FORMER SECRETARY OF TREAs-
.URY GAGE SAYS THEY ARE
NOT MENACE TO SOCIETY.
Declares That II Man Makes Two
Blades of Grass Grow Where Only
One Grew Before and Takes to
Himself One-fourth Of Increase,
Letting Other Three-quarters Go
to Society, Latter Gets Bargain.

New York, April 29.-Former Secre-
tary of the Treasury Lyman ]. Gage is
in a public declaration defending
and their methods, assert
ing that the accumulation OF great indi-
vidual wealth is not inconsistent with
the material welfare of society. He
sail: "A clergyman has declared
thst nj man car acquire a million
without robbing somebody. That
sounds well to those who haven got
a million, but it isn't true. If the man
who can make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before and
takes to himself %one-fourth of the in
creased product. letting the three
fourths go to society, society gets a
very good bargain. That is what mill
ionaires do. There is a blind idea that
if a man has money he must have
taken it from somebody. That is not
at all so. Now, wealth is being pro-
duced all the time. The men who
have accomplished the great things
are the most poorly paid. no matter
how wealthy they may be. Individual
wealth is not robbery, or taking from
the DOOR, or an injury to society,"

THEY DON'T LIKE It
WYOMING DELEGATION DlSAP-
POINTED At FAILURE OF sHo-
sHoNE RESERVATION BILL.
Believed to Have Been Sure Of Pas
sage, but Defeated by Democratic
Members Of House at Last Mo-
ment-Aimost Certain Of Passage
at Short Session.

Washington, d. c., April 29.-The
Wyoming delegation in congress is
somewhat disappointed at the defeat
in the house at the last moment of the
session of the motion to concur in the
n amendments to the bill to open
part of the Shosllone reservation, thus
delaying final passage of the bill until
the fall session of congress. The
amendments adopted in the senate re-
pended for the benefit of the Indians
in purchase of chattels II in building
irrigation works, with a further amend
ment that the bill should go into eff
feet without waiting for it's ratiflca-
ton by the Indians.
Opposition to the measure came
from the secretary of the interior. who
has constantly hampered and delayed
the effort to open this and ether In
dian reservations. He enlisted the aid
of democratic members Of the Indian
committee in this instance and by fl
ibusterng methods action on the bill
was prevented at last nights session.
At the session the motion Of Mr..
Mondell. who was in charge of the bill,
to adopt the previous question on the
passage of the bill, was lost on a roll
call, democrats generally voting
against the proposition.
While this action delays passage Of
the bill, 1t will not materially delay the
opening of the reservation. the date for
the opening being June l. 1905. and
passage OF the bill early in the next
session being regarded al certain.

Return Passes for Drovers.

Kansas City. Mo-. April 29.-The Chi
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad
has officially acknowledged to the
Drovers' Telegram of this city that it
has decided to re%instate return passes
to stockmen under certain conditions,
which they would not divulge. 1t was
not stated when the new regime will
begin. Live stock o@ciais of other
railroads say they know nothing about
the Milwaukee's plan, and they did
not believe it would be carried out.
The Drovers' Telegram, however, has
positive Information sthAs-A~~S-be
the Milwaukee's action, and is thought
to be due to the Iowa law compelling
transportation, as the road has a large
trackage in that state.

HREE
ARRESTS MADE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE MAXWELL & STE
VEINS SHEEP CAMP RAID.
William L. Reyes, His Son, Harry. and
Wesley II. johnson Arrested on
State Warrants and Brought to
This C~ity-herder Had Received
Warning to Get Out.

Sheriff Cook. Deputy Sheriff Mckay,
County Attorney Gibson and County
Surveyor Buck returned this afternoon
from Tie Siding, where the sheriffs
had beer with warrants for the arrest
of some of the parties implicated in
the raid of Monday night on the sheep
camp of Maxwell & Stevens at Tie
Siding. They succeeded in arresting
William l.. Keyes and his son. Harry,
and Wesley H. Johnson. and brought
them to this city. The accused made
an effort this afternoon to secure
bonds in $500. each for their appear
ance before Justice of the Peace Grant
for preliminary hearing. The men re-
fuse to discuss the affair. and the Of
ficers found the same condition of
dumbness among the residents of that
section of the country.
Messrs. Gibson and Buck went to the
ranch to determine, if possible, the
question of the sheep having wandered
beyond the limits of the Maxwell &
Stevens grant. They found that in
isolated cases some of the sheep had
broken through the lines and wan
dered about the range, but these had
invariably been driven back. The gen.
tlemen learned that a few days ago
the foreman of the herders had re-
ceived notice that the sheep must be
driven out of the country, but the no.
tice was not given directly to Mr..
Maxwell. The men who served this
notice upon Mr.. Engbrson walked
through the band Of sheep. dividing
them into two lots. The foreman told
him he had plenty of gall to divide
his flocks. Il have gall for anything"
the intruder is reported to have said.
Mr.. Gibson said the field where the
sheep were slain was a most sicken-
ing sight. He declared it the worst
he ever saw. and this was borne out
by other witnesses of the result Of
the raid.
There are warrants for other men,
bers of the party, but they were not
served for the reason that the men
were not found. Children when ques-
toned we're as mum as an oyster,
showing they had been schooled in
their parts, and the matter OF evidence
will be a prominent one in the trial
OF any of the accused.
