SEIILERS
ASK ATTORNEY GENERAL TO
PROTECT FROM CATTLEMEN.
SEVERAL eOUGHLYISTeEATEO
Lives Are Threatened If They Survey
More Land. Other Matters From
the State Capital.
Alleging that they are threatened
with death and that their property Is
bolus destroyed , homesteaders In the
neighborhood Of Hlngham have ap
pealed to Attorney General Thomp
son for help.
In a letter received by him the
writer set out that Henry S. Coulson ,
Oolba I ) . Graves and Hey Diamond
wore held up at the points of guns In
the hands , of cattlemen , while their
hay tools were destroyed and their
harness cut to pieces. The letter
charges that the parties who com-
inltted the depredations were Perry
A. Yeast , Prank W. Yeast , M. C. Hub
ble. I. . 13. Balllngor , .1. W. Cameron ,
.1. W. Martial , Ward Wiley , Andy
Whitsel , Hob Howcll , Bert llnyward.
W. / . Kmerson. Harry Stilton. All
of theso. the letter said , took part
In the proceedings , while the follow
ing were witnesses , but took no part :
Earl Phillips , Lcsllo Lnzenbe , Prank
Carpenter , .lim Osborn , Scott Patillo.
The writer of the letter said he ,
with Coulson , Graves and Dlmond
wore putting up hay for Coulson ,
when headed by Perry A. Yeast , the
crowd came up. Yeast , the letter
said , told Coulhon If ho surveyed anymore
more- land ho would kill him. Groves ,
I ho letter said , was threatened with
death and knocked down because the
niHii charged him with having report
ed them to the authorities. Then
while they stood off the homestead
ers , the letter said , with guns and
pltchtorkH , others In the party took
axes and broke up the sulky rake and
tut the harness into lilts , offering to
give Groves a small piece as a
souvenir.
Several months ago complaints
were received by the governor from
the homesteaders agalnnt the cattle
men , but the last letter received con
tained more serious charges than any
of tlio others. Mr. Thompson will in
vestigate the- matter thoroughly and
take tlio necessary steps to sen to It
that the homesteaders are protected
In their rights.
University Getting Ready.
The state university 1 anticipating
an unusually hen\y registration this
year. Based on present Indications it
IM estimated that over l.dOO new stu-
dons will matriculate In all of the de
partments and Komo of the heads of
departments are wondering what
they are to do with all the new stu
dents. Dr. C. 1C. Bessey has been
troubled with a large surplus of stu
dents in the department of botany for
several years and Is worrying about
means to accommodate the largo
number which ho expects to register
for work in that department this
year. The trouble in accommodating
students is met with to a largo extent ,
in all departments giving work re
quired for degrees.
Enough Material on Hand.
The United States civil service
commission announces there \vill be
no clerk-carrier examination this fall

maining on the register secured from

Nebraska Com Per Centage.
In its hoard of trade gossip , the Chicago
cage Hecord-IIerald printed this :
"Largo numbers of inquiries were
sent out three days ago by Ware-Lo
in ml to ascertain the percentage of
barren stalks In average corn Holds
in leading states. The plan adopted
was to count 100 stalks and subtract
the number of stalks that had failed
to our. It was found that the per
centage In Nebraska was much
heavier than In the other states re
ported. The barren stalks represent
ed 10 to ! ! per cent In forty-six Ne
braska Holds , while in the Illinois
holds thn average was but little over
7 per cent. Iowa reports received
were few. "
The Corn Surplus.
Stock men who have been Inter
viewed at South Omaha about condi
tions in the state say that the amount
of surplus corn from the old crop In

CORPORATION TAXEG.
They Dccomc Delinquent the First of
September.
Though a penalty IH levied Septem
ber I against every corporation do
ing business In Nebraska which has
not paid Its occupation tax , only 1,200
out of IJ.OOO have so far met the re
quirements of the law. After Septem
ber 1 every corporation which falls to
pay the tax will be assessed a pen
alty of $10. November 30 , if the tax
has not been paid , the corporation
becomes defunct urn ) If It does busi
ness In Nebraska legally It will bo
required to reille Its articles of Incor
poration.
The law was unacted by the late
Inglslature ami approximately 4,000
corporations fnlloil to pay the tax and
thereby forlclted their charters ,
charters. Among the largo corpora
tions which the governor , through u
proclamation , declared without legal
authority to do btmlness In the slate
wan the Uock island railroad. This
company overlooked or failed to pay
Its tax and several niontlu : after it
had become defunct an agent of the
company came to the state honso to
look up the case. He was Informed
that the only way , so far thought
out , for the railroad to got right , waste
to rctilo Itn articles of incorporation.
This would cost In the neighborhood
of $ Ufi,00 ( ) . So far nothing has been
done , but U Is possible the governor
will order the attorney general to pro-
ci-rd against tlio comuany.
Telephone Company's Answer.
In answer to questions asked by At
torney General Thompson , the Ne
braska Telephone company filed in
the supreme court a mass of statis
tics and statements regarding the op
eration of the company In this state.
Those questions are a result of the
suit Hied by the attorney general at
the request of parties interested in
the Lincoln Telephone company from
buying a controlling Interest in Inde
pendent companies.
One of the questions submitted was
whether the Nebraska Telephone
company would agree to connect with
the Lincoln company. In answer , At
torney Morsman said the Nebraska
company would connect with the Lin
coln company or any other company
that would bring it business , hut it
doubted that the Lincoln . company
would consent to connect , inasmuch
as it hud signed a contract not to
connect with the Nebraska company
for twenty-live years.
The statement Hied by the Nebraska
company covers the Intentionand-llrst
use of the telephone and its devel
opment down to the present time.
