OKLAHAMA.

The Defiant Colonis;s Weakened by Per-
suaslon of Army Officers But VIII Wait
Only One More Dsy-"We Have Reused
q Hungry People and Cannot Control
Them"
HUNNEwELI, Kans. Dec. 12.-No new
move of the Oklahama settlers has been
made. They spent the Sabbath in religious
worship, and members of the colony con-
Quoting the services. Col. Cofinger and
Lieut.. Mason came over to the camp of the
settlers and joined in the service. The Of
fcers, by their kind persuasion, are having
great influence over the settlers, and if blood
shed is prevented it will bs through their
influence. They have won the settlers over
to their belief that the army had rather es-
cort them to Oklahama than prevent them
going, and they had better await the action
of Congress. While the determination to 90
is still strong, it is now hoped conservative
counsels will prevail. Rev. Mr.. Cary, in his
sermon to-day, said he hoped since they had
changed officers they had leader that would
lead them across the line at once. This SEN
timent was applauded. Large delegations
of ladies were in attendance from the sur
rounding towns and country. At
night religious services were revived,
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Broedhuret
of South Haven. After the service col
ony meeting was held to determine course
for tomorrow. Exhortations were made by
some of the colony, to 60 into the Territory
at once, and it was only after a speech of
DR.. Wilson of Texas, the cool head of the
outfit, that the settlers weuld agree to wait
one more day, hoping for Congressional
action. Rev. Mr.. Cary said he had just tray
eled through sixteen counties in Eastern
Kansas, and there was actual suffering. The
leaders say they have aroused hungry peo-
pie and cannot control them.

COASTING ACCIDENT.

Young Girl Run Down by a Boy on q
Sled and Her Leg Broken.
Yesterday afternoon, between three and
four o'clock, an accident occurred on Park
avenue, near the railroad track, which cost q
young girl named Mollie Schlief broken
leg. 1t seems that young lad named John
Mullary was coming down the hill at high
rate of speed on a sled, and Mollie was going
up. There was collision between the sled
and the girl, resulting as above stated. DIR.
Smith was close by and set the injured mem
Der in the street. She was then taken to
her home on Usage avenue by John
Sweeny, who happened to be near
by at the time. Miss Schlief
is about IA years of age, and the boy. Null
larry, is about the same age. He escaped
from the reform school last summer and
has never been caught since, probably be-
cause no sufficient effort was ever made. DR..
Wheaton is the Schlief family physician and
has charge of the case. The girl was very
plucky during the operation of setting the
broken bones, enly crying little at first,
and before the painful work was ended dry
ing her tears and bearing the anguish hero

One Experience from Marriage.

81 had been sick and miserable so long, and
had caused my husband SO much trouble and
expense-no one seemed to know what allied
me-that was completely disheartened and
discouraged. In this frame of mind got a

to my family. I soon began to improve and
gained SO fast that my husband and family
thought it strange and unnatural, but when I

Mrs. Greenleaf Brings Suit Against +. r.
Egan-Mr. Egan's Reply.
An action for an accounting was COM
menced in the district court yesterday by
Julia F. Greenleaf against Peter F. Egan,
former manager of the plaintiffs business
at No. " East Third street. The plaintiff
alleges that about the 18th day of September,
1876, she became the owner of large stock
of jewelry, furniture, fixtures, tools, etc.,
situated at the place above designated and
valued at more than $29,609. At the time
named it is alleged that on certain repre-
sentations made by defendant, he was en-
ployed to conduct and manage said JeTelry
business at salary of 81 800 per year, the
agreement taking effect on the 18th of Sep
tember, 1876, at which time defendant as
sumed entire charge of the business.
It is alleged that he continued to have ex-
elusive charge of the business until October
l, 1879. 1t is also alleged that st the time
he assumed control of tue business she also
turned over to him, for her own benefit, the
sum of $4,000 In money, together with a
large number of uncollected accounts, valued
at the sum of $2,100. The complaint sets
forth that plaintiff is woman with very
limited knowledge of business transactions,
and that she never gave any personal atten-
ton to the management of said business.
During defendent's service it is alleged that
he received and disbursed large sums of
plaintiffs money, the exact amount of which
is not known, and it is claimed that defend
ant refuses to render an account to plalntltf
of his dealings as her agent and that the
same are unsettled and unadjusted. That
during his employ he has wrongfully and
fraudulently converted and appropriated
large sums of money and quantities Of prop
erty belonging to plaintiff to his own uee.
That between Oct. and Nov. l, 1876, he
secretly, fraudulently and dishonesty appro-
priated to his own use the sum of 5000 of
plaintiffs money. That between the 1st and
18th days of January, 1877, he dishonesty
and secretly appropriated $3.50 of her money
with intent to cheat and defraud. That be-
tween Oct. l, 1876, and Jan. Is, 1877, he
dishonesty converted a large quantity of
goods, exceeding $500 in value. That about
the 9th of January, 1877, he deliberately ap-
propriated the sum of $53.65 of her money
with intent to cheat and defraud. That at
divers times in 1873 he dishonesty convert
ed ten gold watches, exceeding in value
$500. That at divers other times he dis
honestly appropriated large sums of money,
exceeding in value $3.50, all of which he
concealed from plaintiff and refuses to give
her an accounting. 1t is charged in conclu-
sion that during his managem ent he has ap-
propriated in all at least S 10, 800, for which
plaintiff demands an acco uniting and such
other relief as may be nee essary.
