Removed From Office.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Irving Bax-
ter, United States district attorney
for Nebraska, has been removed sum
marily from Office by President Roose,
welt. The announcement of Mr.. Bax-
ter's removal was made at the White
House.
District Attorney Baxter, who was
appointed to Office last spring, prose-
cuted on behalf of the government the
case against Richards & Comstock.
cattle raisers, who were charged with,
fencing illegally the public lands in
Nebraska, and whose prosecution was
brought about by Investigations into
land frauds made under the direction
of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock.
The men were convicted and sentenc-
ed to six hours in the custody Of the
United States marshal. In carrying
out the sentence the United States
marshal deputized the attorneys of
IblCudIuo " OOiHotuCh W tdhC Vial So
of the defendants for the six hours Of
their sentence. For exercising this
leniency the marshal was removed
from Office. Both the president and
the department were dissatisfied with
the manner in which the case had
been prosecuted by District Attorney
Baxter, and, as a result, Mr.. Baxter's
resignation was requested. After sew
eral days had elapsed Mr.. Baxter re-
sponded to the request for his resig
nation with declination to resign.
Thereupon President Roosevelt re-
moved him from Office.
Thus far no successor to Mr.. Bax-

that the new appointee will not be
announced until reconvention Of the
