The receipts of the United Stated land office, in this city, for the past six months were 998,076.54, an increase over the preceeding six months of about 950,000.00. There were seventy home stead entries filed and 260 final proofs taken. Register Harmon and Receiver Williams and their clerks, Messrs. Long and Dowling, are kept very busy attend ing to their respective duties. If the receipts are as large the next six months astbe past six, the close of the present fiscal year, June 20, the O'Neill office, in point of receipts, will be up near the head of the list of land offices in the United States. Mrs. William Murphy, formerly of Page, died last Friday at Belden, to which place she recently removed with her husband and family. The remains were brought to this city last Saturday night, via the Short line, for interment. The funeral occurred Sunday from the Catholic church. The following named persons accompanied the remains to this city: G. W. Blenkison, C. C. Spear man, J. W. Hooker, James Robdon, R. H. Millhail, A, C. Power, B. S. Spear t man, Mrs. J. B.

McLaughlin, custodian of the government property of Fort Randall military reservation, forty miles west of Yankton, telegraphs the dailies that bands of outlaws numbering as high as 100 men with teams have repeatedly invaded the reservation during the past week from Boyd county, Nebraska, and have cut down every ties on the place. The garrison buildings, it is predicted, will soon be destroyed, as this has been threatened. The custodian and his wife are both very aged and are powerless to prevent the invasion and destruction of property. United States authorities do not respond to a request for aid. It is realty too bad that the reservation Bhould be attacked in this manner. There is no more picturesque spot in the state than the site of Fort Randall, but it is of no further use to the government and we presume the authorities will take no steps to protect it. THE COUHTY SUPERVISORS. The new board of county tupervieors met Tuesday morning in their first reg ular session. The board is composed of the follow ing named gentlemen: First district—Blondin, pop. Second district—Hopkins, pop. Third district—Hack, rep. Fourth district—Combs, pop. Fifth district—Stillwell, pop. Sixth district—Moss, rep. Seventh district—Moore, rep. Having a clear majority of one, the pops organized the board to suit them selves, and in accordance with a slate made out the night previous. Blondin, of the first, was made chairman, afte* which a recess was taken to allow him, time to decide upon his committees, which when announced were as follows: Settlement—Committee af the wbple. Claims—Committee of the whole. Court house, jail, judicial and legal expenBfs—Stillwell, Hack and Combs. Tax and tax titles—Moore, combs and Hopkins. Printing, supplies, finance and official bonds—Hopkins, Stillwell and Moore. This was about all the business trans acted the first day, the balance of the time being taken up in talking over the best plan to tackle the year’s business. Hopkins.was in favor of employing an expert to assist in the settlement, but the balance of the board thought they were elected for that purpose and ought to do the work, consequently Mr. Hop kins was sat upon. Wednesday’s session was not fraught with much business of interest to the general public. A committee on stock brands was appointed, which consisted of Geo. L: Buttler, of Ewing, and Joe McCaffery, of O’Neill. The jury list was drawn for the next term of court, which we will give in full next week. Muck introduced a motion that the printing be let to the lowest responsible bidder, which was voted down by a solid party vote. The question was then laid on the table until 8 o'clock today. An interesting discussion was started when Supervisor Moss stated that Sheriff Hamilton wanted an appropriation of two or three hundred dollars made, to be used as a reward for the arrest and, conviction of John Fanton, charged with stealing cattle. A motion appro priating 9800 for that purpose was introduced by Moss and seconded by Moore. Mack offered an amendment, seconded by Stillwell, placing the amount at 950. A vote was taken on the amendment, which carried, but when the original motion as amended came to a vote, it was a tie. A motion to lay over until Thursday at 2 o’clock then prevailed. Mack opposed the appropriation of 8800 for the reason that it looked to him as though some one knew where Fanton was and was just trying to work the county .for a little money. He thought 850 was sufficient inducement for any one to tell, if he knew, of Fanton’s whereabouts. Hopkins voted for the 850 reward, but said he was opposed to offering rewards for the arrest and con viction of any man; he thought it did not give the prisioner a fair trial; that a reward for conviction had a tendency to cause men to trump up evidence against prisioners for the sole purpose of obtain ing the reward. He believed further that Fanton would not return to Holt county while the charge was hanging over him, and that probably it was a good riddance. Mr. Hopkins, however, suggested that the sheriff be notified that the board was disposed to allow him all reasonable expenses incurred in an effort to'apprehend Fanton, even if his efforts terminated unsuccessfully. The board then adjourned until 0 o’clock Thursday in order that the com mittees might have time to report. The chairman of the board does not fail to vote on any question. It is gen erally necessary, however, as without his vote the board stands three populists and three republicans. Parliamentary law is a little new to him but he catches on quickly and will probably make a good presiding officer. He seems dis posed to be fair in handling questions, and not inclined to be arbitrary when party measures are under discussion. Onr impression is that in disposing of debated questions be will be guided chiefly by Cushing's Manual. KABBIAQE LICENSES.

