susceptible to comparatively easy ir-
rigation.
In addition TO the agricultural
lands there are also large quantities
OF grazing land on which cattle,
sheep and horses may be raised with
great success. Of all the western
Indian reservations that have recent
~ opened for settlement there are
none that will furnish the homes,
which will be built upon the Uintah

years.
On the headwaters of both these
streams there are great forests of
pine and spruce timber, which will
furnish an in%exhaustible supply Of
lumber to the settlers Of the lower
valley.
The mineral resources OF this great
tract are no less valuable than the
agricultural productions, consisting
OF hydrocarbons, asphaltum, glison-
lite, coal, sand-asphaltum, copper,

FOR DESERVING the ARMY
Will H, Gregory Placed Under Ar.
rest on Charge of Deserving
From Regular Army.

tuesday afternoon a little after Z
O'Clock, Policeman Briggs placed Viii
liam III. Gregory under arrest on the
charge of DESERVING from the United
States army. Young Gregory az.
rived In the city Monday evening ant
appeared on the streets the next day
seemingly oblivious that he doubles.
would be arrested by the officers. lie
was taken to the county Jail ane
Chief Keith notified. the commanding
officer Of Fort Douglas, neal Omaha
CT the arrest OF Gregory.
Will Gregory enlisted i'm the regular
army at Portland, Ore, August %
1904, and instead of giving his owr
name he assumed that of James III,
Rogan, who was a former resident o.
this city, hut now resides in Brown
county. In giving the name of I
person with whom correspondence
could be had in case of AN accident,
he gave the name Of Mrs. II. Greg.
DRY, and the relationship as that OF
mother. He accompanied his regi,
ment to San Francisco, CAL, and or
Jan. %, 1905, it is alleged that he de.
serted from She army. This inlorma.
ton was supplied Chief of Police
Keith last February by the com
handing officer at Preside, Monterey
CAL, and evidently they had looked
up the record of the soldier, for on
the information blank it was stated
that Rogan's right name was Will III.
Gregory.
The young man has resided in
Mitchell for d number of years, and
until a few years ago he wss en-
ployed as a brakeman on the Mil
waukee road. lie declined to make
any statement to the officers concern
ing the situation and when Police
man Briggs arrested him he begged
to be given his liberty. Had he kept
cut of the sight of the officers of the
law for a period of two years he
would have been immune from arrest
for desertion.
Wednesday Chief of Police Keith
decided to take Mr.. Gregory to the
commanding officer of Fort Douglas,
although he had received no answer
to his telegram Of Tuesday evening
They departed on the IL O'Clock pas
senger. While in the car The Repub-
lican editor had a short conve rsatlon
with Mr.. Gregory concerning the sit
uation. He stated emphatically that
he had not deserted from the regular
army, and that the whole thing is a
mistake. He said that in 1900 he di d
enlist in the regular army and went
to the Philippine Islands, where he
remained until hesWas 'dischalgedin
November. 1902. Since that time he
declared he had not enlisted again,
and therefore could not be a deserter.
He said some other person was using
bis name or that of James Rogan,
but that so far as he was concerned
he was wholly innocent or any de-
serticn.
Mr.. Gregory said he would be de-
tanned at Omaha until the Washing
ton authorities had .been commune
Gated with and that very likely a
trial would follow. He seemed to
take the whole matter in a p%hilosoph-
lcal way and did not seem to worry
much about the outcome of the case.
