Pleads for Land Fencers.

OMAHA, Jan. Ito the Editor Of The
Bee: There are few people who would
not resist the charge of being Knockers"
This is an unpleasant characterization ard
carries with IL unfavorable implication.
To be n knocke1 in this world Is to be
something that lends nothing to popu-
larity and little to self satisfaction. To
be a knocker is usually to be a dog in the
manger and is at best the lowest type OF
iconoclasm. And yet we have knockers in
omaha, people totally unmindful of the
fact that they have taken TO themselves
this character.
I refer to those continually polSing at
the cattle men of our state, who have
unfortunat ely become entangled in the
land fencing controversies with the gov

the cattle industry have been the pioneers

A RAID ON
 MOONSHINERS
officers Make Sunday Morning Raid in seyier Connty-ca Capture Three Men
 and Wound Another.

Three moonshiners captured and one badly wounded, who sue ceeded in making his escape, was the result of raid made on an illicit still located nine miles west Iof Gillham, in sevier county, early Sunday morning by Major Ir. w. True, internal revenue collector, assisted by City Marshal Bickle of this city, and Sheriff Thomas and two deputies of De- Queen.
 The house in which the men were sleeping was surrounded oy Major True and his posse shortly after daylight, and the men com- manded to surrender. Instead ot complying with the command the men made a break for liberty, leaving the house in different directions. As they came out all four of the men were covered by the guns of the officers and three of them threw up their hands and surrendered while the fourth one. who was the leader of the gang, made run for the brush and was shot twice by Sheriff Thomas with shotgun and badly wounded but succeeded ID making his escape.
 The three men arrested, two of whom were named Williams and the other one Johnson, were taken to Texarkana and placed in iail. The man who made his escape is known in that section by the name of 'sWhiskey Dick, aud is said to be an old hand al the business, having once served q term in the Federal prison for illicit distilling.
 The still. which was found . short distance from where the raid was made, was destroyed by Major True.
 The moonshiner who was wounded was followed some dis tance by the blood from his wounds and while he was after wards lost track of it is thought to be only question of a short time until the officers will locate him again.

BRYAN NO TRIMMER" ]"

"A close political friend" of Will liam Jennings Bryan is reported saying several things of that much talked of gentleman, nearly all com plimentary, but some would make it appear that he was going into the coming presidential campaign as a political trimmer.
 Among them are the following:
 "Mr. Bryan will not join in the hue and cry against corporations. His speeches will be opposed to ex- treme and radical ideas like those of Mir. LaFollette and he will be moderate in his expressions, as com pared with Mir. Roosevelt. Instead of soaring capital he will reassure. Trusts, he will urge, should be curbed, but curbed with no injustice to capitalists or investors.
 "Mr. Hurst will be honored and Mir. Parker ignored. :"
 It occurs to us that it will not be for man of Mir. Bryan's we'll known independence to attempt to sail the political seas as greater conserva- tive than either LaFollette or Mr. Roosevelt and at the same time do honor to as rabid a radical as MT. Hurst.
 Some of MT. Bryan's fool friends are evidently working over time try ing to tell the dear people what he will or will not do. Whatever MT. Bryan may or may not do he is no political trimmer.
