MAY COST n E DEAR,
alleged Grand Island BInckmaiIcrs Face
Another Charge,

John Patterson and Charles Walling.
n two men who we're arrested at
Grand Island for impersonating detec-
ives n extorting money from Henry
Sander, and endeavoring to do so from
William Linderman, proprietors of re-
sorts managed on the club plan, were
put up to q sweat box process by
County Attorney Horth. with the re-
suit that they admitted their guilt.
The prosecutor made a ten strike, not
only securing the confessions of the
men that they were guilty of this
crime, but also they were the two
masked men who held up Dick Met
feldt one evening about two weeks ago
near the Union Pacific shops and re-
lieved him of $23 in cash and a GER
tificate OF deposit in the amount or 5000
In the First National bank of this city.
When well into the case of holding
up Sander for $40, the prosecutor
turned to Walling and asked:
And wasn't he designating Patter-
SOM helping you in the hold-up Of Dick
Nietfeldt?"
Walling was thunderstruck. Finally
he admitted that he did and Patter-
son then also confessed. The men
were arraigned in the county court an
hour thereafter on the charge of high
way robbery and pleaded guilty.

BILL FINDS FAVOR
Nebrasks CattIcmen Inclined to support

t..
Petitions are being circulated arA~sk
the cattlemen asking their signatures
for the purpose of inducing the pres
ent congress to BASS Senator Millard's
land leasing bill.
An important amendment in defer
ence to the wishes Of the small stock
men has been made to the bill. II pro-
vides that "homesteads or surveyed or
unsurveyed public domain. taken in
good faith prior to January /. 1902.
shall be benelciaries as freeholders''
under the bill. This is an important
amendment and makes the bill much
less objectionable than without il. Ii
Is evident to any one familiar with the
conditions in the western portion of
Nebraska that there should be some
provision made for the disposal of the
government land yet remaining. The
homestead law is not applicable I'M
der present conditions, but nutil a
Measure can be brought forward that
will meet with the approval of all or a
large majority there is very little
chance that any change will be made
In existing laws. Should the order be
enforced compelling all fences to be
taken down and removed from gov
eminent land it will work a great
hardship. A very strong effort is being
made to have the interior department
modify this order and in fact it is said
that the cattlemen, or the stockgrow-
ers' association will attempt to have
Secretary Hitchcock removed unless he
modifies his order. The large cattle
men believe that the president is In
sympathy with them. The officers Of
the association and important and in
fuential cattlemen are no win WASH
ington looking after their interests.

Ihat Was r. X. Kcnnnrd's Commission
al sale Of indian Lands.

That Was r. x. Kcnnnrd's commission
ON sale OF Indian Lands.
The brief Of the plaintiff in error in
the ease of Thomas T.. Kennard vs.. the
state of Nebraska has been received
by the supreme court of the United
States. II appears from the facts as
stated that under section IL OF the en-
aiding act under which Nebraska was
admitted 5 per cent of the proceeds OF
the sale of all public lands within the
state sold by the United States subse-
Quent to the admission of the state,
after deducting all expenses incident
TO the same, shall he paid TO the state
of Nebraska for the support Of the
common schools. Subsequently, in
1873, the Nebraska Legislature passed
a resolution empowering the governor
Of the state to appoint an agent or
agents to collect the amount due from
the government for the gale Of these
lands. the agent to receive 80 per cent
of the amount collected. /
Under this authority Governor Fur
mas appointed Thos. y. Kcnnard and
made "a contract with him for so per
cent of the amount as stated. Ken
nard soon after secured a decision from
the interior department awarding to
the state 8 per cent of the proceeds OF
the sale of lands In the pawnee Indian
reservation, amounting to S27. 0f3. SO
This money was turned over to the
state treasurer. Mr.. Kcnnard was I'M
able To obtain his share of the same.
He was permitted by act Of the legisla-
ture &c bring suit against the state
and action was commenced in the dis
trict court Of Lancaster county and a
judgment was rendered In favor OF
kennard. The state appealed the case
to the supreme court of the state and
the judgment Of the lower court vas
reversed. Kennard then flied a motion
for %rehearing and the case was re-
manded to the United States circuit
court for further proceedings and a
judgment was rendered against the
plaintiff. whereupon he appealed the
case to the supreme court Of the United
States.
