Assistant' Attorney General S. R. Rush,
who will have charge of the trial of the
case for ' the government, then made an
analytical review of tha Indictment, stat
ing what the sjrorsrhrAent expected to prove,'
Which" was In 'substance the wvldence
would show that Perry A. Yeast and Harry
Sutton bad procured a number of old sol
diers from the Qulncjr (111.) Soldiers' home
to eater ' large tract of land In Grant
county and elsewhere, that the selection
of these lands wsa left wholly to Tsast
and Button and- that the soldiers had never
lived on the land, fror ' did they ever In
tend to; that a number of soldiers' wid
ows bad' beeri secured to make similar
filings with a like understanding; and that
these widows, or at least two of them,
had been, taken out to the vicinity jf the
lands . about thirty - days prior to making
final proof and that they were entertained
there by the defendants, who paid them
$1 per dsy while they were there; that the
w!dor ' and soldiers never brought any
personal property Onto tha land, nor did
they ever Intend to.
i The attorneys ' for the defendants are
- Messrs'. Ourley A. "Wood rough. In his

Charged that Mr, Rush might have made
a plainer statement of the real facts of

X. Clsm Deliver In charge of the tand-
seekers 'Information bureau of tha passen
ger department of the Burlington Is In
communication, with a Urge Wisconsin con
cern manufacturing a new pump which tha
pompany maintains should be able to revo
luttonlse the system et Irrigation In many
laces in the west, especially In Wyoming
where ell and coal for fuel may be had
t a slight cost.
"If this pump will do what the firm
hums it will do' K should be able lmmedl
gtelr to throw open thousands of acres of
valuable land to cultivation," said Mr. Dea
er. "The pump has new features by which
It is able to lift an enormous amount of
water at a small expenditure of power.
They claim they- rn lift twice aa much
water ae four times the aame amount of
power would lift with any othsr pump.
"If they eaa carry out their claims It will
be easy -to and plenty of land on which to
work' tbelr pumps. In western Nebraska
there 'are Immense 'stretches of land on
whloh water might be pumped from neigh
soring .streams with Just such a pump
Itiey Say they can lift water from a depth
of 'seveaty-flve feet and carry It aa high
as necessary- - The water will not have to
be lifted any such height. Soms of ths
greatest fruit lands of the world can be ir
rigated'' by - such a machine. There are
. stretches -1M Wyoming.- completely ' sur
rounded and' protected by mountains which
would respond rapidly - to such Irrigation
and which from ths nature of the soil
wtxild be great fruit producing land."
