ORAND ISLAND, Neb., Jan. 19. (Spe
cial.) An arllcln appearing In the World
Horald of yesterday, to tho effect that a
beet grower' convention Is soon to bo
held In that city, and that grlovancea
against the Grand Island and Norfolk factor
les wljl be brought out, Is being qulto
freoly commented upon hero as being, In
view of tho real facts, uncalled for, unfair
and very probably to a largo degree untrue.
It is believed to bo tho latter particularly
In so far as tho arttclo refers to dlssatls
faction In this city and county.
The article charges that tho boot grow
ers are complaining of unfair treatment
by the officials and employes of tho fac
tory In the matter of tho chemical tests
of beets, and leaves tho Impression that
there Is general complaint. Notwlthstand
ing the fact that tho local factory has not
boen operated tho last two years, qulto
the contrary Appears to bo true It tho testi
mony of tho men In the position to bear of
complaint can bo relied upon.
Ilnlar llccU for Norfolk.
The bcot raisers In this vicinity raised
nearly two-thirds of the beets for tho Nor
folk factory this year. That Is to say, while
the Norfolk factory was tho otio operated,
nearly two-thirds of tho boots manufac
tured Into Biigar In that plant wcro con
tracted for tho Orand Island factory. Tho
Norfolk factory lias a process for tho ex
traction of a greater amount of sugar from
syrups than Is possible here, and hence,
there being not enough beets to run both,
tho local beets nro shipped to that plant.
This condition appears to bavo nrlsen
from twp causps, dissatisfaction several
years ago, resulting In the non-operation of
this plant, and tho fact that without
operating this plant the maximum acreage
of beets cannot bo secured. Tho ono fault
now found, locally, Is that tho raisers
would prefer to seo tho beets ground In
their own factory, and tho money dis
tributed In the manufacture of tho beets
romaln In their own county or vicinity.
The American Dect Sugar company at
this point docs business with tho Grand
Island Hanking company and tho First Na
tional bank. Tho cashiers of theso banks
nre at their desks when the beet ralsors
corao In to get their money. In both In
stances tho desks are easily within bear
ing distances of the tellers' windows. They
are therefore able to asccrtnln, from tho
romarks passed, as to whether tho checko
are satisfactory or not.
Kurint-rn Wrll IMensoil.
"Yes," said Mr. Dell, when asked whether
tn a position to say what Is tho feeling
among tho farmers In general, "I think
I. am. Men come to our bank to get their
checks cashed, as In years gono by, and
while thoro wcro formerly numerous com
plaints, not only this year, but also last
year, and to a great extent In 1899 thero
was much better satisfaction. This year
I have not heard a complaint. Quito to
tho contrary, thero have been many expres
sions of commendation of the factory, and
of tho rosults of bent raising this year.
Naturally enough wo hear complaints that
the beets are not made Into sugar here,
and this Is not only tho case among tho
growers, but among tho business men. And
I havo not tho loast doubt but that, If Mr.
Oxnard would glvo assurance of tho opera
tion of the local plant, ho could sccuro all
tho beets necessary for a long run, as tho
factory can moke. Not one complaint havo
I heard about any tests. I understand tho
next year's contract Is to be tho samo as
this, and I believe tho farmers will be very
highly pleased with It. Dy tho way, It's
peculiar, Isn't It, that NebraBknns should
try to havo the protection at Washington
taken away and in tho samo breath advo
cate a bounty to bo given by the stato?"
IMnsntUfnetloii Dltinnnrnra.
Cashlor C. F. Dentloy says:
"The American Deet Sugar company keeps
an account at our bank and pays tho far
mers for their boots by chocks on us.
When the farmers come tn with their
chocks, I frequently tako tho opportunity
to ask them what success they have had
tn beet growing and how they aro pleased
with tho results, A few yoars ago thero
was somo dissatisfaction among the beot
growors. The analysis of ono farmer'H
boots would show a smaller per cent of
sugar than his neighbors'! it would bo diffi
cult for him to understand why his beets
were not ns rich In sugar as his neighbors'
and he would express his dissatisfaction
with tho result. Ono year, when wo had
rains lato In the fall, that caused a second
growth of beot leaves, to tho detriment of
tho sugar contents of tho beot, thero was
considerable dissatisfaction, for the reason
tbat thoro was Buoh a largo percentage of
low grada beots that, under the existing
contract, brought a very low price. This
difficulty, however, could not occur at tho
present tlmo, ns undor nioro recent con
tracts tho minimum prlco is much higher
than it was thon., Tho past year, howovcr,
I havo not heard a'slngle complaint either
about contract, weight, tore or analysis.
It Is possible that .thoro may bo somo dis
satisfaction, but If thero Is, I havo not
heard of It, and I havo talked with a very
large number of beet growers, and nil with
whom I bavo talked seemed thoroughly sat
isfied." Kxnrrlmoc of Wollimniilcr.
Kll A. Darnes, for many years connectod
with the State Agricultural society, has
been welghmastor at the local beet yards
for the past three years. Mr. Dames said,
when questioned as to whether ho had
beard of any complaints: -
"Yes. I saw tho nrtlclo to which you
refer today. I want to say that the state
mfnts therein contained, reforrlng to dis
satisfaction among the Grand Island beet
raisers, Is absolutely false. I have, during
tho season. Interviewed all the raisers
bringing beets to the factory and weighing
them over my scales, and positively know
that such statements nre not correct. Tho
Sugar trust lutplrlng these things? If such
wero tho caso, they have no more right to
Interest Ihemsolves In this matter 'than
the missionaries of tbo cross have to es
pouso the cause of tho Chinese Joss as
against tho claims of Dudda. I weighed
1,476 loads of beets In 1900 and 2,275 In
1901, aud particularly In these two years
have the beet raisers boen very well sntls
fitd." Cattle In Good Condition.

