CONTROL OF THE CONDUIT ROAD
Matter in the Hands of District At
torneV Rose

In answer to inquiries, officials of the De-
partment Of Justice stated TODAY that the
department is not doing anything in con-
nection with the Conduit road Jurisdiction.
Attorney General Bonaparte some time ago
had a conference with United States At
torney Rose of Baltimore and States At
torney Peter Of Montgomery county as to
bringing suit to test the question of iuris-
dction, but no conclusion was reached. The
matter was then placed in the hands of
Mr. Rose, who now has charge of 1t. The
department has no report from him as to
what he has done.
1t is supposed to be the intention of Mr.
Rose to intervene in some of the suits now
pending against Mayor Garrett and Mar
shall Collins, SO that the interests of the
United States in the situation may be pre-
scented to the courts, but so far there has
been no such intervention

sheriff of this county, was acquitted of the
charge of wilful neglect of duty. During
the month of December last year and Il
few days before his term of office as sheriff
expired a prisoner in his charge escaped
from the Jail. The prisoner was H. f. VIII
liams, who was being held for felonious as
saut. 1t was alleged that Webb purposely
allowed Williams to escape and the
county attorney sought to prove that
Webb was in the company of the fugitive
on one occasion afterward and therefore
could have brought him back to Jail II no
had so desired. F. d. Hammond OF CASPER
and Allen G. Fisher of Chadron, Neb, were
counsel for Webb and the state was rep

defense demanded change of judge and
Judge Matson of Cheyenne was called to

lists. said Mr.. Bacon. have used this gov
eminent as a catspaw. He expressed the
belief that a large part Of the debts were
fraudulent and that In providing for the
payment, without opportunity to adjust
the claims, the United states is aiding
graft and participating in an unjust bur
den on the republic.
Mr.. Bacon suggested the senate commit
tee on foreign relations had amended the
former treaty by inserting a new article
which declared that the United states
should not be responsible for any act CT
omission or commission in adjusting the
Dominican debt. and that the treaty should
not be regarded as a precedent. The pres
ent treaty. Mr.. Bacon said. carefully elm
mates this provision, which he thought
was done with the idea that the United
States might take over the island. Mr..
Bacon said the situation today was not
unlike that of thirtyefive years ago when
President Grant made an EFFORT to have
Santo Domingo annexed and was defeated
in this attempt by Charles Sumner.
Senator Clarke of Arkansas and Senator
Patterson favored the treaty and were the
only democrats voting\fo 1t.
At tqhights session the senate passed
800 private pension bills, clearing the cal

NORFOLK, Neb., Feb. 2s.-Cspecial)-
Hhirty-ffve miles beyond Bonesteel,~ to
which town went thousands upon thou
sands Of people during the first Rosebud
reservation rush, there is now lining UP
another battle between locations such as
Bonesteel and Fairfax waged in the former
day. Dallas and Gregory. two of the new
towns on the Rosebud. are each claiming
already TO be the only gateway" to the
Trip county lands, which will be thrown
open TO settlement in 1905 and which will
bring forth 10000 acres OF public domain
for gift.
Dallas is located half mile from the
edge of the Trip county portion OF the
reservation. Gregory is five miles this side.
Dallas occupies the same relative position
that Bonesteel owned and apparently has
the best chance to be the real gateway.
although Gregory has the advantage to
date Of being the Northwestern railway
terminus. Dallas claims the railroad will
be extended. Gregory claims that an
agreement with the road, made in Chicago.
has settled the matter in favor of Gregory,
aimee that town paid for much Of the right
of-way
Already influx of people is noticed,
the bill having been passed in the senate.
IT will be probably a rush twice the size
of the Bonesteel rush, because of twice as
much land. The land is said by real estate
men to be even better than the Gregory
county land.

FARMERS WANT SUGAR FACTORY
Lincoln County Beet Growers VIII
Try 60 Get New Plant.

Lincoln County Beet Growers VIII
Try 60 Get New Plant.
SUTHERLAND, Neb., Feb 25.--(Special)
The Lincoln County Beet Growers asso-
citation, which was recently formed in this
neighborhood, held a public meeting at the
Conway opera house Saturday afternoon.
As well as furthering the interests of the
grower to material extent, It is the in
tention Of the association to do all posi-
BILE to secure the erection OF a beet sugar
factory in this county. The association
will ask from factory people IS per ton
for all beets grown and an additional sum
Of 25 cents a ton for all beets sliced and
delivered at the factory after November
10. that the factory shall accept all beets
ordered each week regardless of the supply
of cars, The other terms of the associa-
tions contracts are about the same as or
dinarily used by the factory and the
grower.
At the Saturday meeting numerous farm
esr signed contracts to grow certain acre
ages for a period of three years. II being
the intention Of the association to secure
enough contracts of this nature among its
members to insure an ample supply of
beets to run a factory for a time, provid-
ing one can be secured. BY taking this
method the association feels that Il will
be in a position to talk business to those
desiring location for factory and at the
same time secure material assurance that
a factory will be established providing the
growers do their part.
1t is the expectation that all the promi-
nent beet growers of this section will be-
come identified with the new association
within short time and that sufficient
three-year contracts can be secured to in
duce factory people to consider the build
ing of factory in this. the best beet
raising section of the state. The Off
GERS of the association are; ]. r. White,
