In Dakota there are great numbers of

the country by the flaming circulars of
the railroad and lahd companies, and still
more by letters from friends already on

Keller VS.. Boynton.
A Question that Might Interfere
with Legislators PreroGative
--HOuse Proceedings Other
Washington Points.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. "a The Keller
BoyutOn investigating committee resumed its
session. Charles S. GarfieI1, cattle dealer
of Cleveland, Ohio, a cousin of President
Garfield, was the first witness. He had
known Boynton about a year and a
half, and keifer about the same length
Of time; was in Washington the latter part
of February, 1883; was present at a
conversation which took place somewhere
about March l, between Boynton and j. w.
Elder, and, he thought, somebody else; he
heard most Of the conversation: it
was in regard to some claim Elder
had and which, he wished to speak
to Boynton about; Boynton's reply, in
substance, was that he could do nothing with
it; he said he had a claim himself and that if
keifer would not take hold of his, he would
not take the smaller bill that Elder had
he said it was the McGarrahan
Dill, and any one who would
not take hold of that bill would not take hold
of bill of So 900 or Sc 600; he said he had been
to see Gen. Keifer about it, and he would do
nothing with it: he said the speaker would
leave the chair without either friends or
money; he said McGarrahan's bill was a
large one, and any one VINO would be of as
sistanue would get pay for it. That was the
conversation which took place in the west
hall of the house of Representatives; he could
not fix the exact day of the conversation; it
was abodt the middle Of the week before con-
gress adjourned.
On cross-examination by the committee,
witness stated that he did not understand
Boynton to say that he had made representa-
tiOns to Keifer that there was money in the
bill for any one who would take it; could not
say whether Boynton said he had claim OF
not.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Boynton, the
witness admitted that he had but slight &C
quaintance with Boynton. He was here
at the time to try and get a gov
eminent position and called on Boyn-
ten for assistance; the latter did not
promise to assist, and in fact never
did since that time. His relations will
Boynton were confined to bidding each other
good-day when they met on the street; he
might have been in Boynton's office once
after he called to ask his assistance II
seemed odd to witness that Boynton should
thus expose himself to a practical stranger,
and he thought Boynton was mad about
something, or he wouldn't have done it.
The witness said that Keifer notified him
by telegraph that he would be wanted, and

vile. The testimony which would be given
by these witnesses was Of such nature that
the investigation ought not to be concluded
on the part of Keifer until it could

pledged himself no futher continuation would
be asked for.
Mr.. Boynton asked Keller what he meant
by stating in his speech that he (Boynton)
had forged letters, ETC., but the committee
decided that the question involved collateral
matter, which it might not be well to go
into, and Mr.. Wilson remarked jocularly:
