MULLEN PEOPLE TELL DIFFERENT STO' ay Hamilton' Life ! Hot la Dang.. nd that Trouble lln S Connec tlon with Und Fencing: Matter. United Stoles District Attorney Baxter received a ruim telegram ahortly before noon Tuesday Irom O. F. Hamilton, a lawyer at Mullen, Neb., asking for Imme diate relief on the part of the government from the hands of a mob. The telegram is very brief and Is as follows: MULLEN. Neb., Oct. S Office smashed; . life threatened; mob signs of execution. Relief. O. V. HAMILTON. Theie is considerable significance con nected with the plea for help from the government rom the fact that Mr. Ham ilton was the prinelpal witness against the cattlemen In the rewnt Illegal fence cases filed In the United Btates circuit court In this city, which embraces over lOO.ooo acres o pi bile lands In Hooker county. District Attorney Baxter has wired Gov ernor Mickey fo assistance In the matter and has also asked the assistance of the officials of Hooker county for the protec tion of Hamilton. Mullen Is the county seat of Hooker county and Is In the center of the cattle tountry. midway between Thedford and Hyannls. . ' (iOTrrnnr Will Art at Oner. District Attorney Baxter had a talk with Governor Mickey over the telephone and the governor said he would take Immediate steps for the protection of Hamilton. A militia company is at Broken Bow that may be sent to Mullen if the emergency demands. Judge Baxter said: "Hamilton has been threatened with per aonal violence liefore for the active part he took In the cattle fencing cases and he asked that he be given government pro. tectlon. Had he been under direct sub poena from the government we'could hve acted at once, but as the subpoena has not yet been served by the United States marshal we shall have to look to the state authorities for his protection." Local View of Case. MULLIN. Neb., Oct. . fBpeclal Tele gram.) Reports of attempted violence to O. F. Hamilton, government witness In land rases, are somewhat exaggerated. The general sentiment In this community la that threats were made more on account of Tils' Vivrj'liiy, ability to stir up strife and dissension than on account of his con nection with the government agents In land and fence Investigations. No per sonal violence was committed. Parties un identified broke the windows in his office and posted notices warning him to leave town by October 1. Similar threats were openly made several months ago, prior to the government agents commencing opera tions In this vicinity. Hamilton is an attorney and It Is charged his object Is to stir up trouble In order to get the resulting attorney fees. It Is also said his record before coming here is bad In this repect. Hamilton maintains an office with a Justice of the peace. Hamil ton's cases are called before the latter al ways. The talk has been for a long time the combination was bad and ought to be topped. These opinions are commonly supposed to have started the recent trouble, and not land matters. As a government witness ho one fears what he will do, as he has taken out homestead papers himself and doe not reside thereon. The people of Hooker county are law-abiding and ex tremely peaceful for a western community, No trouble was known In this vicinity until Hamilton came. A good many fencea on government land have already been taken down and the generaJ sentiment seems the balance are willing to take them down. No Intlmldu tlon of settlers in this part of the Sand Hills has ever been reported. Hamilton and his partner, F. M. Cude bec, the Justice of the peace, also have been vary active In the unpopular side of the recent fight In connection with county school matters, and this. In connection with his practices as an attorney, have ex cited public sentiment against them. They were held in the same estimation of the public before the land. agents came here ns after their departure. Governor Aet Promptly. Governor Mickey received a telephone message from United States Attorney Bax ter informing him that the cattlemen of Hooker county were threatening Attorney Hamilton, who is In the employ of the fed eral authorities to assist in the fencing cases. Covertior VJekey took prompt steps to secure the enforcer ent of the law, wir ing Sheriff Rector and the county attorney to take Immediate action for the protection of the attorney and the arrest of those parsons who have been guilty of IntlmlOu ' tlon. No request has been made for troops, but It has been reported that they would be asked for. One report Indicated that a house had been tired, but the governor had no such information. In the event that troops are needed to cope with the trouble Adjutant General Culver will be able to order out a company on short notice, prob ably from Aurora. It is stated that Mr. Baxter haa begun preparations for a number of prosecutions for Illegal fencing, and it Is believed that he had employed Hamilton to assist In se curing evidence. Hamilton is at Mullen, Hooker county. Governor Mickey sent the following mes sage to Sheriff Rector: Tou are hereby ordered to furnish pro tection to Mr. Hamilton, who I am in formed by United States Attorney Baxter lias been threatened with violence. Wire . me at once condition of affairs. To the county attorney, whose name he does not ksow, he sent the following dis patch, which was forwarded to Thedford, where that official resides: County Attorney Hooker County: United States Attorney Baxter Informs fne Hint violence I threatened Mr. Hamilton.

