A Uulibcts' C vo In Sarpy ,
A c.avo or deserted dugout hns boon
titacaverod noer the M. P. track in Sarpy
county , four miles from Springfield add
one mile from tha lonuvlllo bridge. The
Spiingfiold Monitor aays the cave was
accidontly discovered by Joseph Drlskoll ,
who happened to bo walking along the
railroad , and saw a man's tracks leading
np to the ontrancawhich was cleverly
hidden by being filled with hay. Ho
further discovered the existence of a
steve pipu just coming to the top of the
ground , and covered with a chunk of
dirt. Further than this ho did not ap
pear to bo anxious to Investigate , but Im
parted hii information to others , and It
reached tbo oars of E G. Sshaal , who in
formed Constable Liddlard and those
two , accompanied by J. U. .Nicholson ,
proceeded to the seat of dis
covery and proceeded to in
vestigate , and wore rewarded
for their trouble by the discovery of a
cayo. Raraovlng tha hay that had bean
skilfully prepared to conceal the en *
trance , a fnwil passageway just lar o
cnongb to admit of a man crawling
through was revealed to thorn. Entering
the secret departments of this dungeon
through the hole thus exposed , the In-
tailor was found to bo about o'ght feet
tquare , and just high enough to admit of
sitting do im comfortably , and not high
enough to maintain a standing pcsltion.
The furniture was found to consist of a
hay bid and n cook stove.
By whom or for what purpose such
resort should bo prepared Is a mystery ,
except on the hypothes'a ' that It WAS _ in
tended as a hiding place to bo inhabited
by despeiadocs , and its fortunate dis
covery and breaking np may have the
effect of preventing the consummation ol
tome deep-laid plot and possibly the com
mission of crime most foul.

V.Allyn , foreman of the Brighton rasche
company , commenced his usual sprirg
campaign earlier than common , by nrrctt
{ ng the settlers in bis pasture ( who he
has nearly starved out ) on tbo charge of
killing cattle. A few days after an article
appeared in the Omaha Republlcaneigned
by Benjamin Brisbane. This inconaod
Allyn and he hunted np Brisbane armed
to the teeth , hi ) rilU In his saddle , a gun
stripped around him , and a buggy whip
In his hand , and after calling him n few
hard names , told him that if ho wrote
again , ho would wear tbat whip out on
him. Now Brisbane was formerly ono
of Lord Red Hold's pets Ho has
thrown a fence around him and paid him
thirty-five cents a bushel damage for his
corn , whereas other settlers had to take
shy damages.
Spring in here , and the settler * in the
pasture want ti commence farming , bul
are afraid to. Muct it bo the old story i
Does the government intend to lot these
settlers still suffer for the
crime of taking a homo
on Undo Sam's ' broad domain ,
The Brighton Banch company clilmt
to have fenced out all the settlers , thai
fence is invisible to the naked cyo.
The Brighton Ranch company claims
to be a benefit fro.ru the fact that they
buy a few thousand bushels of grain. It
ia a well known fact that any common
stock feoderj In the eintern part of the
state will consume more grain than the
Brighton Rinch company.
Some of the settlers ate actually suffer

fortunate enough to raisa a small crop
outside the pasture ) , that ho and hi
family had lived on corn bread an <
beats all winter , and to diy ho and hi
family nro nearly barefooted.

An amusing story was told a BEE re
porter to-day by a , Colorado gentleman
just returning from New Oilcans. "You
know Captain Stanley , of course , " said
the gentleman , "everybody does who
ever heard of cavalry exploits along the
Rappahanncck or climbed the Sierra

