A profound enatlon has been created ' amoni ranchmen and stockmen, not only of Wyoming, but of Colorado and other western states, by the official announce ment Just mad hare by H. II. BVhwarti, chief of the fielA division of the United States land office, that hereafter It would be the policy of the government to proced criminally, rather than by civil aulti, In Illegal fencing cases. For the last three yeara Investigation of Illegal fences have been going on In western states Numerous order have been Issued, the stockmen have been granted extensions of time In which to remove their fences, and during the last six months, during which the Investigation has been carried on In earnest, a large number of civil suits have been Instituted. Illegal fencers have com to re' this as the only course to be adoi 'hv govern- ment, and where fenc been re rted, the Seh s the 'ist 'I- niv.tu, irivu nulla iiftviiis . ults were dismissed. 'K. .

Who the d ants will he In these cases I a govern, .it secret, which the official are religiously keeping, but certain It Is that It will Include many of the most prominent residents of Wyoming, and that the next session of the federal grand Jury In Cheyenne will be the most sensational ever held here, the recent action against the coal land grabbers paling Into Insignificance beside It. It has been the policy of District At torney T. F. Buike to proceed against the offender with civil suits rather than criminal prosecutions. But it Is learned that this policy will no longer be pursued; that the ranchmen and stockmen have had sufficient notice, and that In the future Illegal fencing will be punished by criminal prosecutions. That this policy Is to be rigidly carried out 1 evidenced by the an nouncement of Mr. Sen warts that already twelve criminal case have been prepared and are ready to be submitted before the nexf grand Jury and that fully seventy-five more are In course of preparation.

The first annual festival held last fall was a much greater success than anticipated, and there Is little doubt that this year's festival will be even more uc cessful. Or.e of tile strong features of the festival will be the presence of a leading hand of tie east, but Just which musical orstnlxstlon will be engaged ha not yet been fully determined. Other attraction are being booked for the week the festival will continue. One of the most successful features of the festival last year was the display of grains, grasses, fruits and veg etables. This feature will be enlarged upon this year and more than double the amount of cash premiums will be offered. A num ber of free attractlona will be provided by th committee which ha chargo of the arrangements for the festival.

July 27-Speolal.)-The clash between the state and federal au thorities In North Carolina growing out of the enforcement of the 2-cent rate law In that state ha brought about In an unex pected manner the attention of the country to the fact that the rights of the state In the execution of their law shall be para mount or else those who administer the law of the several states shall know the reason why.

In order to make their case, were accepting and putting Into effect an Interstate rate of 2, 2, or -cent rates, a. the several state legislatures had decreed namely, confiscation of property. Kverythlng seemed to be clear sailing: the railways were preparing to take their complaints to the supreme court of the state In the most direct way and In the event of the legislative act being upheld by certification to the supreme court direct upon the broad question whether the con- gress of the United States had the power to say what rate should be charged with interatate and whether the present amended Insterstate commerce act was constitu- tlonal. The administration felt no fear of the outcome and everything was moving along In an orderly manner when the North Carolina case loomed up large upon the horizon. Governor Glean Start Tronble. Here was a new phase which the ad ministration people had not anticipated. And a It look now promises to be of serious consequence to those who believe that the government Is more powerful than that state within certain well defined lines. Governor Glenn of North Carolina, after the passage of the act by the North Caro lina legislature providing for a 2-cent rate on the railroads In that state and mak ing It a misdemeanor on the part of the railroad companies failing to put the rate Into effect with a fine that In the judgment of the court should be ample, directed the legal authorities of his state to Impose a fine of 130,000 on the Bouthern Railway company, one of the great railway corpora, tlon of the outh, because Ms officer had refused to put the rate Into effect pending a Judicial review, and sentenced two of It representative of the passenger depart ment to hard work on th "rock pile" and In the chain gang for thirty day. Th legal department of th Southern Railway, believing that a gross Injustice was being done the local representatives of their railroad who had no power what soever to pay the fine Imposed upon that railroad by the legal authorities of North Carolina, applied to the circuit court, over which Judge Prltchard presides, for a writ of habeas corpus In order that the merits of the case might be argued impartially.

