an uproar. Resolutions were offered
to adopt tho report as a whole, an
other to reror It back to tho executive
council without recommendation, and
all the while delegates wildly clam
ored to discuss tho subject and give

wnB thorough and spirited, but with

Land Promoters Caught In Net.
Lincoln, Oct. 19. "Pat" King, tho
policy king of Chicago; Lawrence
King nnd W. J. Balrd, promoter of
the Chicago ranch scheme ln Sher
idan county, Nebraska, were indicted
by the federal grand jury on the
chargo of fraud and conspiracy in
seeking to obtain title to 50,000 acres
of land In Sheridan county by fraud.
Tho "Chicago Ranch" scheme was
a new one to the land officials and
was nipped Just ln time. Tho com
pany originally consisted of fifteen
cntrymen, who filed on whole sections
of land nnd then organized themselves
Into a company, known as tho Chicago
Ranch. Theso parties were all Chi
cago peoplo and ench put In from $50
to $250 cash and becamo stockholders.
Some of tho proceeds were devoted
to fencing tho entire tract of 50,000
acres nnd buying live stock, the wholo
number of live stock consisting of ono
cow nnd six horses. An assessment of
$2 50 n month was mado on stockhold
ers and things were moving along fine.
Then It became necessary to secure
titles to all the land enclosed by tho
fonco and the country was raked for
a number of old sollders to make fil
ings on tho lands. They were paid a
bonus of $25 nt tho start. After a
tlmo the soldiers were persuaded to
glvo relinquishments to tho land for
nn addtlonal consideration In order
that other parties might be persuaded
to file on their claims. The purpose
of tho Chicago Ranch people was to
cover up the land by fraudulent ill
Ings and then speculate on securing
other filings by parties who could bo
persuaded to become stockholders.
