Border Cattlemen
HarasS Settlers
on Grazing Lands
Sioux County Farmer Tells of Efforts
of Barons to Dislodge Them
from Their Holdings.
CFrom a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN. April 17.-tSpeclal Edward
Ohnesorge. Kinkaid homesteader from
Sioux county was in the city today to get
Governor Aldrich to interfere II possible
in the alleged differences said to exist in
his section of the state between border
cattlemen and settlers. The absence Of the
states executive gave the western Ne
braskan no chance to pour his tale into the
governors ears, but his private secretary,
l.. b. Fuller, assured Mr., Ohnesorge that
in all probability Governor A1drich would.
upon his return, transmit the facts to the
federal government
THE cattlemen just over the line seem
determined to chase the Kinkaiders out
of our part of the state" said Mr.. Dime
sorge The trouble has existed ever since
the country was opened for settlement and
ever since the cattlemen have been cut
off from allowing their stock to roam over
the range at will Several shooting scrapes
have ACQUIRED within the last few months
and the matter has assumed serious pro-
portions. i have personal knowledge Of
several outrages which have been perpe-
trated upon the homesteaders such as cut
ting fences, breaking into houses and set
ting fire to homes and buildings of the
men who have settled there
II believe that there Is a bunch Of big
cattlemen behind the whole deal and am
satisfied II they could be apprehended the
bad work would cease. The settlers can
never adjust matters themselves. They
must have assistance either from the gov
eminent or the state and think that If
both would, lend hand 1t would be that
much better. - 'AN - ID
81. am confident that large per cent
ID In he OH fag
along the western border OF the state at
this time are not men who really settle
there, but men who get the land in their
name and then pay no more attention to
it until their claims are contested, Then
some other man Of the clique jumps in and
gets 1t for another period, and so on. All
of them, 1 would not be surprised II the
facts were known, are tools of the men
who are seeking to drive the Kinkaiders
from those places.
1.-THE tendency OF the whole affair is to
retard the growth of the country and to
keep men from settling there who would
build II up in many ways Many good
man has been driven from that section of
the state because of the depredations One
case in particular occurred in which a
mans home and barn was burned end he
and his son were both nearly killed In an
attempt to make them leave the country.
1t was said at the governors office that
United States Attorney Howell of Omaha
and the field division of the land office OF
Cheyenne are investigating the matter al
this time. according to advices received
here. Two or three men are also under

COREY'S SRES|GNAT|ON
PUZZLE TO FRIENDS
Steel Magnate Gives No In
dication of Future on
Leaving Trust.

NEW YORK, Jan. Friends and
business associates of William e.
Corey, who yesterday rendered his res
ignation as president of the United
States Steel Corporation, are unable to
determine what business he proposes
to engage in.
His resignation came as surprise
|even to some Of the directors, and he
has intimated to no one what he In
tends doing. 1t is probable that sue
cessor to Mr.. Corey will not be elected.
and that Ebert H. Gray, chairman Of
the finance committee, will assume his
duties.
In 1907, when he married Mabelle
Gilman, the actress. 1t was reported
that Mr.. Corey would retire. but since
that time there has been no talk of the
kind and his retirement now is not
attributed to domestic causes.
Mr.. Corey became president OF the
United States Steel Corporation in
Ilso3. succeeding the company's first
president, Charles NJ Schwab. His
resignation says that he leaves his
most with feelings of loyalty and
frIendship to its interests. His resig-
nation Is effective at the pleasure Of

PORTUGAL TOTT[RS
UNDER NEW HEADS
Statements From Lisbon
Show the Government Has
Trouble Appeasing People.

MADRID, Jan. 4-The Portuguese
leprblic-the youngest on earth--is be-
ljeved to be tottering to its fall.
Official statements given out in Lis
bon today and telegraphed to the vari-
Gus capitals of Europe show that the
government heads are trying to ap-
pease the people. One move by the
government Is the abolition of octrot
taxes upon certain foodstuffs, directly
affecting the poorer classes. Taxes upon
olive oil and meat have been rescinded,
taking $525.000 annual revenue away
from the government, but cheapening
prices of those staples. At the same
time it is reported that the Republican
office holders are compiling a bill to
increase taxes on the property of roy
alists.
That a royalist uprising Is imminent
and is feared by the government is
shown by the large number Of troops
which are being moved into affected
quarters, although the people are being
kept in ignorance of the true con-
ditions.
