HUMBOLDT. Neb.. Dec 1. (Speclall
Most of the Humboldt people upon arising
this morning were surprised to learn that
the city had been the scene during tha
night time of a bloody scrap. As a result
one ot the officers of the city Is laid up
with severe and perhaps dangerous In
juries, after having a narrow escape from
a violent death, and two toughs are lan
guishing In the city Jail, awaiting a trial
on some very severe charges. The affray
occurred at the Snow livery barn about
11 o'clock Saturday night and the prin
cipal offenders were William and Ed Early,
two young farmers with an unenviable
reputation, who filled up on bad liquor
and were out looking for trouble. They
came Into the barn and attempted to pick
a quarrel with the young man who Is
staying there, the latter being a brother-in-law
of the Early boys. "Dad" Turner,
who drives the 'bus to the trains, had
Just returned from a trip, and as he holds
the position ot night watch, attempted to
quiet the offenders with disastrous re-
ults. Both of them, attacked htm, one In
front and the other from the rear, and
fter they all became mixed up one of
the toughs kicked the officer about the face
and head. In the struggle one of the Early
boys drew a knife and made an attempt
to slash Turner across the throat, but was
aeen by Walter Billings, who ran up and
kicked the knife from the hands ot the
would-be murderer. Some outside help ar
rived In time to rescue Turner, who was
taken home In a badly bruised condition.
The desperadoes stood off the crowd bv
brandlBhlng knives, after knocking down
Tom Allen, one of the bystanders, who had
been attracted by the noise of the scrap,
using for the purpose a neckyoke. Allen
was only given some severe bruises and a
light scalp wound.
Marshal Settles Them.
In the meantime someone had sent word
to the city marshal, Captain Grtnstead,
who arrived on the scene shortly, accom-
panlcd by his son Ben, a strapping young
six-footer. No sooner did the Earlys spy
the newcomers than they made a dash for
them, attempting to use a heavy leaden
slungshot and their knives. -The officer
bad not come prepared to parley and there
fore began work with a loaded cane, ably
assisted by hla aon, but not until Ed had
been beaten Into insensibility and Will
waa laid out on the floor ot the barn with
blood gushing from a half doien scalp
wounds, would they desist from their mur
derous attempts.
For a time It was thought that Ed had
been killed, but after about thirty minutes
work he waa restored to consciousness and
the two brothers were removed to the city
Jail and locked In aeparate cells for the
night. The floor of the barn resembled a
slaughterhouse, great pools ot frozen blood
being yet in evidence this morning.
Thla morning the two prisoners were In
badly battered condition, still greatly
stupefied by their debauch, and not appear
ing to realise the seriousness ot their
situation. The county attorney has been
notified and It Is not yet knowp exactly
what the charge against them will be. The
marshal announcea his determination to
prosecute for assault with intent to kill
and for resisting an officer.
Both ot the offenders have long been
known as desperate charactera. Both are
married and have families and are well
known In thla aectlon. William la an old
offender here and has been Jailed numerous
times on minor charges. 'Ed haa been away
several yeara and came back only a few
montha ago from Horton, Kan., and haa
been working for a farmer In this section
ever since. Both sre a menace to society
so long as they are permitted to remain
at large.
"Dad" Turner, the nlghtwatch, was this
morning resting quietly at bis home, and
while suffering considerably still feels like
congratulating himself upon eacaplng with
his life from such an aasault. Inasmuch
as he is a man TO years of age It may
well he considered miraculous. Marshal
Grlnstead haa learned since the scrap that
Ed Early la wanted by the Kansas officers
and haa communicated wth tbem.

ALLIANCE. Neb., Dec. 7. To the Editor
of The Bee: I received a marked copy of a
paper a day or two ago, the marked article
therein containing severe strictures on
Colonel Mosby, speclsl sgent for the gov
ernment. In his efforts to carry out his In
structions from the general land office In
the matter ot having fences removed from

widows of soldiers, snd If said widows wers

article, aa I am an old soldier myself, and
my sympathies naturally favor the veterans
and their widows, but the soldiers' widows
sre not the persons who built the fences.
nd ars "In it" Incidentally to show ths
fraudulent manner In which the cattlemen
sought to obtain color of title, or right to
possession, of many tracts of publlo lands
o the exclusion of bona fide homesteaders.
The evidence of Mrs. Carrlgan as to the
affairs at Gordon. is strong proof ot the al
legations made.
As a former register of a United States I
land office, my opinion la that the officers
ot the local' land offices where these slleged
Irregularities were permitted deserve the
severest condemnation; their conduct la ut
terly Inexcusable. That widows of soldiers
have the right to make homatead entries
no one denies, but such entries must be
made according to law. It la not material
what the quality ot the land Is, if a quail
fled entryman desires to locate his or her
ntry In the 8and Hills who Is to say him
nayT On the other band, auch entries must
be made In good faith, and the requirements
of the law must be complied with. The
rules and law Is as follows:
"In case ot the death of any person who
would be entitled to a homestead under ths
provisions ot section 2304, his widow
may make filing and entry In the same
manner that the soldier might have done.
the preacrlbed evidence of military
service ot the husband must be furnished.
The ruling hereinbefore stated rel-
tlve to the widow and minor children ot
another deceased homestead party as to ac
tual residence Is equally applicable to the
Idow or minor children of a deceased
sailor or soldier. If the land Is cultivated In
good faith the law will be regarded as sub-
tantially complied with, although the
widow or children may not actually reside
upon the land."
The presumption Is strong that the
widows contemplated In the action brought
were not well Informed as to their rights
nor the responsibility they assumed or they
would not likely have subscribed to the
homestead affidavit snd allowed themselves
to commit constructive perjury.
Part of said affidavit reads aa follows:

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7. Dr. William
W. Keen, who was summoned to Annapolis
to operate on Midshipman Aiken, attributes
the success of his operation to knowledge
gained through experiments In vivisection.
Saved by Vivisection.
Dr. Keen has addressed a letter setting
forth the facts to Senator Gal linger, whom
he regards as one of the leaders ot the antl
vlvisectiontsts in this country.
He says:. .
I deem it my duty to call your attention
to the caso of Midshipman Aiken of the
United States Naval academy, who was re

reason for dolna an Is to show you by a
concrete example that knowledge gained

Experiments Give Knowlfilge.
In 1902, observe the difference. As a re
sult of knowledge derived from experi
ments upon anlmxls 1 reached the conclu
sion that there had been a rupture of a
blood vessel within the head and that tha
situation c the clot should correspond to
the ."arm center." Its position was fixed
absolutely aa a result of experiments upon
animals.
As soon as the akull was opened at thla
point the clot was found, its thickest point
being exactly over the arm center, and the
blood waa removed, with the result that
the patient's life waa saved.
Thla ia only one of hundrede of cases In
which a similar exact localization has been
made by many surgeons both in Europe and
America. .
The anti-vlvlsectlonists have frequently
denied that surgeons have learned any
thing from auch experiments. 1 state with
the greatest poaltlveness that without the
knowledge derived from experiments upon
animals which have demonstrated the facts
of cerebral localisation I ahould never have
been able to locate the clot In Mr. Aiken's
head and remove it.
