THE MATTER IN THE SENATE.

ton provision Of the homestead act

back OF the proposition for the repeal
of general land laws and refuted the
statement that the motive OF the men
fayoring the repeal Is to increase the
value OF private holdings. Mr. Gibson
read from Hansbrough's speech TO the
effect that lobby was back OF the deal
and criticised Mr., Hansbrough for not
naming at least one OF the railroads or
persons he alleges to be back Of the
movement for the repeal of the land

STRIKING MINERS
WILL RESUME WORK
Five Hundred Men at EveIeth
Decide to Accept the Com.
pany's Terms

DULUTH, Mimi, June 4.-The 500
striking miners at the Drake & STRAIT
ton works at Eveleth who laid down
their picks and shovels on Thursday
because of a reduction of Is cents in
their wages, have decided to-accept. the
terms imposed by their employers and
return to work on Monday morning
When the strike was declared the com
pany officials stated that if the men
did not want to work for $1.60 instead
of $1.75, the scale that has been in
vogue, they did not have to, and the
entire works would be closed down un-
til such time as they were willing to
come to their terms.
At mass meeting held in Eveleth
today, attended by strikers and citi-
zens generally, it was decided by the
men to call the strike off and an ap-
peal was made to the company to re-
lnstate them The officials, it is said,
were willing to allow them all to re-
turn with the exception of the ring
leaders, and the assumption is that the
stripping work will be resumed at once.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-06-05

Is alleged that they are Systematically
planning to have these employees and
other confederates take up the lands
under the new law as soon as it goes
into effect. The barons will furnish
the cattle to Craze the lands during
the interval; the men who take them
will have steady employment and thus
will be able to comply with the re-
quirement to live on the lands; and
when the five-year period is ended the
barons will be able to buy the tracts
for a very small consideration, because
the owners will have no use for them.
Would Have to Sell
Having no stock of their own and be-
ing compelled to fence in their indi-
vidual tracts at large cost, the cowboys
would be unable to do anything but
sell to their employers and continue in
the service as herders.
This is the plan which is said to be
developing. The barons will have the
cooperation of many people who are
willing to take the land, hold it, secure
a title and then turn it over, if they
can be assured of employment during
the period preliminary to getting title.
1t is considered doubtful whether
there is any legal remedy. One of the
best informed men in the grazing re-
gion, d. H. Cronin, postmaster at
O'NeiIl, said:
81 don't know whether the big cattle
men have it all fixed up, but people
generally in our section incline to the
opinion that they have. There are
about 100000 acres in this tract, and
it would be worth the while of the big
cattlemen to spend lot of extra mon
ey in the next five years, if by doing
SO they could secure title to such a
region. 1t is larger than Massachu
setts, New Hampshire, New Jersey or
Vermont, and as large as Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Delaware taken to-
gether."
The lands which may be taken un-
der the square-mile homestead act ex-
tend as far eastward as Holt county,
120 miles west of the Missouri river.
From there they extend to the west
boundary Of Nebraska, $50 miles. The
counties involved are Holt, Rock,
Brown, Keyapaha, Loup, Blaine, Gus
ter, Logan, Thomas, Cherry, Hooker,
Mcpherson, Grant, Deuel., Sheridan,
Dawes, Box Butte, Cheyenne, Sioux,
SCOTS Bluff, Banner and Kimball. The
Union Pacific, Burlington and Elk
horn railroads run through the tract,
and there are many prosperous little
towns.
Cattle raising, however, is the only
industry. Twenty years ago the Ne
braska boom carried thousands of set
tiers into this region, where they tried
to farm. They were starved out The
land will not farm. There is too little
moisture. After this crop of home
steaders had been forced to give up the
lands reverted to the government, and
then the big cattle men discovered the
possibilities of the region for grazing.
To fence the lands is impossible be-
cause the cattle must be free to wan
der from place to place, seeking the
best grass at a particular season.

ment Mrs. Patterson was brought in
to be taken to the coroner's office
Millin was leaning against the rail
when he saw her. He started at her
with a rush. She shrank back against
detective. Millin again rushed at
her, but two or three detectives held
him until the woman was out of sight.
Millin shouted at her as she left the
station house.
The woman was taken to Coroner
Browns private office and closeted
with him. While there Millin appear
ed. He tried to break into the room
and get at the woman again, but was
prevented. He called the woman
names and shouted that he would kill
her if he had a weapon.
Mrs. Patterson said she was a niece
of the cashier of a leading New York
bank. She heard a muff1ed pistol shot
directly after Young had told her he
was going to leave her.
How do you know it was a pistol

