o. Il. Cooper Fully VIndlcated.

The decision of the Commissioner oi
the General Land Office, approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, on the
charges against o. L. Cooper filed by
Special Agent Greene (since deceased)
was received yesterday. 1t fully and
completely vindicates and exonerates
Mr.. Cooper, who was charged by Mr..
Greene with various illegal acts in the
procuring of homestead entries and the
purchase of the same after final proof in
the Black Hills Forest Reserve. The
trial was had in the local land Office sew
eral months ago, and put Mr.. Cooper to
great expense and also bothered his
piece of mind not little.
Mr.. Cooper naturally feels keenly the
injustice of it all, but as he has been so
completely vindicated by the "powers
that be" he cannot afford to be magnani-
nous. Mr.. Cooper and his lawyers,
Messrs. Schrader & Lewis, are to be con-
graduated upon the vindication received.

lor pardon for nephew, who is in the
penitentiary; that he came by way of

Governor Brown, from whom he obtained
a letter recommending the pardon, and
that he was not brought here by political
matters. He said it would be shown fur
Their that Howard took no part in the con-
spiracy to murder Goebel but at all times
counseled against any sort of violence.
Howard was the first witness on the stand
in his own behalf He was on the stand
three hours. He denied many of the state
ments made by the witnesses of the COM
monwealth as to conversations with him.
He said:
II first came to Frankfort in January of
1900 about the 22d day of the month. Ac-
companied by ST SayIer and Jim Gross,
/ went to Louisville to call on former Gov
ernor John Young Brown to get him to
write a letter TO Governor Taylor relative
to the case of John ID. Howard / was here
for several days before and after the
shooting of Senator Goebel. When 1 heard
of the shooting l was in the left lobby of
the House of Representatives, talking TO
Will Lewis, the member from my district,
and others. L left the lobby with every
body else and l came down and out OF the
building by the front way"
Howard denied that he had a conversa-
ton with Wharton Golden on the night of
the shooting in which he said that the
negroes did the shooting, that he said
he heard Frank Cecil say that 'Tallow
Dick did ii.
Towards statement that he was in the
lobby of the House when the shooting took
place was corroborated by Representative
j. A. Mahaffey, Jasper Pearl, James Nc
Knight and James Gross. Gross was on
the stand under cross-eXamination when
court adjourned for the day.

the Rocky mountain districts and central
valleys and would prove beneficial in the
middle Atlantic States, while excess Of
moisture has hindered farm work In por-

mally high temperatures in Kansas and

parts of the country.
