For Congressman 7th District,

of Harvey County.
The Populist State Convention
will meet at Topeka June 24.
The beef trust continues to do
business, regardless of the pros'
editions.
President Palma of Cuba was
inaugurated Tuesday, May 20,
as first president of the Repub
lic of Cuba.
D. R. Anthony, editor of The
Leavenworth Times, is a prom
inent candidate for Commander
of the Kansas G. A. R. Encamp
ment.
Senator Harris, of Kansas, is
one of the ablest men in the Sen
ate. He is a true representative
of the people and will be return
ed to that body if there is a fus
ion Legislature..
Where would Cuban reciproci
ty laeded, had it not been for the
Democrats and Populists in Con
gress? This is one time they
stood by the President, but the
President happened to be right.
We notice that The American
Book Co. has got its graft on the
Kansas School Text Book Com
mission and secured the cream
of the contracts for furnishing
school books in this state. This
company had a strong lobby of
its representatives in Topeka
last week. Crane & Co. have in
slituted proceedings to annul
their contracts. If the people of
Kansas want these gigantic cor
porations shut out 'from doing
business in the state they must
elect a fusion legislature. The
Populist Legislature of 1897
made the corporations hop to
such an extent that they spend
unlimited amounts todef eat them
lor re-election.
Row Between Ranchmen and Farm-
era In Northwest Kansas.
Special from At wood, Ks., to Wichita Beacon.
The settlers of this section of
Kansas are all wrought up over
the encoachment of big cattle
ranches, and an armed outbreak
is threatened. The trouble has
already reached such a stage
that armed companies of settlers
are riding the country looking
for owners of the big ranches,
and it is likely the state militia
will have to be called out to pre
serve order. In the early days
of northwestern Kansas thous
ands of settlers came here and
took homesteads. Many of them
left after the boom collapsed but
a good per cent remained in and
"proved up." About fiye years
ago big cattlemen from other sec
tions began to drift in here and
establish ranches.' They grad
ually bought up lands, until to
day nearly all the lands in Raw
lins and Cheyenne counties and
much in northwestern Thomas
and northeastern Sherman court
ties have been acquired.
In making their purchases the
ranchmen always off ered settlers
good prices for their farms, im
orovements and all. If the set
tlers refused to sell, then the
ranchmen would buy all the land
surrounding them and run fences
around their farms. This shut
the farmers out from the adjoin
ing range, which they had used
for years, unmolested and with
out cost. The ranchmen have
been increasing their holdings so
rapidly during the past twoyears
that the settlers have become en
raged. They believe that it has
reached a point now where they
must fight and they are getting
ready to do so. They have done
some skirmishingalready. They
will not resort to law, but to arms.
Within the past month enough
arms and ammunition have been
shipped into this section to equip
a good sized army. Secret or
ganizations have been effected by
the settlers in the various com
munities and arms and ammuni
tion have been issued to each
member. The ranchmen them
selves at first issued an order
that none of their employes
should go armed. But the con
dition is such now that the order
has not only been reached, but
the ranchmen themselves have
supplied their men with arms.
Nearley every broncho buster
and settler in this section now
goes armed to the teeth and
troubly cannot long be averted.
The company of settlers near
this place is composed of over
100 men all used to frontier life.
and men who. were never known
to show the white feather in a
tight. The cowboys employed
by the ranchmen are also "wild
and wooly."
It looked as though the war
would open on the C. P. Dewey
ranch a few days ago. Mr. Dew
ey is a Chicago capitalist, who
has become interested in the
ranch business. He owns two
ranches in Kansas. One of 12,
000 acres is located near Manhat
tan, Kansas. Mr. Dewey spends
a considerable portion of his time
there during the summer. He
entertains big crowds of eastern
friends there. In the winter he
stays in Chicago. The other
Dewey ranch is located in Raw
lins, Sherman and Cheyenne
counties. It contains over 100,
000 acres and is being enlarged
as fast as Mr. Dewey can buy
adjoining land. If he can't buy
every quarter that he wants, he
simply buys the land around it
and then fences it in. However,
he always offers first to give the
settler a fair price for his claim
When the Siegcl-Sanders Com
mission Co., of Kansas City,
went to pieces, Frank Rockefel
ler took the Siegel-Sanders ranch
here. It is compbsed of about
sixteen sections of land. The
Rockefeller ranch wasin Dewey's
way and he offered to buy it,
Rockefeller refused to sell, so
Dewey proceeded to buy up all
the land surrounding it and fenc
ed in Rockefellers ranch.
Dewey gave all the settlers
whom he surrounded the right
to graze their cattle in his pas
ture along with his cattle.
"Turn your cattle in and let
them eat all of my grass they
want," was the way he put it to
the settlers, but the other cattle
men were not so generous, and
for self-preservation the settlers
claimed they would have to de
cline Dewey's offer and organize
a fight on Dewey as well as the
rest. They asserted that it was
life or death with them; that the
encoachment of ranchmen would
ruin them and that the only al
ternative left them was to resort
to force.
As statedalready, the war al
most opened on the Dewey ranch
the other day. Dewey had just
purchased laud surrounding the
farm of a settler and pat a gang
of men out to fence in the set
tler's quarter. A company of
settlers, heavily armed, rode up
and destroyed what fence the
gang had built, and forced Dew
ey's men to leave. That some
killing did not take place is re
garded as remarkable.' If Dew
ey were the only ranchman in
here, the settlers would have no
trouble. Tbey could get along
with him. But there are others,
Dewey being the largest one, is
now the object of attack.
The peace officers of this sec
tion are watching the matter
closely, and if the threatened in
surrection getstoo large for them
to handle they will ask the gover
nor to send a couple of compan
ies of militia here to restore or
der.

umns are open alike to the doings of all po
litical parties.
