GOVERNMENT is AFTER THEM.
Fences InclOsing Public Land Must
Be Torn Down.
Fight Is a Bitter One-Agents Of Interior
Department are Busy in the North
western Part Of state Collecting
Evidence for Prosecution.

ssThe war between the cattlemen and
settlers in northwestern Kansas has not
ended" said W. E. Ward, receiver Of
the Colby land Office. at is as bitter
now as it ever has been and viii break
out again within short time. a. II.
Burtis, special examiner for the interior
department, has been spending much
time in our section of the country and
It is generally supposed that he is col
Iecting evidence against the cattlemen
to lay before the grand jury when it
meets in Topeka next month.
There are about $1,000 acres of gov
eminent land in the Colby land Office
district and Of this at least 10000 acres
are fenced in by the cattlemen. The
settlers are anxious to drive the cattle
men out of that section of the country
and they have the government with
them. The cattIemen are rich and they
are doing all in their power to drive the
farmers out. The cattlemen in the south
ern and western part Of Kansas have
prepared to resist the fence order Of the
interior department and they do not ex-
pect to have to take down their fences.
The cattlemen in the northwestern part
Of the state have been watching to see
the outcome of the struggle between the
cattlemen and settlers south of them be-
fore they took action and the result is
that the government officials have be-
gun to work first in their territory 1t Is
said that A. 81. Burtis, the government
Inspector, has secured evidence against
many Of the most influential cattlemeE
IN northwestern Kansas and that he will
ask the next federal grand jury to indict
them for their refusal to comply with
the departments order requiring the
removal Of all fences from around gov
eminent land. The settlers are OF the
opinion that if several of the cattlemen
can be convicted and fined in the
federal courts it will result in throwing
10000 acres in that part of the state
open to settlement. The settlers are as
sistiug Mr.. Burtis in collecting the
evidence"

SCHOOL LANDS DECREASING.
Heavy Sales Owing to the Minimum Pric,

Heavy Sales Owing to the Minimum Price
Law.
The amount Of school land for sale by
the state is now less than one million
acres and is gradually decreasing, &C
cordiDg to statistics compiled by Seth
G. Wells, auditor of state. Originally
the amount Of government land in Kan
sss was ? 715yOOO acres. 1t was a difficult
matter to find purchasers for this land
until within the last ten years. In that
time the number Of acres on which pat
ents have been issued averaged neal "
10000 year.
This viii be the largest year in the
history Of the state land Office. The pat
ents already issued number 391 and the
fiscal year will not end for two and a
half months. In the last fiscal year only
412 patents were issued. The number Of
acres patented this year already exceed
the yearly average Of 10000 which has
been maintained 70. the last five years.
At the beginning of the present fiscal
year the amount Of state school land
which had been patented amounted to
1,522, 322 acres.
The land has been cheaper in the last
two years than ever before. Prior TO
1901 the state could dispose Of none of
this land for less than g an acre, as that
was the minimum price fixed by the
state laws. The legislature Of 1901
made a reduction in the minimum price
in the hope that it would afford the
state chance to dispose Of some of the
poorer lands IN the western counties.
Much of this land has been sold at the
reduced prices, but the county officers
have also been selling school land in
the eastern and central counties at the
minimum price and the state is realizing
much less for its land than it formerly
did. 1t was expected that the last legis-
lature would raise the minimum price
Of the land and for this reason there was
rush TO purchase the land just before
the meeting of the legislature and while
it was in session.

DEATH FROM BRAIN TROUBLE.
Ms. I'd Fender succumbs After Brief
Illness


Illness
Mrs. Bertha Fender, wife Of Ed Fend-
er, died Of inflammation Of the brain at
her home at Rhine, Kan. Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock, aged p. Funeral
services were held at the home Friday
at two o'clock and burial made IN the

ley, of Nettswaza, Kan, conducted the
services.
Mrs. Fender was taken III with la
grippe on April ?. She became quite
sick the next day and Dr. Gulick was
summoned and prescribed for her case.
No immediate benefits came from the
medicine and as the Tenders are Of the
church of the Latter Day Saints, which
believes in praying for the recovery Of
the sick, the medicine was thrown away,
and the remedial agencies Of Christian
science invoked. Mrs. Fender grew
worse rapidly. The symptoms Of the
Ia grippe disappeared but inflammation Of
the brain set in and she died on the Fri
day following.
Mrs. Tenders maiden name was
Knapp and before she was married her
home was in BelOit, Kan. Five or six
years ago Mr.. Fender was employed at
BelOit and there il was he first met Miss
Knapp. After their marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Fender came to Sherman county,
and after conducting the skimmiug sta
ton at Rhine for the Continental Cream
cry company for some time, Mr.. Fender
erected a building there and put in a
small stock of groceries and other goods.
He is still at the head Of the skimmiDg
station and has done very well in the
mercantile business.
Mrs. Ed Fender is survived by four
little children, two boys and two girls,
and her husband.
