POLITICS IN MOVE TO OUST
Latest Theory of the Secret Schema
to Pat Park Board Members
- Oat of Office.
Politics Is said to be at the bottom of
the move to oust tho Park board and the
petition to take the appointive power out
of the hands of the mayor end put It back
Into the province of the district judges,
The board Is composed of five members,
three of whom are republicans, two demo
crats. Aa the mayor Is a democrat. It Is
srgued. that In all likelihood he would ap
point a democrat to till the vacancy which
will occur next May, and the political com
plexlon of the board would then be changed.
Another matter which also Is said to
he close to the bottom of the case is the
Cut-off lake park proposition. It transpires
that some individual haa offered to donate
the aum of $50,000 to 'the Park board, pro.
vlumg the Doara appraisers hold the ap
praisement of landa adjoining the lake at
certain figure. Certain wealthy Interests
are said to be balking the Cut-off lake
park work, and theso Interests, together
with the JTjO.OOO donation proposition, are
figured largely in the petition to dust the
Park board commissioners. The claim that
the board la not a duly constituted body,
and that the members were wrongfully ap
pointed la the claim which Is put upper
most In the potitlon.

LAND GRAFT NIPPED IN BUD
Coloaaal Fraid Set In Indianapolis Ex
posed la Nebraska Territory
la Near Valentine.
That a smooth land graft scheme Is be
ing worked up In the vicinity of Valentine
has Just developed through the Inquiry of
eastern parties, who have bit at the
scheme, asking for results.
The Fort Niobrara military reservation
has been the base of operations and the
operators have been working the game
from Indianapolis. The scheme was to sell
section and section and a half parcels ot
land at a stiff figure In townships 33 and
84, range 27, (of which the Fort Niobrara
reservation la largely composed) In north
ern Nebraska to Innocent purchasers. They
were furnished abstracts of title from the
alleged "Public Abstracter of the State ot
Nebraska," who gave the name of Carl
Henry Schultx. These lands are alleged to
have been patented under the Klnka'd law
during 1903 and were for full section tracts.
comprising 640 acres. The Intermediary In
the scheme was an Indianapolis realty
firm giving the name of HunFlcker & Reed
and the firm did a thriving business.
The lands were sold for grazing purposes
and it is only within the last week or two
the Innocent purchasers have realised they
were the victims of a colossal fake.
In the first place, the Fort Niobrara has
not been thrown open for settlement, but
Is still under the control ot the War
department, and in the second place, there
Is no such an official In Nebraska as the
"publlo abstracter." In the third place.
deeds purporting to be given under patents
procured under the Klnkaid law In 1903
are fakes pure and simple, from the fact
that the Klnkaid law did not become
operative until June, 1904.
Judge F. M. Wolcott of Valentine, now
In Omaha as chairman of the Cherry county
delegation to the republican state conven
tion, said:
The fraud la one of the most brazen
faced ever practiced In the state. -. The
scheme seems to have originated In In
dianapolis, and already we are being be
sieged up there by Inquiries from Inno
cent purchasers of these lands. The. ab
stracts are made out in the usual form and
seem to be legal In appearance, but are
Invariably signed by the alleged publlo
abstracter, and at! are located on the Fort
Niobrara military reservation. The atten
tion of the federal government has been
called to the matter, but-as the fraud
does not alienate the lands from the gov
ernment. It Is up to the stata authorities to
take cognizance in the matter.' '

One of the most Important changes In the

The Union Pacific Is still swinging Its
sxe of economy and heads are falling Into
the basket with regularity. Other heads
are displaying remarkable agility In duck
ing the blows, but they are resting as
uneasy as those that wear the crowns.
Another material reduction lit shop forces
haa been made. The men marclied up to
the local treasurer's office Tuesday morn
ing and drew their little envelopes. It was
a melancholy procession, much unlike that
which usually passes out from the money
department, counting the, contents of the

tlon of the little addition to the bank ac

Coast to Coast for Gool'.
The Wabash railroad haa announced a
through routing for freight from Kansas
City and St. Louis to Baltimore. The
plans for the through route to the east
were begun about the same time as the
construction of the Western Pacific to the
coast, so It looks as though the Gould In
terests would soon have a through Hue
from coast to coast.
Omaha will thus have a through route to
the coast by the Wabash through St.
Louis. The route Is by means of the Wa
bash lines through Bruceton, Pa., and by
the Baltimore & Ohio, 167 miles to Cum
berland, Md., where connection Is made
with the Western Maryland company.
Later the line will be opened for through
passenger service.
In recent years no railroad has
been watched with more Interest
than the Gould roads in their efforts to
build from coast to coast. The purchase
of the Wheeling A Lake Erie railroad gave
the Wabash a line from Toledo to Steuben
vllle, from which point the line was ex
tended , to PitUburg. The Western Mary
land extends from Cherry Run, Md., to
Baltimore. The Gould Interests are now
building between Cherry Run and Pitts
burg. The purchase of the Wheeling A
Lake Erie also gave the Wabash a line
from Cleveland to Zanesvllle, O.
Work is progressing rapidly on all these
new lines, the Gould Interests economising
In all branches of the service to secure
money for new construction.
