The Operations of the Allen Cow Men in Cnstcr County , Vast Arena of Land Fenced lit and "lIoincstOMlcd" bv Fictitious Farmers A. 1'lainSUtc- inoiit ot F ctn. Cutter County Leader , In the Omaha Republican of May 3d , pppaara what purports to ba a statement of facts In connection with the management - mont of the Brighton Ranch company of this county , nnd also of the shooting of Province , which Is evidently wtiltcn and published for the purposeof forming an opinion unfavorable to the settlers of Cas tor county In advance of nny judicial de cisions , olthor in the United States or District courts. The article In quottlon la Identical In spirit wittVanothcr pub lished In the Omaha Herald of the same dnto , nnd evidently the two articles were gathered from the mruo eourco. Those Reticles ro misstatements of factj and a reflection upon the citizens of Custor countdonbtloia , publlahod In or der to create a false Impression of affairs and It tint manner to create public sym pathy antagonistic to law nnd justice. It Is a bard mnttpr to rest under the impli cation that ninety-five per cent of the citizens cf of this county are parties to Injustice and the originators of falsehoods In regard to matters that have become of nation * ) notoriety , and the Leader , beIng - Ing Identified as a part and parcel of the great majority upon whom these nspor- sloDH are cast , feels it a duty it owes to Cutter county's ' citizens to brand the extract - tract aa n falsehood , nnd ouo that is easily proven ao. The Brighton company whoa it bnllt its fence in thla county circulated a peti tion through a portion of country con tiguous to the territories which it had enclosed - closed , praying the genetnl government to allow the fence to remain. The peti tion cot forth that the land in question wns unfit for agriculture. A number of the clUzjna of this county signed the petition , presuming It was only the lough land ndjolnlng the ranch that were to be fenced. As teen as the patltion was secured the company proceeded to fence In not only the 10,000 acres of mi- tillable lands but 40,000 additional acroa , a large portion of which waa as fine agri cultural lands ta can be found in the atato. This was and ia considered n grogs breach of trust towards the people on the part of the company , and resulted in the visit of a epccial agent of the interior de partment , whoso report formed the basis of the suit now pending in the United States district court. Had the company acted in good faith in the mnlter , with both the people and the government , the suit would never have boon instituted , as thera ia n large tract of land on the South Lonp which Ia unfit for sgrical tural purposes and its occupancy by tha company aa a atock range could not bo reasonably objected to. Other btock men have fenced portions of this land and have no trouble when duo regard was had for individual i ight > . S ncu the euit was commenced the company has re moved the fence from a portion ofhe land in question. The article assorts "that the company has always encouraged the taking of landa within its enclouiro. " The company has encouraged a certain class of settlers to coma insldo the enclosure and enter lands , and by an unexplained coinci dence the land so onteiod by "invited1 parties finds its way into the possession of the company in the course of six months or moro , and the "invited" sot- tier seeks new fields for speculation. All others who propose to make homes in that quarter and become actual settlers have never recotved a very gushing wel come , and when they leave , as many of them have , no tears ara shod by the cor poration's employes at their departure. It has boon the company's aim to dis courage actual settlement aa much at possible , whatever its employes may sweat to the contrary notwithstanding. In tint the company has acted in no way differ ent from every free range stockman 01 corporation In the west , who all recognize - nizo that sottlomeht means a curtailment of range privileges , diminished herds and potslbly a foicod abandonment of the bnslnoes or romovsl to n now and unset' tied country. It is an antagonism of in < tereats that mutt snonor or later clast discord unless the range stockmen qtriotl ) accepts the situation as it is , and dooi not attempt to stem the tldo of immigra tlon , public sentiment and law. The Brighton company has acquired bj entry , purchase and louse , a large amoun of tirrltory In this country which it con trols absolutely and legally. Tnls tern tory it has n parfectly unquestioned rlgh to fence and nee as it sees fit and no ob jection Is offered to till * . The companj has also thousands of dollars invested ii stock and ranch propoity which the people plo of Cuater county ai a whole desln shall remain In the county. The inter osta of the stock ralsar ana grain produce are to a certain extent identical. Th company's stock not only creates a mar ket for a limited amount a produce raised in the country , bu the taxes from Its properly ii a me ternal addition to tbo count 17'B revenue No reasonable man objects to the com pany enjoying every right given them b , the law. But the people do object to th assumption that the Brighton or an other corporation can use thtir capital t control the public lands to such an exton that settlement la prevented. They den the tight of the company to