OF what its probable results will show.
This is the method which federal Of
ficiaIs follow.
There are two lines on which Mr..
Green is probably working, judging
from past disclosures in the court. In
the western part of the state quite
number of cattlemen are accused OF
fencing up government land which
does not belong to them. They use it
for grazing purposes. This has caused
much difficulty right along and was a
factor in the Dewey tragedy. Then
there are also some frauds which have
been exposed in different parts Of the
state but always on a small scale
Whether there are any big matters in
hand is not known. Captain Green is
noted for his great work in the north
west in which he indicted a United
States senator for land frauds. His
clearing up of the troubles throughout
Washington, Oregon and contiguous
states was monumental piece of
work It was long fight but Captain
Green succeeded. The story of his work
reads like q romance. He is the only
land examiner of his kind When a
man was needed for the northwest in
vestigation Secretary Hitchcock made
him a special officer for the purpose.
He works directly under the depart
ment of the interior. There has evil
IDENTIFY been something wrong in Kan
sas land matters for Captain Green was
called here to look into them. That is
what he is at work on now.

SALOON KEEPER AN OUTLAW.
Judge Pollock Refuses to Adjudicate
a Mans Business.

Fort Scott, Kas., Nov. 15.-In the
federal court here Judge Pollock took
official cognizance of the fact that a
saloon keeper in Kansas is an outlaw
and declined with emphasis to permit
an adjudication of his business in the
federal court on that ground. Mitchell
Simoan, a saloon keeper at Weir City,
was forced into bankruptcy by some
Kansas City and ST. Louis brewers
whom he owed. They agreed upon a
distribution of the liquors and other
property which Simoan possessed and
had a deputy marshal placed in
charge as temporary receiver. The
brewers appeared in court here and
asked a dismissal of the bankruptcy
proceedings. To them the court said:
There is a little too much interest
taken in the motion to dismiss for the
want of prosecution. People engaged
in this business in Kansas will hardly
get protection in this court"
When the attorney persisted, the
court said: 81 will dispose of this
case. Prepare an order that the court
denies adjudication of the case on ac-
count of the character of that bust
ness. And let the order show that"
