The Globe Silver Belt announ-
ces the death of Ed Tewksbury,
in Globe. Deceased was the last
surviving member of the Tewks-
bury family, who was engaged
in the deadly feud with the
Graham family in Tonic basin
several years ago, and in which
from start no finish between
thirty and forty people were
killed.
While it was called the Tewks-
bury-Graha feud, the two fam
lilies were only a small percentage
of the number actually engaged
in the conflict. The Tewksbury
family engaged in the conflict
consisted of the father and four
sons. Two of the latter were
killed, and the father and one
son died shortly after the close
of hostilities. There were only
two or probably three of the
Grahams. One was killed by
officers while attempting to arrest
him. Another was shot and
killed in the Salt river valley
while driving along a public
highway Several parties who
took an active part in the deadly
conflict which ragged for two or
three years are still alive, and
are now as peaceable and law
abiding as any citizen of the
territory. -Jourual-Miner.

PAY FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Districts Deal Literally With Their
Educators.


The various school districts of the
state of Nebraska have dealt literally
with their school teachers during the
last year and while the total amount
teachers is a decrease when compared
with the amount spent last, it does not
follow that the individual salaries of
men have decreased, for the reason
that the number of men teachers en-
ployed this year is less than the year
before. According to statistics compiled
by Chief Clerk Harnly for use in the
biennial report of Superintendent

IT AFFECTS NEBRASKA LANDS

Knkaid Has Some Amendments to
tie Laws.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Kin
kaid of Nebraska introduced an
amendment on the opening day Of con
gress to amend the homestead laws
affecting certain lands in the western
and northwestern portions of Ne
braska which would extend the time
six months within which entrymen
under the bill effective last June may
occupy the land so entered. This is a
trifling matter compared with other
law, which, it will be remembered, in
creased the area of a homestead entry
to $40 acres.
Prominent Nebraskans propose a
law to amend the Kinkaid law. provid-
ing for the sole use of grazing lands
for grazing purposes. This proposition
is made in the hope of promoting the
settlement or profitable occupancy of
the vast area of grazing lands tribu-
tary to the Burlington. Union Pacific

state. Charles f. Henderson of Omaha,
general solicitor for the Burlington,
would have the department of the in
terror survey these lands and put them
into three classes--namely, first,
arabic lands; second, irrigable lands;
third, pastoral lands The latter class
Mr.. Henderson would have put on sale
at not less than 10 cents nor mere
than 20 cents an acre.
An other idea is to sell, under the
direction of the secretary of the in
terror all lands not disposed of under
the Kinkaid act. Still another amend
ment provides for buying the land out
right at 10 cents or more an acre, in
the discretion of the secretary of the
interior.
Mr.. Henderson has laid his ideas
before the members of the Nebraska
delegation in congress and has re.
quested them to join him in confer.
ence to be held at Washington or at
Omaha some time this month.
