Zinc ointment. which can be pur-

Three times a week rub a little kerol

respondent In his statement that the

and the smaller opposed. l have in
formation that a produce to show
that 1t is the other way.
If the papers and the individuals
that have been throwing mud and
heaping up personal abuse of this
question will come down to an impair
tial discussion of the subject on its
merits | am sure all will agree that
some remedy must be provided for
our public land conditions. Our pres
ent conditions are becoming more un-
Dearable every day. Today the
ranges Of Wyoming are almost devoid
of grass-every section is overstocked.
Men who built up fine bred herds
under the fence system are being
ruined. If a lease is not satisfactory
what can you substitute, men of the
west? If a man is willing to buy or
lease enough land to II his stock why
not the laws OF our land allow him the
same privilege that you allow to your
merchants and professional men when
you allow them to lease or buy their
places of business? Have We not the
same right of individuality in our
business as any other American citi-
zen? j. E. UNDERWOOD.

a dangerous spot, and there were

Threatened to Get Officer.

ant evidence bearing on the allegations
by the state of Kansas that the Trad

from Trinidad, Colo, refused to tell
A. l.. Berger, an attorney, the name Of
the commission man who, the witness
said, told him that the Kansas City
market was not open to country buy
ers, the attorney threatened to send
for an officer and there was a long
wrangle.
Consented to Tell.
Finally the witness said it was Flo
Harris who told him. The examination
brought out that in a speech before the
association of cattle men in Des Moines
the witness had made charges against
the Kansas City stock yards concern
ing the of weighing in and
weighing out cattle and other things.
Information From Inspector.
Mckenzie said he got his information
from DR.. Bennett, at that time inspec-
tor for the bureau of animal industry
at Kansas City. Later, at a confer
ence of members of the live stock ex-
change, he was asked if he had accused
the traders of dishonesty and told them
he had referred TO scalpers in the yard.
Packers %Boycotted.
In reply to a question, he said he
had known of packers being b~oycotted
for doing business with cooperative
concerns. Charles Armour and Swift
had told him of the boycott. The in
v~estigation will be resumed at a later
date.

Butte, Mont, April 24.-Lack of
nerve at a critical moment caused the
failure of a desperate attempt last

Coast Limited at a point two miles
west of Welch's spur and about twelve
miles east of Butte, on the Northern
Pacific.
Three Men Arrested.
Rudolph Wonk, Paul Filenius and
Al Teasdel have been arrested for com.
plicity in the attempt. Wonk and Fill
enius, who are Germans, admit partici.
patton in the tagging of the train,
claiming, however, to have been forced
to act by two armed and masked des-
peradoes, who, when the train came
to a halt, lost their courage and made
a quick getaway.

Filenius and Wonk walked to Welch's

ASK your national banker" says
Bryan's Commoner, what he thinks
of the Partially which the treasury
department has shown to Wall street.
The government has loaned the ma
tional banks over $230,0O0,OOO and
nearly all that sum has been loaned
to national banks in New York City"
If Mr.. Bryan will practice little
thoughtful investigation and verify
his statements before making them he
will not appear SO ridiculous. The
official reports from the treasury de-
partment show that on December 2Sth
there was deposited in the New York
banks little over $S7,000,0O0, and
the total deposited in all of the ma
tional bank repositories in the coun-
try was about $257 100000 1t will
thus be seen that Mr. Bryan is as
reckless as ever in making statements
off hand.
