Surveys on Shoshone Reserve,
Senator Warren had a conference today
with Land Commissioner Richards In refer
ence to methods to be adopted for opening
the Shoshone Indian reservation. Senator
Warren urged that immediate 'action be
taken In the matter of surveys and allot'
ment so that the reservation may be opened
at the time set forth in the act. Commis
doner Richards promised that this would
be done and that he would at once adver
tlse for bids for surveys. Contracts will be
let to three or more parties of surveyors,
who will be obliged to complete the sur
veys for which they receive contracts by
December 1 of the present year. This will
enable the general land office to examine
and approve the surveys and place maps
In the hands of the officers of the Indian
bureau In ample time before the date of
opening to make allotments of lands to the
Indians and make other preliminary ar
rangements for the opening.
Commissioner Richards says the plan for
distributing the lands will be the same that
has been followed In the past three years
and which Is known as lottery system. This
plan has been found satisfactory in every
Instance and it will be followed in open
Ing the Uintah reservation in Utah this
year and the Shoshone In Wyoming next
year. Commissioner Richards will expedite
the work in regard to the Shoshone open
Ing, and, while the time is short in which
to do the sun-eying required, he Intends
to push it so that there will be no dlsap
pointlng'delays such as put back the open
ing of the Uintah reserve two years after
the date set In the original act to open it.

John E. Chandler was arrested at Anrtey
Sunday by Deputy Sheriff Ed McCormlck
and taken to Broken Bow and permitted
to give bond for $l,noo, signed by George
Gross and Will Brown, until the prellml
nary hearing Saturday. On the same even
ing Jimmy Rhodes waa arrested at Rowe,
Monroe county. Ark., by the sheriff of
that county, and Charles R. Richardson.
sheriff of Custer, left for Arkansas to bring
Jimmy Rhodes to Custer county. The
charge made against these parties Is that
on the night of November last they took
from the ranch of George E. Porter, which
Is located half way between Mason and
Litchfield, twenty-five head of cattle and
on the morning of November 7 shipped
them to South Omaha from Litchfield. The
cattle were sold on the South Omaha mar
ket and the money was drawn by Jimmy
Rhodes.
"eroad Charge Against Chandler.
John E. Chandler Is already under bond
to appear at the next sitting of the dis
trict court at Broken Bow, charged with
stealing thirty-two head of cattle from
N. J. Crawford and Crist Jensen, prom
inent farmers and cattle men of Clear
Creek valley, and shipping them to South
Omaha from Arcadia.
M. E. Huffman was also under $900 bond
to appear at the January term of the dis
trict court at Broken Bow on the same
charge, but whllo out on bond he disap
peared and his whereabouts are unknown.
The cattlemen's association has Interested
Itself In the prosecution of the cattle
thieves and It is expected that all the ac
cused parties will be found and prosecuted
vigorously.
Chandler and Huffman entered the impl
ment business at Ansley In January, 1904,
going out of business about the first of
July. There Is Intense feeling among the
farmers against the stock stealing going
on in this part of the state and If the law
does not prosecute it may be taken In hand
by the stockmen themselves and be harshly
settled.
Much credit Is being given A. P. Johnson,
the present county attorney, and Charles
R. Richardson, the sheriff, for their splen
did efforts in bringing this cattle gang to
prosecution.

