RUSH ACTS FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL r la Oh 1b I2altr a.a Chars U literally Fraclaa Vul Tract ( GaTeraaicBt A suit In equity was filed in tUe United Elates circuit court Saturday by AUojbcy General Moody, tnroun SpecuU L'iuicl Attorney Rusn, acalsst the Nebraska Laud and Feeding company, Bartlett Richards, president; William Q. Comstock. vice presi dent and feneral manager; Charles C. Jameson, secretary and treasurer, and K. C. Harris. tJirl Comstock. Charles H. Tul ley, Christopher Mosier. W. A. Marsrrmve, James Ostrander. Ianiel Hill. David P. Qorley and Jud U. Jdorey on the charge at unlawfully fencing and enclosing ap proximately 400.0US acres of public lauds in Sheridan and Cherry counties, Nebrasaa. These ranches include the Spade, Overton, He well & Morty, C-Bar and t," -Cross ranchi-s and embrace an area of territory approximately seveuty-fivs miles in length and dirty-six miles in width, between lb Kurlingtun railroad on the south and the Northwestern on the north. The petition alleges that by erecting and maintaining and unlawfully enclosing these lands the' defendants have obstructed the highways, greatly Impeded travel, ob structed the 1" iii led States mails on their passage from postofflce to postomoe, and the court is asked to make the proper order for the destruction of these unlawful en closures within five days to restrain de fendants from the further violation of the t'nlled Slates laws in the premises and issue a writ of injunction perpetually en joining the defendants from any Interfer ence with the public highways by the main tenance of these fences. Casei Has lalere-stlaa- Past. This case has an added interest from the fact that it involves a portion of the en closures Indicated herein which Bartlelt Kichards and W. G. Comstock on Decem ber U. lSUb, pleaded guilty to having under illegal feaoe. and which plea resulted io their fins of $3ub each, to be committed lo the custody of the United Slates marshal far six tours and over' which a United Slates marshal and a district attorney were summarily dismissed from oSioe by the president of the fulled States. It was stated at that time the defendants were removing their unlawful fenoes as gwstidly as possible and that ths remainder would be removed as soon as It was possi ble to do so. It has been reported to the government authorities the removal of fences according to promise have been very slow and that In some Instances no efforts whatever have been made to take down the fences by the defendants in that suit. Aside from the civil case above cited It now begins to look as if criminal action will be instituted against these same de fendants at the May term of the Tederal courts. At all events a number cf arrt-sts has been made of parties chart' tl it:i illegal filings and subornation of perjury in the acquirement of public UnJs wiinln these enclosures and the accused parties have been bound over to the grand Jury to answer.

UPDIKES SUE TO FORCE ROAD Grain Company to Ask Court to Compel MLvaikee to Eeoede on 'Bate. WANTS TWO-DOLLAR CHARGE TO GO Mllwaaaee mm Rock lslaaa Fallaw PBBllshea Rata f Six Dollars Da Xot Tara Over All Grata. The Updike Grain company has brought suit against the Milwaukee railroad In the federal court to compel that road to de liver grain to the Union Pacific at Coun cil Bluffs for Omaha elevators or to haul the grain itself at the same rate for which the Union Pacific offers to haul lt The published rate of grain from Iowa points on ail roads carries a charge of IS per car for hauling across the bridge and this rate is still in effect. Last year the Union Pacific put in a rate of 12 per car for haul ing grain from Omaha to Council Bluffs and in January of this year reversed the rate and made It apply from Council Bluff to Omaha. Thus the Union Pacific chargt for hauling grain from Council Bluffs tc Cttnaha is fZ. while other roads charge . per car. The grain companies claim the Milwau kee is trying to hold grain at Iowa poinu until a little later, when the movement o: grain to the south will stop because of th warm weather In the south, which wil change the movement to the Atlantic sea board and thus give the Milwaukee ant other roads the long haul to Chicago In stead of a haul of 100 miles or less ti Omaha. Grain men say they can just a well buy some of ' this lows grain anc slJp to Council Bluff i and py the ti switch lng charges to Omaha, because of the dis tance tariff in effect In Iowa as to haul Is ths same distance from Nebraska. Twesly Cars at Oats. About twenty cars of oats were on th tracks at Council Bluffs, for which th Milwaukee demanded the tariff rate of $L to ship to the Updike elevator In South Omaha, but the Updike people demanded the Milwaukee haul them at (2 per car or give them to the Union Pacific to be hauled at that eat. The Updike company asks for a manda tory writ Rock Island officials say the published rate Is M per car and that road does not turn over grain at Council Bluffs to the Union Paclfi) which has originated at local points la Iowa. This business belongs to the roads on which it originates. The roads claim they pay the Union Pacific ete.000 per year for trackage privileges to haul this grain to Omaha and South Omaha and that when the Union Pacific makes a cut rate, as it did when it cut the rate to tX It is taking the revenue ' from the roads which pay for the use of the tracks.