fence thei in or tonco them out cf any section c the public domain , to which they hav as much right as the stockman , aud U I to this assumption of the one and the dc n'al ' cf the other patty ( hat has led to th suit which la now in progress by tha government ornment , Aa regards Ibo allrgnd killing of cattl belonging to the cunpnny by aortal parties residing on the Lonp , the Leadi baa nothing to say as it knows nothli : except by report. Tbo men may I Oaa charged , and they may no 10 statement in regard to the recei murder of ouo of the parties implicated false , as any reeidont of the county a qualntcd with tbo facts knows. Lot and Provlnca were both residing on tl claim in question. Long has attempt ! to nuke proof on the land , but wai d fo ted by the protest of Province filt when tbo proof wxs made. At the tin of the shooting LDCR lud no retun f com the land oQie , whatever may be tl assertions to contrary.

The Probnblo Outlet Accidentally Discovered by n Boy. SaltLako Democrat. Peter Whitford , a farmer living n few miles southeast of th ° i city , and his son , Frank , nineteen years of oga , were looking for sotno stray cattio. They were on horseback , and followed the track of cattio to within a few miles of the most southern part of the lake. Frank was riding sotno distacco in front of his father , and was gazing intently on the ground , as the tracks of the cattio were somewhat Indistluot. While they were rldipg along qaiotly In this manner Mr. 'Whitford was startled by a about from his son and , looking up quickly , ho saw Frank throw his arms wildly in the air , while his hone was plunging about as If terror stricken. At the name tlmo there was a deep , tumbling sound that seemed to come from the center of the earth. In an Instant , before Mr. Whitford had tlmo to think , his son and the horse ho rode had disappeared from view , and in the place where they hod been a yawning chasm appeared , from the sides of which the eatth was still leaving and dropping down. Mr. Whitford for several moments was stuplfiod with terror , and then aj ho be gan to roallzo the terrible situation , ho became frantic. The last piercing scream of his eon was still ringing in his OSH , and ho could not tell how far he had fallen or what dreadful fate ho had mot. The aperture seamed to bo'abont thirty feet in width , and was nearly circular. Mr. Whitford noticed that on the oppo site sldo from whore ho was standing , the earth seemed to bo comparatively solid. He therefore , proceeded very cautiously around , and , face downward , crept elow- ly ard carefully forward until ho was enabled to peer over the brink of the chasm. At first ho ceuld distinguish nothing but impenetrable darkness. The faint rash of the waters far below waa the only sound that greeted his ear , and after gazing intently for several moments he baheld the gllmmor and foam of the water. Ho then bsgan to "hello" Justly , and waiting a few moments for a reply , ho hoard a faint response como from the depths below. He was overjoyed by the discovery that bis son waa atill alive , and immehlatoly sat about to devise some means for his resauo. Fortunately ho carried upon the horn of his saddle a stout lariat rope about fifty feet Inlens > tb , which he hastily procured and low ered over the sldo of the opening. Frank shouted up that the rope would not roaoh by several feet , and Mr. Whitford lengthened it by adding the bridle roinc , when ho was overjoyed by the discovery that it reached his son. Frank fastened the rope securely around hia body and shouted to his father to draw him up. Although ho is very small in stature and does not weigh more than 125 pound ; , it was only by superhuman efforts that Mr. Whitford succeeded in drawing him ap , and twice be came very near being dragged over tbo brink himself. But he was finally successful , however , and the emotion of the father and son when the latter was safely landed on solid ground can bo more readily imagined than de scribed. Frank was entirely uninjured , with the exception of several small bruises on the left leg. Ho described his eousa- tions while descend ! as most terrible , and owes bis cscipu from Injury to the most fortunate circumstance cf his horse remaining under him. The animal struck tbo bottom first , nnd this broke the force of Frank's fall. The horto , Frank thought , was not dead , bat he In tended to return and sHoot him. Frank descilbed the cavarn in which bo descended as being about seventy-fivo feet in length , Ha had fallen ou the west side of a shelf of rocks , junt below which a foaming ctrcatn of water was raching past. Ibis stream appeared , as near as frank could tell in the dim r D light , to ba about 50 feet In width. The . spray which fiaj couttantly being dashed over the rocks on which ho had fallen left a heavy deposit of salt , from which which it was evident the etream came from tbo ( great Silt Like. The cavern narrowed down at either end , just leaving room for the channel of the ttreoin. Young Whltford's escape was no lest _ marvelous than was the wonderful dis cavory ho had made. This underground stream was flowing in a southwestern di rection , directly from .the lake , and if il Is not an outlet , what is it ? The pUc ( where this occurred Is about twenty-five miles from the city. \Vlmt Shall bo Done With Kiel ? OTTAWA , May 17.