Strange Admission

"Yes"
An autopsy was performed on the
body of Young, after which the ex-
amining physician said he was unable
to say whether the wound was self-in-
ficted or not. The coroner committed
Mrs. Patterson to the Tombs without
bail. There is no formal accusation
against her, however.
Mrs. Patterson met Young in Cali
fornia and it is understood she came
East about the same time he did Ae-
cording to YOung's friends, the trip to
Europe, had for it's object the breaking
off of his acquaintance with Mrs Pat

of the shooting said that when he look

woman's lap. The patrolman said he
believed Young was then dead or near
ly so. The pistol was not in his hand,
but was found in his right-hand sack
coat pocket.
Woman Is HystericaI
The woman was in a state of col
lapse and hysteria. The policeman ex-
pressed the belief that Young after the
shooting was unable to place the pistol
in his pocket.
Millin said that Young never carried
a revolver under any circumstances.
Millin insisted upon being connected
with the case and was held in s., 900
bail as a witness, which he furnished.

ceived from. Browne, where it was
found by her mother yesterday morn
ing. The letter contained the plans in
detail, and when it was read in the
Ne1derstom home no time was lost in
putting a stop to the match.
Young Browne, who says he is
twenty three, but does not look to be
more than nineteen, is employed as a
clerk in a railway office in Chicago,
and when he hit upon the idea of
eloping with the pretty Milwaukee
girl, whom he met only a few weeks
ago, he gained her consent and then
conf1ded his plans. She could travel to
st. Paul on transportation secured in
the name of his sister, and he would
come direct from Chicago and meet
her here. The transportation was en-
closed and the plans detailed in the
letter.
The girl announced to her parents
on Friday that she was going to spend
the night at the home of a friend,
stating that she would not be home
until the next afternoon. The suspi-
ciors of the confiding parents were not
al OOSC0 O1lh carly yesterday InOTn-
ing, when the letter was found. An
investigation disclosed the fact that
the girl had already left the city hav-
ing departed on a train which is due
in st. Paul at 8 o'clock.
Rushed a Message
Realizing that there was no time for
delay, the father telegraphed to Sher-
iff Justus and took the first train COM
ing this direction. He reached here
shortly before 10 o'clock last night,
and was happy when informed that
the marriage had been prevented.
Young Browne had arrived over the
North Western in the forenoon and
was at the depot to meet his pretty
sweetheart when she arrived. Leaving
her at a hotel, Browne applied for and
secured marriage license, and an
hour later was en- route to Court
Commissioner GallicI's office when
stopped by the unfeeling deputy sheriff
who had been waiting for the couple at
the court house.
AT first the elopers denied their
identity, but when requested to pro-
duce their license they weakened and
resorted to appeals, all of which were
in vain. Deputy Hardick took the girl
to the county Jail and placed her in
the care of the matron, an action
which the youthful Browne denounced
as an outrage.
Browne declined to say anything
regarding himself, but it was learned
from Mr.. Neiderstom that the young
man had never met Mary until a few
weeks ago."

a fine accomplishment of the log
rollers art.
AS the time approaches for the lands
to open, the question is being more Sc
riously asked whether the actual set
tiers have been bilked, congress taken
in, and Uncle Sam victimized by the
cattle barons who for many years have
used these lands without right, title
or interest. 1t is being freely charged
by people in the district concerned
that the barons purpose to use the new
law to get control of the greatest estate
held by any one interest in America.
Richest Man in Valley
The Observation-Disclosures cattle group
is the boyle worrying people. Rich
ards lives in Hooker county, Nebraska,
and is brother of the former governor
Of Wyoming who bore the same name.
Nobody has ever been able to figure
how many tens of thousands of Rich
ards cattle Craze from year to year on
these Western Nebraska plains. Rich
ards is several times a millionaire and
in the cattle country is considered the
richest man in the whole Missouri val
ley.
For many years the Richards cattle
and those of other barons grazed over
these Western Nebraska lands. Then
the barons took the liberty of fencing
in great domains, and from this devel-
oped the immense scandals Of two or
three years ago. These resulted in the
| indictment Of the offenders, and after
a determined battle the removal of
most of the fences.
Even yet, however, not all the fences
have been taken away. The cattle still
roam over the government lands, but
the monopoly of the barons is of course
broken.
A year ago everybody in Western
and Northwestern Nebraska wanted
the Kinkaid bill passed providing for
the 640-acre homestead on these lands.
The argument was that it would save
for the smaller settler a chance to get
enough land to make a living. But
now the question is whether the barons
are not going to use this act as a
means to securing absolute title to
their great grazing domain. People
are awake to the danger, and say there
are increasing evidences of the scheme.
The method Is simple. The big cat
tlemen have large numbers Of cow
boys. herders, ETC.. In their employ. 1t
