The Home Protection club met
at Bethel hall Tuesday night , and ,
although the audience was not as
large as we desired , and as we
hope we shall have in the future ,
we had a very enthusiastic meet
ing. The chairman of the evening
spoke with no uncertain sound
with regard to present conditions
of our town and was fearless in
expressing himself as to his atti
tude in relation to future better
ment , and we commend him for
the stand he takes and pledge our
hearty co-operation in bringing
about an improved state of affairs
through the enforcement of law.
An article condemning saloon
advertisements was read. News
papers and periodicals that help to
overthrow the liquor traffic by re
fusing to advertise the evil , will
be the kind that in the long run
will be found "on top , " for the
time is approaching when the liq-
our traffic , as slavery , will be
trampled under foot and ignored ,
and the mere mention of the past
will cause a blush of shame that
this fair Christian land must ever
suffer the sting resulting from this
blight.
It was announced that Col. Holt
will be present to hold an after
noon meeting , Saturday , March
31 , in Bethel hall. All are cordial
ly invited. Also Sunday and Mon
day at eight o'clock in the M. E.
church.
The next meeting of the Home
Protection club will be on Tues
day , April 10th , Everybody re
member and come.

of Subornation of
Perjury.
At Gordon Wednesday morning
Deputy Marshal Proctor the new
ly appointed officer who served
during the Cuban campaign as
President Roosevelt's orderly
made his first arrest since his ap
pointment.The arrest was con-
sideied an important one in the
land fraud prosecutions , the man
whom he took into custody being
Thomas M. Huntington. a banker
of Gordon and president of the
Maverick Trust and Loan com
pany. Huntington is charged with
subornation of perjury. In the
information it is alleged that he
procured Samuel M. Maynard and
Francis J. Porter to swear falsely
when making homestead entries.
With this arrest the government
secret service men , working under
the direction of L. C. Wheeler ,
agent in charge , have caused thir
teen men to be taken into custody
in land fraud cases which have nofc
yet been submitted to the grand
jury.
It is alleged that the fraudulent
entries made by Maynard and
Porter were for the Maverick
Loan and Trust , company , a cor
poration in which Chancellor Hun-
ington of Wesleyan university ,
Lincoln , has an interest. He em
phatically states , however , that he
does not own a foot of land in
western Nebraska , although his
son , Thomas M. Huntington , stat-
d in an interview several weeks
ago that his father was interested
in the trust company to the amount
of $1,500.
Another banker recently held to
the grand jury upon a charge of
subornation of perjury is H. C.
Dale of Rushville. He is cashier
of the Stockmen's bank of that
town.
Among the eleven other arrests
which have been caused through
secret service investigation is that
ef J. M. Tucker , county attorney
of Cherry county. The charge against -
gainst him is subornation of
perjury.
Against some of the men three
charges have been preferred.
There is J. C. Pettijohn , for in
stance , receiver at the Valentine
land office , who was summarily re
moved from duty by an order from
the president. The complaint against -
gainst him and his brother , Carleton -
ton Pettijohn , alleges that they
unlawfully inclosed the public do
main ; they suborned men to swear
falsely when filing upon land and
that they entered into a conspiracy
to defraud the government by
means of fictitious homestead en
tries.
Another government employee
was arrested for alleged complicity
in the land frauds. That person
is William C. Smoot , government
farmer on the Pine Ridge reserva
tion. Subornation of perjury is
the charge against him.
Thus far three men have been
arrested in connection with the
transactions of Barilett Richards
and William G. Corns took , the two
wealthiest and best known c-Ule
barons of Nebraska. One of this
trio is Charles C. Jamison , secre
tary and treasurer of the Nebraska
Land and Feeding company , of
which Richards is president and
Comstock is vice president. The
charge against Jamison is subor
nation of pur jury.
Secret service men were unable
to get any statement from him ,
but they succeeded better after
the arrest of Amid B. Todd , who
was taken into custody early in
the winter. His affidavit has not
yet been made public , but it is in
timated that he tells of many in
stances wherein he went to Iowa
and secured a great number of old
soldiers and soldiers' widows to
file for Richards and Comstock.
Edward Letson , son of the may
or of Horton , Kan. , was another
to be arrested in connection with
the Richards-Comstock tronsact-
