In discussing the matter Mild: .
"Other counties likely will follow the ac
l Ion . of Saunders county and that action
goes ' to show that the sentiment against
the railroods Is' not a flareup, but Is deep
se ated and will have Its effect on the com
ing campaign.1 The sentiment Is sb strong
against allowing the railroad lo continue
to run the affairs of Nebraska that It is my

, lp the state Who Is not thoroughly in ac

rosed to the railroads and would do them
nd Injury, but the? should pay their share
of the taxes of the state and they should
do it without resorting to the courts. Other
people had their taxes increased a great
deal more than did the railroads, and they
hod no alternative but to pay up like the
railroads should' have done. . I believe the
people will scrutinize every . candidate
closely whether he be running for United
States senator or for the least, of the state
offices and the men who are elected will be
those who are in accord with the sentiment
of the people."

FREMONT. Neb., Jan. 11. (Bpeclal.)
The Great Northern has a big gang of
men at work putting in the side tracks
and yard here. Track laying on the main
line Is completed to the South Platte line
of the Northwestern and a semaphore for '
the use of the two roads and the Union ,
Pacific is being built. There is some talk
that the Northwestern will prevent the
Great Northern putting in its Crossing until
after the semaphore Is finished. During
the most of tho day for the pmt two
days a train has been kept standing on the
crossing and besides for the last two nights
watchmen have been employed by the
former company to prevent any attempt
being made to steal a march on them and
putting in the crossing without their
knowledge. The latter company has con
siderable work ahead putting In the yard
tracks and no serious trouble between the
two companies is apprehended. The grade
in this county Is practically ready for the
ties and rails, but there is quite a stretch
In Burt county near Oakland to be fin

railroad circles here that the Chicago,
Milwaukee A St, Paul is interested in the
construction of the Lane cut-off on the
Union Paclfio and on its completion will
run Its trains Into Fremont over the latter
road and build a line to the northwest up
Maple creek valley. Both the Milwaukee
and Great Northern have a survey up that
valley and' Its construction would take
away considerable shipping which now goes
to the Northwestern.
OPPOSR HEW JUDICIAL DISTRICT
Adams t'oanty lawyer! Declare
Aaratnst Bnrkett Bill.
HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. U.-(Special Tele
gram.) The Adama County Bar Association
has declared its opposition to the bill In
troduced by Senator Ittirkett for the crea
tion of a new federal district to include all
counties in the state south of the Platte
river.
,. The attorneys of this county are in favor
of a district for the western end of the
state, with- provision for the holding of
court in Grand Island,' Hasting and Kear
ney, but they will oppose any division along
the Platte river which will leave the meet
ing place of the court in Lincoln or any
eastern town. The position taken by the
association Is that it is Just as convenient
for attorneys, witnesses and litigants from
the western part of the state to attend court
in Omaha as it would , be in Lincoln, and
unless provision can be made for the hold
ing of court regularly In some western town
they are in favor of allowing the district to
remain unchunged.
. The chairmen of the county., committee
of the republican, democratic and populist
parties have co-operated with the attorneys
in a call for a public mass meeting, to bo
held January 20, at which resolutions will
undoubtedly be passed requesting Repre
sentatives Norrls, Kinkaid and Hinshaw to
urge a division along a north and south
lino. . In the meantime an effort will bo
made to Interest other western counties in
the movement. . , . .

G. H.r Brash, secretary of the State Board
of Health, has received a letter from State
Rood Commissioner Tnompson informing
him that an analysis of the candy sold by
the Turks, who recently fled, from this city
shows that It was badly adulterated. The

eating from a five-pound box purchased at

Mr. Thompson says that he regrets very
much that our laws do not restrict this as

