ANOTHER OFFICER IN DANGER.
His COl0red Assaflants Fined.
JUDGE SMELL SAYS SOMEBODY Is GIVING THE
COLORED PEOPLE BAD ADVICE.

This morning In the Police Court q colored
man, William Gordon, from East Washington,
and the woman with whom he lives, Lizzie Ner
son, were charged with assaulting Officer Pear
son and Special Officer Willis. Gordon was
also charged with throwing stones. Mr.. Thomas
appeared for the prosecution and Campbell
Darlington for the defendants. Officer Pearson
testlhed that yesterday morning about nine
O'CLOCK, when near 9th street and Maryland
avenue northeast, he heard some loud talk
Ing and saw the defendant throwing
stones across the street at the woman, and wit
ness SAID, "here sport, stop that and go into the
mouse. 1T takes good man to take me TO the
statlon mouse, replied the defendant, WHO then
threw another stone, which went through the
window, and witness started after him, he rum

the ohcer's club and struck him several times,

on the floor. ' at this tim time We" Special
Officer Willis came to witness assistance
who still held him, and Willis did as witness
ASKED him. When the prisoner released his
hold on witness several colored men and
got away from them he saw the prisoner have
Special Officer Willis in the corner, and witness
went to his assistance, and they started out Of
the house with the prisoner. When they got
outside the prisoner had Willis thumb in his
mouth 1,ie and he lWillisl struck him to make
him let go his finger. They then started with
him to the station and he resisted all the way.
Al the station Lizzie appeared. and when
searched she had witnesses watch chain and
keys on her and Special Officer Willis badge.
Sias Moore and Special Officer Willis gave
testimony in confederation of Offcer Pearson.
The defendant testified that he only pitched
stone at his wife and broke window. He
admitted that he refused to go, and claimed
that he was only playing with Lizzie when
arrested.
Lizzie made denial of the assault charged
against her. She denied taking anything from
the officers pocket.
A number of other witnesses gave evidence
for the defense which was very contradictory.
The judge said that somebody had taken it
upon themselves TO give colored people some
very bad advice in the matter of arrests, and
this man probably acted under such advice,
and refused to go without a warrant. When
placed under arrest having such an idea, he
proceeds to resist
Gordon was fined SIS for throwing the stones
and sentenced to 90 days in jail for the two
assaults. Lizzie was fined $5 for the assault.

LAND FRAUDS IN TEXAS.
Over IL ,OOO, 900 Acres Lost to the State
School Fund.

GALVESTON, TEX, Sept. THE DoiLy Ne,us
some weeks ago charged that nearly 81, 600, OOO
had been lost to the school fund of Texas by the
mismanagement of state land affairs or some
thing worse. In its issue OF yesterday the Ne,cs
editOrially says on the same subject: ITO show
to what extent the school fund has been robbed
In the last ten years, some official figures are
submitted. In 1875 the new constitution gave
one-half OF the public domain TO the public
schools, besides the alternate sections located
by virtue Of railway scrip. At that time there
were already located for the school fund IL :
1856. 600 acres. and there were 81 $50, % acres
Of vacant unappropriated public domain, which
latter has been exhausted during 10 years past.
The school fund under the constitutional pro-
vision donating half the public domain TO that
fund ought to have received 800 O64 acres,
being half the land disposed of in that time,
which, added TO the acreage owned by the
school fund 1875, would make a total of as,
1I6.664 acres of school lands, less the ,037, =
500 acres that have been sold. Thus the school
fund ought now to have unsoid located lands,
amounting TO 7,137 $50 acres, but has, in
fact. only 4,67S,2S7 acres. /" This fund" then
says the Nesos, ''has been defrauded OF 2.459,-
$50 acres, worth $25, 0O0, 600. Sometime there
will be q sure enough investigation OF land
matters in this state. Twelve million acres
may be O small matter, but 1t is worth hunting
up. 1t is about thirty acres tor every pupil in
the public schools" "How would it do" asks
the NeUs, "for the grass commissioners to be
put on the trail Of these lost lands?"

Is 1T LEGALLY ORGANIZED AT PREsESTs
The action Of the first controller In stopping
the pay OF Mr.. Creswell, counsel OF the court OF
Alabama claims on the ground that the ac-
counts OF that officer against the government
were not properly certified, has revived the
comment as TO the construction OF the court
and what may be done with It A lawyer who
has been practitioner before the court for some
time remarked to-day that there was not law
yer among the practitioners before that tribunal
who would be willing to combat the propositiou
that the court Is not legally organized. IL IL
claimed by those who take this position that
the court should have been entirely reoryanixed
under the act of Congress extending its exist
ence. Prior To that the court consisted of i've
judges, but the act of extension reduced tho
number to three. 1t is contended that the
judges OF the new court should have been
again nominated to the Senate and
confirmed by that body, and that new commits
sions should have been issued TO them; that
instead OF that course the new court went right
along, minus two judges under the old organi-
cation, and that IL Is not o legally-oonstituted
body.
Among those interested in the court and tho
business before Ii there is considerable specuka-
ton as to what the President may do. Some of
the lawyers are In favor of n new organization.
The time for which the court was extended will
expire on the 31st of next December, but IL tho
President could be convinced that the present
organization is not In compliance with Law he
would, 1t is urged, be compelled 70 put the court
upon legal footing.

The Wyoming Riots.

MORE TROOPS ORDERED TO THE SCENE.
Adjt Gen. Drum has telegraphed instruc-
tfons to Gen. Schofeld to send additional troops
to the scene of the anti-Chinese riots in Wyo-
ming. The two companies of soldiers previ-
ously ordered there have arrived and report
the situation threatening. Their orders, thus
far, are only to protect the mails. The riot at
ROCK Springs was more serious than first re-
ports indicated. The number slain Is variOuSy
estimated from SO to 100. All Say, who is the
head OF the Cinnamon, says there are $50 miss
Ing, and he believes nearly all were killed.
Numerous arrests Of rioters have been made.
THE TROOPS PRESERVE THE PEACE.
The latest reports received at the War de
partment from Gen. Schofeld relative to the
troubles in the vicinity of Rock Springs, wy
oming, show that wherever troops are located
the threatened rtotings Immediately subs1de
ana quiet Is restored without any action. IT is
thought, therefore, that there will be no fur
