THE DODGE CITY DIFFICULTIES.
KANSAS CRY, May. 1O-No reliable ex
PLANTATION of the troubles at Dodge City
KS, has yet been received. A dispatch
from Topeka says that nothing definite is
known there, but it is believed that the
special reports published are largely ex
aggerated and that the disturbance has
not been nearly so great as stated. Luke
Short, the most prominent Of the six mer
who were expected from Dodge, came to
this city and left tonight for Topeka
where he intends to lay his case before
Governor Click. He claims thai
the authorities had no right te expel him
from the town, but if he has violated the
laws he should be permitted to remain
there and answer the charge.
A prominent cattle man who resides in
Dodge City said in an interview here to.
night he believed the whole trouble was
simply war upon the gamblers; that the
citizens had determined the place should
be more orderly, and to have better state
of society, and therefore compelled certain
parties to leave. He said they had similar
experience about three years ago, and that
there is nothing especially remarkable in
the present movement. The law cannot
reach these cases, and consequently the
people are obliged to take the law, to a
certain extent, in their own hands.
A private dispatch received tonight
from Dodge City, makes practically the
same statement as that quoted last night,
to the effect there has been no bloodshed
no destruction of property, and in brief
no such sensation as described in special
reports. Anumber of gamblers were COM
PEELED to leave town, and special force OF
police had been on duty to prevent their
return. Shorts purpose of presenting the
matter before the state authorities, if car
ried out, will probably develop the facts
