HOMESTEADERS TELL STORY
Osboro and Wife Testify in Federal Court
Againi Eranee Brothers.
TELL OF LAN! FENCING IN THE WEST
fVoart Declares Man with One Com
Has Same Right aa Itanuer
with Two Thousand
Head of Cattle.
The hearing in the land fencing cases was
resumed Friday morning, with Mrs. Bessie
Osborn still on the witness stand in cross
examination. Asked if certain homesteads
wera located and fences were not taken
down in 1904 instead ot 1903 the witness said:
. "I am sure it was not in 1904, because It
was In 1908."
In her re-direct examination she said:
"If certain persons had moved into the
Krause brothers' enclosure since 1902 and
made improvements I would have known
It"
Mr. Noleman wanted the answer stricken
out aa not being responsive, but the court
overruled the motion.
Mrs. Osborn then proceeded to describe
the winding roads and gateway openings
across the enclosed Krauso tract, also the
cattle brands of the Krause brothers and
number of cattle owned by them, approxi
mating 1,600 or 2,000 head that ranged at In
tervals upon the winter and summer ranges
within the enclosure. These cattle were not
herded, but were permitted to roam at will
over the ranges enclosed.
Judge Munger said:
"A man with one cow has the same right
to the public range aa the man with 2,000
steer. The man with 2,000 steers has no
more right to enclose the publlo lands than
a man with one cow. A man may, however,
enclose his own land, but not the publlo
land."
Saw Cattle on the Ranee.
Mrs. Osborn further testified as to hav
ing frequently seen the -Krause brothers
driving their cattle about the range. Other
cattle also was on the range, some be
longing to ths Jesse brothers and others.
It. frequently happened that strays got into
the range herds. She had talked with John
Krause at various times. On May 4, 1903,
he told the witness: "This government
land Is mine; this fence is mine and these
cattle are mine." She also told of the im
pounding of the Whetstone cattle at one
time. "The fences In question are of com
mon barbed wire and some of them are of
two and others of three strands of wire."
The matter of the contest made by her
husband against the reservoir tiling of
John Krause adjacent to her husband's
land was gone into at some length in the
recroSs-examlnatlon and it was shown that
the reservoir filing was a part of the orig
inal entry of her husband, but had been
cancelled because of certain presumed
water reserve rights. The contest had been
undertaken to restore this forty-acre piece
to Osborn's original entry, made In 1902,
for a full 160 acres, his present holding be
ing but eighty acres because of the segre
gation for alleged reservoir purposes of the
other eighty acres of his original filing at
the Instance of the Krauses. No reservoir
had been built on the tract and hence Os
born held he had the right to contest to
complete his original filing. The contest is
still pending.
Theodore Oiborn on Stand.
Theodore Osborn was the next witness.
lie testified that when he entered upon the
settlement of his homestead, which was in
side the Krause enclosure, May 3, John
Krause came to him on the morning of
May 4. 1903, and said to witness:
"I have filed on this land and own all this
land about here and use It for range pur
poses. We own seventy-two sections of
deeded land, besides lots of leased land,
and you people will have to move out. Wo
couldn't get to our homestead without
going through the Krause enclosure from
any side. John Krause rode up to my place
May 6, 1903, when I was plowing, and said.
'You are plowing It up, are you? This is
our range and we don't want it broke up.'
On July 22, 1903, John Krause, John Fisher
and another party came over to our place.
while my wife and I were going out to our
garden, and trie'J to ride us down. Their
horses brushri Against me. John Krauso
wanted to know what we were doing here
and charged us with trying to run his cat
tle off the range. I denied It and he called
both me and itiy wife 'liars' repeatedly and
said we would have to get out of this. The
next time I saw John Krause to talk to
him was in the spring of 1904, when he told
me that my fence was in the way of his
cattle going to water. I told him they could
go around the fence without any trouble.
Then he asked me how much I made since

had been there. About a week afterward
he asked me if I was going to fill out my
homestead right. I said 1 would If I was
allowed to. He said he would make it cost
me as much as he could to let me live
there.
Offer to Par Filing Fee.