ALLIANCE, Nob., Jan. 19. (Special.)
John It. Iawrence happened along Just nt
an opportune time, for tho Chinaman who
recently married Mary R. Sheedy, a white
woman. Mr. and Mrs. Chinaman hired a
team at the Keclcr barn in this city, and
also seemed to havo taken along a cargo
of "hop" and whiskey.
The country was new to them and along
about 6 o'clock In the evening they at'
tempted to drive across a lake bed on which
a few Inches of water was standing. Thl
had been undermined by muskrats, and
horses and buggy sank Into tho mire,
deeper and deeper an the hours dragged by,
Early In tbe morning they woro discovered
by Mr. Lawrence, tho woman In n semi
unconscious stato and the Chinaman dc
merited.
In a few hours moro tho occupants and
horses would have perished. Mr. Law
renco secured n quantity of barbed wire,
and after nbout a half dny's work, succeeded
In pulling tho party and team out. No
particular damngo resulted to tho outfit,
but tho horses wero so exhausted that tbey
had to bo kept at tho Krauso ranch to re

This particular Chlncso-Amerlcan alliance
soems to bo fraught with somo events of
moro or less grave Importance.

(From a Stnft Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 19. (Special.) Tho State
Doard of Agriculture will meet In this city
next Tuesday to elect ofUccrs aud members
for the board of managers, and to make
preliminary arrangements for tho next stato
fair, which will bo held during tho first
week In September. Somo old accounts re
main to bo settled, but It Is asserted au
thoritatively that after all bills uro paid
there will still bo a small cash balance on
hand with which to begin tho work this
year. Tomorrow afternoon tho board will
probably meet Informally, but nil ofllelal
buslncsj will bo held for the regulor an
nual meeting, which takes place tho follow
ing day.
W. R. Mcllor of Loup City, member of tho
board of managers, was In tbo city this
afternoon, nnd several other members are
expected tomorrow morning. Ho says tho
prospects for tho next stato fair aro flatter
ing and ho looks for not only a bigger at
tendance, but a bigger display than last
year.
"This year wo will havo tho advantage
of well-equipped grounds early In the sea
son, so that wo will not bo dclnyed In our
work by building or repairing, as we wero
last year," Bald Mr. Mellor today. "Thero
has been considerable improvement In tho
grounds and buildings since tho last stato
fair closed. All tho buildings hnvo been
painted nnd tho general condition of things
has otherwise been Improved. It Is my Im
pression that thero will bo a small balance
In tho treasury after nil accounts of tho
last fair are paid. Ono or two claims ro
maln to be considered, but they aro In
significant In amount."
It Is conceded that Robert W. Furuns
of Drownvlllo will bo elected secretary of
tho state board. Ho has served satisfac
torily tn this position for many years past
and there Is a unnnlraous disposition among
tbo mcmbors of tho board to retain him
In tho same capacity. In tho view of tho
two-term precedent thero Is strong likeli
hood tbat E. L. Vnnco of Pawneo City will
be re-olcctcd president. An cntlro new
board of managers will be chosen.
Tho Nebraska Improved Livestock Drecd-
ers' association nnd the Stato Poultry asso
ciation will meet In Lincoln this week.

SHEEPMEN RESENT OIL WELLS
Open Conflict In Expected Over the
Surface Illirhtn In Wyo
ming. CHEYENNE, Wye, Jan. 19. (Special.)
Reports from tho southwestern part of the
stato tell of strained relations between the
sheepmen and oil men of the section, nnd
It Is asserted that nn open conflict Is In
evitable Surface rights are Involved nnd
