixty days in which to re-
move the fences.
A considerable number of iudict-
ments are likely to be returned, and a
good many official heads are likely to
be chopped OF as a result Of the
searching examination now being
made by the federal grand jury into
the alleged fraudulent land entries In
Nebraska. There is no longer reason
able doubt that conspiracy has been
entered into by the big cattle com

OF the respect and confidence OF their
neighbors. white and black. both In the
South and in the North. From such
teaching and counsel no influence can
ever divert me.
What conferences | have had with
the President or with any public off,
cial have grown out OF my position not
as a politician. but as an educator.
"At every proper opportunity | say
TO the youth of our people that they
Will make a mistake If they seek to
succeed in life by political actiy-
ity. or the hope of holding po-
litical office. Now and then. however
public questions affecting our interests
arise which are so far-reaching and so
fundamental that they transcend the
domain of politics. When such ques-
tions present themselves. In justice to
my race. l make my position known.
and stand for what see to be the
right.

THE health of the army has shown
a continued improvement. The deaths
from all causes during the calendar
year 1901 amounted to 1894 per thous-
and of mean strength as against 22.I4
per thousand of mean strength during
the calendar year 1900. This large re-
duction of death rate was in great
measure due to improved conditions in
the Philippines.
The principal military events of the
past year have been the end OF the
military occupation of Cuba and the
end of the insurrection in the Philip
pines.
Referring to the operation Of sec
tion 3S of the act of February 2, 1901.
which prohibits the sale of beer and
light wines in post exchanges, ! said
in my last report that a great body of
reports had been received. which indi-
Gated that the effect of the law was un-
fortunate, but that / thought suiii-
cient time had not elapsed to give the
law a fair trial and that the obserya-
tion and report of its working would
be continued during the ensuing year.
"A great number of additional re
ports have now been received. and
they confirm the impression produced
by the earlier reports. ] am convinced
that the general effect of prohibiting
the use of beer and light wines within
the limited area of the army post is to
lead the enlisted men to go out of the
post. to frequent vile resorts which
cluster In the neighborhood, to drink
bad whisky to excess. and to associate
intimately with abandoned men and
more abandoned women; and the op-
GRAFTON of the law is to increase drunk
enness. disease of the most loathsomc
kind. insubordinatiop and desertion.

how IL was done He said he would
buy me ticket from Omaha 70 Broken

Broken Bow would meet me at the train

Broken Bow n gentleman met us at
the train and took us to n hotel in IA

and filed on homesteads. as we had
agreed to. Then each OF US signed
sons paper which the agent said was

and we took the train for home. IL
didn't cost us n cent for anything, and
we were just the s75 ahead or course.