'I next saw him in July, 1904, when he
asked me to file on a section for him aa
jolnlng my land, under the Klnkald law,
and said he would pay all the expenses
and me to deed the land to him when 1
completed the proof and that he would give
me $60 to do so to boot. I refused to do
so, as it was not businesslike. I next saw
him at my place on July 22, 1904. He said
n me, 'I guess wo will have to fight this
thing out.' He then stepped up behind me
and struck me in the face. I turned on
him and we wrestled around a while ana
then I got on top, throwing him down and
kicked him a time or two. He asked to
be let up and promised to go down to
the house and apologize to my wife and be
my friend. I went down to the house with
him, but before we got there he said he
had stood all that he was going to and
would kill me. However, he went on to
the house and his face was In a bad shape,
he was not aa pretty then as he Is now, and
apologized to my wife. I have had no con
versation with him since that time."
Koleman'a Motion Overruled,
Theodore Osborn was on the witness
stand but a short time Friday afternoon.
The general drift of his concluding test!
mony was in reference to the Krauses
driving their cattle upon his homestead by
his corn. His cross-examination was very
brief and elicited nothing of importance.
Air. Noleman made the usual motion to
have Osborn's testimony stricken from the
record, but the motion met with the usual
fate of being overruled.
Albert Cardwell of Alliance testified that
he had filed on a claim inside the Krause
Inoloseuro In December, 1902, and that the
defendants wanted him to file in there so
that they could have the use of his land
for pasture. The witness made the filing
and the defendant told him that they
would pay for what improvements he made
for the use of the land. The witness had
inree quarters ot laim and lived there, or
his family did, from September, 19, until
April, 1904. Witness said:
"I told John Krause that I didn't think
I would let him have the land as I would
fence It myself. Later I relinquished the
land. When I made my filing under the
Klnkald law. It was " John Krause who
pointed out the lands to me as public
lands and when I went to locate we passed
through a gate and he said to me, 'here
Is your land." The fence belonged to the
Krauses. John' Krause gave the money
with which to make my filing before 1
went on the lands. He also gave me the
numbers. - A woman whose name I do not
remember filed about the same time. Her
claim was close to mine. He told me there
was a shanty on the land, but we did not
find It at first, but did find It later. The
shanty was afterwards removed from the
land I filed on. After I had rellnqaished
my claim John JCrauxe wanted me to pay
him his money back."
Filed for Own le.
In his cross-examluuiion the witness said:
"I filed on the land for my own use and
subscribed to that statement when I filed
on it. I sold the relinquishment to John
Bnoddy. I do not know that the land was
ever relinquished buck to the government
Mrs. Wiker of Alliance, formerly Miss
May Morris, testified that she had met
John Krause in Alliunce in June last; saw
him two days afterward at her home In
Alliance and asked him why she could nut
file on some land for him? Some days aft
erward she went out to the Krause ranch.
with a Miss Harding and her friend and
Miss Morris' affianced husband. John
Krause gave the witness $15 to file on land
for him. He gave her the money in the
dining room of his house, and, continued
the witness: "I did not know about the
law then or what I wua doing. I was going
to see a lawyer about It, but did not as I
was soon convinced that I was violating
the law, and I returned the money to Mr. ,
Krause. I did not know where the land
was located that I was to file on, but I
understand It was to be near Miss Hard
ing's land and that she would be a near
neighbor to me."
The usual motion by Mr. Noleman to
have this testimony ruled out was over
ruled1 by the court.
Land aa Private Itannes.
Another witness of the afternoon was
John W. Frailer, who testified as to the
Krause fence linos and that the Krause
lands were held as private ranges. He also
knew that public lands were inside the
Krause enclosure. He testified also' to the
fact that the entry of Miss Clara Harding
was inside the enclosure east of his land.
Albert D. Currte testified to living In the
vicinity of the Krause enclosure for fifteen
years. He had a half mile of fence on part
of his range that he took down at the
order of Special Agent DcFrees in Novem
ber, 1903. He knew of the Krause enclos
ure and that there was considerable publlo
land inside of It Leonard D. Burrows tes
tified as to the Krause fences and as to
publlo lands being enclosed therein.
Obstruction to Feucen.
W'illtam A. Bissell, a United States mall
carrier between Long Lake and Alliance,
told of the obstructions by these Krause
fences to the public highways, and that he
had to pass through the gates of the
Krause fences. He had a homestead adja
cent to the Krause enclosure and when he
filed there four years ago the Krauses told
him that he had no business to file on gov
ernment land there, as it was their govern
ment land.
"I asked him when did he, John Krause,
go Into business with Uncle Sam."
The witness told of his early troubles
with the Krauses and of their driving cattle
onto his hay lands. Matters had finally
been smoothed over between them and he
had no further trouble. They tore down I
his fences a few years ago two or three
times, but they, had finally declared peace.