was selected for the captain , and Galvin
concluded to take something similar to

bill amounted to about $300 , for which
Galvin offered hi * check oa a Now Or

THE "BACKBONE , "
Secretary Teller's ' CUHKO Relate lo
Tbat Grant ,
Hcimtor Van AVyok'a ItcRolntloii nnd
Speech.
Washington Special to St. Louis Globe-Dem
ocrat ,
Senator Van Wjck's racolntion in re
gard to the backbone land grant patents
craated quito a stir. Iu epaaklng of the
roiolulion this evening the senator eatd :
"It cannot bo claimed that the Interests
of legislation might suffer through delay.
Just look nt it. The Now Orleans , Ba
ton Rouge & Vicksburg railroad com
pany obligated ilsc'f ' ta finish the railroad
in five years. Under the terms of
the grant it wni to have boon
finished by 1870. When that
time rolled aiound not a rod
of the road was bujlt. Thn line was not
even definitely located , but the company
had Usucd millions of bonda based upcn
the lands granted to it. Five years moro
elapsed and the company took no step
toward building the toad. Still not a
rod of line was constructed. Befcra
that time , however , the Now Orleans &
Pacific lallroad company was organtzad.
The company come before congress and
{ misted that the grant nf the New Or
leans , Baton Rouge and Vicksburg road
should bo forfo'ted and transferred to it.
Congress was willing to make the for
feiture , but would not asssnt ti the
transfer ; that is' , tbo public
lands committee of the house
was unanimously In favor of such
action. Then the Now Orleans and Pa
cific proclaimed that it would build its
road without any land grant , and It did
go on to build In order to make a connec
tion with the Southern Paslfic to the
gulf. Subsequently , however , the com
pany adopted the tactics which they at
tempted to consummate with the Texas
Pacific , that is , they tried to force an as
signment of a dead grant , hoping to have
it legallzad either by the affirmative ac
tion of congress or a refusal to forfeit
the original land grant. The giant was
transferred from tno old corporation to
the now , but not until ths la'.ter hid con
structed a portion of its road. The
old road during ten -years had
not oven made a defu.ito loca
tion cf its lino. In the Forty-
eighth congress , just adjourned , ef
forts were made to perfect the grant.
Thehoiuo public hnds committee report ,
ed infavcrof forfeiture , but leglslatve
trickery , inspired by a prominent demo
cratic politician , obtained from the judi
ciary committee of the house an opinion
if the forfeiture If dec'arec. would not bo
legal. The senate public lands committee -
too reported a bill forteiting a part ol
the grant , bat the short session and press
of business prevented action upon it. As
the session waa drawing near an end , and
fearing an attempt to secure patents for
the lands , a majority of the public lands
committees of both houses joined In
a protest to the secretary of the interior
aganst ; any such action , This protest , or
request , for that is what it was , waa not
unreasonable , as the corporation had for
tan years done nothing to eara the grant ,
and a few months delay in the Intereel
of the public domain , In the interest c :
the people , was not unreasonable. This
CESS was tbat of the Southern and Texas
Pacific over again. When the Southern
and Texas Pacific wore roidy the former
did all In its power to have the grant ol
the Texas Pacific forfeited , but finally
the Southern Pacific got the prant irans
foriod to it , and then the corporation
maintained that tbo grant was vetoed
But Congress declared the Tex IB
Pacific grant forfeited , and it
truth there are batter and legal
grounds for tbo forfolturo oi
tbo backbone prant , as that of the Now
Orleans , Baton Rouge it Pacific Is called ,
than for the Texas Pacific grant. It was
au outrage to Uka the settlement cf this
question oat of .tho hands of congress.
Clerks of the Interior department were
kept at work night and day , and oven on
Sunday , for the purpose of getting their
patents ready to Itsuo before tbo late ai
minlttrat'on ' went out. If there Is any
explanation that can bo made for such
course , I want to hear It , I want the
country to h&va it. The Und had been
kept from the market for fifteen years
and no hara could como from permittin )
it to rcnuln so a while longer. As It la
700,000 acres of land have boon turnst
over to this corporation in the faca of tb
emphat'o ' proteat of the public lands com
mlttecs of congress. "
Senator Van \Vjck charac'oiizcd tie
coursa of thi iatoiur department in thi
matter in strong language. Ho cm no
cane ive , he says , cf any reaaon for th
undue haste shown to iwuo the patent )
that if , of any reason wbieh would koap
the public interests in vlow.

atgumei.t f r the petition and spoke but a
little while , when the court adjourned till
Monday. Oattell only asks in hia motion for
temporary mandamus. It is thought that all
of Monday will bo corsumed In arguments
and that tha decision of the court will
not be reached until Tueaday. Friends
of Brown issued a call yesterday for an In
dignation meeting to be held to-night to
sustain Brown , nnd denounce the action of
the governor Jn euspendlng him , nnd their
other cfFoita all day to-day secured a large at

manded the passage of resolutions denounc
ing Governor Sherman and supporting Brown.
Other speeches were made by citirens called
out by the meeting , in which the merits of the
case were stated without championship ol
either aide , with the result that the meeting
reached the conclusion that it was best to leave
the matter to the courts , and not to risk to in
iluence the courts , or forestall'public opinion.
Brown's trleiida are much disappo nted at the
result of the meeting.
