THE FARMERS JOURNAL ON NIGHT
RIDING.

There's no mistaking the posi-
ton of the Farmers Union Sun,
the official organ OF the organi-
cation, on the subject OF the
"night riding" business. The
current issue Of that esteemed
journal contains the following
editorial strongly condemning
such unlawful methods:
"The Farmers Union does
not stand for the lawless acts of
some fapatical or ignorant peo-
pie who are threatening the GIN
neries OF the country. The move
ment started in Mississippi and
has now made its appearance in
Georgia, North Carolina, and
now in Greenville county. The
Union stands for justice, equity
and the Golden Rule. The law
less people who take part in
these raids make it appear that
the Union is back of this lawless-
ness. Every county and local
union in the State should pass
resolutions condemning night
riding, and do all in their power
to apprehend the guilty parties
and bring them to justice. We
can never hope to win our fight
by violence"
Well said, and we have no
doubt that the views thus eX-
pressed reflect the sentiments
of the Union men throughout
the country. Every county and
local union in the State should
pass resolutions condemning
night riding" says the Sun
and that's exactly what we con
fidently expect the Lancaster
Union to do when it meets next
Friday.

Government Files Important
Action Against Mckinley
County Woman for Alleged
Illegal Filing on Land.
ASSERTS SHE WAS TOOL
OF MINING COMPANY
Complaint Holds That Defend
ant Was Used by Rocky Cliff
Mining Company and Gallup
Man to Get the Land,

An important action was filed in
United States district court for the
Second district court yesterday morn
ing when the United States through
its attorney, ID. j. Leahy filed sui
against Mary Malva kislingburg of
Gallup, n. NJ, charging alleged He
gal entry on government coal lands
The complaint alleges that while
Mrs Kislngburg made the fling in
her own name, she made 1t at the In
stance of a mining corporation and
Gallup men and that it was made with
the intention of transfer to the mining
company, 1t is set forth at some
length that through this method the
government was defrauded of certain
valuable coal lands located in Mckin-
ley county in the vicinity of Gallup,
that final process has been had and
that the land has been thus fraudu-
lently secured from the government.
The complaint then asks the court to
declare null and void the final patent
and to restore the land to the public
domain.
The complaint sets forth that Mrs.
Kislingburg made preliminary and
final proofs to which she made oath,
fulfilling all requirements on the law
as to form. and that she then obtained
patent to the land; that Immediately
after securing possession of it she
transferred it by warranty deed to
the Rocky Cliff Mining company and
Stephen Caravan. Ii is then set forth
in detail that the government be-
1ieves Mrs. Kislingburgs claim to the
land to have been merely incidental,
that she did not know the location OF
the land, that no improvements were
made on it by her. or at her direction
as claimed in the final proof and that
she was but q figurehead in the trans
action. The complaint then alleges
that Mrs. Kislingburg's filing was part
of scheme on the part of the Rocky
Cliff Mining company and stephen
Caravan, to obtain possession Of the
land because of valuable coal deposits
thereon and that being prevented
from making filings because of prev
ious entries Mrs Kislngburg was pre-
vailed upon to allow the use of her
name and Ostensibly for her own
benefit, but in fact merely to gain
possession of the land for the mining
company.
The outcome of this case will be
watched with considerable interest,
because of its similarity to recent gov
eminent cases which have appeared in
New Mexico courts and because of ru-
mors which have appeared from time
to time of alleged fraudulent coal land
entries in Mckinley county. 1t Is I'M
derstood that on the result of this
suit viii depend the holding of several
tracts of coal lands in Mckinley
county and western New Mexico

of the government in connection with
land matters since IBIS appointment
