convicted of trying to defraui the

er's old home, which is in defense
Of the old man. Oomstock says
Nurenberger is a man who would
not stoop to so low a trick a. to
defraud Uncle Sam, yet, perhaps not
being conscious of what he was
really doing, he was assisting others
to defraud the government out of
100 acres OF land, and he was get
ting the benefit OF the transaction.
According to Comstock's own esti-
mony, and he was the man who
claims to have written most OF the
contracts, Nurenberger paid the old
soldier friends OF Ohio to come to
Ward county, file on homesteads
and he would pay the expenses and
give them 5000 for their trouble.
They knew when they took up the
Land that they were not doing so
for a home, but for speculation, and
We're equally as guilty as Nuremberg
er. We know Mr.. Nurenberger per-
sonally, and he seems to be a fine
old German gentleman. Perhaps he
did not realize that he was doing
SO serious thing, and we are more
than glad that his sentence has been
dropped.
