Civil War Veteran
Becomes Citizen
North Platte. Neb.. June 28. (Spe
cial.) J. V. Cockran, civil war sol
dier and veteran railroad man. has just
taken out final papers and proved up
on 'a homestead twenty-two miles
north of Sutherland, a small town
near here. Cockran, when he was dis
charged from his company at the close
of the civil war, came to Nebraska.
He was employed by the Union Pa
cific, and for a time was one of the
men who sawed logs into proper
length for feeding the old woodburner
engines that at that time-drew the
trains over the great pioneer road.
He was in the emnlov nf the Union
Pacific in 1867 when a band of hostile
Indians wrecked the train at Plum
Creek station and attacked the train
men. He recalls the first stories
of the disaster that came to North
Platte, of the death of Conductor
Kinnev and of how Dave Perrv died
under his engine. Also the story of
Thompson, the Englishman who
scalped by the Indians and left for
dead on the field, regained conscious
ness and walked four miles for aid.
Cockran, having proved up on his
homestead, plans to spend the re
mainder of his days' on his farm.
Laundry Building
And Bakery Burned
At the Genoa School
Columbus, Neb., June 28. (Special
Telegram.) Last evening at 5 o'clock
the laundry and bakery buildings at
the Genoa Indian school were en
tirely destroyed by fire, the contents
of both buildings being a total loss,
although covered by insurance.
The cause was a defective flue
which was not Vioticed until the flames
broke out, too late to save any of the
buildings. Several of th einmates who
were working in the buildings at the
time lost all their belongings. It is
estimated that the total loss will
amount to about $10,000 to the government.
It did not matter much about the
laundry burning, as a new building
had been erected and new machinery
had been installed. The burning of
the bakery made it a little incon
venient for a few hours, but home
bakeries today are furnishing all the
bread that is used at the government
school.

No Farming Done
In Dodge County
These Warm Days
There isn't much farming being
done these days in Dodge county
Nebraska.
Fur, he it known, Joe Steelier is
conducting a training camp out in
Dodge county, and for about fourteen
hours a day every man, woman and
child in the county is at the training
camp.
The young bucks of the county who
became lnnoculated with the rasslin
bug a couple of years ago when
Stechcr started his comet-like charge
through the wrestling sky, have been
working out with Steelier at the camp
or, rather, Steelier has been working
out with them. Joe takes 'em all on,
one right after the other, and one
continual howl for help that can be
heard clear to Fremont constantly
emanates from the camp.
' A letter from Joe Hctmanck, Stech
er's business boss, conveys the in
formation that Joe is working his
head ott tor his match with Lewis in
Omaha lulv 4. "loe never trained
for a match like he is training for this
bout," says Hetmanek. "He believes
in preparedness and will sure be pre.
pared to give Mr. Lewis a good trim,
ming."
U. S, Supreme Court
Reverses Itself
An unique court decision, one in
which the United States supreme
court has flatly reversed itself, is re
vealed in that tribunal's decision it
the case of United States against
Fred Nice, the syllabus of which has
just been received here. This deci
sion holds that an Indian is not a
citizen even though he holds an al
lotment of land and that, therefore,
sale of liquor to such an Indian is a
violation of the law.
In the Heff case, decided April 10,
1905, the court held that sale of liquor
to an Indian holding land was not a
violation of the law, because the In
dian became a citizen when he got
the land.
Since the first decision congress
passed the Bourke act, providing that
in all allotments of land to Indians
the Bovernment held the land in trust
and was the guardian of the Indians.
Despondent Man Endeavors

pation, it is said.

Kansas City and 1,567 miles to San

away, Denting, N. M., 1,358 miles, and
Bay City, 1,143 miles. Figuring
twenty-five miles an hour, train life
of from forty-five to fifty-five hours is
necessary to reach any of these
points, not including time for stops.
Grain Conditions Never
Better in the West
The North (Platte Agricultural Ex
periment station reports that grain
crops are in excellent condition.
Prospects jvere never better for a
heavy crop. The dry weather early
in the season prevented an excessive
growth of straw and the rains coming
at this time are very favorable for
the development of grain. The cool
weather has kept corn from malting
much growth. Considerable first
crop of alfalfa spoiled in the shock
