Suspicious of Foul Play.

GALVESTON. Tex1s, Jan. 30.-A Nescs'
special from Dallas says: A good deal of
excitement was created here to- day on
the announcement OF a new and horrible
theory touching the killing of Jesse
Bonner and other negroes Thursday
night by Deputy Sheriff Seely of
Freestone county and Detective Duncan
of this city, who surrendered themselves.
A visit to the scene of the shooting shows
that Bonner's five year-old child Wss
shot through the forehead, and Robert
Johnson, colored, shot in the knee. The
evidence at the inquest thus far tends to
show that the shooting was entirely un-
provoked. Bonner was sitting in his
cabin with his child on his knee, when
the officers burst in and began shooting
The negroes had no weapons. Witness
es testify that there were three white
men in the party and that one stood out
side and shot johnson as he ran away
rhe belief Is growing that
the killing was q cold blOoded murder.
The cOlored population is agitated. Con
stable Miller says the statement of the
negroes Is corroborated by the appear
ance of things. The officers ascertalned

Sidney Clark, ex-member of the Kansas
legislature, who appeared before the

advocacy of Representative Viewers
bill for the creation of the territory of

clsimed that Oklahoma belonged en-

menI had paid the Indians the tull
price OF the lands, and while the origin
al understanding was that Oklahoma
should be used as q colony for Indians
and freedmen. that idea had long ago
been abandoned. and the only use made
of Oklahoma. Clark said, was that of q
pasture of the herds belonging TO the
cattle barons. He said that cattle
company formed at Lswrence, Kans,
had leased the lands from the Indians
for 500, GOO, and he'd sub-let il at con
