Krause, cattlemen of that section, who
ware Indicted nt the November senslon of
the federal grand Jury for Illegally fencing
public lan (In.
Tha parties were arretted under caplaaea
Issued from the I'nlted States district court
and comprise a sextet of the moat promi

brothers own a large ranch twenty-five
Biilea southwest of Atlllance, at the head of
Jied Water. Tha Blmonaon brothers for

miles southeast of Alliance, and John and
Herman Krause are owners of a big ranch
twenty-five mllea northeast of Alliance. AH
of the parties gave bonds for their appear
ence In the sum of 11,000 each at the term
of court beginning next week.
All of tha parties, except tha Blmonson
brothers, are atlll engaged In the cattle
business In that section. W. G. Blmonaon
Is a prominent attorney of Alliance and A.
J. Blmonson la now In the real estate busi
ness at Denver, having disposed of the
cattle ranch last Inly.

flay. It Is Spite Work.
' The cattlemen hold that the Indictments
re the result of spite work on the part of
discharged employes and other personal
nemleSL Each maintains that he has not
fceen guilty of fencing government lands In
violation of the laws, and that about the
only fences that have been erected In that
country at all are "drift fences" that are
put up for the purpose of protecting cattle
during winter storms. Bald Mr. A. J. Bl
monson: "The Indictments against us are nothing
more than the result of spite work, for as
V matter of fact we disposed of our holdings
In the catt'e country on July 27, 1903, and
own no lands In the cattle country now at
11. We never fenced an acre of govern
ment land. ' We did put up a few drift
fences, but these were put up In conjunc
tion with and at the request of homestead
era, and In some Instances we fenced a few
acres of grass sloughs for homesteaders.
When we were In the cattle business we
were visited by Colonel Mocby and Mr
lesser, povernment agents, to make In
quiries as to the amount of public lands
w had under fence. We had none then and
of course have had none since going out of
4 he cattle business last summer. Hence 1
cannot see why wo should be Included In
these Indictments."
Homesteaders and Employes.
John King said: "These Indictments
against us are but spltework on the part
of some of our former employes or neigh
bors. I think some of the homesteaders
pre back of It, too. Though, as a matter
of fact, we never have had any govern
ment land under fence. we may hare
ntrelched out a few drift fence lines to
keep the cattle from straying, but ts for
fencing any government lands, we have
done nothing of the kind. One or two
homesteaders adjacent to our ranch have
wanted us to buy them' out, hut as they
had nothing to sell worth buying, we have
been threatened by Ihem with prosecution
for violating the fencing laws, and I sup
poso these Indictments come from those
threats."
Herman Krause said: "I have been up
In the cattle country for a good many
years and have tried to make a living and
raise a family of six boys and three girls
1n that Inhospitable region by herding a
few cattle In the sand hills. It takes a lot
of land up there to feed one steer or cow,
a-nd It la a lonely country at best. I have
not fenced any government land, nor ever
thought of doing so. These prosecutions
gainst us are spltework free and simple.
We know where they come from and are
perfectly willing to take our chances In a
bearing of the cases."
Says Government la Deluded.
"The fact Is, the government does not
understand the situation up there at all.
There are many thousands of acres of land
up fhere that are worthless for any pur
pose whatever. There la some gracing on
the table lands, but they are absolutely use.
ijss r farming purposes. Little patches
of corn are raised for fodder, but not
enough fodder ran be produced to keep a
cow and horse over a winter. The country
Is arid and about the only way to get
water Is by windmills constantly pumping
Into little ponds, and these we have to
plaster with natural cement In order to
keep the ponds from draining dry through

trouble. The cattlemen I mean the small
cattle owners and ranchmen, are law sbld
Ing citizens. There may be esses of Illegal

great cattle corporations that have rthe
money and Influence to keep themselves
out of the hands of grand juries and

