Judge Mirick granted the petition OF
Attorney James P. Veerkamp, for the
defendant, for an order placing the
child in Loretta academy at the faith
er's expense pending the second hear
ing Of the csse in the district court on
the plaintiffs appeal. The Lusk case
was the most stubhornly contested di-
vorce case ever tried in the Pueblo
courts. Mrs. Lusk was plaintiff In
the suit, and she charged her husband
with cruel and inhuman treatment IN
her complaint. The husband filed
counter complaint charging his wife
with cruelty and infidelity and nam
ing George Burnham as correspond
ept. The wife then filed an answer
to the counter complaint in which she
charged her husband with infdelity,
naming her widowed sister as cores
pondent. Attorney Veerkamp of
Monte Vista, Lusk's home, prepared
strong case to prove the defen dants
innocence of the charges made against
him. He went further and brought
in witnesses and dispositions from
Monte Vista and the vicinity to prove
that Mrs. Lusk, the plaintiff, and not
her husband was the erring one. The

The Congress that adjourned
four weeks ago and the special
senate session that adjourned two
weeks ago, have receded far enough
from immediate view to permit
perspective study. There is not
much TO be said in praise or envy.
This congress was not much more
idle or less responsive to urgent
duty than other congresses since
the civil war period. The Presi-
dent had marked out splendid
program of work to be done, but
congress was remarkably dilatory
and nonchalant, He urged that
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission he empowered with the
regulation of railroad freight rates:
that the great corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce be
placed under national control;
that a new canal commission be
appointed; that the naturalization
laws be revised: that the tariff du-
ties of the Philippine islands be
reduced, and that arbitration treat
les be approved, Each of these
measures Mr.. Roosevelt urged
were of the greatest Importance.
Not one of them became law.
Does anyone doubt that the peo-
Pile of this country are with the
President? Are we to assume
that there was no meaning in that
remarkable majority, three times
greater than that given for Grant.

THE old Las Animas land grant

years of litigation is revived, The
case has attracted more attention
in Colorado than any other one
suit of any sorti has made more
men bankrupt; has deprived more
settlers of their homes and has
created more uncertainty regard
ing the ownership of land in
southeastern Colorado than any
other case ever brought on Colo.
RADIO soil.
Papers were filed by District
Attorney Cranston in the United
States court at Denver Saturday
afternoon asking that the Wes-
tern National bank Of Pueblo be
compelled to remaye &fence sur
rounding $1,000 acres of land,
popularlY known as the Gill-pen
tract, on the line between Bent
and Pueblo counties.
Apparently a small matter in
itself, the issues behind the seem
ingly simple plea are astounding.
On its settlement depends the
ownership of more than 100000
acres of land The sites of towns
and cities are in question. Rail-
road rights of way depend upon it.
