Solved Hosklna Robbery.
The horse Htolon from K. O. Hoh-
mor of Hosklns IIIIH boon discovered ,
an alleged horse tlilof captured anil
S ho rift ItauniMii of Fremont placed In
u position to probably recolvo $575
for the captviro.
Mr. Hohmer rotlo out of Norfolk
Friday morning on the stolen horse
which hiul jimt boon recovered at
Fremont. Ho brought the horse from
Fremont on the morning freight and
after stopping In this city for a few
minutes , loft for his farm a inllo north
of llosklns.
Sheriff Dauman Made the Catch.
Sheriff Hnunian of Fremont , who
matlo the "catch" and who will re
ceive $500 If the thief Is convicted
and $25 for the recovery or the marc ,
la well known In north Nebraska as
one of the most successful sheriffs In
the state. Ho has frequently been In
Norfolk on business.
Shortly after Hav.man had been noti
fied of the $575 reward a man rode a
mare Into Scott Wall's livery barn In
Fremont and tried to sell It to a Mr.
Franklo of the firm of Hllltkor &
Frnnklo. Mr. Haumnn Immediately
got a "tip" and went over to the barn.
Ho found that the horse corresponded
with the description furnished In the
circular.
Sheriff Bauman arrested the pos
sessor ot the horse , who gave the
name of F. II. Wnllls and said that he
lived at Sixteenth and Webster
streets In Omaha and that ho was
married. He declared the arrest to be
an outrage and claimed that , ho traded
n pair ofponies for the nmre last
spring.
Claimed to Have Lived in O'Neill.
Wnlllg claimed to Imvo lived for
two years on a farm six miles west
of O'Neill and to have known many
people In that town. He gave the
mime of the man for whom he claimed
to have worked while there but could
not spell the name. He did not know
who the sheriff of Holt county was
and could not give the names of his
numerous acquaintances In O'Neill.
Mears After Man.
Sheriff Mears of Wayne county was
notified of the nrrost and went to Fre
mont at once for the man.
Horse Fighters Effective.
Mr. Behmer belongs to the North
Nebraska Live Stock Protective as-
slcoation , nn organization whose
members are carefully avoided by
horse grabbers. The association in
addition to the big reward offered
advertised the thelft quickly and
widely.
Of the big reward , probably the
largest ever offered In Nebraska for
the capture of a horse thief , $500 was
offered by the anti-horso thief asso
ciation and $50 by Sheriff Mears for
\ the arrest and conviction of the thief
and $25 for Information leading to the
recovery of the mare.
This Is the first time that a man ,
who was actually a member of the
horse thief lighters , has ever been
molested.

