They Free Their Minds in Ben Baker's Office—What Inter- | ested Parties Tell of the Afair. A dozen Dawes county farmers and several - busivess men of Crawford held sn informal | rec in United States Attorney Bakor's office yesterday alternoon and proceeded to | relieve therr minds concerning the indict- ! ments found by the grand jury against | four of the citizens of that iem with cutting timber on gov whom the in- dictments were re day and were auxious called and get through so they cou home to their fields, which just at this ticular season t learned frow that there w which their c deed, it see would be - ers, bad tol ting $ apis b work up.

He said 1t was not his desire or intention to prosecute farmers or settlers who simply cuta few loaas of timber for wood or to fence their farms, but where men had made a business of cutting timber on government lands and bauling it to market it became his duty as a representative of the United States govern- ment o prosecute such people to the full ex- tent of the law. Stricken from the Docket. Judge Duady, at cne fell swoop struck the famous Helfenstein cases from the docket yesterday. It is the general understanding that the at- torueys for the Helfenstein devisees will soon ‘begin suits against the owners of propert. the district affected by the Helfenstein claim nd proceed &s before, The only effect of the sction of the court in striking the cases from the docket will be 10 cause the plaintiff to pay all the costs in the case, but this itself is no small matter, as Lue costs ag- gregate several hundred dollars. A number of prisoners who had been in 3uil for some time were arraigned ov indict- uents returned by the grand jury. Frank C. Cushman, a son of Dr. Cushman of Stromsvurg, was arraigned to plead to three bills charging him with counterfeiting. He pleaded not guilty. Josepn H.

Mr. O'Rourke was of the opinion that the matter did not lie with the mayor and ci council, but between Tne Ber and Worl Herald. He wanted to know why the mat- ter wasn't decided in Omaba. “It was decided in Omaba,” said Mr. Rose- water, “and Tne BEx was declared to be the paper having toe largest circulation in the county. The boara of fire and police com- issioners instructed their clerk to that ef- fect, and no license will be granted unless the notices are advertised in Tue Bee as the legal paper.” This did not_suit Mr. Haley, and he roared again.
