Under the second pToviso of sec
ton ! the act will not be held to de-
feat the adverse claim of one who
had made entry over soldiers de-

the passage of the act had estab-
lished a bona fde residence on the

the benefit of homesteaders in Trip

cessful in drawing at the registra-
ton for lands held in October 1908,
granting them an extension of time
within which to establish residence
upon their lands, otherwise they would
have been compelled to move there

When the bill reached the house OF
representatives Congressman NJ. p.
Kinkaid of Nebraska, always alert tc
aid the many thousands of homestead
ers who made entries under the one
section homestead law known as the
"Kinkaid law" secured an amendment
to the bill referred to by having same
include homesteaders in Nebraska
and also granting all homesteaders q
leave of absence for the period OF
three months from January 2S, 1910.

CATTLE STARVED EAST
OF ROCKY MTS.
In Terrible Winter Cold
Staggered About Over
Snow Covered Desert.

That weather reports of the last
few weeks from the states east of
the Rocky Mountains are mild COM
pared with the actually existing
conditions, is the report brought
here by men who have been in
Wyoming. According to their re-
ports the loss to stockmen will be
enormous, whole herds of cattle
starving and freezing to death after
having staggered about in vain
search of food and shelter.
I'VE went to Wyoming to do con-
tract work on a railroad extension"
said one of the party, but let me
tell you | never saw such desola-
ton and intense misery as in those
mountains. Everything was buried
in snow, and on the hills we saw
herds of cattle staggering about in
search of food. We were left at a
small station in the midst of a
desert country expecting to catch
the stage for Billings, but the train
was six hours late, and we had to
wait whole day for a chance to
get out. That night was horrible
because we had to sleep on the
station floor and the temperature
down to something like 40 below
zero
"Traveling by stage we saw herds
of cattle slide from the hills into
he .
head at a time. 1t was awful to
see those animals emaciated to the
bone. The loss to the Wyoming
stockmcn will aggregate hundreds
of thousands Of dollars. One man
said his personal loss would hardly
be covered by $4,000"