The witness was on the stand at the hour
of closing at 5 o'clock and his cross-ex
amination will take place this morning.
Rlrhards Case Deferred.
The trial of the Indictments against the
Nebraska Land and Feeding company, of
which lUrtlett Richards is president, for
the Illegal fencing of public lands has been
continued to the November term of the
federal courts. This continuance was
granted from the fact that the two indict
ments against this company have been con
solidated, and the defendants claim that
they cannot get ready for trial at this
term of oourt owing to the consolidation of
the Indictments.
The case against Charles C. Jamison, sec
retary of the company, has been nolled.
The Indictment, however, stand as to Bart
Idkt Richards and William O. Comstock.
Klrharda Gets Continuance.
The attorney for Bartlett Richards and
others of the Richards Cattle compuny,
under Indictment for illegal fencing of the
publlo lands, applied to Judge Munger Fri
day morning for a continuance in their
case. Judge Munger granted a continuance
until the November term of court.

Lake Manawa Friday evening about 9
o'clock by the upsetting of a rowboat, In
which she. In company with Garret Prange
of 1138 North Nineteenth Btreet were rid
ing. The boat was upset by the electric
launch at Manawa running into the row
boat. The couple were riding in a boat which
they had hired at the lake early in the
evening, and were enjoying the cool breeze
over the lake. The boat In which Miss
Winslow and her companion were riding
was about in the middle of the lake when
the electric launch camo towards them, dis
playing the usual signal lights. Young
Prange, who was manipulating the oars,
evidently became confused by the approach
of the boat, and in his effort to get his
skiff out of the way of the electric launch,
pulled the wrong oar, steering his boat di
rectly in front of the approaching launch.
The latter struck the skiff almost squarely
In the center; and when Prange saw that
an uccldent was Imminent he made an at
tempt tq get his companion out of the
boat, but she fell into the water, going
out of sight, and was never seen again.
Workmen at onco began dragging the
bottom of the lake, but at a late hour no
trace of the body had been found.
SEARCH FOR THE HOLY GRAIL
Draatlful Illustration Is Presented to
the High School hy F.Inlne
Society.
Friday afternoon the Elaine society of
the high school presented the school with
a beautiful series of pictures by Charloa
Abbey, Illustrating the "Search for the
Holy Grail by Sir Galahad. An elaborate
program was given prior to the presenta
tion, centering entirely about the beautiful
gift. The Elaine chorus opened the meet
ing by a song, which was very well ren
dered. Miss Florence True spoke of "The
Symbolism of the Grail." A portion from
Tennyson's "Holy Grail," referring to the
vision of tha holy grail, was read by Miss
Julia Nazi. Miss Jessie M. Towne played
"The Grail Music," from "Parsifal," In an
exquisite manner. Miss Lillian Shears gave
an explanation of the pictures presented to
the school. The titles of these pictures are:
"The Vision The Oath of Knighthood."
"The Round Table of King Arthur," "The
Departure," "The Castle of the Grail," "The
Lovely Damsel The Seven Sins The Key
to the Castle." "The Castle of the Maidens,"
"Blanche Fleur The Death of Amfortas
The Deliverer" and "Soloman's Ship The
Golden Tree." Following this was the pres
entation speech by the president of the
Elaine society, Miss Adelaide Clark. She
presented the gift on behalf of her society
to the school. Principal Waterhouse, on
behalf of the school, accepted the gift by a
few well chosen remarks.

Effort at Rescue.
John Short, who was operating the
electrio launch, when he saw a collision
was likely, reversed the current, but It was
too late. In pausing he made a grab for
Miss Winslow just before she sank, but
missed her and she sank to rise no more.
F. A. Klndall, who was In a sail boat a
short distance from where the accident oc
curred, hastened to the rescue and suc
ceeded in getting Mr. l'range out ot the
water, but saw nothing of Miss Winslow.
Prange was In a state bordering on col
lapsu over the tragic ending of the outing,
and repeatedly cried, "My God, my God,
why didn't X pull the other oar." He was
badly drenched, but not seriously Injured
by the accident.
Both Mr. Short, who was operating the
launch, and the passengers state the launch
was going at slow speed and that the
signal bell was sounded, but Prange evi
dently was confused by the noise and the
lights. The occupants of neither the launch
or the rowboat saw each other until they
were close together and the accident was
imminent.
