NATIONAL PU BLiC DOMAIN
LEAGUE FOR PROTECTION OF
PUBLIC LANDS.
WILL MEET in DENVER
MOVEMENT TO THWART BUREAU
ENFORCEMENT AND SAVE
LAND FOR SETTLERS.

Denver.-The new National Public
Domain League recently organized in
Denver will meet in Denver on July
1st at the Albany hotel for the pur-
pose of perfecting its organization and
commencing work in accomplishing
the objects of the league. The first
efforts of the league will be to Sc
cure the protection of settlers and
others who have been taking up land
under the land laws and to head off
attempts of public officials to en-
croach upon the rights of citizens. The
new organization will seek remedial
legislation from Congress looking to
less interference with the settlement
and development of the public lands
of the West and will uphold the SOW
ereignty of the states as against at
tempted encroachments by federal bu-
reaus through illegal rules and regu-
lations.
There is unusual interest in the
new organization and at the meeting
in Denver July 1st number of promi-
nent western men are expected to be
present and assist in adopting the
new constitution and the election of
permanent officers of the league. One
of the rules of the league will be
that outside of senators and represent
atives in Congress no government EN-
ployes will be eligible to membership
in the league.
Mr.. ]. A. Eddy of Denver is the tenn
porary president of the league and
George S. Walker of Cheyenne the
temporary secretary. Those interest
ed in the development of the public
domain in the West are Joining the
new organization in numbers and it is
promised that some of the most prom
inent men in the West will be in
cluded in the membership. 1t is prob
able that the headquarters Of the
league will be in Denver and it is pre-
dicted that 1t will become a power in
the final solution of the many prob
lens affecting the public domain.

SAYS CLEVELAND
WAS THE AUTHOR
BRoUGHToN BRANDENBURG TES-
TITLES IN HIS OWN BEHALF
AT TRIAL.
The PRICE WAS $4,000
CLAIMS THAT CLEVELAND SIGNED
ARTICLE AFTER READING
AND CORRECTING 1T.

New York.-Broughton Branden-
burg, witness in his own defense,
Thursday related the history of the
preparation of the Grover Cleveland
article, the sale of which to the New
York Times led to the placing of Bran
denburg on trial on a charge of grand
larceny.
Mr.. Brandenburg said he inter
viewed Mr.. Cleveland for the New
York Herald some time between Feb
ruary 10Th and March 4th, 1908. Dur
ing a subsequent talk with Mr.. Cleve-
land, Brandenburg said he suggested
to the ex-president that he prepare
series of three political articles and
allow Brandenburg to sell them; to be
published just before election. The
witness said he offered Mr.. Cleveland
$4,000 for the series.
March 5th, Brandenburg called at
Mr. Cleveland's office and received
from him a scattered mass of material,
fifteen or eighteen groups of papers of
four or five sheets each. The contents
of these sheets was made into an arti-
Gle, signed Grover Cleveland. Bran
denburg said he transcribed them
himself and that either March 9Th or
7th he took the typewriter sheets to
Mr.. Cleveland who made corrections
in them. The sheets were again trans
scribed.
The first drafts of the article were
shown to Mr. Baker of Everybody's
Magazine. Mr.. Brandenburg said his
next, and last, interview with Mr..
Cleveland was between the 18th and
10th of March. On this occasion the
witness said Mr. Cleveland complained
of feeling i'll, and did not care to dis
cuss the matter. Brandenburg placed
a carbon copy of the article before the
ex-president and laid the corrected
drafts and yellow sheets on the table.
Il read the whole article over to
him." Brandenburg testified. He
then took the article from me and
looked it over casually, with a pen in
his hand which he was continually
dipping in the ink. He made no correc-
tions, and when he was through he
copy and did not blot the signature,
but allowed it to dry"
Brandenburg was shown the alleged
Cleveland signature in evidence, and
declared it was not the signature Mr..
Cleveland affixed to the article. He
said he had never seen the signature
in evidence alleged to have been
clipped from the article Brandenbuig
sold, until 1t was produced at the trial.
Handed the Cleveland article in ev-
idence, the one alleged to have been
sold to the Times. Brandenburg was
asked If that was the original Cleve-
land article, prepared by him person
ally and signed by Mr.. Cleveland.
Il can say positively that it is not"
testified Brandenburg.
Brandenburg said number of peo-
pie had seen the original Cleveland ar
ticle before August 10th, the day on
which Miss Bacon had testified she
transcribed the one in evidence. 1t
was in possession of the Broadway
Magazine some time in July, he said,
and G. E. Fleming, lawyer, had seen
it in June and again in July.

Rush for Colorado Lands.

Denver.-Records are being broken
for filings on government land in
Colorado, according to reports received
at the federal land office in this city.
Nearly 5000 settlers have come to
Colorado in the last six weeks to live
on government land. Over 1000 set
tiers have filed on 800 acres under
the Mondell act and as many more are
expected before the middle of July.
The average runs from 500 to 1000 in
the Denver, Hugo, Lamar and Pueblo
districts in the six weeks that the
land has been open. To date 1,6OO. 900
acres have been taken up. The rush
is unprecedented and local officials
believe that the Sterling record of l.
900 filings has never been exceeded
in any one district in like time.

Should they make one false step, or
the loosening of the ground under
their feet, or the turning of stone
and nothing could save them. They
plunged into the bend of the road be-
low, but went straight on over the
bank again and down another steep in
cline, out onto the level ground at
the foot of the mountain, and made
straight tor their accustomed watering
place. Felix had calculated on this
very thing. They would head for
the spring and stop to be watered as
was their custom, and he had calcu-
lated we'll.
None couldhave planned, and none
dared to have executed so we'll as he
had done in this daredevil race with
death down the mountain. Every
foot had been measured, every turn
closely calculated and every risk weigh
ed that morning as he had gone up.
He had intended to race with death
just one inch off, but had he taken
that inch. He had heard of fright
killing people, but had never known
of an instance.
AS the horses, puff and steaming,
came to quick stop at the spring,
the crowd cheered and pressed close
around the rig, but were startled at
the death like appearance of the pas
senger at Felix's side
Take him, fellows, quick. Garry
him over to the spring. He was
quickly lifted down and stretched out
on the cool ground. HIS shirt was
torn open, artificial respiration started,
his head bathed in the cool water of
the spring, and his legs and arms
rubbed to force the blood back to his
heart.
After an hour of hard work, con-
sciousneSs was regained and he was
taken across the river to the hotel
but cheers had huShed at the presence
of DEATH
Felix kept his word. He had taken
his victim to the very door of death,
and still held undisputed title as King
of the Stage" But the excitement
of the almost tragic ending had taker
the glory out of his exploit.

The latest from the pen of Buelah
Poynter to be seen here for one night.
One of the grea: contemporaries of
Daniel OConnell, the great Irish
liberator, said that his great power
as an orator was his ability to SO
sway an audience that while at one
moment he had them in tears, while
picturing the story of his country's
wrongs, the next moment he would
by some mirth-provoking reference
to an Objectionable antagonist have
them in roars Of laughter. If this
estimate of an orators power be a
correct one, it would also seem
just method Of showing the worth of
a playwright who is supposed to
"hold the mirror up to life in the
presentation Of mimic nature. That