CITY OF SEVERAL THOUSAND
POPULATION WILL ARISE.
CATTLE MEN MUST MOVE WEST
t
Within Four Years the Raw Prairie
In Trlpp County of Today Will Be
a Garden Spot Such as Gregory
County Is Now Activity In the Air.
Dallas and Gregory , the two towns
on the Rosebud reservation which
have bcccn selected ns registration
points for the Trlpp county opening ,
will begin this very day to hum with
lively activity In preparation for the
forthcoming land rush.
Tents Will Spring Up.
As In the days of the Gregory coun
ty rush , touts will spring up nnd a
white city of cnnvns will picturesque
ly dot the prairie.
Every other building In Dallas and
Gregory and Valentine and O'Neill
will have n broad white sign , "Notary , "
In front of It.
There will bo a hundred nnd ono
new sorts of enterprises that you
never heard of before.
During the Bonostoel rush John
Twojohns , an Indian , made big money
In carrying people out on the reserva
tion In an automobile.
During that rush Captain Carroll ,
now of Dallas but then ferryman at
Wheeler , took In $150 a day carrying
people across the river , headed for
Bonostoel to register.
jThe registration point at O'Neill nnd
Valentino will help northern Ne
braska and will give opportunity to
see Meyer county lands , to the west
of Trlpp. Meyer county will be the
next portion of the Rosebud to be
thrown open to settlement.
Gregory and Dallas Crowded Now.
Gregory and Dallas arc crowded to
the guards with people right now whc
have been living In anticipation of this
opening. Many of them drew home
steads In the Giegory county rush and
are conducting business enterprises
now. Some have come In to do busi
ness during the rush and to draw
homesteads or buy relinqulshments.
A rollnquishment Is worth a couple
hundred dollars.
Four Years From Now.
Four years from now Trlpp county ,
today a virgin prairie , will bo as pret
ty an agricultural a region as Is pic
turesque Gregory county today. These
million acres of land will be dotted
with comfortable houses , big barns
bursting with grain , and thoroughbred
live stock just as one may see today
In Gregory county.
When one sees in Gregory county
what has boon done to a prairie which
never left the plow's steel blade until
four summers ago , It taxes the Im
agination of man to picture what that
country Gregory and the new Tripp
will be four years from today.
Great for Norfolk.
The opening of that million acres
of land will develop 5,000 new farms
and a number of new towns In terrl
tory directly and exclusively trlbu
tary to Norfolk. The only rallroat
leading into that section runs from
Norfolk.
What that may be made to moan
to Norfolk , commercially , only Nor
folk business Interests may decide.
New Towns Will Spring Up.
Now towns will spring up out In
Tripp county where the unplowed see
'supports beef on the hoof today
Towns they will be , too , just sucl
towns ns arc those live ones as are
those wonderful new towns In Greg
ory county today Gregory and Dal
las and Herrick and Burke.
White Man Already Invading.
Already , in fact , the white man is
Invading Trlpp county. The new
towns of WInona and Lamro have been
established there. Others will follow
quickly.
And the farmer Is there. Away down
near the Keya Paha river , thirty miles
from Dallas , white farmers are al
ready building big farm houses ant
big barns and it looks , In spots , al
ready Jlke a settled country. Inclden
tally , there Is spdng water In spots
that is delightful.
Range Cattle Must Get Off.
The president's proclamation , Is
sued yesterday , is another grave slg
nal to the cat'tloman and ranchman to
move further westward , to crowd in
closer and closer toward the westeri
edse of the frontier.
The cattle ranch must bo eraset
from the map to mnko room for
agricultural Implements.
"Five years more will end the cat
tie business on a big scale forever , '
paid Jack Whlpplo to a News man
out in Meyer county a year ago
"Wo'ro being crowded pff the map
and we know it. This Is good farm
land but a rancher doesn't like to
farm. We've got to saw wood the nex
live years. "
Many Will Move On.
Many people , now living in Gregor >
county will take first opportunity to
move Into Trlpp. Like the prairie
chickens , they love the frontier. The >
hate civilization. They shy at auto
mobiles and locomotive whistles.
But the locomotive whistle Is head
ed \n \ toward Trlpp county , South Da
kot'a , today.
Is Deserving of Recognition.