tho courts will bo called upon to Bottle tho
difficulties, which promise to spread to
every county in the state In which oil has
been discovered, nnd In which sheop are
grazed. The troublo will probably extend
over Into Colorado and Utah, where tho
samo conditions exist ns In this state.
As tbe matter now stands tho contest will
probably originate in Uinta county. Since
tho discovery of oil near Piedmont last
spring, practically all of tho government
land In Uinta county has been taken up as
oil land. The area covorcd Is 100x80 miles
in slzo and has been tho summer range
of thousands of sheep, that are now win
tering in the Red Desert. When the flocks
aro moved back In March and April, the
oil men will bring action against tlielr
owners for trespass. Such action will
open tho question of surfaco rights on oil
claims, and It may not bo settled this side
of the United States supreme court.
In tbo mcantlino there is bound to be
serious troublo betweon the two Interests
and open clashes will probably result. A
few weeks ago otl men located a piece of
ground In the Fossil district, that has boen
used for many years by a prominent flock
master as a dipping corral. Oil indications
wero found thero and no sooner had tho
filings been made, than tho flockmaster
was notified that he must got out or pay
a rental to tho oil men. Tho sheepman
Is wealthy nnd proposes to fight tho caso
out In tho courts.
Tho conditions prevailing In Uinta county
also obtain in Fremont, Natrona. Converse,
Carbon, Sweetwater, Dig Horn, Crook and
Weston counties. In all of theso oil wells
nro being drilled nnd sheep aro being grazed
In and around tho fields of operations. A
few months ago the oil men of tbo Salt
Crock fields, In Natrona county, sought
to have a large tract of land several hun
dred thousand acres In all held up from
homestead entry, on th'o ground that they
were more valuable for mineral than for
agricultural purposes. Tbo petition was
granted and tho large tract was segregated.
A counter petition was soon after filed,
however, und Assistant Commissioner W. A.
Richards of the general land offlco was
sent to personally Investigate tho situation.
Tho official reported that tho segregation
should stand, but stated that If the oil
men did not carry out their promises of
development, tho lands would be restored
to entry.
Tbo oil men assort that if thoy put down
wells speculators file homestead entries on
the land and this action retards develop
ment. The declslou was in favor of tho
oil men and their operations are now being
closely watched by tho department.
The question of surfaco rights Is probably
ono of tho most Important matters that has
been brought up In tho west for some time.
Many believe that It overshadows the
mucb-talked-of war botwecn tho sheop nnO
cattlemen over a division of the ranges
for grazing, nnd cortatn It Is that with the
millions of sheep now being grazed In the
Rocky Mountain states and the Increased
activity In oil development, tho problem
will grow moro Important nnd a decision
must sooner or later bo made.
Some of tho host lawyers hero bold that
surfaco rights of tho locator of an oil placer
are Incontestable, and that tho sheep
owners must bo defeated in the courts,
whllo others think It possible that the
lrazero might Jiavo certain rights to rapnj
as long ns they do not Intcrfero with the
operations of tho oll-seekcrs.
The Wyoming territory Involved In the
controversy Is now plentifully sprinkled
with woll-drllllng outfits, and tho discovery
of a fow good wells would cause It to be
overrun with oil miners nnd covered with
machinery.
CHARLES WOODWARD ELUSIVE

