LINCOLN, June Especial THE
semiannual statement issued today
by State Treasurer Morteusen indicates that
S293, 05.S2 has been received into the state
general fund during the past six months
ending May 81, while in the same period
1913, 44S.45 has been paid out. At the be-
ginning of the half year the general fund
had S15.52 to it's credit while at the close
the amount was S2l,372.39. The receipts in
the general fund would have been much
larger had the Union Pacific and Burling-
ton railways paid their taxes promptly. OF
the expenditures 10000 was used in pay
ment Of legislative expenses. The show
ing under normal circumstances, it is said,
would have left a substantial surplus of
income over expenditure
During the SIX months the permanent
school fund received S.O22. $3.50, while
1914 1903 was paid out, leaving at the
close of the period sos, 1876 on hand as
compared with the entire absence of cash

ments amounted to S2,611, $500.

MAKERS OF OLD FIRsT's FLAG
by John r. Behm, Who Was
in Regiment.

There has long been a controversy as to
who made the old First Nebraska regiment
flag which hangs in the capitol at Lincoln.
The question is settled by John r. Benin,
who served with the First Nebraska. Mr..
Benin says:
THE flag was made by Miss Elizabeth
Davis, who afterward became Mrs Her
man Kountze, and Miss Gussie Esterbrook.
who is now the wife of Robert Clowry,
president of the Western Union Telegraph
company. When in 1861 the First Nebraska
was mustered in the men were lined up in
the street in front of where the Union Pa
cihc headquarters building now stands
They were a ragged looking lot, as none Of
them had uniforms except the men of Com
pany A, from Plattsmouth. A flag OF bunt-
ing was presented to the regiment as the
handiwork of Miss Davis and Miss Ester
brook"
Mr.. Benin remembers the incident dis
tinctly. The flag was carried by the regi-
ment all through the war and the tattered
remnants Of it are now in the state house
at Lincoln.

On Cross-Exnmination.

Mrs. Osborn was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination by Mr. Noleman. but her
evidence was not shaken in the slightest.
Asked if she personally knew one of the
men whom she saw repairing the line
fence at one time, she replied:
Il did not know him personally, nor did
l speak TO him or him to me; for Mr..
Krause does not allow his hired men to
speak to the settlers
Asked If she did not refuse TO speak 70
some OF them at times, she replied:
"Oh, 1t depends upon my mood II

speak to me, then / would speak to them.
Asked If she was not interesting herself

piled; mo, l am not investigating land

Mrs OsbOrne's Shooting.

''On another occasion, in July 1904, John
Krause and some of his employees came to
the Osborne homestead, knowing that only
Mrs. Osborne and a child were there, and
ordered them to pack up and leave. Mrs
Osborne warned them If they undertook any
violence she would shoot as she had arms
in their little house. The gang still stayed
around threatening her so she poked a
shotgun out through the crack of the house
and blazed away atAthe gang The party
fed, but traces of blood were found, indi-
eating that one of the party had been hit
THE government expects to prove fur
ther by competent witnesses that it was a
practice of the defendants to permit their
cattle TO overrun the crops and fields of
the homesteaders, and that they would
also tmpound their cattle and put the set
tiers TO heavy expense in htigating to get
their stock released. 1t further expects to
show that the cattlemen, while promising
to remove their unlawful fences, have per-
sistently refused to DO so In defiance of the
orders of the government agents"

Nestern Maccabees want DAMAGES.


The order of Western Maccabees who
were permanently enjoined few days ago
at the instance of the Knights of the
Maccabees of the World. have filed suit
in the district court against the older
order for 5000 damages because, it al
leges, the older order harassed it with an
injunction suit and caused it to lose pres
tige with the public. The petition filed to-
day contains allegations that the injunc-
ton suit was not authorized by the su-
preme camp; that it was intended to inter
fere with the success of the new order;
that the Maccabees of the World do not
have an exclusive right to the designation
"Maccabees," and that they do not have
the representative form of government re-
quired by the statute.
A motion is also filed asking for the
modification of the permanent injunction
order so that in the event the Western
Maccabees win in the supreme court the
injunction may be dismissed without preJu-
dice
A few days ago Judge Cornish issued a
permanent injunction preventing the is
suance of a license to the new order and
restraining it from using the name, in
which the older order claimed a property
interest.

Attorney Noleman representing the
Krause brothers, in his opening statement
again asked that the defendants be given
a full bill of particulars as to each indict-
ment. which was again denied him by the
court. He held that if his clients were
guilty of the charges made against them
by the government attorney that the
government had been very derelict in its
duty in not prosecuting these men for
high crimes and misdemeanors. These
charges he Indignantly denied as ground
less and devoid of truth and said they could
not be sustained. He then proceeded to
an analysis of the several counts of the
indictment showing that the gravamen of
the charges were that the settlers had
been denied a free passage across the lands
of the cattlemen. He characterized Colonel
John H. Mosby, the special agent of the
general land office, as ''Mosby. the fence
destroyer" He maintained that his clients
did tear down the fences ordered torn
down by Mosby and that they had taken
up all the fences that they knew was on
public land. He then proceeded TO show
that the country in question was exclu-
sivaly cattle country and was not suit
able for agricultural purposes. He chal-
! lenged the statement of the government
that these men were guilty of any crime.
Much of the land alleged to be unlawfully
fenced had been taken up by the cattlemen
under the homestead and Kinkaid acts
/ His client, he said, would be shown TO be
| innocent in spite of any testimony the
! government might introduce
! There was but little difference between
| the cattlemen and homesteaders" he con-
| tinued THE cattlemen were all home
steaders, and most of the homesteaders
were cattlemen in that country"
| His clients were not cattle barons, but
were poor. hard working men and were
not guilty of the charges brought against
| them.
| First witness for Uncle sam,
The first witness for the government was
F. d. De Frees of Alliance, special agent
of the land department. His testimony was
in effect that he had found great areas of
public lands fenced by the defendants and
that he had ordered the fences removed
but up to this time the fences remained
His evidence was fortified with maps show.
ing the area of public lands illegally fenced
by the Krause brothers. They had re-
peatedly promised him TO take down the
fences, but had as repeatedly failed TO dc
SO.
In his cross-eXamination Mr.. De Frees
stated that Krause had told him that Ger.
tain fences that had been ordered taker
down did not belong to Krnuse. and tina
Krause had told him that he had taken
