Another Bio News Feat,

The Norfolk Daily News was the
only newspaper In the western part
OF the United States that printed the
Standard Oil decision in its regular
evening edition, the same afternoon
as rendered by the supreme court in
Washington.
The achievement was but another
demonstration of the splendid news
service which this paper Is giving the
people of north Nebraska and south
ern Dakota.
Not an evening paper from any 9th.
er city coming into this territory con.
tanned the slightest word to even indi
cate that the important decision, for
which the commercial world had been
waiting nearly two years, would be
rendered Monday.
1t was 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
in Washington when Chief Justice
White began reading the lengthy opin
ion. The Associated Press flashed
this fact over it's leased wires, and
five minutes later the bulletin was ir

1t was fifty minutes before the CHIEF
justice reached point in the opinion
which indicated that the government

Washington, $3.50 in Norfolk. Ter
minutes later The News was on the

How Jack Sullivan Won.

New York World: The Sullivan
family is on the map again, for last
might at the Olympic A. c. Montana
Jack Sullivan gave Sailor Burke the
trimming of his young and eventful
life.
Behind this fight there is a story
a little human interest tale" as the
Sunday editors say.
The Montana boys, Jack and Dan,
came to New York few months ago
backed by long record of successful
western fights. Jack, the older of the
two and the more clever, had beaten
Jim Flynn, who knocked out Al Kauf-
man few months ago in Kansas City,
and had fought a tweny-round draw
with Ketchel. Dan was younger and
less experienced, but stronger and
more rugged as we'll as more the
fighter in appearance. The two began
training together at Browns, very
quietly, and waited for matches. Be-
cause of their western reputation they
found opportunities hard to find. Both
had been beating heavyweights, while
either could easily make the old
Tommy Ryan middleweight limit-154
pounds ringside. Middleweights who
beat heavyweights aren't popular
among other aspirants for the middle
weight title.
Jack Sullivan fought Connie Smith
and won easily. Then along came
Frank Klaus. He was willing to fight
anybody, whether the name was Sulli
van or Bachigaloupi, and with entire
disregard for western performances
Klaus fought and stopped Jack Sulli
van in three fierce rounds, the referee
ending the bout when Sullivan was
helpless on his feet after several hard
knockdowns. Brother Dan, in Jacks
corner, was almost broken hearted. II
was up to Dan to save the family rep
utation, and he determined to do it by
walloping Sailor Burke.
Jack stood in Dams corner that
night at the n. Y. A. G. and saw the
younger brother, after a terrific, see
saw battle, beaten so badly that the
fight was stopped at the end of the
ninth in response to the demands O
blow. Everybody laughed at the Sui
livans now. Dan went west to figh
his way up again. Jack stayed in New
York. His one desire was to fight anC
whip Burke. "I'll whip him sure" HI
declared. IF he can whip me I'm NJ
fighter, and I'll go back to Montana
back to the mines"

Want Fl. Niobrara Open to Settlement.

Valentine, Neb., May 16.-Special
to The News: The Commercial club
of Valentine is circulating petitions
asking the delegation in congress to
secure legislation that will open the
$4,000 acres of Fort Niobrara military
reservation to homestead settlement.
They are asking that all that part ly-
ing north of the Niobrara river be
opened up to settlement under the
original homestead act of 100 acres,
there being some land along the north
side of the Niobrara river of as fine
an agriculture character as can be
found anywhere. That on the south
side, being some sandy, the iegisla-
ture is asked to open under the 64O-
acre Kinkaid act.
The military vacated this land in
1906, reserving the reservation, how
ever, for maneuver purposes and DOS
sibly for what is known as a remount
station-that is, colts were to be
brought here, raised and broke for
cavalry and artillery service. How
ever, after five years, during which
time the land has been absolutely va
cant and devoid of any use, nothing
has been done and the people of this
county think that the land is too val.
liable to lie absolutely idle.
Should it be opened, as prayed, a
fine lot of agriculture land will be
available to homesteaders directly
! tributary to Valentine.

that territory 1t Is Madero's purpose
to Isolate as many OF the federal

by the insurrectos. No doubt exists
here that this city Is to be the next

who are regarded as the vanguard of
the attacking forces. 1t is believed

ment. Eagle Feather and Quick Bear
will go on to Washington and present
their case to the president. They will
claim that all the land of the Rosebud
country belongs to the Indians and
that the white men on it are merely
squatters.
The old men who helped make the
treaty, those still living, tell the young
men that the treaty actually made
contemplated that the land which has
now been opened to white settlers
should only be leased to the United
States and should not pass out of In
dian ownership. The old men have
not been inclined to insist on what
they consider their rights, and so
those of the younger generation are
taking the matter up.
