to obtain control of the largest fuel

be absolute than for nobody to know
just what the situation is. The pres.
ent administration has done some
good work, especially in its authoriza-
ton Of government railroads in Alas

with the owner for 80 head more.
Then, after they had seen all the
owner had, they tied him up with
ropes and chains, took him to an iso-
lated building, and drove off all the
horses.
