Gov. Sheldon Favors Barring U. S.
Judges from Enjoining States.
Because of the restraining order grant
ed by Judge Munger of the federal court
in Lincoln, Neb., to prevent the railway
commission from promulgating a new
grain-rate schedule, Gov. George L. Shell
don has declared himself in favor of a
constitutional amendment taking from
federal courts the right to enjoin State
officials from enforcement of State laws.
Il believe the federal courts have abused
the privilege of the injunction enough to
justify such action" he said. Too many
State laws have been tied up by the in
reference of the federal courts. do not
believe the makers of the constitution ever
contemplated such use of the injunction
in the hands of the federal courts"

Capt. Johnson Sends Official Report of Trouble to Army Headquar-
 ters at Omaha.

Omaha. Nov. 2.-Army headquar' ters in Omaha has received an offi. cial report from Capt Johnson. who was sent to the Cheyenne river Indian reservation to hold a pow-wow with the Ute Indians.
 Capt. Johnson found the attitude of the Utes very peaceful. A grand council of war was held and the In. dians aired their grievances. They had been given to understand that their rations would be cut in half which would entail great distress on the women and children. Agent Downs had told them they must send their children to schooi 80 miles away The Utes voted on the question and refused but agreed to send the chil. dren to day school at the agency.
 Capt. Johnson explained to them about the schools and secured their consent to having the children sent to the distant school.
 Agent Downs is not satisfied with the promises and 1t Is said wants harsher treatment given to Utes. but Capt. Johnson says severe measures will not be good policy.

VETERAN INDIAN FIGHTER IN COMMAND
0o'. frank West of Second Cavalry to Head expedition--Idea is Probably 10 Prevent the Sioux From Aidno the utes In Their Revolt Against the Government.


 Omaha. Neb. Nov. 5.-orders were received at army headquarters in omaha late Saturday to dispatch the remaining two squadrons of the Sec ond United States cavalry, composed Of eight companies, to Thunder Butte ,. D.. at the earliest possible moment The command left Fort Des Moines Sunday night. Company M, 18th cav airy, under comsnd of Capt. Harry F. Dalton, will leave Fort Crook Tuesday or Wednesday for Gettysburg, s. D.. to take charge of the base of supplies which has been established there for the operations against the Ute Indians should they make and troublesome overtures.
 Col Frank West of the Second cav airy will be placed in command of the expedition on arrival at Thunder Butte. Major Sibley and the First squadron of four companies of the Sec ond cavalry are now at Thunder Butte. Col West is an old time Indian fighter and is said to be thoroughly competent to handle the situation in whatever phase 1t may develop. It is possible that the base of the operations may be transferred form Gettysburg, which is the end Of the railway lines, to Chey- enns River agency, IS miles west of Gettysburg on the west side of the Missouri river.
 Company K. 10th cavalry, left Fort Crook Sunday afternoon to Garrison Fort Des Moines during the absence of the second cavalry in the field
 It is not known at army headquar. tsrs here why additional troops have been sent to the Cheyenne River res srvation, but 1t is thought the idea is to prevent any portion of the Sioux tribe from making common cause with the Utes in their revolt against authority The Utes, it is pointed out, are in sense the guests of the Sioux and the Indian idea of hospitality might induce some of the younger Sioux braves to offer aid in resisting any forcible measures adopted for the subJugation of disaf- fected Utes.

Norwood, president of the Commercial club, asking him to give the grounds upon which the city laid claim to the right to deed the property. Mir. Norwood drew up brief covering the case, following which Read & Nc Donough agreed that the question of title was all right, and so notified the department at Kan sas City.
 After another long delay, dur ing which time the chairman of the hospital board, MT. Coug hlin. felt constrained to stop the work of the architects, word came that the matter had been re-referred, as the head of the legal depart ment was still in doubt. A sec ond favorable decision from Read X McDonough followed, and the word that has now been received is the logical result.
 1t can but be said that at no time recently has there been any doubt as to the final building of the hospital in Mena among those in the best position to know what was going on, but the delay has been so great that many could not be blamed for feeling some doubt as to the outcome.