CARBERRY BOUND OVER Holmquest and Kami Torn State's Evidence. * , ■ -v. • THE MAIN MAN IS MISSING deep Against Carberry Hot Strong Bnt •offlolont to Hold Him. The case of the state against Tom Gfcrberry.of Stuart, charged with being implieated in the stealing of the Cross cattle last December, was called in county court Inst Monday morning. The charge, against Carberry was stealing and conspiracy to steal and carry away I a car load of cattle on the 30th of last December. The prosecution was con dueted by County Attorney Murphy and the defense by Dick Johnson, of Stuart, and Judge Roberts, of O’Neill.. The forenoon was taken up in arguing a motion filed by Roberts to compel the prosecution to state In the information the time and place of the conspiracy charged. The judge finally held that the information charged the conspiracy to hare taken place in Holt county, Ne braska, that it was sufficient and the motion was overruled. The case was I then adjourned until 1 o’clock. The trial proceeded promptly at the appointed bout; the prisoners, Carberry, Holmquest and Marral were arraigned, and listened to the reading of the com plaint by the county attorney, after which the judge propounded to each the customary question of “guilty or not guilty.” Carberry was first in line and answered “not guilty," Marral and Holmquest both pleaded guilty to the charge as read. Although Marral and Holmquest were not on trial they were arraigned for the reason that they were charged with conspiracy and collusion with Carberry, and for the purpose of ueiug them as witnesses against him. Timothy Cross was the first witness for the state. His testimony related only to the ownership and value of the cattle; the date they were taken and the tlmAjnd place found, , , . .W:,^ ; ^Richard Cross was next called. His testimony was substantially the same as that given by his father. He valued the cattle at 1800. MARJLAL TESTIFIES. Defendant Marral was then called by the state, and testified substantially aa follows: Had resided in Atkinson sixteen years. On December 26—day of stealing—wont to bed about 9 o’clock. After going to bed Holmquest came to his borne and called him up. The county attorney here asked bim to repeat the conversation bad at that time, to which counsel for defendant Carberry objected for tbe reason that it had not been shown that Carberry was present at the time. Tbe objection, was overruled and the witness proceeded by saying that after getting np and going out Holmquest asked him if he wanted to make some money, to which be replied that he did. Holmquest told him to go to John Fan ton's barn where he would be met by another person, but did not tell him who tbe other person was. He went to tbe barn and was met by Fanton and after wards joined by Holmquest; tli$ three then proceeding to tbe Cross pasture where a section ot wire fence was let down and fled. A watch dog at the house was making considerable noise at this time and Fanton, fearing it would alarm the Inmates of the house, sent witness to the house with instructions to knock, and if anyone came to the door to inquire the way to Nighten gale’s and then return and report. He went to the house and knocked but did not succeed in arousing anyone; thought there was no one at home. He then re turned to Fanton and Holmquest and together they went into the corral and drove out eighteen head of mixed cattle. Witness helped drive the cattle across tbe railroad track—but a short distance —and then returned home. Fanton said be was going to drive the cattle north. Uarberry wag not there. noI.MQUEST T&LL8 THE STORY. Holmquest testified that be had lived in Atkinson about nine years; was ac quainted with Carbeiry, Fanton and Marrai. Along in December had a con versation with Fanton in regard to driving some cattle: Fanton said he j had a “layout" and would pay him well for the drive. At first witness refused but later agreed to the proposition and went out hunting with Fanton and laid out the route for the drive. Fanton said they were easy and that they would make a quick and a short drive. Drove into Stuart and inquired for Tom Car berry but didn’t see him. On the suc ceeding Saturday night the cattle were taken out of the pasture but the drive was abandoned because they would not cross the river. Witness and