Wednesday morning, wa found dead in
his room at C o clock Wednesday evening
The gas wa turned on full and his death
was from asphyxiation. He wa under the
Influence of liquor W hen he registered hi
name, and Night Clerk Frleder says that
for that reason he told the man particularly
about, turning off the gas when he took
him to his room About R.' o'clock in the
evening an effort wa made to discover
why Kuchar did not leave his room. Py
looking across an air well the clerk couid
set into Kuchar room. He saw the man
lying on the bed with hi clothes only
partly removed Stretching a piank across
the air well the clerk raised the window
and discovered that Kuchar was dead
and that the gas was turned on full. He
appeared to hare remrved his coat and
shoe and sat down on the edge of the
bed.
Kuchar had evidently purchased a new
suit of clothe as the store tag had not
been removed. He wa freshly shaved.
He Is about five feet ten Inches high; ha
curly chestnut hair, brown mustache and
clear complexion. He I about ao year old.
In his pocket was found a return ticket

the country. Additional Inquiries will be
made today.

For Teachers and stadrata.
Many teachers and students are looking
for pleasant employment during the sum
mer months. They feel that it is necessary
for them to have some practical business
experience to properly balance their train
ing and to keep them, so to speak, from
becoming lop-eldad.
It Is practically impossible for them to
obtain an office position for so short a
time. There are, however, unlimited oppor
tunities as salesmen or solicitors, and this
kind of work, If well selected, 1 more
practical and usually more profitable.
In selecting this work there are certain
qualifications that must always be con
sidered. The proposition must be meritori
ous that is, the article must be actually
worth -to the purchaser the price charged.
It should not be exclusively a luxury, but
should possess some element that makes it
a necessity, either in the business or house
bold of the purchaser. The work should
be dignified and of a nature that will com
mand the respect of the people, thus giving
the salesman a pride in the business he Is
following.
Salesmanship or agency work with Tbe
Twentieth Century Farmer of Omaha,
Neb., has all of these qualification and is
usually profitable. They give employment
each summer to a large number of teach
ers and students.

LAND FENCERS ARE ON TRIAL
Articm Ipainpt Indicted Cattlemen Begin
vitn UrtnM Brotheri' Cue-.
MOTION N.Dt TO QUASH INDICTMENT
First Me of Attoraeys for Iefeae
Is Plrk Teehalcal Flaw
la Bill Retsrae .y
rad Jary.
The hearing of the laud fencing case
wa bigun in the Vnlted Btt
ditrict rourt Wednesday morning, with
United State L'istrlct Attorney Baxter
and Fjieclal Assistant Iiistrlct Attorney
Rush in charge of the proserutlon and At
torney R C. Nolenian and C. C. Barber
of Alliance a attomej for the Krause
brothers. Harmon and John, who are In
dicted for illegally fencing approximately
I.WAi acre of public lands some welve or
more mile northeast of Alliance.
At the outset the attorney for the de
fense presented a motion to quash the in
dictment against the Krause brother as
"informal, incomplete and unlawful." As
to the main part of the Indictments,
Judge Mungcr, arter deltlierating for some
hours, overruled tbe motion, but sustained
it as far a It related to some minor counts
In ths bill. The court s action had no de
terrent effect upon the proceedings Mr.
Noleman, who made the first argument on
behalf of the motion to quash, attacked ten
of the fourteen counts In the later Indict
ment, in that they did not describe the
land alleged to tic illegally fenced and that
the pleading fails to show that the land
described are public laud of the Vnlted
State. Another objection is that John and
Harmon Krau are Jointly charged with
this alleged offense, that they should lie
severally charged with the offense and
that each of them Bhould have been ap
prised specifically of the offense for which
they were indicted
Legal P liases of Indlrtsneat.
Mr. Barber, also counsel for the Krause
discussed the legal phase of tiie indict
ment, especial: y in regard to the meaning
of the word ' entry" as applied to the tak
lng of public lands, also as to the technical
value of the statutory terms "lawful claim
or color of title," and "asserted rights."
He further held that illegal fencing could
not be spplled to uneurveyed public lands
not subject to entry and that an asserted
right must be made by the Vnlted State
as a special proposition in the indictment.
"The Indictment." he held, "1 fatally
defective in that it did not follow the
statute. It charge a Joint offense and not
an offense In severalty. It does not sjieclfy
that the defendants had by firing of guns,
and threats and intimidation prevented
people from settling on or crossing the
lands occupied by the defendants."
Special Ilstrlct Attorney Rush, on behalf
of the government, took the view that the
Indictment was ample to cover the charges
alleged. The meaning of the word "entry"
as applied to the taking up of government
lands is broad enough for any understand
ing. Stripped of its legal verbiage. It meant
every step in the acquirement or public
lands, including the preliminary steps down
to the execution of the final proof.
"The indictments are sufficient. The de
fendants are distinctly told that they have
unlawfully enclosed certain lands. A Joint
Indictment is Just as effective as an indict
ment in severalty. Two or more defendants
may be charged Jointly In an indictment
and such indictment i Just a effective a
11 made as an indictment in severalty.
Authorities were cited by the government
attorneys showing the full effect and force
of Joint indictments and that they are in
variably . recognixed by all the United
State courts as ample and sufficient.
Little Inrldeat tbe Mae.
An incident occurred on the side after the
hearing Wednesday morning wherein tbe
Implacable hatred of the cattle men and
their allies against the homesteaders aud
settlers prevails even today as it was
years ago in .he early cattle history of tbe
west, A man from the vicinity of Alliance
was talking to the district attorney and
took occasion to remark in the Inuring of
a couple of newspaper men:
"The homesteaders up there are nothing
but a set of scoundrel and blackmailers
and they ought to be made to suffer for lt
They are always trying to blackmail the
cattlemen."
The remark rather surprised the district
attorney, coming from the apparently re
spectable source it did, but he tnade no
reply to it.
T Consolidate ladlrtsarats.
After Judge Munger acted on the first,
the motion of Attorney Noleman to quash
the indictments against his client, tbe
Krause brothers, a motion was made by
the attorney for the government that the
indictments be consolidated against the
Krause brothers. After some little dis
cussion ihe motion was granted, as regards
the first and second indictments, but in
regard to consolidating the third indict
ment, found May 17, the Judge took the
matter unde- advisement until Thursday
morning. This action was taken on the
ground that the attorneys for the defense
claimed to have not read the third indict
ment sufficiently to familiarize themselves
with It.
Vpon motion of the government attorneys
the three indictments against Bartlett Rich
ards and others Included in the Indictment,
were consolidated, and trial will proceed on
the consolidated Indictment.
Attorney Noleman pleaded another mo
tion on behalf of his clients, the Krause
brothers, that they be furnished a bill of
particulars in each of the cases against
them, also a complete list of the witnesses
