The Higgins vs.. George Troth

Tuesday, a number of witnesses
for both sides gong up.
1t was bitterly fought over all
day, Attorney Saum for Higgins
and Attorney John Nelson for
Troth, and before the case finish
ed 1t introduced an application to
the Department of the Interior to
have the q. S. Examiner to come
here and have roads opened up IN
the Madden pasture fence so that
he and other homesteaders could
get to their lands freely, same as
was required IN the Dewey rancho
and the Garden city rancho.
The Schlver Road law, making
all section lines public roads, was
introduced in the case, and It's
constltutionality was attacked and
now it goes direct to the U. S.
courts.

We have always claimed that
the Free Press Is the paper every
body should take if they want
all the news and the straight news.
Our editorial writer's may have
their ideas but the news columns
give you things as they occur, so
those not present may know what
occurs at the county seat.
And it was well demonstrated in
the Hays papers last Saturday.
The Republicans held a conyen
tion-read the NEWS DESCRIPTION

nominated and just what was done
as you did when the democratic

BRIGHTER
OUTLOOK
Indications Point to an Early Ad-
justment of Difference
With Turkey.
Line of Action to Be Taken In
Case Negotiations Fail
is Decided Upon.

Washington, Aug. 13.-After several
days silence Minister Leishman has
been heard from through a dispatch
dated at Constantinople recounting
the results of the last exchanges be-
tween himself and the foreign Office
officials there. The state department
did not see fit to make public the min
ister's communication, but did make
the general statement that the nego-
tiations had taken a more favorable
turn and there was an expectation of a
speedy and satisfactory adjustment.
1t cannot be learned that any further
instructions have been sent to Mr..
Leishman and it is believed that the
department will refrain from doing SO
until he has completed the present
phase of the negotiations and has not
been able to succeed.
Foreign affairs, to the practical ex-
clusion of everything else, were con-
sidered at the days meeting of the
cabinet. Secretary Hay, prior to the
meeting, had received a cablegram
from Admiral Jewell, commander o.
the American European squadron,
which has arrived at Smyrna The
cablegram was received by the navv1
department and transmitted at once
to Secretary Hay. The Turkish situa-,
tion was discussed at length and al
line Of action, in case Minister Leish-,
mans efforts are unavailing, was
agreed to, but it's nature was not dis
closed.

STRIKE TO CONTINUE.
Chicago Retail Dealers Will Take No
Further Action.

Chicago, Aug 13.-Retail meat deal
ers will not continue their efforts for
joint conference of packers and
seek to arrange with the union team
tied up George Duddleston, mem
called on the packers, said:
Il can see no reason why the retail
meat dealers should make any further
effort to bring about settlement be-
tween the packers and the strikers.
We devoted many hours to arguments
Thursday and it came to naught.
fear another meeting would be equally
futile.
There is bitterness among the
packinghouse teamsters because other
teamsters are alleged to have failed
to give desired support to make the
teamsters' tieup effective.
Strike leaders are preparing to force
the lesal department of the United
States government to take hand in
the settlement of the strike
The plan is to make the government
put the perpetual injunction against
illegal combinations in operation
against the meat trust.
The packers are said to be making
arrangements for running when the
strike is over with 5000 less men than
were employed before the strike. 1t
is asserted to be the intention as soon
as things are normal to employ just
enough men to give all a full week S
work and full weeks pay This, it
is estimated, would mean that 5000
men would be dropped permanently.
Heretofore many cattle have been
bought on one day and fewer on an
other. The result was that the whole
force was employed on some days and
only part of the force on others.
