TWO BOYS FROM MULLEN
RIDE TO ESCAPE FATHER
Yonaaratera Take Look Overland Trip
to Avoid Drndarry of
Ranch Life.
VALENTINE, Neb., Feb. 22.-8peelal.)-The
Abernathy twine, who rode from Okla-
"" i" iew i or vity, nave little on
Cyrus and Byron rowcll of this county,
two small youngsters aged 11 and 12 years,
who arrived here lata Saturday night after
having ridden 160 miles In about three days
and spending two nights out on the open
prairie with nothing for a bed except a
saddle blanket apiece and no companions
except the wandering coyote.
About a year ago complaint was filed
against Thomas Dowell, a ranchman liv
ing near Mullen, , Neb.. ' in the southern
part of tha county, for not sending his two
boys to school. Ha waa arrested on this
charge and the boy and their father were
brought to town. Tha boyg told a most
pitiful story of abuse, and how they were
made to herd cattle all day with only cold
meals, wblla the father went in to warm
food, and also how they were beaten when
ever they resented guch treatment On a
promise of sending tha boya to school and
treating them good tha . father waa ra
leased and given cuetody of his children.
But once more at home the overwork and
abuse waa continued. The boyg wera forced
to get up at 8 and 4 o'clock In the morning
and work all day herding cattle and far
into tha tilght, even after tha hire men
wera all abed. The little fellowa have been
doing men s work ,and mora. .
During the summer the little chaps tried
to run away,' but wera caught before they
could make good their escape. But last
Sunday, a week ago, they decided to jnake
another attempt, and leaving their herd
at noon they started south, and ones they
spied their - father across a valley and
whipped up their horses Into a run and for
several miles there waa a hot chase, but
the father failed to catch them. That night
tha boys made their bed on tha prairie.
Tha next day they arrived at Mullen, hav
ing taken a circuitous route. From Mullen
they rods to llecla. Neb., and from there
across country to Valentin, a distance of
seventy-flva miles, through tha sand hills.
That night they again camped in tha open
prairie, but managed to find a bay stack
to sleep In, where they said they managed
to keep warmer. On tha rest of the Jour
ney they wera sheltered and directed on
the way by sympathetic ranchmen.
Upon arriving in Valentine they started
out to find County Judge Qulgley and
County Attorney Tucker, who had looked
after their needa a year ago. Today At
torney Tucker fitted them out with new
clothea complete.
The boys are very anxious to go to
school, having attended school only for a
couple of weeks in all their lives, the rest
of the time being compelled to herd cattle.
They were started in school ,here today,
not aven knowing their letters.
Attorney Tucker says they will be looked
after and kept in achool from now on, and
that their father will be mad to pay their
way, as be la well-to-do.

WASHINGTON. Feb. E.-The pulp and
paper clause of the agreement was de
fended before the finance committee of the
senate today by John Norris. chairman of
the paper committee of the American
Newspaper Publishers', association. He
elaborated the agreements which Jie pre
sented In the same behalf before the ways
and means committee of the house, declar
ing that he spoke for daily newspapers,
"which pay $".000,000 pes annum for their
print paper, Sfi.000.000 more than they would
pay If normal conditions were permitted."
Me dwelt especially upon th following
points:
The Increase of SI.B0 per ton In the price
of print paper by paper makers since the
enactment of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff, not
withstanding the reduction of S2.2S per ton
In the duty; the Increase of price from $-"2
to ttS per ton since thirty-two mills were
merged Into the International Paper com
pany; the alleged effort of paper makers
to "starve the market" and Increase prices;
tha complete dependence upon Canada for
pulp wood to keep th American paper
mills going; the Inaccurate character of In
formation supplied to senators about th
supply of pulp wood In various parts of the
United States; the somewhat higher labor
cost In Canada of making a ton of print
paper; the ability of American mills to
make paper cheaper than can the Cana
dian; the failure of bulldozing methods to
obtain pulp wood from Canada, and the ef
fective application of the paper clause In
the pending agreement to the serious sit-'
nation now confronting American paper
users.
Combine Advances PHeea.
Mr. Norris submitted an extensive array
of exhibits In support of his arguments.
These Included much that was brought be
fore the ways and means committee re
cently and also Important material which
he said he submitted to the congressional
committees In 1909.
"During July, August and September
last," Mr. Norris said, "the larger paper
companies refused to quote any prices for
the year 1911. Subsequently an agreed and
uniform price of 46 per ton was demanded
by them. The largest user of print paper
In the United States, whose contract will
soon expire, will probably pay an advance
of S600.O00 per annum upon his present price.
Large newspapers whose contracts are ex
piring are unable to obtain bids at any
price except from the mill now supplying
them.
"What else cen we expect when congrea
fattens and fosters concerns like the Inter
national Paper company, which gathered
together thirty-two mills, most of which
wer tributary" to denuded timber tracts
and to exhausted water courses? It con
solidated them Into what Is now a SC9.O0O.O0O
corporation, most of Its capitalization rep
resenting wster. It took over 111 paper
machines, but In now operating less than
sixty-seven paper machines. In thirteen

half of the machines were then out of date.

International Taper company has used Its
funds to speculate In wood lands, so that
today It controls between 1,000 and 7,000
square miles of timber tracts, and Is flirt
ing with the provincial government of
Quebeo about the location of paper plants
in that section. It ha three times the
wood land necessary for a perpetual sup
ply of wood to provide Its present produc
tion. Its report before a congressional
committee figured that these lands were
worth tl3.492.S15 and that the company had
made 110.000,000 on the appreciated value of
Its wood land holdings. To strengthen Its

Reiterating his former assertions thst
tariff coddling had enervated American pa
per makers until now they converted Into
paper only (17 per cent of the wood reach

"Put th American paper makers In posi

start them upon conditions which win en

world and to realize that dream which the
organiser of the International Paper com