HOT ROAST F0R PRITCHARD Governor of Virginia Asserts Order f Jndge "nhvemlv f Liberty. RICHMOND. Va., July 28 The Tlmes- i ..'i.imiich. in an interview louay wun uov ernor Swanson of Virginia, give his po- sltion regarding the railroad rate situation In this state. The governor says the case In Virginia I different from that In North Carolina, as no law establishing rates In this state haa yet been perfected and that the paramount authority for fixing rates Is vested In the corporation commission, which Judge Prltchard recently enjoined from publishing Its order for a uniform l-cent rate. The governor says tliat under Judge Prlteh.rd's Injunction the Commis sion was prevented from "perfecting the third act necessary to fixing the rate' (publication thereof), and that thus theref"""1 melrly B,onK ,h, 1,nMI already In- Is no 2-cent law In Virginia today. Under the constitution, said Governor Swanson, In order for the commission to fix a rate it must take three necessarv steps, viz.: j Give notice to the transportation companies I to appear; second, give a hearing and enter I an order; third, publish the order four I weeks before It can take effect. "T.he order of Judge Prltchard in the Vir ginia case Is outrageous." pays Governor Swanson. "Ho says the flxlnir nf h,.i by the corporation commission Is a legls- Utlve act and yet he restrains this Wi. body In Virginia from doing what abso.ute.y necessary to complete an act ' "r constitution. The corporation commission I. paramount to the general assembly of Virginia in fixing ; rates. If Judge tritch.rd can enjoin the , corporation commission from performing ha 1 tlonal.

Jf0RK COUNTY PAPERS ON ISSUE Grand Island Independent es Ont the Reasons for the Candidacy of Judge Reese for the Position. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb.. July 2S.-(8pecial.) The preliminary campaigning for the can didate who want to head the republican state ticket at the coming primaries 1 dlcated. The opposing press bureau are keeping busy running up their preferred candidate and running down the opponent, althought the Reese advocates' seeem to he doing most of the mud-sllnglng, while the Sedgwick boosters are contenting them selves with exploiting the claims of the outgoing Judge to re-election. Neither side seems to be particularly pleased with what The Hee Ims printed with respect to the underground circuits behind the batteries and the wire-pulling under the surface for the H.5O0 United States Internal . revenue collectorshlp and the fat Job of clerk of the supreme court. The facts previously disclosed are verified, however, by a statement made by T. E. Sedgwick, a brother of the Judge, In his York Times, "telling the simple truth about the situation" for the benefit of publican state central committee, was a candidate for the position of clerk of the supreme court. He had strong Indorse ment and enrnest supporters. Moreover, he was considered a competent man for the position and the judges looked upon him as an available man. But Hon. H. O. Lindsay was proposed, he had been chair man of the republican state committee for four years and devoted ills time and for tune to the work of building up the repub lican party in the state and bring It to Its present position. He Is a lawyer of large experince. a bard worker and an aaree nhle man to meet, and is In every way an ideal man for the position. He belonged to no faction of the party but se;ceeded In winning four republican victories by uniting the parly, discountenancing factions and making every repuhllean feel that he was needed and was welcome. The de mand tor Mr. Lindsay by the press and the rank and Hie of the party was irre sistible and be wus appointed to the po sition coveted by Mr. Rose. Since that time the latter has been trying to under mine Judge Sedgwick and has repeatedly said he would show him how It feels to be deefated. Of course It was necessary first to have a candidate and overtures were inadx to several eminent lawyers all of whom declined to be a candidate against Judge Sedgwick. Finally Judge Reese was approached. He had declared for Judge Sedgwick, or at least told those who ap proached him he was in favor of the pres ent Incumbent. However, he waa finally perfiuaded to allow hla name to be uaed and the campaign wa launched. A batch of matter was prepared, entirely regard less of facts and cunningly calculated to deceive the unsophisticated, and wa pub lished In a county paper In the North Platte. The "press bureau papers" were enlisted and took it up and a dosen or more papers that always reflent th wishes of a small coterie of office-holders in Lincoln, have lent themselves to th assistance of Mr. Rose In his effort to defeat . Judge Sedgwick. . Itnntlon In York Comity. Another Interesting sidelight Is thrown by the York Republican, which has always been known as an arch reform paper, run by W. B. Dayton, and constantly fighting the York Times, run by Judge Sedgwick's brother. Editor Dayton, under the caption, "In the Name of Justice," decline to fall in with the other members of the old press bureau, and not only declares for Judge Sedgwick, but resents th accusation of corporate subserviency made against him by friends of Judge Reeso, as follows: York county republicans will be for Judge Sedgwick, because he has done proctlcally all the work of his life hero, and because, when he was a lawyer among ua, he was recognized as a conscientious and able practitioner one of the big figures at the .! ......... . ..... ... ,,t uiB IIKMI .

The desire of the association Is to hold this show In Omaha. The one last winter was held In South Omaha and the asso ciation. In fact.

The mem bers are energetically sirlving to Increase the membership and extend the cop of the association. They have no outside monetary resources, but must depend en tirely for appropriations upon what they "dig out of their own pockets." The or ganization being practically a new one and yet small. Is not equipped with an ex tensive treasury, but Its purposes are such that Its members feel warranted In seeking further strength from thoae who might well enter the association. Just where the show may he held In Omaha Is not certain. Borne have sug gested the Auditorium, but the association Is not large enough, Mr. Talbot say, for that Just yet. He and others bop it will be soon. BOY FOOT CAI7GHT IN THRBKHKR Man Who See Arrldent saves Lad' Life by tvlrk Action. TECUMBEH. Neb., July 2R. tSpeclal.)

