The rest of the federal petit Jury not en

until Monday, June 5, at 9 o'clock a. m.
Baxter Outlines the Case.
In his opening statement to tne jury Dis
trict Attorney Baxter outlined the nature
of the case against the Krause brothers.
who are charged with illegally fencing
some 7.500 acres of public lands In Sheridan
county. Judge Baxter gave a brief history
of the homestead laws and the supplemen
tary Klnkald law, Indicating the rights that
homeseekers had to file upon public lands
that were subject to entry. He showed that
certain parties with their families had gone
Into that section to enter upon public lands
and establish homes there. Specific men
tion was made of one family, that of Theo
dore Osborne, who had made a legal filing
cn a quarter section, and when they went
to locate It found It to be enclosed In the
big pastures of the Krause brothers.
'They, however, located on their entry
and proceeded to Improve It and build a
home," said Mr. Baxter. "It was a crude
affair at first, merely a frail barn. In which
they were to live until they could complete
their sod residence. The Krause brothers
were very Indignant over this Invasion of
their territory and told the Osbornes they
could not stay there, that the land be
longed to them. The Osbornes were people
not very easily scared and they knew their
rights and held onto their claim. The fam
ily was repeatedly warned and threatened
with dire vengeance If they did not leave.
The Krauses, or some of their employes,
undertook at one time to ride down Osborne
and his wife, but they were of the metal
that didn't scare and still held on to their
home.
Mrs Osborne's Shooting;.
On another occasion. In July, 1904, John
Krause and some of his employes came to
the Osborne homestead, knowing that only
Mrs. Osborne and a child were there, and
ordered them to pack up and leave. Mrs.
Oshorne warned them if they undertook any
violence she would shoot, as she had arms
In their little house. -The gang still stayed
around threatening her, so she poked a
shotgun out through the crack of the house
and blazed away atuhe gang. The party
ned, but traces of blood were found, Indi
cating that one of the party had been hit.
"The government , expects to prove fur
ther by competent witnesses that it was a
practice of the defendant to permit their
cattle to overrun the crone and fields of
the homesteaders, and that they would
also Impound their cattle and put the set
tlers to heavy expense In litigating to get
their jtock released. It further expects to
show that the cattlemen, while promising
to remove their unlawful fences, have per
sistently refused to do so In defiance of the
orders of the government agents."
Koleaman Asks Fall Bill.
Attorney Noleman, representing the
Krause brothers. In his opening statement
again asked that the defendants be given
a full bill of particulars as to each Indict
ment, which was again denied him by the
court. He held that if his clients were
guilty of the charges made against them
by the government attornev that the
government had been very derelict In Its
duty In not prosecuting these men for
high crimes and misdemeanors. These
charges he indignantly denied as ground
less and devoid of truth and said they could
not be sustained. He then proceeded to
an analysis of the several counts of the
indictment, showing that the gravamen of
the charges were that the settlers had
been denied a free passage across the lands
of the cattlemen. He characterized Colonel
John' H. Mosby, the special agent of the
general land offiee, as "Mosby, the fence
destroyer." He maintained that his clients
did tear down the fences ordered torn
down by Mosby and that they had taken
up all the fences that they knew was on
public land. He then proceded to show
that the country in question was exclu
sively a cattle country and was not suit
able for agricultural purposes. He chal
lenged the statement of the government
that these men were guilty of any crime.
Much of the land alleged to be unlawfully
fenced had been taken up by the cattlemen
under the homestead and Klnkald acts.
His client, he said, would be shown to be
Innocent In spite of any testimony the
government might introduce.
"There was but little difference between
the cattlemen and homesteaders," he con
tinued. "The cattlemen were all home
steaders, and most of the homesteaders
were cattlemen In that country."
His clients were not cattle barons, but
were poor, hard working men and were
not guilty of the charges brought against
them.
First Witness for I nele fan.
The first witness for the government was
F. D. De Frees of Alliance, special agent
of the land department. His testimony was
in eiTect that he had found great areas of
public lands fenced by the defendants and
that he had ordered the fences removed,
but up to thla time the fences remained.
His evidence was fortified with maps show
ing the area of public lands Illegally fenced
by the Krauae brothers. They had re
peatedly promised him to take down the
fences, but had as repeatedly failed to do