EXPANSION OF THE WHOLESALE DISTRICT
Provisional Lease of Five Years for
Ames Estate Property Signed
by Kingman Imple
ment Company.
A provisional lease for Ave years on
the building at Ninth and Jones streets
occupied by Allen Bros, has been signed
by the Kingman Implement company. The
condition is the purchase of the big King
man building at Tenth and Farnam streets
by the grocery Jobbers. The lease was
signed with John A. Bcott, who Is the
agent for the Ames estate, owners of the
Jones street properties. Negotiations for
this Important real estate transfer have
been under way for some time, but no pa
pers ratifying the sale have been signed.
The parties Interested admit, however, that
the sale Is very probable. If the transfer
is made the business will be finished In
six or seven days at most.
This transaction altogether means the
erection of two new buildings and the re
building of the Ames properties destroyed
by fire Thanksgiving day. The two In
terior buildings of the block, extending on
Jones from Ninth to Tenth street, will be
rebuilt on the same external model aa be
fore, so that the completed block will have
much the appearance It had before the
fire.
low Burning; Buildings.
The buildings, however, will be of the
best modern alow-burning construction.
The two lots are each 44x132 feet and the
buildings will be' five stories and basement
Commodious vault room la provided in the
plans, which have been drawn by Archi
tect Thomas R. Kimball. 'Electric ele
vators will be Installed and the buildings
lighted by electricity. Mr. Bcott believes
that work will be begun about the middle
of March. The replacing of these build
ings will cost something over 150,000. Ten
ants already have ben secured for the
whole block.
If Allen Bros, buy the Kingman building
they also will purchase the lot of equal else,
60x152 feet, next east, owned by the Imple
ment jobbers. On this they will put up a
building probably of equal size with the
present structure. The Messrs. Allen In
tend to enlarge their coffee department,
and It Is said that at least half of the new
portion, If the deal Is accomplished, will be
a fireproof coffee roasting establishment.
The Kingman peop'.e also own the other
lots on the block at Ninth and Farnam
streets and If they find it profitable to sell
the building at Tenth will build a new
structure at the east end of the block,
which will fully accommodate their grow
ing business. The lease of the Jonea street
building will be for temporary purposes and
probably the new building will be put up
long before the term expires.
BARS CONFESSIONS TO JURY
Judge Day lain Not Admit Reed's
Statements at Time of the
Tragredy. 1
In the trial of James j. Reed for the mur
der of Glenna Hynes last September Judge
Day yesterday In the district court ruled
that the admissions or confessions made by
Reed at the time of the tragedy should not
be submitted to the jury.
The state has closed its introduction of
testimony.
The first witness for tha state was
Dan Baldwin of the, police force, who was
the first officer to reach the scene of the
shooting on the night of September 86. He
told of finding the Hynes woman wounded,
lying on her bed, and of finding Reed In
arother room trying to reload his revolver.
The witness was not allowed -to tell what
the Hynes woman said to him, but Identi
fied a revolver shown him as the one with
which she was shot and which he took from
Reed's hands. Reed, he said, admitted hav
ing shot the woman. Baldwin, with Officer
Dempsey, took Reed Into the presence of
Glenna, Hynes as she lay wounded upon her
back and she said he was the man who
had shot heir.
The witness was' submitted to a trying
cross-examination by defendant's counsel,
but his direct evidence was not changed In
any material particular.
W. F. Klnnear, who keeps a gun store at
211 North Sixteenth street, swore that some
days previous to the date of the shooting
Reed bought from him a 28-caliber double
act Ion -revolver, and that he loaded the
same for Reed, at his request, with five
cartridges. Reed said he was going to
Denver and wanted tha gun to protect
himself In case the train was held up on
the way. Shown the revolver, previously
Int.-oduced as an exhibit in the case, Mr.
Klnnear said it was like the one he sold
Reed, but he could not swear It was the
same.

PLANS FOR ARMY TARGETS
Preliminary Arrangements Being
Mnde for Two Meets ta Re
Held This Year.
Preliminary arrangements are bring
made at department headquarters for the
annual target meets of the troops of lh
Department of the Missouri. There will
be two target meets during the year, the
regular target practice, whlrh will take
place during the months of May, June and
July, and the supplemental or preliminary
practice during the months of October and
November. Definite arrangements have not
been made. It U hoped a target range
may be secured across the river near Fort
Crook Instead of the troops having to go
up on the Winnebago reservation, as last
year.
A range necessarily will require n hUth
bluff land background because of the long
range and power of tha modern firearms
used by the army, and for this reason ef
forts will be made to secure, a rante on
the Iowa side of the river, so It Is evident
that some difficulty may ensue toward
getting the required range here. However,
It Is thought that land can be leased for
the purpose on the Iowa side as cheaply
as to transport the companies to the Win
nebago reservation range, as last year.

East St. Louis. 111., Oct 9, 190S. This com
munity is In a stale of excitement over the
case of lien Kvans, who, was restored to

ooltin.
borne said that It was from faith cure,
some that it was in answer to prayers of
others, while another report was to the
effect that he had been restored to life by
hypnotUm a la Svengail.
Your representative found Mr. Evans at
his cottage surrounded by his family. When
acquainted with the nature of my visit, Mr.
ttvans announced quluily that he had noth
ing to say for publication. But finally
agreed to state the facts upon condition
that it be published verbatim us he gave it.
Here is Mr. Kvan's story: "About two and
a halt years ago, I began to have back
ache. During the day, 1 waa at times so
overcome with dizziness that I had to stop
work. A doctor treated me for Rheumatism
and Heart Disease. 1 grew worse. 1 en
gaged there other physicians In turn, and
they treated me for Catarrh, Stomach
trouble, Biliousness, Rheumatism, Lum
bago and many other things. I noticed
blood In my urine. My legs swelled up and
my weight went from 180 to 125 pounds.
The doctor told me ho could do nothing for
me and death would be only a few days
off. I had spent all my savings and had
nothing to leave my family, but a small in
surance. 1 told the undertaker that my
local Carpenter's Union would pay my
funeral expenses. A member of tho Union
called on me Saturday evening. Learning
of my condition, he went to the drug store
and bought a bottle of Cramer's Kidney
and Liver Cure, manufactured by the Cra
mer Chemical Company, 'Albany, N. Y. I
took three dosea that night and slept well
for the first time in years. I kept up the
treatment and before 1 had used three bot
tles, I was a well man. This In the whole
story In a nut shell. There, waa no faith
