CATTLEMEN ARE IN TROUBLE
Gang of Ten Accused of Making
Raids on sheepmen's
Property.

NEW CASTLE, Wyo, Jan. 5-(Special.)-
That one gang OF ten determined men,
bent on driving sheep from a section of
country which they desired for use as range
for cattle and horses. were able to prevent
publicity for an astonishing and daring
series Of incendiary outrages extending
through two months, has just come to light
as a result OF the arrest OF nine prominent
ranchmen OF Crook county. and one ranch
employee, who are accused OF being respon-
slble for the destruction of much property
belonging to the Gutherie Sheep company.
a large concern operating In Crook county,
in the northeastern corner of the state.
The men charged with the series Of crimes
are Ike. Andy and Sam Mexican, d. w.
Mosbarger, George Martin, Stanley Baugh,
J. d. Mulholland, Henry Zimmerschied
and NJ. Squires. All but the letter are
ranch owners. Squires has been employed
by Baugh.
The arrest OF the ten men was made by
Sheriff Farrell and Joseph LeFors, the man
who ran down Tom Horn, and resulted
from detective work by the two officers
extending through several weeks. 1t is said
that confessions have been obtained from
Squires, Martin and one OF the others, and
that these confessions establish that the
ten defendants were responsible for the
AOilONlle OuATdAtbs
August 81: Burning OF house, barn and
sheep wagon at the Berry ranch, and a
house at the Carter ranch.
October /: Burning OF sheep wagon IN
Mule creek.
October %: Burning of 100 tons OF hay
at the Schues ranch.
November 4: Burning OF two houses at
the Berry ranch.
November Z: Burning OF twenty tons OF
hay at the Hulett ranch.
All OF the property destroyed was owned
by the Gutherie Sheep company and was
situated In the disputed district, which
lies between Sundance and Moorcraft. On
November Z a mile and a half OF fence, be-
lieved by the gang to belong to the sheep
company, but owned by a ranchman named
Moore, was also destroyed.
The confessions all agree that the ten
men met on the night OF August 1 at the
Mosbarger school house and there, the only
light being that cast from the chinks Of
the stove. they entered into a solemn pact
to drive the Gutherie Sheep ompan out
OF business and to kill any OF their number
who should betray their operations. The
raids OF the night OF August 81 were par
tioipated in by all ten oonsplrators, but
those on later dates were performed by
men especially selected from their number
10 carry out these outrages.

HILL WILL FIGHT FOR WHEAT
Determined on Wrestling Traffic from
Hartman with G. & S.
ONE OF MAIN OBJECTS OF LINE
Business Has Been Getting Away
from Hill and He believes by
the Recent Deal He Can
Secure II.

Wheat is 70 be one Of the big revenue
producers Of the Colorado & Southern
when 1t is turned over to Mr.. Hill IL the
Minnesota magnate's plans carry. And
this will be new business for Hin. business
which for years has been slipping away
from him into the hands Of L. II. Harri-
man, although It originated in what Is
termed Hill territory.
IL is said the determination Of Hill to
wrest this traffic from Hartman Is one
OF the reasons for the purchase OF the Colo
RADIO & Southern by the Burlington. This
business Ls estimated to be worth between
$4,000 and 10000 in traffic annually
and this the Southern Pacific and it's con-
n~ectlons have been literally taking out of
Hill territory.
One Of the main items OF tonnage which
the Hill lines have for years been losing
because Of no gulf connections rs no less
than 10000, 900 bushels Of wheat, the carry
ing OF which would pay a good dividend on
the stock of the newly acquired Hill line.
The eleven states and territories west of
the Rockies are annually producing about
So, 200, 900 surplus bushels of wheat, most OF
which is grown in Washington, Idaho, Ore
gon and California. About 100000 bushels
of this surplus leaves the country via the
Pacific coast ports. Hill secures the big
end OF the 10000 900 bushels which goes
from the Puget Sound ports. OF the bal
anoe 100000 leaves from the Oregon ports
and about 100000 bushels from San Fran
cisco. This leaves about 30,OOO,O0 to seek
an outlet through the gulf ports, bound for
South America and Europe. Although most
of this is grown in Hill territory 1t has
been escaping Mr., Hin and has been moved
to the gulf ports by Mr.. Hartman. Hin was
-. - IL. 4I--.-l
Denver by reason of which he was not in
a position to control the rates. Now 1t will
be different and, with Hill In control of
the Colorado & Southern, he will be in a
position to wrest some OF this business
back from Hartman

NEW ROUTE TO NATIONAL PARK
One of Big Undertakings in Railroad
Building Campaign.

In the campaign of railroad building
which James ]. Hill is about to undertake
in Wyoming - included the Improvement
of . new route into the National park, a
route which is now practically completed.
The new route Is a coaching road from
Cody into the park and most OF the work
is now done.
To assist in hauling material TO the big
Shoshone dam the government has con-
structed a rock road from Cody to the
government dam, which is nearing compile
ton. But a short stretch of road remains
from the end of the government road to
the edge of the park, where the govern
ment already maintains splendid roads, and
this short stretch will be built by Big Horn
county and q campaign started by the Hill
lines to induce people to enter the park
In this direction.
Indications now are that the giant granite
structure which the government is build
ing will be completed enough to hold the
flood water from the melting SHOWS of the
Rockies this summer and then the govern
ment road will be ready for travel.
Although Hill will build a second line
across Wyoming, it will not be completed
this summer in time for the heavy travel
which is sure to result from increased pros
perity and because of the Seattle exposi-
ton. An effort is to be made to have
many of the tourists enter the park by the
Cody route.
John Goff, famous as guide to President
Roosevelt, has established his hunting
headquarters at Waplta Inn, just inside the
park on the Cody road, and already sew
eral large parties have been organized to
hunt for big game under his guidance.

Of il. Pool of Richardson county on the
fifteenth ballot had ~thirty-four votes and
the name of Thomas was called. He was

switch from Clark to Pool. He hesitated,
then while consulting Clark the roll went
on and Thomas missed his opportunity.
On the final ballot which elected Pool
Thomas and Butts failed to vote for the
successful candidate, though the other
seven members got into the bandwagon.
Henry of Holt, the defeated candidate for

Charles w. Pool, the new speaker OF the
house of representatives, is the first demo-
crat ever to hold that office in Nebraska.
There have been fusionists and populists,
but no bona fide dyed-in-the-wool Jeffer-
sonian democrat before the present speaker.
Mr.. Pool has been in Nebraska for forty
tyo years, coming here from Illinois, and
for thirty years of that time he has been
in the newspaper business as printer and
editor and publisher. Twenty years ago
he established the Johnson County Journal,
which af that time was the fourth demo-
cratic paper in Nebraska. At the present
time Mr.. Pool is the editor and owner Of
the Johnson County Tribunal, an independ-
ent paper.
Mr.. Pool has always been intimately con-
nected with the politics Of the First dis
trict and of the state and has on numerous
occasions been a de- gate to democratic
state conventions.
Save that of councilman and other city
positions, Mr.. Pool has never held office
until the present time. He is married, but
has no family.