[ ( La. ) Chief , April 1 Surpassing Even the Dec ( Is or Prow ess of Kvcry-Dnyliltc. A few months ago the country was thrilled with the account of the girl who , at the risk of her life , when the whirling flocd of the swollen rivers wai wresting great bridges from tholr foundations , skipped along the tics of a western rail way , lantern in hand , and saved a train from certain destruction. The elate of Iowa awarded her a suitable medal for bravery. In this instance it was a child who saved the lives of many adults , but as a rale the lifo of the child Is In the hands of older persons. In November , 1883 , a little eight-year- old son of Danish'caronta was suffering with diphtheria. The attack was not se vere , but ho did not seem to rally after the throat appeared perfectly well. Nausea , headache and low fever suc ceeded the sore throat , and two or thrco days afterwards his limbs began to swell mysteriously. The skin became very dry , vomiting was frequent , nose-bleed was persistent , and nothing would stay iu his stomach. "It waa evident to our minds , " says MN. Thomas Schmidt , wife of the vice-consul of Denmark , resid ing at Notherwood , N. J. , "that some mysterious malady was working ruin in hla system , Our physician atld ho had the terrible bright'a disease. To our sug gostlou that a certain properatlon bo tried , made no objootion. Wo gave htm air doees a day , two toaspoonfula at n dose , in sweetened water. It remained upon his stomach , and within a week there was marked improvement. The bowels became - came regular without the nso of cathartics , and the naueca diminished ; in three weeks there was n subsidence of the dropjy , and by the middle of May the limbs were perfectly normal. Ho had a gocd appetite , and coald take three pints of milk dally. By the first of May ho was up , and though ho had spent eix months in bed , ho did net fcol particu larly weak. In Juno ho was out , fooling perfectly well , and in July ho weighed eight pounds moro than he did before ho was taken sick. To-day there is only a slight unfavorable condition in his sys tem , and the physicians say we have every reason to believe tbo child will bo perfectly well. " Mrs. Schmidt fs certainly to bo con gratulated on the good results which followed the csa of Warner's eafo euro , and aho says : "Wo feel bound to make this truly wonderful result known , and are perfectly willing to have this letter published. ' Gratifying aa ( a the result wrought , it is by no moans singular , for thousands of children , who seemed weak and puny , have had their entire nature changed add their future assured by a prompt usoof the same preparation , Snob disorders are transmitted by inheritance , or ariaufrom children's epidemic diseases , the evil effects of which often provo fatal in later lifo. The secret of the Ill-health of many children fs that tholr kidneys and liver are not performing their natural work. It was a bravo feat of the bravo girl who croeaad the swollen stream on the brldga to save the lives of the passengers ; but it Is a braver deed , and ono worthy of wider recognition , which , seeing the perils awaiting childhood , free from prn- judlco , with a purpose only to save by any effective means , preserves to us the livo3 of our children.
