valley early in the season are in
fine condition and many OF them
are being turned off for beef to
local butchers.
Stockman: J. w. Brown, who
owns large bunch of cattle near
Fort Thomas, was visitor at
county seat during the week, says
the Solomonville Bulletin. Gen
erous summer rainfall has made
that locality one of the most pros
porous cattle districts in the coun-
try.
Stockman: Charles Wilbur and
brother, who have a ranch at Ari-
vaca, recently made an expert
mental shipment of carload OF
yearlings, tifty-two head, to Chica-
90. 1t may be thai the experiment
will prove out all right, but the
chances are against shipping range
stuff to that market.
Holbrook Argus: George Scott
came in Monday with bunch of
sheep that he had sold to William
Booth, but after making arrange
ments for shipping, Inspector West
of Flagstaff quarantined them.
This was done much to the disgust
of many sheepmen, as his rea ons
foa quarantining were very weak.
Stockman; The generous rainfall
in the vicinity of Benson has made
that portion OF the Territory bloom
AS the rose. During the month OF
August the ground was soaked
nearly every day and now mantle
of green covers the country for
miles, and wild flowers abound on
every hand Cattle are working
only half time.
Stockman: The crop OF mesquite
beans is reported good all over the
mesquite country, which is almost
everywhere throughout the south
western range country. These
beans being an excellent crop for
the fattening OF cattle, materially
help the range situation, which,
generally speaking is in excellent
condition minus the bean crop.
Stockman: The western cattle
men who have acquired the lands
of soldiers widows in manner
which the United States general
land Office at Omaha says is illegal
will fight that decision before
vacating or yielding title for their
holdings The fight is upon the
homestead residential clause. If
this point is valid, the ruling
stands and these vast areas must
revert and be thrown open for
homestead.
Clifton Era: The first case Of
importance under the new live
stock law was tried before Justice
Carlton at Duncan last week. In
all twenty-one head OF stock had
been taken possession of by Inspec-
tor Spaw. and OF this number only
one was clearly accounted for.
Wiley +. Jones, assistant district
attorney. appeared for the Terri
tory while A. e.. McAlister of Solo
knoxville, appeared for the several
defendants. 1t was hard fought
legal battle, but the law was main
tanned. A peculiar feature of the
law is that there is no appeal from
the decision OF the justice of the

Bulletin: DR.. F. c. Dolley of
Arizola, shipped six cars of cattle
containing some 246 head from the
local stockyards on Wednesday
morning. The cattle will be
placed on DR.. Dolley's range near
Arizola, where he has extensive
cattle interests. The stock was
obtained in small lunches from
the farmers near Pima and the
price paid for the cattle is said to

been enjoying free transportation
from their homes and the shipping

Organized Attack
1t is not denied, however, that there

However. they were soon rallied and

Object Not Known.
Conflicting statements are current
here today with regard to the object
OF the mob in its raid last night. 1t is
not denied by some that the attack was
concerted move on the part of the
fendists to take Curtis Jett and Tom
White, who are awaiting their hearing
on the charge of killing Marcum.
Some say that the object of the attack

others contend that it's purpose was to
rescue them from confinement.

telegram received here from Jackson
says that the firing of sentries late last
night upon three men. who approached
the jail,where Jett and White. accused
ofathe murder of ]. b. Marcum, are

sneak across the street from the bank
south of the Jail and the guards com
manded them to halt. They refused
and in reply fired several shots. The
guards returned the fire and the prowl-
ers ran about 100 yards further and
fired again. The guards then poured
three volleys into them in rapid sue

showed that the firing was accurate
and the shots numerous, although no
one was hurt.

Pocatello, Idaho, May 2S.-Roosevelt
ceived warm welcome. He was met
several miles outside the town by
band of Indians from the Black Foot
reservation, who raced along the side

A Land of Liberty
Butte Mont, May 2S.-"Ours is a
government of liberty" declared Pres
ident Roosevelt i'm an address at the
banquet which was rendered to him in
this city last night. The address was
a memorable one and is in fact, sum-
ming up of the Presidents views of
the country from his point ofsvantage.
He said.
mo man is above our government,
and no man is below it. The crime of
cunning and the crime of greed, the
crime of violence are all equally crimes
and against them all alike the law
must set its face.

government of the plutocracy or the
mob. 1t is, as it has been. and as it
will be. government of the people,
including alike the people of the great
wealth, of moderate wealth, the peo-
pie who employ others. the people who
are employed, the wage worker, the
lawyer, the mechanic, the banker. the
farmer, including them all. protecting
each and every one if he acts decently
and squarely and discriminating
against any of them, no matter from
what class he comes, if he does not
act squarely and fairly, if he does not
obey the law.
While all men are foolish if they
violate or rebel against the law, wicked
as well as foolish. yet the most fool
ish man in this republic is the man of
wealth who complains because the law
is administered with impartial Justice
against or for him. His folly is great
er than the folly of another man who
so complains, for he lives and moves
and has his being because the law
does in fact protect him and his prom.
erty.
Must Support the Law.
we have the right to ask every de-
cent American citizen to rally around
and to the support of the law, if it is
ever broken against the interest of the
rich man. and we have the same right
to ask that rich man cheerfully and
gladly acquiesce in the enforcement
against his seeming interest of the law
if it is the law.
incidentally, whether he acquiesces
or not, the law will be enforced Who
ever he may be, great or small. at
whichever end of the social scale he
may be, whether his offense take the
shape OF physical violence, if it is an
offense against the law, it must be

THE RIVER AT oTTuMwA.

At 2:30. o'clock today the river at
the Market street bridge stood at
twelve feet and seven inches above
low water mark, showing a rise OF
eight inches since 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The river at present is
practically at sandstill having risen
only two inches and a quarter since
O'Clock this morning.
The height of the water and the
probability of a repetition of the flood
of last year is giving the merchants
who have stocks, Of goods in the base
ments OF their stores along Market
and Main streets much anxiety and the
water condition forms the chief topic
of conversation in Ottumwa today.
Can Rise TWO Feet.
There has been no damage done so
far and unless there is a further rise
of at least two feet, there is no imme-
diate danger. AT Milwaukee junction
the river is practically stationary, hav-
ing risen only trifie over an inch
since O'Clock last evening. In Cen
trail addition it will take a rise of two
feet and half before any special dam
age will be done. Some of the resi-.
dents have become alarmed, however
and this morning two loads of furni.
ture and household goods were moved
out. The planning mill and Snooks &
Son., located just across the Wapello
street bridge is running as usual and