Special District Attorney Rush began hla
presentation of the case of the government
to the Jury at 2:30 Thursdsy afternoon.
Judge Munger overruled- the motion to
quash the Indictments against Rev. George
a. Ware In the United States district court
Thursday morning. The defendants ex
cepted to the ruling and Immediately filed
a demurrer, which was overruled, and to
which exceptions were taken.- The plea In
abatement was not filed. . '
Befora passing upon the motion Judge
Munger went into the matter to consider
able extent. He said:
The court cannot agree with the defend
ants as to the Insufficiency of the Indict
ments. These had clearly shown that a
conspiracy had been entered Into, that Its
purpose was to defraud the United States
out of certain lands and the title thereto
and that there was an Intent to defraud.
The fourth and fifth counts in indictment
numbered 21 on .the docket relating to the
wrong descriptions were, not material. The
entry la the first' step under the land laws
to procure a homestead, and If this Initia
tory step Is false and fictitious, it was an
overt act In furtherance of the fraud and
shows' the offense has been completed."
Lawyer from Sooth Dakota.
At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Ma-
honey moved the admission of Henry Fraw-
ley of Deadwood to practice before thla
court and the oath was administered to
Mr. Frawley. ' Mr. Frawley is . Mr. Ma
honey's associate counsel In the case.
A formal plea of not guilty was then en
tered to every count of the Indictments by
the defendants.
On motion of Special District Attorney
Rush the two Indictments were Consolida
ted. Mr. Mahoney then asked that separate
trial be granted for the defendant. Rev.
George G. Ware, and the request was
granted. . ,
The remainder of the morning . was de
voted to empanelling the jury for the trial
of the case .
Rush Depends oa Ware's Pals.
Special District Attorney 8. R. Rush,
who has charge of the trial of the land
conspiracy cases, said in his opening state
ment to the federal Jury in the United
States district court Thursday afternoon:
"We propose to substantiate the Indict
ment against the accused In this case upon
the testimony of men who were In collusion
with him in the commission of this crime.
We propose to show that this defendant
agreed to pay' t lie expenses of men to make
these fraudulent filings and that he did pay
these expenses nd that they varied as the
parties were' procured to make' the filings
from different" states. We propose further
to show an agreement was made with old
soldiers at the, Grand Island Soldiers' home
to avail of their unused rights in order to
locate lands tipon the tracts controlled by
the defendant. In Hooker county, and that
these men were to be paid 1150 each for
their filings hd subsequent leases of their
holdings to Ware and tils confederates In
this conspiracy, and that many of these
filings were made in October, 1902. We
shall further show by competent testimony
that In the spring of 1903 that certain Im
provements were made upon each of these
filings on the U. B. I. ranch, and 'that a
contractor was employed to build shacks
valued at about 17 .each on these claims
and did build them, and that they were
paid for by these conspirators and by Mr.
Ware. We shall show further that one of
these soldiers as a representative of his
comrades- went to Deadwood and held a
conference with Ware looking to a release
of the nlnetyrnlne-year leases executed by
the soldiers, -as these soldiers had awak
ened to the realization that they had com
mitted a wrong act. We propose further
to show that during the latter part of 1904
and tha fore part of 1905 that Ware was
constantly bombarding Frank Lambert, his
co-conspirator, to secure the final proofs
In these filings. In order that he might ac
quire title to the lands."
Mr, Rush took the Indictments, count by
count, and undertook to show the jury the
existence of the conspiracy.
- Mahoney Repeats Ararameat.
Mr. Mahoney in his opening statement
took practically the same ground that he
had assumed In his motion to quash the
indictments. He said:
Mr. Rush proposes to convict this de
fendant upon the testimony of his co-con-splrators
and upon the testimony of men
who are Jointly charged with this alleged
crime. This proceeding looks very much to
me as a conspiracy to convict Mr. Ware.
An indictment by a grand Jury la no evi
dence whatever. It Is a one-sided Inquisi
tion where the defense hss no opportunity
to cross-examine and get at the real facta
of a case. This Is not a trial for the en
closure of the public lends In the V. B. I.
ranch. It Is. a trial for conspiracy, and
Mr. Ware Is on trial for entering Into a
conspiracy with Frank Lambert, Harry
Welch and other persons unknown to
