This detection of the army was still
further shown when news came that a

people in uniform could help to achieve
liberty. Even the cossacll patrols, in
keeping idlers moving in the streets
today, seemed careful not to use their
whips and simply drove the crowds be-
fore their advancing horses.
An armed revolt seems now to be
inevitable Nothing can check it. The
foreign residents are preparing to flee.
The American legation has asked per-
mission to charter boat and hoist the
American flag on it as a refuge for
Americans in st. Petersburg. The for
eign embassies have discussed the stu
alton, but as yet have taken no definite
action.
While Sunday passed quietly, with
out bloodshed in the Russian capital,
and while the city is outwardly calm,
the days developments all point to a
tastrophe. Although the streets are
filled with with troops and REINFORCE
ments are now pouring in from Fin
land, the government seems utterly
powerless to cope with the situation
and many calm observers seem seri-
ously to be lieve that the present reg
ime is tottering to it's fall.
Strikers Send Ultimatum.
Differences have developed between
Count White and General Trepoff, and
while the precious moments pass the
emperor, surrounded by the imperial
family, remains shut up at Peterhof
A meeting of the municipal council
was held last evening at which depu-
tation of thirty members of the strik
ers' committee appeared. In an impas
stoned speech the leader of the deputa-
ton presented the following demands
of the workmen and affiliated organi-
cations:
1. A constitution and political lib
erty.
2. That the city furnish food to the
workmen.
8. That the city refuse further sup
plies to the troops and the police.
4. That the troops be removed from
the waterworks or otherwise the strik-
ers would cut the water supply.
5. The immunity of the deputation
from arrest.
The council granted this last de-
mand and promised to reply to the
other demands later. The council
sent requests to both General Trepoff
and Minister of the Interior Bouligin
not to arrest the members of the depu-
tation, but the police nevertheless
took them into custody. Upon urgent
representations General Trepoff an
hour later released them.

HOMESTEADERS TELL STORY
Osborn and Wife Testify in Federal Court
Agains Krause Brothers.
TELL OF .LAN0 FENCING IN THE WEST
Court Declares Man with One Cow
Has Same Right as Ranger
with Two Thousand
Head of Cattle.

The hearing in the Iand fencing cases was
resumed Friday morning, with Mrs. Bessie
Osborn still on the witness stand in cross
examination. Asked If certain homesteads
were located and fences were not taken
down in 1904 instead of 1908 the witness said
II am sure 1t was not In 1904, because it
was in 19OS."
In her redirect examination she said:
IF certain persons had moved into the
Krause brothers enclosure since 1902 and
made improvements l would have known
it,"
Mr.. Noleman wanted the answer stricken
out as not being responsive, but the court
overruled the motion.
Mrs. Osborn then proceeded to describe
the winding roads and gateway openings
across the enclosed Krause tract. also the
cattle brands OF the Krause brothers and
number of cattle owned by them, approxi-
mating 1,500 or 1000 head that ranged at in
tervals upon the winter and summer ranges
within the enclosure. These cattle were not
herded. but were permitted to roam at will
over the ranges enclosed.
Judge Munger said:
"A man with one COW has the same right
20 the public range as the man with 1900
steers. The man with 1900 steers has no
more right to enclose the public lands than
man with one COW. A man may, however,
enclose his own land. but not the public
land"
Saw Cattle on the Range.
Mrs. Osborn further testified as TO hav-
ing frequently seen the -Krause brothers
driving their cattle about the range. Other
cattle also was on the range. some be.
longing to the Jesse brothers and others

the range herds. She had talked with Johr

he told the witness: This government
land is mine; this fence is mine and these
cattle are mine" She also told of the i'm
pounding of the MILESTONE cattle at one
time THE fences in question are of COM
mon barbed wire and some of them are of
two and others of three strands OF wire"
The matter of the contest made by her
husband against the reservoir filing of
John Krause adjacent to her husband s
land was gone into at some length in the
cross-examination and it was shown that
the reservoir filing was a part of the orig
inal entry of her husband, but had been
cancelled because of certain presumed
water reserve rights. The contest had been
undertaken to restore this forty-acre piece
to Osborn's original entry, made in 1902,
for a full 100 acres, his present holding be-
ing but eighty acres because of the segre-
cation for alleged reservoir purposes of the
other eighty acres of his original filing at
the instance of the Krauses. No reservoir
had been built on the tract and hence Os-
born held he had the right to contest to
complete his original filing. The contest is
still pending.
Theodore Osborn on stand.
Theodore Osborn was the next witness
He testified that when he entered upon the
settlement of his homestead, which was in
side the Krause enclosure, May 3, John
Krause came to him on the morning of
May 4, 1903, and said to witness:

land about here and use it for range pur-
poses We own seventy-two sections oi

Miss Clara Winslow, who resides at 1928
North Seventeenth street, was drowned in
Lake Manawa Friday evening about 8
o'clock by the upsetting of a rowboat, In
which she, in company with Garret Prange
of 113S North Nineteenth street were rid

boat.
The couple were riding in a boat which
they had hired at the lake early in the
evening, and were enjoying the cool breeze
over the lake. The boat in which Miss
Winslow and her companion We're riding
was about in the middle of the lake when
the electric launch came towards them, dis
playing the usual signal lights. Young
Prange, who was manipulating the oars.
evidently became confused by the approach
of the boat and in his effort to get his
skiff out of the way of the electric launch,
pulled the wrong oar steering his boat d.
rectly in front of the approaching launch.
The latter struck the skiff almost squarely
in the center; and when Prange saw that
an accident was imminent he made an at
tempt to get his companion out of the
boat, but she fell into the water, going
out of sight, and was never seen again.
Workmen at once began dragging the
bottom of the lake, but at late hour nc
trace of the body had been found.

was located that 1 was to file on, but
understand it was to be near Miss Hard
ing's land and that she would be a near

The usual motion by Mr.. Noleman to
have this testimony ruled out was over
ruled by the court.
Land Private Ranges.
Another witness of the afternoon was
John W. Frazier who testified as to the
Krause fence lines and that the Krause
lands were held as private ranges. He also
knew that public lands were inside the
Krause enclosure. He testified also to the
fact that the entry of Miss Clara Harding
was inside the enclosure east of his land.
Albert d. Currie testified to living in the
vicinity of the Krause enclosure for fifteen
years He had a half mile of fence on part
of his range that he took down at the
order of Special Agent DeFrees in Novem-
ber, 1903. He knew of the Krause enclos-
| ure and that there was considerable public
| land inside of it. Leonard D. Burrows tes-
tilted as to the Krause fences and as to
public lands being enclosed therein.
Obstruction to Fences.
William A. Bissell, a United States mail
carrier between Long Lake and Alliance.
| told Of the distractions by these Krause
fences to the public highways, and that he
had to pass through the gates of the
| Krause fences. He had a homestead ada
| cent to the Krause enclosure and when he
filed there four years ago the Krauses told
him that he had no business to file on gov
ernment land there, as it was their govern
ment land.
| II asked him when did he, John Krause
| go into business with Uncle Sam"
| The witness told of his early troubles
with the Krauses and OF their driving cattle
onto his hay lands Matters had finally
been smoothed over between them and he
had no further trouble. They tore down
his fences a few years ago two or three
times, but they had finally declared peace.
The witness was on the stand at the hour
of closing at o'clock and his cross-ex-
animation will take place this morning.
