An alleged plot to dispose of the land in the United States military reser vation at Fort Niobrara.

The men arrested are Edward F. Kesler , George T. Voorhees , T-imes N. New- by and Perry P. Cai r The specific charges against the men are that they used the mails to defraud and entered into a conspiracy to defraud by ] the use of the mails. Some of the tracts of laud sold by the men , it is alleged , have been soU twice. One man bought 160 acres on which the buildings of the military post are situated. In most cases , it is alleged , it was represented that the Nebraska land was owned by a man named C. Hastings Reid of Polk county , Iowa. In other instances the owner was represented to be Thomas L. Thomas of Polk county , Iowa. It is said there are no such men. The Fort Niobrara reservation consists of four townships and it is alleged that nearly 6,000 acres have been sold in a fraudulent manner. The alleged fraudulent sale of the lands came to the attention of the authorities when some of the deeds and abstracts were sent to be recorded.

Rob ert Beale occurred Monday evening - , ning , May 1 $ , in the Presbyterian j church of Valentine , making him j regular pastor of that church. J A committee of three ministers , j clothed with the authority of the ; Presbytery of - Box Butte , con ducted the service. Rev. Edgar Clark , pastor of the Presbyterian church of Gordon and a former pastor of the Valen tine church , presided and conduct ed the ceremony of covenanting pastor and congregation. Rev. Thomas Price , pastor of the Presbyterian church of Rush- ville , delivered the charge to the pastor , and Rev. Samuel Light , pastor of the Prebyterian church of Stuart , delivered the charge to the congregation. 'There was a goodly attendance and all present were repaid by the efficient and interesting manner in which the service was conducted. Contributing also to the interestingness - ingness and helpfulness of the oc casion was the baptism of baby Elizabeth , daughter of the pastor and Mrs. Beale. This was ad ministered by Rev. Light , the eld est of the visiting ministers , Rev. Beale choosing that time and place to exemplify the desirability and duty of parents presenting their children for baptism in the church whenever at all possible. Just preceding the baptismal service , the children's choir very appropriately and beautifully sang ' 'Suffer the Children , " and later sang "The Children's Army Song. " There was an anthem rendered enjoyably by the regular choir , who al.so sang the hymn en- tilled , "He That GoeUi Forth With "Weeping. " There were al so two congregational hymns. After the service was concluded , members and friends expressed thejr congratulations and good wishes to the pastor and his wife , earnestly desirous that this pastor al relationship , one 'of the most sacred of earthly relationships , should be divinely blessed during its continuance , and that it should be broken only under the divine guidance and direction.