DRAKE ASKS FOR FAIR PLAY
Gites Reasons for Opposition to Bridge Bill
Pending in Legislature,
NSISTS LUMBER TRUST IS BACK OF IT
Bridges Oae ef Biggest Items of Ex
pense to the Varloas Ceaatles
Whom He Thlaks Entitled
to Home Rale,
LINCOLN, March 16. "The attempt of
the railroad-lumber trust-elevator com
bine to cause the enactment into law of
H. R. 255. otherwise known aa the bridge
bill," declared Robert Z. Drake, "continues
to excite opposition from all parts of the
state. Letters, telegrams and telephone
messages of encouragement are continually
being received by me. I am making this
fight single-handed against the railroad-
lumber trust-elevator combine. These per
nicious Influences have from day to day
during the last eight weeks exerted every
effort ta cause the enactment of this
measure. I feel grateful beyond expression
to the many friends for fair play, and par
ticularly to those with whom I have no
extended acquaintance, for their kindly ex
presslons of sympathy and promises of sup
port that have been extended to me in this
unequal contest.
"I wish also to be understood as at no
time objecting or protesting against any
part of this measure, or other measures
that have been before the legislature dur
ing the present session that were really
aimed to provide for an honest, fair, home
administration In the matter of building
bridges, but my sole objection to the pro
posed measure has been, that it places
In the hands of one man the power to say
who may and who may not build the
bridges in this state. This Is absolutely
true of H. R. 255.
"Not In many years, and certainly not
during the time that the people have been
awakened to the growing power of such
trusts as the lumber-grain trust in Ne
braska, has a bill as lniqultious as this
measure been presented to tho legislature
for Its enactment aa a law. That this
powerful organization should at this time
aim to secure the enactment of this law
would sem to Indicate an utter disregard
of the growing sentiment among the peo
ple to restrict rather than enlarge the
powers of such trusts. Every element of
unfairness that these people could possibly
bring to bear In this fight has been applied.
It Is hardly possible for one who has not
been acquainted with their tactics to un
derstand the dastardly means they will use
to accomplish their purpose. However, It
is my opinion that within the time re
maining the people can by their expressions
encompass the defeat of this trust meas
ure. It has been the experience of persons
observing the life of political manipulators
that often the strongest political machines
were wrecked on seemingly Insignificant
obstacles, when such obstacles were In the
nature of some attempt to crush the In
dividual rights of some seemingly small
opponents. And It Is my hope that the
people, appreciating this attempt of this
trust group, will see to It that their ends
may not be accomplished by the enactment
of H. R. 255.
Bridges a Big Item.
"If the proposed bill should become a law
It would be necessary for-the taxpayers of
the various counties to watch and guard
this one appointment with the greatest pos
sible care to the end that such an appoint
ment Is not controlled by this trust aggre
gation! It is probably not generally known
that the Item of bridge expense In this
utate is the largest single Item of expense
to county governments, and that it has
therefore been entrusted to approximately
500 supervisors and commissioners in1 the
state. That this number of men holding
offices which are elective must answer
more directly to their constituents, most
of whom they know in person, is an ob
vious fact. That they are acquainted with
the needs of their people is also equally
true, and It is probably as apparent that
one man residing In some cases hundreds
of miles away could not know the desires
of the people in each individual locality.
Indeed It would seem strange if with his
lack of opportunity to know their desires
he should not make a very great many
errors.
"One of the prime reasons urged by the
lumber-grain trust group has been that
economic and faithful administration of
bridge matters by the county boards has
not been the custom in the past, and for
this reason they desire to remove from this
large number of supervisors and commis
sioners elected directly by the people of
their respective districts, the control of
these matters and place it to a large ex
tent In the hands of one state appointive
office, that of the secretary of the State
Board of Irrigation.
"I was refused a hearing by the house
committee on roads and bridges when this
bill was before them for their consideration,
which I believe to have been an action
without parallel when any matter o' 8n
eral public Importance was before any pre
vious legislature of Nebraska for consid
eration. This I feel to have been unfair
and unjust. I ' hope the people of this
state who read this paper will talk the
matter over, remembering the magnitude
of the Interests involved, decide whether
they want the expenditure of this large
part of their local taxes removed from the
hands of their local authorities. I also
hope In the Sunday edition of the various
papers which have been according me In
terviews to give them further light on this

hopeful of my case, but said after break
lug my fever that good whiskey and out
door exercise in good weather was the
best thing he knew to prescribe. A friend
advised mo to trv Duffv's Pure Malt Whis
key. I did so, and began to improve with
the first lxittle taken, and have been able
since, as Sheriff of Monroe County, to at
tend to my duties. Am satisfied that the
whiskey Is doing the work. Kefore I began
taking It I had no aimetlte, did not rest
well tit nlKht and had night sweats and
weighed 1W pounds. Now I have a good ap
petite and feel better than I have In several
years, and weigh ISO pounds. I am a strong
believer In the merits of Duffy's Pure Mall
Whiskey.
"I have a friend.- Mr. J. IT. Huddleston.
whom 1 advised to alve It a trial, and he
began to Improve with the first bottle. He
was in bad condition physieally, all run
down, but Is now much Improved, attends
to his business and attributes his Improve
ment to the use of the whiskey. George
