Deputy District Attorney Rush Get ting Ready for Trials, LINCOLN—Deputy United States District Atttorney S. R. Rush has had an office fitted up for him in the room formerly occupied by the assistant custodian of the federal building on the second floor of that structure. He is busily engaged in getting the land fencing cases ready for trial. Sub poenas are being prepared for wit nesses and among them will be a number of special agents of the gen eral land department who were in strumental in bringing about the in dictments In 1903. In addition to these many homesteaders and small cattle men will be summoned to tell what they know about the appropria tion of the public domain by the big cattle men. Mr. Rush, who, as former assistant United States district attorney, has had much to do with bringing the In dictments against the cattle men, and who has charge of the present prose cutions, said: “We cannot get ready for the trials of these cases until the latter part of the month. The first case to be tried will be that of Herman and John Krause, who are indicted with ille gally enclosing about 5,000 acres of land some twelve miles or more northwest of Alliance. Their case will be called about May 29. We cannot reach it before that time on account of the jury being engaged in the trials on the civil docket, and it is Judge Munger’s wish to clear the civil docket before going at the crim inal docket. All of the fourteen or fifteen Indictments against cattlemen are criminal cases and will be tried as such. If we cannot reach them by criminal procedure we will go at them by civil procedure. After we get through with the Krause cases we will take up the Bartlett Richards and Comstock cases.’
