settlers aud soldiers. They are camped
facing each other. with an imaginary iine
that separates the States from the Terri
tory between them. Reports that large
rum bers were entering the Territory from
other points caused great Dissatisfaction
among the oclonists. They would say we
are holding the army while other parties
are going in and getting the best land"
The excitement was increased when a COM
mittee, headed by the Mayor of Caldwell
came over and invited the colony to come
over to that place Offering them camp
grounds, wood. &c. This should have
been the starting point, as Oklahoma is
directly south. The report of the CaId
we'll party that from 6ye TO ten teams were
going in daily brought matters to head
and the settlers declared they would
remain il camp DO longer. The officers at
first held almost military control over the
settlers. but in the last day have ceased 10
exercise any influence or control over
them. and thcv are fast dcgeneratiDg into
an uncomfortable mob, and unless some
thing is done to restore discipline conflict
may be brought on at Gny time.

That Alleged Robbery,

The case of James Ahern and Oliver Ma
son, charged by John Schneider with as
saulting and robbing him at Ahern's saloon
on Monday, was partly heard before Judge
Flint yesterday morning. Schneider testi-
fed to being knocked down in the saloon
and $15 in cash taken from his hand. He
also identified Mason, the bartender, as the
man who drew revolver on him. Officer
Clouse testified to visiting the saloon on
Tuesday morning, and to the admission
made by Mason that he drew the revolver,
but only in fun. He also saw on the floor
several spots of blood. James Ahern being
sworn, said the man came to the saloon
Monday evening and conducted himself in a
boisterous manner. After being told
several times to keep quiet, he
was put out, but without violence.
The blood spots which the officer saw
were caused by meat which he had fed to q
dog. A witness was sworn, who testified
that SCHNEIDER told him, after being put ont,
that he had no money to be robbed of. The
court thought there should be more evidence
in the case, and the examination was con-
tinued to Monday morning. Ahern was re-
leased on his own recognizance, and Mason,
in default of 800 bail, was committed.

suspend The operations of the board, pend
ing an inquiry into its workings by COM

"2. What right, if any, have you as such
board, under the law, to make lis future acts
conditional upon the report of an associa-
ton not required by any law to make any
report in the premises?
'3. Can you even temporarily, without re-

pend or defeat the objects of a law created

BILE to removal for neglect of duty?