J.-Andrew Dewet. nephew of the famous Boer general, Christian De wet, has been arrested st his residence In a suburb of Windhoek, German South west Africa, with four other Boers, ac cused of plotting the overthrow of Ger man rule In Southwest Africa to create a Boer republic.

About 15.000 Boers are said to be in German Southwest Africa, one-quarter of whom are organized. Con siderable quantities of arms were seized at Dewet's house. Although the arrests occurred August 23, nothing was reported by cable to the newspapers, doubtless on account of the censorship. Andrew Re. wet married a daughter of a Prussian army officer.

RAMSEY'S FIGflT ON GOULD Wabaah Embrtglio Eeaohai Injucctioa Stag of Its Frooaedinga, SUIT TO PREVENT ELECTION STARTED Petition Filed la St. Louis Maine Other Gould Lines a Core, apoadent aad Ask (or Restraining- order. ST. I-OUI8. Oct. J Suit for injunction was filed In the St. Louis circuit court by Joseph Hamsey, Jr., president of the Wa bash, against the Iron Mountain and Wa bash railway companies, the Mercantile Trust company of New York, Waller 8. Wilson, 11. M. Walker and George J. Gould. In his petition Mr. Ramsey asks the court to grant him an Injunction preventing the proposed annual meeting of George J. Gould and his associates nt Toledo, O., where It is proposed to elect a board of directors and a president to control the Wabash road for the next year. As a reason he alleges that the one re sult of this meeting would be to stifle com petition in trafflo between the Wabash and Missouri roads between 8t. Louis and Kansas City. Ramsey sets out In his petition that he Is a resident of Mis souri, while the defendants are nonresi dents. He owns toO.OOO par value of the debenture bonds of the Wabash, class B, and 100 shares of the capital stock. He brings the suit, he says, for himself and others similarly situated. The Ml.'sourl Pacific railroad, he says, holds 20.000 shares of Wabash stock, the Iron Mountain holds 6S.000 shares of preferred stock and $5,435,000 par value of debentures, these shares be ing held In trust by the Mercantile Trust company of New York, Wilson, Walker and Gould. Gould, he says, owns and controls a majority of the stock of the Missouri Pacific and controls the majority of stock of the Iron Mountain railway. . F. W. Iehmann, attorney for Mr. Ram sey, says: "The importance of this suit to the public is In that it is a BUlt to en- Join rival companies of the Wabash from voting Its stock and debentures. Judge Taylor, to whom the suit was as signed, ordered the defendants to show cause at 10 c'clock Friday morning next why a temporary Injunction had not been issued. What Officials flay. Wells H. Blodgett, general solicitor, and E. B. Pryor, assistant to the president of the Wabash, both declined to discuss the matter without first throughly acquaint Ing themselves with Its details. "This BUlt will make little difference In the outcome of the election," said Mr. Blodgett. "It seems to be the custom for one road to hold bonds or stocks of another, as part of Its assets. This Is a general custom and I can't see how tt can be classed as a combination In restraint of trade." Mr. Pryor said : "The stock transfer books are now closed until after the election, October 10. On the 11th the new list bf stock and debenture bondholders will be given out. The debenture bonds of the Wabash have voting power the same as stock, but how they are distributed among tjie holder I do not know.'. Alex G. Cochran, vice president and gen eral solicitor of the Iron Mountain, said: We had no knowledge the suit would be filed until a few minutes before court con vened, when an Inkling reached us. We were on hand in court when the petition was filed. 'It is very remarkable that Mr. Ramsey should suddenly become aware of the fact that competition In traffic between the Wabash and the Missouri Pacific might be stifled as a result of the meeting to be held in Toledo when Mr. Ramsey himself knows that the stock and bonds have been thus voted for the last ten years and there has been no suggestion on his part that com petition might be stifled. Questions Ramsey' Ownership. There may also w a question raised at the trial of whether or not Mr. Ramsey ac tually owns the stock which he claims. "Regarding the Iron Mountain there is no allegation In the petition that it Is a com peting line with either the Missouri Facino or the Wabash, and as the entire petition is founded upon stifling of competition, there is really no reason for the Iron Mountain to be made a defendant. The only allega tion regarding the Iron Mountain is that the Missouri Pacific controls a majority of Its stock and H makes no difference whether this is true or not. 'There may be another question as to whether the real purpose of the suit Is to prevent the stifling of competition or be cause Mr. Ramsey fears that If the stock was voted it might prevent him from re tattling his position as president of the Wa basli. Mr. Ramsey has never before made any complaint and this question only arises when there Is a tight on." Edwin Gould, president of the Cotton Belt road and brother of George J. Gould, who arrived last night to attend the annual meeting of the Cotton Belt, today declined to make any statement concerning the suit. Ground for the Injunction. NEW YORK, Oct. J President Ramsey said that application for the injunction Is made on the ground that the Missouri laws prohibit a railroad running through that state from selling, ownership or control of a parallel line. The Missouri Pacific, Mr, Ramsev said, owns ffi.OuO shares of Wabash preferred, while the SI. Louis, iron) Moun tain & Southern owns V. 435,000 of Wabash debenture bonds. Asked as to the truth of the report that the Gould holdings of Wabash amount to 40 per cent of the whole, Mr. Ramsey said: "I doubt very much that George J. Gould and the Gould eBtate own more than 12 per cent. In fact, I believe that some of the Wabash directors hold scarcely mure than enough stock to qualify them as such. Russels Sage is probably the most notable exception." Mr. Ramney expects a decision on his application for Injunction on Friday. It was announced at the office of George J. Gould that nothing would be said there concerning Joseph Ramsey, jr.'a. statement that the Gould holdings of Wabash amou.it to not more than 1! per cent of the whole.

