sas, that a settlement is being made in the
Oklahama district by the followers of Captain
Payne, and requests the Secretary of War to
take steps for their removal. Hambly places
the number of these settlers at 1900. Cap
tain Carol made an investigation, and finds
Mr. Hambly's statement incorrect. The Ok
lahama district has been thoroughly secuted
at intervals of ten days during the past three
months, and only one party of six men were
discovered in thu district. They were ar

The Boston Bank Suspension.
Boston, May 22d.-The Pacific National
Bank, which suspended some months ago,
and resumed but few weeks since, stopped
payments to-day and will wind up business.
Its Directors voted to go into liquidation.
and applied for receiver. The suspension
is considered due to lack of business Since
the resumption public confidence has not
been great enough to warrant any large deal
ings with the concern.
The immediate cause of suspension of the
bank was the maturing of $500, 900 on Sat-
urday, which the bank was unable to pay,
and which went to protest. It is understood
that all the depositors will be paid in full,
but the original stockholders will have their
investment of two millions wiped ont.
The Central National Bank is among the
creditors to the amount of $500, 000 but has
already assessed its stockholders to that
amount. It is believed the losses of other
banks will be small.

clared that she shot her father in self defense,
her brother and her older sister are here in

the children might have things their own
way st home, and that it was arranged that

her from punishment, and thus her sister and
brother escape punishment also. There is
much excitement over the case here.
