Special Government Counsel
Rush Tells of His Work.
1,500,000 , , ACHES RESTORED.
Vast Tract Is Saved for Uses of Farm
er Results of the Government's
Campaign Against Cattlemen for Il
legal Fencing of Public Domain.
Omaha , Feb. 20. One of the results
of the persistent prosecutions of the
cattlemen who have maintained illegal
fences on public domain in Nebraska
has been the restoration to uses of ag
riculture of more than 1,500,000 fertile
acres. It is also true that in the sec
tion where theae lands are located
Nebraska made its only growth out
side of the large cities during the last
. decade. These facts are made clear
by Sylvester R. Rush , who has been
employed by the government as spe
cial counsel to look after the prosecu
tion of these land cases. In talking of
his work , Mr. Rush said :
"The territory comprised in the
counties west of the 100th meridian in
this state , which crosses the state
.north and south about eighty-five-
miles wast of Grand Island and thirty-
five miles east of North Platte , has
been persistently classed as a part of
the Great American desert , and wholly
rnifit for agricultural -purposes. "In
1879 congress appointed a committee
to take testimony on the advisability
of condemning these lands and selling
them to the highest bidder. The great
grazing interests that at that time had
taken possession of them , gave lurid
testimony that these lands were unfit
for any other purpose save grazing ,
and should be devoted exclusively to
that end. The then governor of Ne
braska objected to this disposition of
these lands , and appointed two scien
tific gentlemen to investigate this- pro
posed sale , and they reported in 1879
and 1880 as follows : 'The annihila
tion therefore of 500,000,000 to 800-
000,000 acres of these vast fertile
acres that are surely changing their
dry character to answer the farmers'
various uses and demands and by
law , naming them as vast pastures or
commons , when they could in the near
future , be fruitful farms this would
be a fearful robbery and those who
are conspirators in the attempt should
receive public execration. '
"The scheme to auction off these
lands was defeated and the struggle
for the possession and control of them
has been going on with varying inten
sity ever since. In 1904 and 1905
prosecutions against a large number
of persons were instituted , charging
the unlawful enclosure of public lands
and a conspiracy to defraud the gov
ernment of the title. These prosecu
tions resulted in a conviction of the of
fenders. The government also at the
Game time instituted suits in equity
under the same act of congress passed
in 1885 , compelling the offenders to
remove their fences , and decrees were
obtained involving the destruction of
unlawful enclosure of , about 1,500,000
acres. These prosecutions and civil
actions have been more. effective in
opening up this country and set'ding
the controversy between the grazing
interests and the homesteader , than
the employment of the military ; and
the wonderful development that has
taken place in this country has oc-i
curred largely since' the commence
ment oi thes prosfecution's" "

PROTEST ON TRAIN SERVICE
Ncbrasksns Di-ie ! ! ts Ride on Crowd
ed Black Hills Passenger.
Ncligh , Neb. , Feb. 22. An injuno
.tlon has been secured by M. F. Har
rington of O'N-eill against the North
western railway taking of ? passenger
No. 8 , vrhich runs east from Long Pine
to Omaha in the afternoon and makes
the return trip in' the late afternoon
and evening , just ahead of the Black
Hills passenger. The purpose or the
corapr.ny vvn tc let it run to Norfolk ,
but no farther west. The railway com
mission on application granted per
mission to the railway company , bat
without giving the nople west of
Norfolk a chance to plead their case.
A petition was circulated several
days ago among the citizens of this
place protesting against the new order
and was sent to the railway commis
sion. Similar action was -taken by
other towns along the line.
The passenger going v/3st can hard
ly be dispensed with because it v/ould
lead to a crowding of the Black Hills
train , in the same manner as a few
years ago , when standing room was
hardly to be secured.

Martin has filed a brief for a new

court held that the village could not

commission had ordered one put in.
The attorney general says the decision
ought to he modified because it denies
