and ALL If you listen to scraps of evil
dence only, you can be convinced that
any man is a Scoundrel."
The board decided that the book
should not be read. but agreed to let
DR. Gray tell the whole story of the
Irma Brown affair. and this the doctor
proceeded to do.
DIR. GRAY TELLS HIS STORY.
Il will explain why l registered at
that hotel as Leon Howard and wife"
said DR.. Gray in beginning his story.
Trina Brown came to me about July IL,
1901, and said that she was sick. pre-
scribed for her and it did no good. She
went TO Oklahoma. thinking to benefit
her health. When she came back, she
was worse, and her sisters wanted her
to take an examination. She came 10
my office to take this examination and
then refused to take it, Subsequently
that she said she had decided to take
the examina ton. She then said she
wanted to tell the truth. and admitted
that she had not always been good
girl. She cried and said she would COM
nit suicide. She asked me to help her.
| suggested that she go away from
home. She asked how much it would
cost, and I told her about 5000. She
decided to follow this plan, and told her
family that l had diagnosed her COM
plant as kidney trouble, and had told
her to go to Kansas City to have an
operation performed. Her sisters ar
ranged for her to accompany me to
Kansas City. as I was about to start for
Chicago. They said to take her with
me to Chicago if necessary. After we
started. Irma refused to stop in Kansas
City because she had relatives there.
She was very sick all the way to Chi
cago When we got there, l registered
at the hotel as Leon Howard and wife,
at her suggestion, so that 1 might be
able to go to her roo!s and take care of
her when she needed it. She suggested
the name for me to use.''
At this point the hearing was ad
i0llrned

ing their holdings materially. This is
particularly true in the cases of the
Russian settlers. The Russians are the
hardest and therefore perhaps the best
class of people for the western part OF
the state.
Considerable trouble has developed
for the United States district attorneys
Office of Kansas on account of the pro-
pensity of western Kansas cattlemen for
fencing up government lands. There is
a statute which prohibits the fencing of
such land but the cattlemen are under
the greatest temptation to do so since
the days of the open range have passed.
Small tracts never pre-empted adjoin
or are surrounded by the holdings of
cattle grazers who find it most econ
omical to fence up the government land
along with their expanse of grazing
ground. Government land is free range
District Attorney J. S. Dean has en-
deavOred by peaceable means to secure
the influencing of all such grazing
ground and has been in some measure
successful. As in some instances obedi-
ence to such orders means material det-
riment to the interests of cattlemen
there has been considerable reluctance
to take down fences. United States
District Attorney Dean has prepared a
list of cattlemen who are maintaining
fences on government land and will
push his work of clearing them.
