appointed head OF the animal husbandry

of one OF the best stock and dairy farms
in the state of Iowa, The demand for

moval. Judge Baxter indicated to the court
that he believed the defendants were men
of their word and would do as they agreed.
The order of Judge Munger, as recorded
on his docket. relative to the sentence Of
Richards and Comstock, is as follows:
Sentence--To pay a fine of $500 and be
imprisoned in the custody of the United
States marshal for six hours and pay one
half the costs.
This order was issued November 10.
The commitment at once was given to
United States Marshal Mathews and the
defendants were taken into custody. They
were later in the evening given in charge
of their attorney, r. s. Hall, who agreed
TO assume the responsibility for them.
Marshal Mathews was somewhat skepucal
as to the absolute technical correctness OF
the commitment and no return of the COM
mitment has yet been made to the district
court, the document still being in the pos
session of Mr.. Mathews.
The fine and costs in the case were paid
to the office of the United States district
clerk and the same receipted for on No

The sentence of Richards and Comstock
was pronounced about 5 O'Clock the even
ing of November -, and the extent of their

VIGOROUS PROTEST TO MOODY
Entire Nebraska Delegation Demands
that Mathews he Heard.

Entire Nebraska Delegation Demands
that Mathews he Heard.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ESPECIAL Tele-
gram 1.-The Nebraska delegatiOn-and that
means every member of the delegation-had
a conference today with Attorney General
Moody in relation to the order of the presi-
dent dismissing T. l.. Mathews, United
States marshal for Nebraska from the
service. 1t seems fair TO say that not in
years has there been such compact
agreement that hasty action was taken as
in the case of Mr.. Mathews. For two hours
the conference lasted and during that time
II is understood every member of the dele
CATION voiced the sentiment, as they had
received it in numberless kilograms, that
the punishment of dismissal was not de-
served" as one member expressed il.
The attorney general replied that the
dismissal followed great offense and not
a misunderstanding of the law, as he un-
derstood it, AS a unit the delegation asked
that Mr. Mathews be given hearing. The
attorney general, however. was non-com-
initial He held generally to the PROPOSE
ton that the president took the action
after due consideration and therefore that
a hearing as to the merits of the case
re sted solely with the president. Mr.. Moody
was courteous, but diplomatic. He refused
to say whether or not Mr.. Mathews would
be granted a hearing should he come to
Washington to present his case in person.
The attorney general said the removal Of
Mr.. Mathews was an executive action, and
that the president only could decide the
rights or wrongs of the question.
One OF the members of the delegation
suggested that il was most unusual that
an ofioer should be removed without the
senators or members being advised as TO
| the contemplated action, Attorney General
| Moody. however, emphatically stated that
there was no need of advice when persons
| in the service were found derelict in duty
The custom has been" he said. Ito advise
the congressional delegations of states as

tons OF the commonwealth in protest o.

Just how far the delegation will go in pro
testing against the dismissal Of Mr.
Mathews without bearing, in view Of thu
order of the president, is problematical
but the fact remains that there is
deprecated feeling that a reprimand woul'
have served the purpose in carrying GU

COUNTS
n THE INDICTMENTS


Certain Ones In Noted Bill QUashed
by the Court.
The removal of United States Marshal
Mathews relates primarily to the execution
OF the order of Judge Munger, made in
the Bartlett Richards and w. G. Comstock
cases. 1t will be remembered the defend
ants entered a plea to certain counts in
the indictments against them. These counts
referred wholly to the actual amounts of
land they had under fence. Those counts
Of the indictment several in number, which
related to their connection with the fences
of other parties in the enclosure OF the
212,OO acres Of land, were quashed on formal
motion, and the plea of guilty
applied only to the emasculated indict-
ment, or, in other words, only to such
fences which the defendants owned and
maintained II was further agreed by the
defendants that where 1t was shown there
were unlawful fences around the public
lands for which they were responsible that
these fences would be removed and that
they were now removing fences as rapidly
as they could get help to remove them.
Further, II there was any dispute regard
ing fences they would abide by the judg-
ment OF the courts regarding their re-
