Bad State OF Affairs In Kansas Town.
KANSAS Cry MO-, May 9sh.-For the
past ten days remarkable state of affairs
has existed at Dodge City, Kansas, AID all
mention thereof has been kept quiet Several
prominent Kansas City attorneys left &c day
for Topeka, to petition the Cover Tor to place
the town under martial law. TIE last diff
Guilty is the culmiastion of lopg.stapding
feud between two elements of that place.
Dodge City has long enjoyed the reputation
of being hard place. It is the headquarters
of the cowboys and cattle men OF the yicini-
ty. At the head of one faction is gambler
named Webster, who aspires to be the Boss
Tweed of Dodge City, and has his man in
the Mayors chair, and at TIE head of the
other faction is man pamed Harris, the de-
feated candidate for Mayor. A number of
the latter's friends have been ordered to leave
town, and correspondents of newspapers have
been notified that they must ros send tele-
grams. A BODY of armed men watch the az
rival of each train, to see that there is no in.
reference. A lawyer from Larned, sent for
by one of the prisoners, was met by the vigi.
giants, who leyeled gun at his head, and
told him not to stop. The next morning five
gamblers put hhn on the westward bound
train, and he left for Kansas City, where he
is now. Dodge City is practically in the
hands of the vigilants, and the situation is
the more serious from the fact that the
Mayor is acting with them. It was he who
notified persons that they must go. The
trains are still watched, and list of persons
who ara to be ordered out has been prepared.
Dodge City is in the hands of desperadoes,
and the lives and property of citizens are not
safe. Serious trouble is apprehended.