CARPENTERS BUSY AT GREGORY
AND DALLAS NOW.
EXTRA TRAIN SERVICE SOON
t Is Said That Plnkerton Detectives
Have Been Employed to Watch
Crooks and Thugs During the Rush.
Hotels Going Up.
The city of Gregory , nnd the bnl-
nce of the Rosebud country , Is up
n Its tees making rapid preparation
or the forthcoming Trlpp county land
ush , according to C. D. Haskell , a
Gregory banker who was In Norfolk
csterday.
Mr. Haskell says that Gregory is
growing rapidly and that It expects to
ake care of a good big portion of the
ush. "Gregory is the metropolis of
he Rosebud , " residents of that city
lolnt out , "and , being only four miles
rein the edge of the Trlpp county
hie , will undoubtedly receive a big
share of the landseekcrs. "
Dallas Making Ready.
Word from Dallas has it that thai
hrlvlng yearling town Is In a state ol
excitement over the coming rush. It
s said that every available carpentei
vns hired In advance of the proclama
ion , conditionally upon Its issuance
uid more were wired for. More lum
) er will be rushed Into that sectlor
mmedlately , It Is said.
Two new hotels are being starlet
and additions built to the already com
nodlous Hotel Dallas and. the St. Ed
wards , according to report.
Plnkertons to Handle Thugs.
"Every possible precaution Is being
taken for the handling of crooks and
thugs and live Plnkerton men have
been secured for the registration pe
riod , " says a letter from Dallas.
Judge Whltten Is expected to reach
: he Rosebud country next week , about
September 5 , and Is reported to have
arranged for headquarters buildings at
Dallas and Gregory.
Dallas has made arrangements to
extend its system of street lights over
larger territory. The Northwestern
railroad is making preparations at
Gregory aul Dallas for the rush. People
plo are buying lots and starting build
Ings in the hope of finishing them be
fore October 1.
Special Trains Start Soon
Already passenger traffic has In
creased very perceptibly through Nor
folk to the reservation country and it
it Is expected that within a couple o
weeks extra trains will have to bo
put on to carry the crowds.
There is every reason to expect thai
the rush this year will be greater than
that of four years ago for Gregory
lands. The preliminary rush shows
that there has been greater Interos
in this opening than in any reserva
tion opening before in any part of the
nation.
RALPH LUIKART MISSED WRECK
A Few Seconds Kept Him Off III Fated
Way Car.
By a margin of a few seconds Ralpl
Lulkart , returning to Norfolk from a
summer vacation spent on the Bel
ranch near Lusk , Wyo. , missed being
on the stock train caboose into which
an engine plowed Sunday morning
near Kllgore.
Waiting for the Lander passenge
he was offered a free pass with the
third stock train by the sheep fore
man who did not have his full quota
of men. Only a few seconds were lof
and before Lulkart could check his
baggage the train pulled out of the
depot. The foreman was ono of the
men killed. Every occupant of the
way car was cither killed or Injured
Early Sunday morning the Dead
wood passenger in which Ralph Lul
kart was riding was halted as i
pulled out of Cody by news of the
wreck ahead. The passenger waltei
nt Cody until S a. m. , when it drew up
to the scene of the wreck. There
Lulkart saw the scattered remnants
of the car In which ho would have
ridden.
Elmer Hardy , -Charles Landers and
Ralph Lulkart have spent the summer
on the Tom Bell ranch. All three
will probably be state university stu
dents this fall.
DEMOCRATS FOR TAFT.
North State Country Is for Taft Says
Traveling Man.
Lincoln , Aug. 29. "If Bryan carries
Nebraska ho will have lo get his votes
In the towns. He cannot get the far
mer votes. "
This statement was made by Cam
Wallett , a traveling man who has
been making Nebraska territory for
twenty-eight years. Ho lives at Os-
kaloosa , la.
"Bryan cannot got the town vote , "
continued Mr. Wallett. 'T don't make

"At Fremont the sonilment Is largo-
y in favor of Taft and I found many

I'aft. It was the snmo nt Winner
IiiHt us an example of how the wind
s blowing : At Fremont In front of

ither Taft knives. Only about half

U Sioux Falls a man has the same
irrangemcnts , only he Is selling Tnft

oiling Taft fobs.
"After a careful Investigation of the
lolltlcul conditions In all the towns I
nake , It Is my opinion Mr. Bryan will
ese Nebraska by a much heavier vote
han he did eight years ago. "
In discussing Iowa towns , Mr. Wnl-
ott said : "Iowa Is badly split In
stnto affairs , but Just the same Taft
s going to carry the state by a mn-
orlty of from 40,000 to 50,000. Both
factions of the party are for Taft. The
nan who says Bryan has a chance to
carry Iowa does not know anything
of the conditions over there. He abso-
utoly has no chance. "
