Hull, In 1S02, and Mr. Modlsett wanted me

whole section. I told him I wouln't
do It, ss I had been out there be

didn't care about going out any more. He
said the law was changed now and he
wanted me to take more land. He said I
didn't have to live on the land and that
he would pay all the expenses and give me
15 for my expenses to Oordon. He stuck to
It, though, and the last word I aald to him
was I didn't want to go, and I didn't want
to go either. He said he would give in

rent. They made no contract with me
about buying the land. That was only
talk. I did sign a grass contract, but they
never paid me for that I would like to
have that money. Them two men, Albert
Modlsett and Fred Hoyt, came to me with
ties In tkelr mouth. I got a letter from
Modlsett about a relinquishment. He said
he would give m tS for It, but I told him
t wanted SCO and wouldn't sign It unless
he gave me the K0. Then I got a letter

the Pine Ridge agency to Rushvllle and
received S2S for making the filing. He was
solicited te make the filing by Dale, who
came to hla houee on the agency for that
purpose. In relation to the grass lease the

of crackers, which we ate in the shanties.
each on our own place, and then dug a
few shovelfuls of dirt. We were told we
had to do these things and to drive four
stakes. We then drove back to Oordon.
We understood we were to loose the land
to the Modlaetts for five years for the
expenses. I received no money from them
but my expense money. Something waa
said In Fred Hoyt's office at Gordon about
disposing of the land when we proved up.
Mr. Modlsett said to me: 'We are figuring
on buying this land when you get a deed
for It fir a patent,' "
In her cross-examination the witness said:
"I understand that what I did on toe land
was to Identify me with the land. I had
no Intention of deeding the land at th
time I filed on it."

vicinity. She made the filing as requested
and visited the land and related a Ilk ex
perience to that of Mrs. Copeland.
Letters written by the Modlsetts to her
were Introduced In evidence. On of these
stated:
After you have proved up, if you wuuld
like to sell, we will try to buy It. Your
land Is on our ranch."
Another letter said:
"When you come do not talk to news
paper men, as formerly, or some of them."
Other letters related to her claim being
on the township line and that there was an
excess of land upon It, but 'that the Modl
setts would pay for ths extra land without
further expense to her.
The first Witness of Monday afternoon
was George W. Cyphers of Valentine, who

With th arrest of Charles Bailey, Forty-
ninth and W streets, th pollc sre oonfl-'
dent they have at last taken th man who
has been responsible for several bold crime)'
of lata. H waa arrested by Captain Nela
Turnqulst and P. H. Shields. Th officers
visited tb place during th afternoon, hav
ing learned that Bailey was ther with
his parents. When the officers approached
Bailey hid behind a dresser, and th whole
family made a desperate attempt to keep
tb officers out of ths house. Th mother
stood In the door until It became necessary
to push her out of the way. When dis
covered Bailey put up a vicious fight for a
few minutes until hs could be overpowered.
Then he kept calling on the family to bring
him weapona to fight with. At last he
consented to accompany the officers without
the formality of a warrant, which he at
first demanded. He was lodged in jail as
a suspicious character.
Bailey Is a young man of strong build
and is said to have been sentenced to th
Iowa penitentiary for a year under th
vagrancy law. He was sent up from Sioux
City. Lately by the aid of his father he
was paroled. He came to South Omaha
under promise to get work and keep
straight. He has since lived with his par
ents. A few weeks ago he repaid the grati
tude of hla father by giving htm a beating.
The crimes for which he Is suspected are
the robbing of J. N. Burke's saloon at 330S
Julius Grimm at Thirtieth and U streets.
It is also suspected that he assisted Ralph,
or "Boots" Piper, In making way with a
$360 diamond brooch belonging to Mrs. G. A.
v.len.fnt. Twmty-flfth and I atresia. Th
police claim to have strong evidence against
him In these cases. There are several
witnesses who say they can identify the
man who was concerned in these robberies
and they will be brought to th jail to
testify as to th Identity of Bslley. The
father may decide to prosecute the boy for
the beating reoelved at his hands.
A Bloomqulst, who lives at Forty-fourth
and W streets, reported to the police yes
terday that his residence was entered Sat
urday night and a quantity of meat stolen.
This meat was cured hams and amounted
In value to $10. A gold ring was also taken.
This has a mark of identification If It can
In any way come before the eyes of the
poMce. As yet no one has fallen under
suspicion for this work.

Ol'R GROCERY STORKS.
oka M. Gordon tnym They are Wlth
oat KqssL
A very hearty endorsement of the char
acter of the clty'a grocery stores waa
given today by John M. Gordon of New
York, who Is stopping at the Her Grand
hotel. Mr. Gordon is one or the men of
Ideas who have helped to make popularity
for many of the best known food products,
and being se closely In touch with ths gro
cery trade, an indorsement from him Is
worthy of not.
While discussing the pure food laws. Mr.
Gordon said: "The grocers of this olty
are, as a whole, far-sighted business men,
who ur employing more buslnea acumen
in the operation of their stores and in the
buying of pur and wholesome food stuffs
than I have found among many of the
grocers in much larger cities. The stores
are clenn the line of goods carried is
mostly of high grade, and the-grocery men
do not seem to be of the kind that practice
the selling cf substitutes for the purest and
most wholesome manufactured articles.
"I make this statement knowingly, for
I am here In the Interest of an extract man
ufacturer and the grocers have seemed glad
of the opportunity to better the quullty
of their stock in this line. There is no
truer indication of their desire to serve
tho people honestly than is shown In the
purchase of high grade gooda of this
character, because deception In the extract
line Is easily accomplished and not easily
discovered by the housewife, unless she Is
served dally with one of the brands which
contain poisonous substitute and Is af
fected thereby.
"My work ip the past ha been prac
tically that of a promoter, for I have been
connected with th exploitation of food
stuSs to bring their merits particularly
before th attention of th housewife, and
la that connection I am offering a great
deal of ray best experience to the grocers
of this city In an effort to eliminate the
Influence of the mall order bouse and to
largely build up th business of the local
stores.
On of th best trained hone in the
world la used in A. H. Woods' thrilling
melodrama, "Ths Gambler of the West,"
which comes to th Krug theater for two
days engagement, beginning tonight. A
real, old-tlm stage coach, a oowboy band

the "drug habit."
" 'Peed, gem men, I caln't thank youall
enuff for sending me up. I don't got no