Fanton were alone this time, Fanton after wards saw witness and requested him to go to Stuart and see Carberry, which he did. fee saw Carberry at hie home in Stuart, in the yard on west side of the house; told Carberry that Fanton had cattle on road and was crowded for day light and to put them in pasture. On Christmas eve he ngain went to StuaTt; Fanton told him to tell Carberry he would have cattle and for him to come down to Atkinson. Carberry said he would see about coming down. On Christmas witness went to Stuart and told Carberry to come down; he said he would if he conld catch a horse. The* witness here related the story of the theft and drive, which corroborated that given by Marral. He testified further that be had a conversation with Car berry in regard to the place the cattle should be left and that defendant told him to leave them in the sand hills north of Stuart. The cattle were stolen on the 20th inst. and left In the sand hills according to Carberry’s suggestion. On the 38th he went up to Stuart to see what bad become of the cattle; met Carberry in Strohm’s saloon and he said they were a nice bunch. Carberry, Fanton and witness went out into an alley and talked about hiring a car for shipping. Fan ton told witness to go as he himself was too well known. The next time he saw Carberry was on New Year’s eve, in Stuart, at which time Carberry told him the cattle had been found. DEFENDANT DENIES. veienuant jarDerry «u tnen placed on the stand in his own defense. W si in the cattle business at Stuart. Denied ever having had any conversation with Holmquest regarding the cattle. Re-' ceived a card from Cross stating that cattle bad been stolen; was on his way to O'Heill at the lime. Upon his retunp home he read the card to his father, who told him that some stray cattle had been seen in the neighborhood. He took the card to the marshal and told him that he could get the reward if he found the cattle. He went out with the marshal to hunt up the stock and met a man driving them into town; the man in quired whose cattle they were and he told him they probably belonged to Mr. Cross as he had lost a bunch.. He took cattle and put them into his own corral, then went with the raarsbalto the depot and sent a telegram to Cross stating that the cattle had been found. Paid for the telegram himself. He testified that ha never went to Atkinson to see Fenton or anyone else regarding the cattle. Denied having had a conversation with Fanton or Holmquest and also denied all other allegations made by Holmquest. A large number of other witnesses were sworn in defense, their testimony being chiefly to show the good character and reputation of the defendant Car berry, Marshal Allman corroborated Carberry in regard to the finding of the cattle and events that followed. The entire afternoon was consumed in the hearing and an evening session held for the argument of the ease. After hearing the argument the judge bound the defendant over to the district court in the sum of $500. Holmquest and Marral went back to jail. The evidence given above, while of necessity greatly abridged, we believe is pretty nearly correct and states the main points. So far as Carberry is concerned the case made against him is not very strong; probably not strong enough to convict. Holmquest swears yes and he swears no. His testimony is entitled to as much if not more weight than that of Holmquest, which at the worst makes it a stand off. It is understood, however, that the state has another valuable wit ness which will ba used on the trial in the district court. From the testimony in the case it is plain to be seen that Fanton was boss.of the job and the most guilty of the lot. He, however, is not on trial and there are but faint hopes of apprehending him. He fled in the nick of time and is prob ably smart enough to realize his predica ment and "speak easy.” The other prisoners, Holmquest and Marral, who turned state’s evidence, were released on light bail Tuesday. It is thought that the county attorney promised these boys a short sentence, if not absolute freedom, for testifying in behalf of the state. It was necessary to do this in order to make a case against anybody, as at that time he had absolute ly no evidence. If they had refused to confess there would have been no case in court.
