WILL RENEW FIGHT
ON LAND FRAUDS
Government Not Through
in Nebraska Yet.
MASS OF EVIDENCE IN HAND
Secret Service Men Have Been Gath
ering 1t for Special Grand
Jury at Omaha.

OMAHA. Neb, Dec 29.-Within thirty
days after a successor to United States
District Attorney Baxter has been ap-
pointed, it is highly probable that a
special Federal grand jury will be sum
moned to investigate the evidence IN
hand OF land fraud cases, which mas
been collected by twenty -hVe specldI
ten secret service men,
agents of the general land ONCE anu
Ihe secret service men nave been en-
plOyed in ferreting opt the most na-
grant offenses in connection with the
frauds, such as suhornauon OF perjury,
tampering with Government witnesses
and conspiracy.
A persistent rumor points to the fact
that Joseph w. Crow. formerly post
master in Omaha, has been reported TO
the Department of Justice for his con-
duct as foreman OF the last Federal
grand jury.
Jury Foreman.
Frank Lambert. now under indict-
ment on conspiracy charge, is said TO
have made an affidavit to the effect
that he was approached with the prop
osition that If he would remain silent
when in the grand jury room. the Gov
ernment would have nothing against
him. Lambert says a strong effort was
made to keep him from duplicating 9TH
ers by the testimony he submitted
1t is apparent that the Government
has not yet finished with Bartlett and
Richards, the two cattle barons who
pleaded guilty of inclosing H2.000 acres
of Government land and were fined $500
each and sentenced to the custody of
the marshal for six hours. The request
for the resignation of District Attorney
Baxter and Marshal Matthews grew
out of this case
That an effort is to be made to reach
them in a different way was demon
strated last week when Amid B. Todd
was rearrested in Denver and held for
the grand jury, charged with conspiracy
in securing fraud entries for Richards
and COmstOck.
1t Is understood that the arrest of
dozen persons is soon TO follow in con-
nection with the Richards and Com
stock filings.

MINING DECISIONS

According to a decision handed down
in the case of Willitt vs.. Baker a few
days ago, where the original locators of
a mining claim were engaged in doing
the annual assessment work on the 3lst
day of December, and left their tools on
the claim that night, intending to re-
sumo work the next day, which they
tinuons, and one who relocated the
claim during the night was a trespasser
and acquired no rights.
Another decision recently rendered in
Colorado is to the effect that the dis
covery of a vein or lode before any other
steps are taken to perfect the location is
not required. These are certainly inn
portant decisions and will interest quite
a nun Der of people in this section.
