A Notorious Den.

One would think that not only the
owners of property in the neighporhood
OF suoh a notoriously wretohed dive as
that at No. IL Market street, but even
reputable licensed liquor sellers and the
liquor bsiliff would have interested them
selves long ago to bring the nuisance TO
the teption Of the authorities /; yet
nothing was doue until the United States
authorities took hold of 1t. 1t
is shameful commentary on the
laxitJ of enforcement Of our State liquor
laws that Illicit dealers generally trouble
themselves very little about them, while
on the oth r hand, they are, ,ss rule, very
careful to Fay the special government tax
II Burke Spencer had not been foolhsrdy
enough to omit this latter indispensable
ceremony, he might have carried
on his netaricus business uudis
turbed in all probability until
The end Of his daye; as it is he stands
very good ahow OF going to Jail for few
months. l. is hardly necessary to make
any further comment than is contained
In the evidence Of the witnesses exam
iued before Commissioner Smith Tues
day afternoon, They swore that Sp nceI
sold vile mixture OF cheap whisky,
cayenne pepper and other ingre-
iients and did an exceptionally
largA trade on Sundays; that the
sunday trade was conducted very
openly aud de6sntly; that 1t had never
b.en intsrfsrsi with by the officers or the
tqunr bailiff, and that any persons could
have discovered that the business WAS
bsils carried on had they cared to make
tue slightest inquiry. Such sweeping
estimony as this tells its own story.

Ia the present instance, when the U nited

1aity OF doing something to earn mis-
salary by prosecuting Spencer for th'
violations OF the State Law, the evidenc,
Of which is so fully on record that it can
nyt well be overlooked.
While on this topic We would call tn
attention of all interested in the sup
preston of these unlicensed dens, al,
particularly of Bailif osle, to the latte
3lause Of section Of the statute of 1881
which reads as follows

The Oklahoma Invaders.

CAPT. PAYNE's STATEMENT OF HIS GRIEVANCES
Mr.. J. A. Smith, counsel for Payne and the Okla
homa invaders, to-day filed document addressed
to Attorney General Brewster, at the Department
OF justice, calling attention to an act OF Congress-
approved January 9th, 1883, which, it is claimed
has been overlooked or dened in the proceedings
against Payne and his associates. This act pro-
v1ded for holding terms of the US. court at WI
chlta, Kansas and it is contended by counsel for
Payne that the judicial authority Of that court
tends over the very territory which Payne invaded.
The document recites that Payne and seven asso.
ciates were dragged by the military three hundred
miles over rough country to q court of another
jurisdiction, when under the law they should have
Payne and his followers are anxious for a speedy
trial, but that they are held as prisoners and de-
pr,ved Of the privilege Of habeas corpus at the in
stance OF rich cattle corporations whose interests
they b I've threatened by attempting to settle the
country. The Attorney General is urged to direct
his SubordinateS to that these men have all the
legal rights to which they are entitled.
STAR reporter was shown a letter from Capt
Payne, In witch he declares that he and his COM
panlonS were forced as prisoners to travel to Fort
Smith over a rough, wild country, and that at
many places road had TO be cut through for the
liver from Fort Smith, and In the Cherokee country
SO as to prevent them from having access TO writs
OF habeas corpus He says they could have reached
Fort Smith by rail in one day, but that would have
taken them through judicial territory, wherein
they could have appealed for writs of habea, cor
pus and it was the determination Of the authorities
to deny them any such privilege. He says the tent
In which they are confined is small and the men
suffer terribly with heat; that his companions are
eX-uniOn soldiers, several OF them disabled by
wounds, and al are sick from exposure and cruel
treatment. Two are dangerously Ill. He declares
that they expressed their willingness to appear be-
fore the at Wichita and stand trial but the
authorities would not allow It, that the sentiment
OF Kansas holds Oklahoma TO be land open Tor Set
tlement. and as the Judge OF the Wichita court
shares that opinion and regards the territory as
part Of the public domain, II was the determination
OF the authorities to arragn their prisoners before
court more likely to be adverse to them.