COUET SETS HIM AT LIBERTY Ooe First to the Bedside of His Ajed Mother in Hospital. NOW AT HOME WITH HIS FAMILY Verdict Causes Him for First Time t Break His Stoical Attitude. OPINIONS OF COUNSEL AND JUEY Governor Gooding Announces that Contrary tn Kxpertatlon Moyer, Pettlbone nnd Adam. Will Be Tried. BOISE, Idaho. July ai.-Into the bright sunlight of a beautiful Sahtxith morning, into the stillnese of a city drowsy with th la y slumbers of a sunimor Sunday, William D. Haywood, defendant In ono of th. most noted trials Involving conspiracy and mur der that the country has ever known, walked today a free man, acquitted of th murder of former Oovernor Frank Steunen- berg. The probability of a verdict of acquittal In the case of the secretary-treasurer and acknowledged leader of the Western Fed eration of Mlnera had been freely predicted lnce yesterday, when Judge Fremont Wood read hi charge, which was regarded aa strongly favoring the defense In Its In terpretation of the laws of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence and the corrobora tion of an accomplice who confesses. It waa also freely predicted that In th event of Haywood's acquittal the atata would abandon the prosecution of his as sociates, Charles H. Moyer, the president of the federation, and Oeorg A. Pettlbon of Denver. Statements from counsel and from Governor Gooding Issued today dispel this view of the sltuution. Governor Good ing said: "The verdict ls a great surprise to me, and I believe to all citizens of Idaho who have heard or read the evidence In tha case, "I have done my duty. I have no regret aa to any notion I have taken, and my conscience is clear. As long a God gives) me strength I shall continue my efforta for government by law and for organised society. "The stat will continue a vigorous prose cutlon of Moyer and Pettlbone and Adam and of Slmpkins, when the latter ls ap prehended. There will be neither- hesita tion nor retreat." Will Apply for Ball. Application will be made to Judge Wood tomorrow morning to admit Moyer and Pettlbone to ball, and It was said tonight that In the case of Moyer, agslnst 'whom tha atate la admitted to have It weakest case, a favorable consideration would not be unexpected. Not the least Interesting of the com ment made upon the verdict today wa that of Harry Orchard, the self-confessed murderer of Governor Steunenherg and tho witness upon whom the state chiefly relied to prove Its claim of a conspiracy on th part of the Western Federation of Miners. When told at the state penitentiary that Haywood had been acquitted. Orchard said: "Well, I have done my duty. I hav told the truth. I could do no more. I am ready to take any punishment that may be meted out to me for my crime, and the aooner It comes the better." It was after being out for twenty-one hours that the Jury, which at first had been divided, S to 4, and thnn seemed deadlocked at 10 to 2, Anally came to an agreement shortly after the first faint stresks of the cotnng day showed gray above the giant hills which wall Boise to the north and east. Th weary, snow bearded old bailiff who had kept an all night vigil before the door of the Jury room, wa startled Into action by an Imperative knock from within. Events moved rapidly enough after this, and when at last th principal actors In the trial had been gath ered Into the court room at a few mo-' naenta before 8 o'clock the white envelop handed by the foreman to the Judge waa torn open and the verdict read. Tear In Haywood'. Kyes.

Haywood attorney were fairly lifted from their eats, and Judge Woods made no effort to restrain them as they surrounded him to shak his hands and shout aloud their con gratulations. James H. Hawley, leading counsel for the state, and O. N. Van Duyn, the prosecuting attorney of the county Irl which former Governor Bteunenberg wa assassinated, sat gloomy and unspnaklng In their places. Sunutor Borah, who mad th closing plea for conviction, waa not present. Of the prisoner counsel those In the court room were Clarence Darrow of Chicago. E. F. Richardson of Denver and John F. Nugent of Boise. The ab aenteea from the defendant s table Included Edgar Wilson, the former law partner of JudKe Wood, who presided at the trial. No member of the prisoner's family, or any of 1.1. friends among the socialist writers and the so-called labor Jury, who have been attending the trial, was In the court room at the early hour the verdict was rendered. The spectators' benohe were empty, but tn the doorway stood Oov ernor Frank Gooding, who ha. taken an active part In pressing the proaecutlon f Haywood and his associates. There wa no demonstration other than that made by the attorneys for the defense, and the court proceeding, were over, the prisoner had been discharged and the Jury dis missed for the term In less than three min. utes time.
