YANKEES RUSTLERS IN PLATTE JAIL Three Alleged Ring Leaders of Gang Op- |“ *™ *** “"“™ erating Wyoming on Extensive Scale Are Held at Wheatland Three men who are thought to be the brains of a Ying of | cattle rustlers who have been taking cattle from the bands of Wyoming and especially from the bands of Platte county for the past five years have been arrested during the past week on the advice of State Law Enforcement Officer Roach. | The men are Sam Covington, who has been released on! $6,000 bond, T. B. Gonson and J. A. Harwood, who are retained in the Platte County jail at Wheatland. Covington and Hawes have figured in court before. ‘The first indication that any cattie rustling was Going on, outside of the the generally acknowledged disap- pearance of cattle, was inst week when inepsotion officers ‘noticed that four steers seemed to possess brands that had been tampered with. These were finally feentified as rightfully belonging to T, B. Hawes and Max Bhert, large cattle owners of Platte county. On further investigation, T, E. Gonson and J. A. Harwood were ar- rested. Three head of catth were found in Harwood's corral which were | proven to belong to other people. Other reported losses at the same time caused the authorities to wire to Omaha and instruct the stockyards: there to keep the hides of the last shipment of cattle until they couid be examined further. Deputy Sheriff Couleman went at once to Omaha, and with the ald of the inspectors of the stockyards, found 25 hides that possessed altered brands. Authorities believe that snough evi- dence is in existence to convict the men under suspicion, Thay also be- lieve that cattle rustling in Wyoming has been to a large extent broken up| because of the arrest of thess men. SALT CREEK GAS PLANT SAVED BY EFFICIENT FIRE FIGHTING What might have otherwise proved a disastrous fire was through the heroic efforts of employes, averted at the Midwest gas’ plant in Salt Creek last night when a battery of underground storage tanks became ignited from some unknown cause. ‘The fire wan discovered about 10:30 in the tanks in which the casing head gasoline is storel »-fore turning to the pipeline. The alarm was sounded immediately, the flow- shut down and at 2 o'clock this morning the flames had been!completeiy smothered, the No. 2 anc 3 plants resuming vpera-| tions at 3:45, Tt has not yet been determined | what caused tho blase although it fs presumed that in .eome. manner « spark came in contact with the gas. The only acoldent occurring during the confiagration was the painful but not serious burning of the right hand of the pumper on duty. The is estimated at from $2,000 to $3,000 in addition to the loss sustained by shutting down the plant for a num- ber of hours.

Some of the president’s friends were understood to be making an informal canvass in the senate in the hope of counting enough votes to prevent the overriding of the | veto there. The result now was regarded as doubtful with some friends and foes alike declaring there could | not be a definite ae in advance of the actual roll | call. The number of senators may decide the issue, although it was said fort would be made to obtai cluding those senators in Europe who were not paired in the vote August 31, when the senate passed the bill, 47 to 22. absent when the vote comes at every ef- in pairs for all absentees in- House managers of the bonus were understood to be | prepared to move promptly after receipt of a veto mes- sage to re-pass the bill and were confident that more than the required two-thirds majority could be obtained.
