Attorney General Brown returned last
night from Harvey county, where he
went to oppose the motion filed by the
attorneys for the Pacific Livestock
company to have the circuit court set
aside its order dismissing the original
complaint filed by the state against
the company IN the alleged land fraud
caes. Circuit Judge Biggs denied the
motion, and gave the company 30 days
in which to file demurrer to the new
complaint filed against the company by
the attorney general. The new complaint
alleges that large tracts of land were
fraudulently obtained from the state
by means Of forged deeds and applica,
tions and false affidavits, while the or
ignal complaint which the ittorney
general had dismissed alleged the lands
were obtained through conspiracy.
