Returns From
Big Pasture

T. f. Woodward came up
this morning from the big pasture
where he has been for several
days visiting in one OF the towns.
He says that the farms are filing
up fast and many improvements
being made on them and instead
of the proving up shacks which
we saw 50 many of in tbs coun-
try are not in evidence there,
The people have come in to make
their home and many subsiant.
ial houses are being built many
of them containing from four to
eight rooms and many of them
two storys high. This will do a
great deal towards building up
the country as people coming in
instead Of seeing some little shack
and most any kind of fences will
see good houses and substantial
fences. Some of the people in
the towns are getting afraid that
the railroads will not build to
their towns but in all likelihood
this is all talk, ,as the government
has the whip hand and will not
allow any rail road townsites in
the county.

EXTRA RIFLES
Corporal on Stand Declares that
Rifles and Ammunition
Were Easily Gotten

Washington, March 25.-That
soldiers invariably we're able to
secure extra cartridges and some
times had extra rifles as well, was
asserted today by VIM. Ryan,
corporal in company K, Twenty
sixth infantry, in the Browns
vile investigation before the
senate committee on military af-
fairs. Ryan was at Brownsville
prior to the coming Of the negro
soldies of the twenty fifth infan'
try. He was serving as an arti-
ficer under the quartermaster
sergeant, at whose orders he said
he sold 900 rounds of ammuni-
ton to a junk dealer in Browns
vile. Under the same mans
orders, he said, he had defaced
the numbers on six Krag.Jor-
genson rifles. These guns were
held out at the time the order
was issued for the surrender of
all Krag rifles. He claimed that
he did not know what became of
these guns, and declared that he
did not consider that he had done
wrong in aiding in the sale of the
government property.
When the session adjourned
for the day Thomas Taylor,
former member of company B,
Twenty fifth infantry, was on
the stand, The expert examina-
ton of shells picked up in
Brownsville is declared to show
that his gun was used in firing
eleven of these shells. Taylor
denied that his gun had been
fired since his company left for
Niobrara, a month prior to the
shooting.
The cross examination of Ryan
was taken up at the afternoon
sessions. In detailing the sale of
cartridges to Fields, the Browns
vile junk dealer, the witness
said he had placed the original
government package inside q
kerosene box. He said he had
no idea why this precaution was
taken.
The extra guns which were in
the possession of company K,
Twenty fifth infantry, the wit
ness said, were obtained in sumo
manner while the company was
in the Philippines. Originally
there had been tw enty in the lot.
He thought that Captain Kilburn
the company commander, had
given some OF them away; that
one had been sold by Cheesman
and that Captain Kilburn still
had one. He said he could not
say what had become of the
others.

quoted as saying that the Ideas Of the

Mr.. Johnson was not at home to receive

refused to continue further. so the poss'
disintegrated, after voting the morning
