CAPT BEOK UPHELD
A COMPLETE VICTORY FOR THE
INDIAN AGENT
The Flournoy Company Is Knocked Oat
and the Agent May Eject Tenants of
the Land if He So Pleases Other Item9
of Interest
Capt Beck Dpheld
Judge Shiras in the United States Cir
cuit Court at Lincoln handed down de
cisions in the Winnebago Indian cases in
which Agent Capt Beck is sustained and
the Flournoy Land Company is knocked
out on about every point presented
There were two cases one commenced
by the Flournoy sublessees and in which
an injunction was obtained from the state
court District Judge Norris restraining
Capt Beck from using his Indian police fto
evict settlers The case was removed to
the lederal court by the counsel for the
Government Judge Shiras dissolves this
injunction
The other case was an action brought on
behalf of the Government in which it
asked that an order be issued to restrain
the Flournoy Company and its 250 sub
lessees from leasing lands belonging to
the Winnebago Reservation and compel
them to yield possession of these lands
This was decided in favor of the Govern
ment and the opinion recites that an order
of ejectment may be issued if demanded
The effect of the two decisions is to de
clare that those claiming under the Feb
ruary leases or similar title have no right
to the lands and Capt Beck is left free to
maintain the supremacy and control of
she government on the reservation The
opinions at great length recite the
ireaty stipulation and acts of congress in
relation to the allotment of lands in sev
aralty to the Indians of tbe reservation
and especially the stipulation that the
Indians were not to have power to alien
ate the lands until after they had been held
in severalty for tvuty five years
1 he order of injunetional ejectment
probably not be asked for at once the
the court holds that the Uovernmei
entitled to it Under the decisions
Flournoy Company its sublessees and
rlaiming by similar title are declare
jave no rights on the reservation and
fonstrued to follow that Capt Beck i
nstructea Dy urn department may sum
marily evict them as tresspassers the
right of the Government to full controDof
the reservation being declared as neces
sarily following its obligations as trustee
of the Indians
OMAHA EDITORS AT WAR
JRosewater Saed for 850000 Damages by
the World Heralds Proprietor
Editors Hitchcock and Rosewater of
Omaha have again entered the district
courts of Douglas County to engage in the
conduct of a libel suit The World Herald
Publishing Company started a damage suit
against the Bee Publishing Company to
recover the sum of 50000 The suit comes
about on account of a story published in
the Bee October 3 in which it is related
that newspaper changes are impending
and that tho World Herald is to be ab
sorbed by the Council Bluffs Nonpareil
together with reflections on the financial
condition of the World Herald The arti
2le went into the particulars purporting
to give the inside history of numerous news
paper and political deals not on the string
together with a resume of the financial
standing of the Bees rival The day fol
lowing the publication the World Herald
came out with a strenuous editorial on the
subject This has been followed up by
the institution of the suit in question The
claim for damages is based on the allega
tion that as the paper depends largely on
its advertisements and the circulation of
such reports would have a tendency to de
stroy this business and its credit that
therefore it is entitled to the damages
asked It is alleged that the World-Herald
has a larger circulation than tho Bee
but both cover about the same territorv
