Running to Cover

The expected sometimes happens
the crooked lawyers indicted by the
grand jury are trying to get away
by interposing legal technicalities.
The noisy demand for immediate
vindication turns out to be only a
cover for an attack on the selection
of the grand jury, although chosen
in precisely the same manner as all
the other juries, and, in point Of
membership, ranking higher than
most previous grand juries.
The recent grand jury was drawn
by County Clerk Dewey and Dis
triot Court Clerk Smith in the pres
enoe Of Judge English. If the panel
is illegal, so is every jury in every
lawsuit tried at this term of court.
II none but common people had
been caught in the net the work

and with tales OF others who had met
untlmely deaths through similar afflle-

GOOD PROSPECT FOR CROPS
General Manager Holdrege Most OPP
timitsic Over Outlook.
EXPECTS MORE CORN ACREAGE
winter wheat 90 In Excellent Con-
ditIon and There was Prncti-
cnIIy No Loss Of Live stock
During the winter.

General Manager Holdrege OF tho Burl-
ington is in from an inspection tour that
took him over practically all OF the com-
pany lines west OF the Missouri river.
Always an optimist. Mr.. Holdrege re-
turns feeling more optimistic than ever
over the crop outlook ana the live stool;
conditions. Speaking Of the situation, he
says:
winter is over and the stock on the
ranges and on the farms ls In the very
best condition. Losses have been the
lightest in the history OF the central west.
As a matter of fact. really there have
been none. Cattle have come through
the winter in splendid condition and they
will be ready to take on fat as soon as
the grass starts. This ought 10 result in
the run Of range cattle starting 10 mar
kct much earlier than usual.
II have never seen fall wheat look as
well a. this season Of the year as It does
right now. The stand is excellent and
in no place does It seem to have been
killed out during the winter. The fields
are beginning to turn green and. with a
few days OF warm sunshine, the plant
would take on wonderful growth.

heavy SHOWS OF the last winter, the
ground Is thoroughly wet down some dis
tance below the roots Of the growing
grain. and with normal weather and nor
NAL crop conditions. there seems to be
no reason why Nebraska should not har-
vest an Immense wheat crop this season.
Large Corn Acreage.
Going through the country and talk
ing with farmers, am led to believe that
the corn acreage this season will be
about the largest in the history OF the
state. find that everywhere the farm
ers are paying special attention 10 Sc
curing good seed They are testing the
seed and l am inclined TO think they
VIII plant only that which will germn-
ate, Besides, they intend to plant varieties
that are recognized as the very best.
THE country towns look prosperous
and from what ! could gather. think
business generally 10 very good. Every
thing the farmer has to sell Is bringing a
good price and there is a good demand,
not only for the grain and cattle, but
for the produce"
More OF Wells.
While out in Wyoming. Mr.. Holdrege
tracing attention and found a great deal
OF activity. Spectators and men with
money for investment arc nocklng into
ths districts and while lie does not anti
cipate a boom. he looks for some won
dorful Developments before next winter.
According TO Mr.. Hodrege. the new
oil field starts north Of Cowley. twelve
miles south Of the Montana line, on the
Thermopolis-Casper branch OF the Bur
hngton, and extends as far south as
Basin.
Within the last six week. says Mr..
Holdege, a number OF wells have been
brought In around Cowley and Lowell and
htill more arc being drilled The oil Ia
struck at a depth ranging from 700 feet
20 100 feet and the quality is about the
same as that OF the Casper fields Drill
ingis now going on in the vicinity OF
Basin and the prospects, Mr.. Holdrege
says, are pronounced excellent.
