Discussing the Defeat of Phallas by Harry
wilkes.
New YORK, August 1.-The assertions
sde after the Harry WilkesPhallas trot
that Phallas had been pulled, and the denia
of Bithers, were the talk at Fleetwood Park
yesterday. 1t is agreed on all sides that
Phallas is not horse to let a competitor
like Harry Wilkes catch up eight or ten
lengths and pass him, and that Phallss
either must have been in no condition to
trot or was not driven to win. Some Of
those who take the latter view say thai
Phallas, up to the very start, was declared
to be in first class shape, and could hardly
have gone wrong inla moment.
u. Z. Simmons, who raised Harry Wilkes,
was at the trot, aud thinks it was fairly
done. "The track, he said, lis very fast,
and Phallas never had Just that sort of a
competitor before. In scoring before the
start, his shoulder boots not being properly
adjusted, Harry Wilkes hit himself and
broke continuously, and that and the track
account for the slow time. In my opinion
the reason why Phallss was beaten by him,
is that Phallas, in all of his previous races,
has always beaten the horse he has com
peted with in the first half mile. When he
tried it on Harry Wilkes he found that
Wilkes would stay with him and 60 as fast
as he could; and not only that, but he had
plenty Of speed to spare in the last halt
mile" 1t is doubtful whether another
match will be arranged between them.

A Dispute Over Live Stock Brings on q
Blot dy Fight.
GAINESVILLE, Ten, August l7.-It has
been rumored for some time that trouble
was brewing between some Of the cattlemen
in the Indian Territory. Several months
ago Williams & Murray, who own ranch
on the Washits, bought some cattle and
gave their note for $4,000, and when the
note was about due Williams ran off about
half Of the cattle, sold them and put the
money in his pocket He refused to give
Murray bis part Of the money, and Murray
took possession of the rest OF the cat
lie, and swore that Williams should not
have one Of them. Several days ago
Williams went to the ranch to get the
cattle out, but Murray refused to let him
have them. Williams then sent Dick Cavil
Dick Jones, Bob Woods and three other o
his men TO take the cattle. When they got
to the ranch they found ten of Murray S
men-W. +. and Bud Rousseau, Frank
Witt, Jim and Tom Fitzpatrick, John Pal
mer, Dick Strawn, Callahan, Bill Brooks
and George Horner. They demanded the
cattle, which demand Murrsy's men an
swered by opening FIRE with WincheSters
and revolvers A regular pitched battle
ensued, in the course OF which Cavil was
shot through the back and Jones was rid
died with bullets, being shot through the
back, head breast and arms. Williams
men then re;reated. No arrests have been
made so far. Tie authorities at Fort Smith
we're telegraphed for Instructions.

Mex, 18th, is secretly circulated through

his opponent, is said 10 have defeated Galan
in the contest for Governor at the last elec.
ton by fraudulent means. The signers OF
the circular say they will not stand it any
longer and prefer death to the present
state Of ff,irs. Rumors OF an intended
revolution have been floating around for tn
mast six months, but this is The first tangible
proof we have yet seen that is reliable. Gen.
lrevino is said TO be at the bottom Of the
whole affair, and abbetting the revolution
lists. Corn and grain are now ripe in the
country, and everything is favorable for q

GROSS MIsMANAeEMENT.
Almost Two Million Dollars Lost to the

Almost Two Million Dollars Lost to the
State of of Texas.
GALVESTON, TExAS, August ll.-At the
meeting Of the State Land Board last Tues
day q resolution was passed whereby the
Board agreed to fully exonerste, acquit,
release and hold harmless from all pains
and penalties, suits, costs, proceedings,
damages and liabilities against the Calves
ton News for or on account of anything it
may publish touching any member of the
Board in the management OF the landed sf
fairs of Texas" The News had intimsted it
possessed certain damaging information
touching the management of State lands,
which it feared TO publish because ofsn ex-
ceedingly stringent libel law, which gagged
the press Of Texas. By reason of the Law,
under a recent adverse decision of the Su-
preme Court of Texas, the proprietors OF
the News have Just paid 10000; hence
their desire to be insured.
In its issue of yesterday the News opened
out on the Land Board by reviewing its
work. The paper now makes the clam that
the Board, By its neglect and mismanage-
ment, had lost to the school fund OF the
State the sum Of 81, 100000, which should
have been collected under the law from the
csttlemen during the past eighteen months.
The News says that in February, 1884 an
act was passed directing the Land Board 10
appoint Grass Com missioners, whose duties
should be to ascertain by constant inspsc-
ton the area Of free grass belonging to the
State and being occupied by esttlemen with
out leases Of any character. Under this Law
all occupiers of such lands were compelled
10 pay occupation tax. Twenty million
acres Of free grass lands Of this character
have been constantly grszed upon since the
passage Of the law; yet the Land Board
only last week appointed and sent oat the
Grass Commissioners, upon whose reports
the tax could only be collected. The law
makes no provision for back taxes, hence
the State has lost nearly $2,O00000, which
has simply remained in the pockets Of cat
tlsmen.
In making tfese statements the News in
one breath acqui,s the members of the Land
Board of intentional wrong, but in the next
breath it SAYS: This loss Of 81, $50, 900
was not accidental, and not being sCciden-
tai it is presumably the result Of intelligent
design. This creates sensation. The
Board is composed of Governor John Ire
land, State Treasurer F, R, Lubberek, Land
Commissioner W. c. Walsh, Comptrolsr
John D. Templeton. Tn galaxy of names
comprises the most distinguished politicians
in Texas.
