Plot to Dispose of Land
in Niobrara Reservation.
Indianapolis , Ind. , May 23. An
alleged plot to dispose of the land
in the United States military reser
vation at Fort Niobrara. Neb. , by
means of false deeds and abstracts
and mythical names and characters
was exposed this afternoon when
four real estate dealers were arrest
ed by federal oilicers. 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. The men arrested ap
peared before United States Court
Commissioner Morres this after
noon who granted a continuance
until June 1. World-Herald.

'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

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

so two congregational hymns.
After the service was concluded ,
members and friends expressed
thejr congratulations and good
wishes to the pastor and his wife ,
