Half" Kelly for Bank Robbery.
Sioux City , la. , May 22. The smal
safe of the Wlnnebago State bank a

traced to the door of Sioux City. A
a rain had fallen during the night th
Imprint of the wheels of the carrlag
UKPd by the burglars was followed ai
easily as would have been footprint
In a fresh fall of snow.
As a result of the Investigation of

WAS SQUIRES WISE.
Fight Fans Asking Each Other Why
"Bill" Did Not Attend.
San Francisco. May 22. Was Billy
Squires , the Australian pug , wise to
the O'Brlen-Riirns deal ? This Is a
question fight fans are now asking
each other.
It seems strange that Boshtor Bill
did not think the O'Brien-Burns battle
worthy of any attention. Ho was but
a short distance from Los Angeles for
several weeks previous to the fight
He hod every chance In the world to ;
be present. But ho stayed away.
Squires knew that he was to fight
the winner of the battle. Ho had
never seen either of the men In action
By witnessing the fight ho could have
prepared a plan of battle to bo pur
sued In his own fight with one of the
men.
men.Tho
The O'Brien-Burns fight was sup
posed to be one of the most Important
In the history of the ring. And Bosh
ter Bill , the man who came to this
country to clean up nil our heavy
weights , passed up the battle alto
gether.
Billy Nolan Is a schemer. Jacl :
O'Brien Is Just nl > out his equal. Toe
bad If the Australian Is to be taker
in by them. O'Brien expected to be
the flrst man to meet Squires , am
Tommy Burns was to sacrifice him
self so that Jack could realize Mi
ambition.
"With Burns out of the way , O'Brler
nnd Squires would have been the
whole show In the pugilistic arena
They could have commanded a bit |
puist- and would no doubt have nt-
tuHul an Immense crowd.

SENATOR GAMBLE LOOKS FOR
OPENING THIS FALL.
IS UP TO ALLOTTING AGENT
Senator Gamble Says He Urged Gen
era ! Land Office to Rush Things and
It All Depends Upon Activity of Allotting
letting Agent at Dallas.
Whether or not Trlpp county wll
be thrown open to settlement this
year depends upon the activity of the
allotting agent who Is now at Dallas
according to Senator Gamble of Soutl
Dakota.
The Ilerrlck Press mcanwhlli
claims positively and absolutely tha
thq letter recently published In its
columns , and signed by the asslstnn
commissioner of public lands at Wash'
Ington , In which It Is stated "the open
Ing can not bo held this year , " settle
the question. The Ilerrlck paper ml
vises reservation farmers to go 01
planting corn this summer and prepare
pare for the opening next year , A re
cunt report from Bonesteel In Th
News , on the other hand , rather leane
to the view that the opening might
after nil , bo held this yei\r.
Limit For Transfers is Up.
One feature which tends to lend
weight to the view of Senator Gamble
Is the fact that last Monday marked
the time limit allowed to the Indians
for exchanging their allotments In
, other counties and securing Trlpp
county lands. All that remains to bo
done now , It Is said , is for the allot
ments In Trlpp county to bo made.
Whenever the lands are thrown
open , there will be activity in this
section. Tens and scores of thousands
of persons will pass through Norfolk
. to look at the reservation and to reg
ister. Special trains will bo run by
the dozen to carry the crowds.
, Following Is n Sioux City report
quoting Senator Gamble on the mat
ter :
. Sioux City , la. , May 22. United
States Senator Robert J. Gamble , who
. was In Sioux City yesterday , said the
. probability that the lands In Tripp
county , on the Rosebud Indian reser
vation , would bo opened this year ,
was strong.
The senator said there was little
chance that the opening could bo ar
ranged to take place before Septem
ber , but ho thought It would attract
a larger crowd than nny previous
opening of government land for set-
tlement. Thousands and thousands of
I people will pass through Sioux City
lyjnnd Omaha on their way to the rescr-
| vatlon.
Senator Gamble said ho had person-
ally taken up this matter with the
commissioner of the general land of-
lice and the commissioner of Indian
affairs before he left Washington and
had urged speedy action on their part
r to the end that the strip might bo
. opened this year.
Up to Allotlng Agent.
"I am pleased to report , " Senator
Gamble said , "that the two commls-
sloners have acted promptly and have
. dispatched an allotting agent to the
strip. This allotting agent now Is on
rtho ground , and r might say that
whether or not the strip shall bo
opened this fall depends upon his ac-
. tlvlty. "
By way of explanation Senator Gam-
hbio said that something like 400 allot-
mcnts for minor Indians of the Rose-
ybud tribe are permitted to bo made
oand these beneficiaries may take their
land In Trlpp county If they shall so
elect.
mi Authority also Is given to adult In-
J dlans to change the allotments they
now have , and , undoubtedly , according
to the view of Senator Gamble , a
nnumber of these Indians will exorcise
this right and take up land either in
i Trlpp or Meyer counties.
n' ' The amount of laud which will be >
loft open to settlement , Senator Gam
. bio said , will be lu the neighborhood
of 800,000 acres.
HOLT COUNTY HOMESTEAD MATTER -
TER OF LITIGATION.
DATES BACK TO SCOTT TRAGEDY
Former State Treasurer Jo Dortley ,
Who Served Time In Penitentiary
for Embezzlement , Had a Claim In
Atkinson Township Did He Aban
don It ?
Lincoln , Nob. , May 21. On the
uestlon whether or not former State
reasurer Joseph 8. Hartley nban-
otiod his homestead In Holt county
t'hllo he was serving In that office and ,
it or , during the enforced period of
Is absence while In the state pcnlten
nry , hinges the outcome of a suit
rought by Hugh A. Allen against
loll county and the state of Nebras-
a , now before the supreme court. In
10 district court of Holt county , judg-
tent was rendered against Allen , to
horn Hartley convoyed his mippbsed
tie to the land In 1901. The tract
ad previously been sold by the slier
ff In part satisfaction of civil judg
tents that were pronounced against
ie defaulting treasurer.
It/ appears from the record that
lartley was a bondsman of Barrett
cott , who was lynched. On that ac
omit , Hartley was held responsible
> the extent of $025. In 1898 , while
lartley was In the penitentiary , the
mil now In litigation was taken over
iy Holt county on a sheriff's deed ,
'ho state lu the meanwhile had oh-
allied a judgment against Hartley for
ver $300,000 , but no part of that
mount was realized through the sale
if this land. Nevertheless , the state
s made n defendant In the present ac-
Ion because the judgment might be
omo a lien on the property If the
loll county proceedings should bo set
islde.
It Is Allen's contention that Bartloy
lever ceased to reside upon his home
ftoad , In law , but that he remained
iwny from It only because his duties
is state treasurer compelled him to
; lo so nnd , after his conviction for cm
lezzlemenl , through the fact of his
lenal detention. The plaintiff claims
hat for this reason the homesteat ;
rights of Hartley were never forfeited
and that the county could not levy
ipon the land because It was a home
stead.