down all the fences Mosby had ordered re
moved. Mr. De Frees stated that Krause
had taken down some few rods of fence,
but had not taken down the fence he had
been ordered to take down.
Those Government Corners.
M'hen the case was resumed after the
noon recess Wednesday afternoon Agent
DeFrees was recalled on cross-examination.
The particular features that Mr. Noleman
wished to bring out were the establishment
of government corners and to ascertain
whether Mr. DeFrees had undertaken to
establish any of the corners. Mr. DeFrees
stated that but few government corners
now existed there, but that there were
sufficient of them to assist In the establish
ment of correct surveys.
Mr. Noleman thereupon moved that all
the evidence In chief given by this witness
In reference to the establishment of lines
be stricken from tho record. The motion
was overruled.
Mrs. Bessie Osborn, wife of Theodore
Osborn, was next called and proved her
self a remarkable witness, not alone from
clearness of her answers and intelligence,
but from the knowledge she possesses of
the question at Issue and particularly re
garding the land descriptions and locations
throughout Sheridan county. It was she
who first made maps of the illegal fences,
accurately following every section and
quarter line over which they ran In the
whole of the Krause brothers' enclosure,
extending over four townships and em
bracing 7,500 acres or more. Mrs. Osborn
is comparatively a young woman, of pleas
ing appearance and has a clear, resonant
voice. She is completely self-possessed and
during the dry details of her direct and
cross-examination was not perturbed in
the slightest. She seemed to have the de
scription of every section and quarter line
in that district at her tongue's end and
once or twice corrected the attorneys, who
had accldently misstated certain section
lines, without even referring ta the map.
Tells of FlllaK.
She stated in her direct examination that
she, with her husband, had first visited
Sheridan county la the fall of 1901 with a
view to locating there. 6
"Mr. Osborn made his filing In Novem
ber of that year. We settled on the claim
In May, 1K03. and have since lived there,"
she said. "At the time of our first visit to
the country the land thereabout was en
closed with a range cattle fence, belonging
to the Krause brothers. They settled upon
a claim inside the enclosure, It being pub
lic laud, on what waa known as the south
range of the Krause brothers' ranch. Their
land Is described as the east half south
east, northwest quarter southeast, north
east quarter south est, S5-26-46. west of 6
p. m. Sheridan county, Nebraska."
She further testified that the Krause
brothers kept the fences In repair at all
times, and that she had seen them as late
as last April putting In new posts and
stretching wires along various sections of
the fence. She also testified as to the ex
tent of the enclosure, and the number of
settlers inside the lnclosure; also relative
to connecting fences along the lnclosure
line owned by other parties, but connected
with and controlled by the Krause broth
ers' fence line.
On Cross-examination.
Mrs. Oeborn was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination by Mr. Noleman, but her
evidence was not shaken In the slightest.
Asked if she personally knew one of the
men whom she saw repairing the line
fence at one time, she replied:
"I did not know him personally, nor did
I speak to him or him to me; for Mr
Krause does not allow his hired men to
njeak to the settlers"
Asked If she did nut refuse to speak to
some of them at times, Bhe replied:
"Oh, It depends upon my mood. If I
happen to think they did not want to
sjieak to me, then I would speak to them.
Asked If she was not Interesting herself
in land titles up there, Mrs. Osborn re
plied: "No, I am not investigating land
titles, I am merely locating fences."
Mrs. Osborn' s cross-examination was not
completed at i o'clock, and a recess was
taken until o'clock this aiomlng. when
her cross-examination will oe resumed.
She will be re-called for direct examlna
tlon upon other phases of tho inquiry later

MAKERS OF OLD FIRST'S FLAG
Long Dlncasaed Qnratton Is Settled
by Joha F. Ben am, Wh Waa
la Regiment.
There has long been a controversy as t
who made the old First Nebraska regiment
flag which hangs In the capltol at Ljncoin,
The question is settled by John F. Behm,
who served, with the First Nebraska. Mr.
Behm says:
"The flag was made by Miss Elisabeth
Davis, who afterward became Mrs. Her
man Kountse, and Miss Gussie Esterbrook.
who is now the wife of Robert Clowry,
president of the Western Union Telegraph
company. When in 1SG1 the First Nebraska
was mustered in the men were lined up In
the street in front of where the Union Pa
cific headquarters building now stand.
They were a ragged looking lot, as none of
them had uniforms except the men of Com
pany A, from Plattsmouth; A flag of bunt
ing was presented to the regiment as tha
handiwork of Miss Davis and Miss Ester
brook." Mr. Behm remembers the Incident dis
tinctly. The flag was carried by the regi
ment all through the war and the tattered
remnants of It are now In the atate housa
at Lincoln.
