The case of Frank Rockefellcrvs.
E. T. Webb, was heard Tuesday
Webb attached the land formerly
owned by Frank Siegel, which had
been decided to Rockefeller, and
took possession of same. Rockefel-
ler brought suit for possession and
won. The case will no doubt go to

Stock Commission Co. about a year

The committee on public lands
continued its hearings March S on
the grazing bill drawn by the Nation
al Stock Association and introduced
by Congressman Bowersock, provid
ing for the leasing of public lands
west of the Tooth meridian at2 cents
an acre. At the hearing many let
tiers and remonstrances from home
steaders protesting against the bill
were read. Members of the commit
tee are convinced that there will be
no legislation of the character at
this session of Congress, and it has
been decided to print in a congress
sional document the statements that
have been made at the hearings and
distribute them among the people of
the west, with a view to starting a
general discussion on the subject of
grazing leases. 1t is not believed
in Washington that the Bowersock
bill will ever be heard of again