Mr. Graul says that the city will have
to get water from the Northfork with
which to flush the sewer if the system
Is to be operated most successfully.

N W TRANSPORTATION IDEA
Des Molnes Men Propose Automobile
Line to Operate on Cement Road.
Des Molnes , May 20. Arrangements
have been completed for the building
and equipment of an automobile rail
road in Ok'ahoma , and it is given ou
that within a short time announce
. ment will be made of the building o
one of the lines in Iowa , arrangements
to that end being now all but com
pleted. During the last session of the
. legislature a bill was enacted puttlnt
automobile railroads on a par with
Interurbans and other lines and au
thorizlug them to do business in Iowa
Since then the idea uf the system
has spread , and according to presen
indications Des Molnes will be a cen
, tcr for manufacturing the automobile
cars. The Automobile Railway and
Car company has been organized , witL
\V. 3. Goodell of this city as preslden
and II. G. Cue , the Inventor of the
Idea , as secretary and manager.
The Idea of the inventor Is to pro
vide cheap transportation. The rail
roads will bo built with a ccmcn
track and the automobile cars will b
.
so constructed as to provide quick ,
Jj
cheap service. There will be no ex
pensive power plants or trolley wire
and poles. Arrangements are being
carried forward 'to put the line In op
eratlon between Oelweln and som
of the cities .surrounding It. The sys
tem appeals because of its cheap con
nD
Etruction , since it can be built fo
about one-third what It costs to bull
<
an ordinary Interurban Hue.

MADE FOR RELEASE.
TRIAL NOT LIKELY TILL FALL

vening of district court at Madison
this week and with the summoning of
the district court jury next Monday an
effort will bo madeto liavo Herman
Bochc , charged with the murder of
Frank Jarmor , released on bond. It
Is not thought that the case will bo
ready for trial before the fall term of
the district court and that meanwhile
nn effort will bo made to secure Bo-
cho'H temporary release from the con
fines of the Madison county jail.
Bochc stands charged by the state
with murder In the first degree and
to secure his release on ball It Is re
ported that his attorney will start
habeas corpus proceedings In nn ef
fort to show Judge A. A. Welch that
Boche'u offense docs not fall under
first degree murder but that It admits
of ball.
