THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, —_— ' ' No Farming Done | Noras In Dodge County Civil War Veteran Becomes Citizen North Platte, Neb., June 28.—(Spe- cial.)—]. W. Cockran, civil war sol dier and veteran railroad man, has just taken out final papers and proved up | on a homestead twenty-two miles north of Sutherland, a small town near here. Cockran, when he was dis- charged from his company at the close of the civil war, came to Nebraska. He was employed by the Union Pa- cific, and for a time was onc of the men who sawed logs into proper length for feeding the old woodburner engines that at that time-drew the! trains over the great pioneer road. He was in the employ of the Union Pacific in 1867 when a band of hostile Indians wrecked the train at Plum Creek station and attacked the train- men. He recalls the first stories of the disaster that came to North Platte, of the death of Conductor Kinney and of how Dave Perry died under his engine. Also the story of Thompson, the Englishman who scalped by the Indians and left for dead on the field, regained conscious- ness and walked four miles for aid. Cockran, having proved up on his homestead, plans to spend the re- maipder of his days on his farm, Laundry Building And Bakery Burned At the Genoa School Columbus, Neb., June 28.—(Special Telegram.)—Last evening at 5 o’clock the laundry and bakery buildings at the Genoa Indian school were en- tirely destroyed by fire, the contents of both buildings being a total loss, although covered by insurance. The cause was a defective flue which was not woticed until the flames broke out, too late to save any of the buildings. Several of th einmates who were working in the buildings at the time lost all their belongings. It is estimated that the total loss will amount to about $10,000 to the gov- ernment. It did not matter much about the laundry burning, as a new building had been erected and new machinery had been installed. The burning of | the bakery made it a little incon- venient for a few hours, but home bakeries today are furnishing all the bread that is used at the government school, Agree to Arbitrate, London, June 28. — The British and at Carter Lake. Swedish governments have agreed to sub- mit to {nternational arbitration after the war the question of the legality of British selzures of postal parcels, according to a Reuter dispatch from Stockholm today. These Warm Days I'here isn't much farming being done these days i Dodge county, Nebrasha FFor, be 1t known, Joe Stecher is conducting 4 training camp out in Dodge county. and for about fourteen hours a day every man, woman and child in the county is at the training camp. The young bucks of the county who became innoculated with the “rasslin” bug a couple of years ago when Stecher started his comet-like charge through the wrestling sky, have been working out with Stecher at the camp —or, rather, Stecher has been working out with them. Joe takes 'em all on, one right after the other, and one continual how! for help that can be heard clear to Fremont constantly emanates from the camp. A letter from Joe Hetmanek, Stech- er's business boss, conveys the in- formation that Joe is working his head off for his match with Lewis in Omaha July 4. “Joc mnever trained for a match like he is training for this bout,” says Hetmanek. “He believes in preparedness and will sure be pre- pa‘rcdv‘m give Mr. Lewis a good trim- ming. U. 8, Supreme Court Reverses [tself An unique court decision, one in which the United States supreme court has flatly reversed itself, is re- vealed in that tribunal’s decision in the case of United States against Fred Nice, the syllabus of which has just been received here. This deci- sion holds that an Indian is not a citizen even though he holds an al- lotment of land and that, therefore, sale of liquor to such an Indian is a violation of the law. In the Heff case, decided April 10, 1905, the court held that sale of liquor to an Indian holding land was not a violation of the law, because the In- dian became a citizen when he got the land. Since the first decision congress passed the Bourke act, providing that in all allotments of land to Indians the government held the land in trust and was the guardian of the Indians. — .\ Despondent Man Endeavors To Drown at Municipal Beach | Ralph ‘Bennet, 2135 Avenue D, Council Bluffs, sought to drown him- self in the municipal swimming pool He was saved by William Sheppard, Seventeenth and Clark streets, who dragged him from the water.