CASPER, Wye, Jan. 19. (Special.) All
efforts to capturo Charles Woodward, tho
supposed murderer of Sheriff Rlckcr of Na
trona county, havo thus far resulted In
nothing. Tho murderer has been seen nt
several aheep camps in Johnson county.
but he Is on the move all tho time. Ono
day last week Woodward stopped nt tho
sheep camp of Tom McAffe, near Powder
river nnd about nlno miles from Knycee,
Ho was armed with two revolvers, ono
of which wns probably taken from tho
dead body of Sheriff Rlckcr, nnd n belt
filled with 32-20 cartridges. Ho wanted to
trade ono of tho pistols to McAffe for n
Winchester rifle, tbo sheepman would not
trade
While at McAffce's camp Woodward
stated that ho was looking for a cabin, In
which to spend tbo winter. He nlso said
that ho Intended to live In tho broken coun
try. Ho was loaklug for horse thieves, ho
said, and expected them to tako rcfugo
In tho bad lands. Woodward appeared to
bo very nervous. McAffe had not beard of
tbo murder of Sheriff Rlcker at tho tlmo of
tho visit of Woodward.
Tho Jury has found that Harry Wood
ward was not Implicated In tbo killing In
any way and ho has been released. Harry
was nt the McRae ranch on tho night of the
murder. Frank Footo Is still at largo and
not a fllnglo trace of him has been obtained.

Drown beforo tho safo, which was locked
and which contained thousands of dollars
worth of diamonds nnd Jewelry, and tried
to forco him to work tho combination for
them. His right hand wan covered with

He I it Worthy Citizen of
South Dnkoln,
WEDSTER, S. D Jnn. 19. To tho Editor
of Tho Dee: Tho peoplo of this city were
very much surprised to rend In tho press
dispatches a telegram from Tacoma relloct-
lng on tho character and godd name of Dr,
J. S. Goodmanson. Tho doctor hns been a
resident of this city for over threo years,
Dack about seven or eight years ago Dr.
Goodmanson wns unfortunnto enough to
loo his first wlfo In Nebraska nnd her rel
atives had him prosecuted on a murder
charge, but a Jury brought In a verdict of
not guilty.
SInco tholr rcsldenco In this city both Mr,
and Mrs. Goodmanson havo moved In tho
best of society nnd are considered nmong
our very best peoplo by nil. Wo all very
much condemn this attack upon their good
name nnd character nnd earnestly dnlro
that a retraction be published as widely as
possible.
Dr. Goodmanson, both professionally and
socially, la well liked and respected hero,
and any report to tho contrary Is absolutely
witnout foundation.
The Washington dlspntch sent hero was
as follows: "When nnd wbero did Dr.
Goodmanson move to Washington, and what
Is thero to tho lynching story 7" Tho re
ply was: "Dr. Goodmanson was never In
tho etato and knows nothing nbout lynch
ing." Dy "stato" iwas meant stnto of
Washington. H. F. DENTON,