WOMAN IN LEONARD'S CASE Mater of Mas I'nder Arrest Tell of Featnre that Have Hot Been Investigated. NEW YORK, Oct. J.-MIss Kstherine Leonard, sister of Harry A. Leonard, the young man who confessed to the theft of more than .V.00O worth tf securities from the National City bank, declared today that young Ieonard was the victim of an other man and that he was trying to pro tect the man and a woman. Miss Leonard declared that she had given the woman's I nnme to the police and that she believed the. unrestored portion of the securities was placed In a safe deposit vault by the woman. Miss Leonard said: "There was a woman ilnterested In my brother and he was Interested In her. t want to say that my bti'ther was simply the victim of a Wall ftreet man. who. knowing his Innocence, laiposed upon him. My brother is now trying to protect this man. but I, my father and mother and our friends will not have It so. "In protecting the man he Is also pro tecting a woman. When the police came here they found the facta Just as I have given them to you, and they also found $300,000 worth of the stocks In a safe de posif vault, where they had been placed by this woman,- I believe. "I don't know the name of the man who has used Harry as his tool, but I do know the name of the woman." Miss Leonard denied the police story that part of the securities were found In the Leonard home. Abraham Levy has been retained to de fend Leonard. After a long talk with the prisoner Mr. Levy said he was satisfied that there was no criminal Intent on young Leonard's part and that the whole affair was a foolish boyish escapade. "When the young man Is arraigned." said Mr. Levy, "I will make the contention that there was no criminal intent and think I will be able to convince the court of that fact." Leonard's ball was fixed at $26,000 today after an attempt had been made to place the amount at $50,000. It was stated at the rearralgnment that the charge of larceny would probably not be pushed against Ieonard. but that he would be prosecuted for forgery. CHADWICK CASE ON CALL Heada the Doeket of llatred (Hates Court of Ap4ala at Cincinnati CINCINNATI, Oct. S.-Th-v -petition for a writ, of error" for Mrs, .Caasle L. Chad wlck, charged with bank wrecking and con victed at Cleveland xf conspiracy to de fraud, was at the head of the calendar of the United States court of appeals, whose fall term opened here today. The record of the case is one of the most voluminous ever brought into this court, comprising S16 printed pages and giving In detail all the steps taken tn the case. Mrs. Chadwlck was convicted on seven of the fifteen counts In the Indictment and her attorneys. Dawley and Wing, brought the case to the court of appeals on a writ of error, alleging that the trial court had erred in various particulars, that the al leged offense Is not a crime under any statute of the Vnlted States, and petition ing foe a new trial. This case has prob ably attracted aa wide attention as any other that have been in the courts. Large sums of money were said to have been secured by Mrs. Chadwlck on insufficient security from the Oberlin (O.) bank and other Institutions. The wrecking of the Oberlin bank was such a severe blow to its president, C. W. Beckwith, that he died soon after the discovery and exposure of the fraud. Mrs. Chadwlck is now In the Cuyahoga county Jail awaiting the de cision of the United States circuit court of appeals. If the decision is against her she will at once begin her sentence of ten years . in the Ohio penitentiary and a prosecution in the state courts on other In dictments Is threatened in case she gets clear of the charges made in the federal court indictments. Judges Lurton, Severance and Richards were on the bench when the case was called. Attorney J. P. Dawley at once be gan the argument In support of the petition of Mr. Chadwlck. District Attorney J. J. Sullivan of Cleveland was present to con test the petition, maintaining the validity of the trial and conviction of Mrs. Chad wlck.
