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.

WANTS TWO-DOLLAR CHARGE TO GO

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.
