a COUNTY SEAT FIGHT

Do Some Shooting.

TOPEKA, Kas., June IA telegram
has been received by Gov. Martin, from
Brigadier-General Murray informing him
of the alarming state OF affairs that exists
in Stevens county OIL the frontier, caused
by a railway bond election. The towns Of
Woodsdale and Hugoton are located about
two miles apart, and bitter feeling has
always existed, growing out OF county
scat fight. A telegram gives details Of n
shooting which occurred In lIugoton. r.
l.. Jones, the deputy sheriff, who is a
Woodsdalc man, the constable OF Woods
dale township, and another officer rode
into Hugoton and attempted 10 assissinate
sam Robinson aud j. b. Chamberlain,
chairman OF the board OF county comInis-
sioners. They pretended TO have war
rants for the arrest OF the parties, but in.
stead Observing the warrants by the usual
process they drew their rcvolyes and
opened fire upon the marshal. and the
chairnsn Of the board. The fire was re-
turned and the attacking party retreated.
One man was seriously wounded. The
inhabitants OF both towns arc now armed
to the teeth and bloodshed may follow be-
fore long.

submitted his annual report TO Congress
he did not make specific estimate for this
item, although he intended to do so. He
put the item among the number Of esti-
mates which he simply submitted without
any special recommendation. The COM
mittee held that this was not sufficient
warrant for them to act. Gen. Catchings
laid the matter before Gen. Duave, who
replied that he certainly intended to
recommend the item. Even then the COM
mittee declined TO be satisfied, so Gen.
Duaye will at once make specific recon-
mendation in the matter. Probably the
item will be cut down to $4,000 or Si0,-
600, but Gen. CutchiDgs thinks that will
be sufficient.

Railroads of Indian TERRITORY.

There are 10000 Cherckees, 5000
Choctaws, 5000 Chickasaws, and from
1900 to 5000 Seminoles in the territory.
The Greeks number S, coo to 10, 600 souls,
but it is thought about half of these are
negroes. Owing to prejudice among the
Cherokees and Choctaws there are fewer
negroes in those nations. The territory
has more railroads than any who have
not studied the subject would believe.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe route
runs a line from Arkansas City to
Gainesville straight through the middle
of the territory. The Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, part of Gould's Missouri Pa
cific line, runs through the northeast cor
ner, through the Cherokee, Creek, Choc-
taw, and part of the Chickasaw nations.
There is a fifty mile bit of road from
Fort Smith, Ark, to Nfoskogee, in the
Creek nation, entirely traversing the
Cherokee country. The Atlantic and
Pacific road has got the right of way,
and has made its survey straight across
the territory. A branch of the Rock
Island system crosses the territory, and
branch of the Southern Kansas route
runs across the northeast corner dag
onally across the state is projected the
Dennison and Wachita Valley road, part
of the Frisco system.-New York Sun.

INCURABLY DEMENTED.
Robert Garrett Believed to Be in Bloom
inodale Asylum.

NEW YORK, Aug 2S-The sad fact can
no longer be concealed that Robt. Garrett
is an inmate of the Bloomingdale Asylum
for the Insane, and is incurably demented.
The details of this history come from
source that does not permit suspicion
as to their authority They are only
now revealed because the inevitable
exposure could not be much longer
delayed. Mr.. Garrett was threat
ened with paresis when he started
ON his trip to the Pacific coast, and that
journey was extended to the Sandwich
Islands, Japan and even up the Nile on
account of his continued Illness While at
Richweed Springs Mr.. Garrett exhibited
symptoms of violent dementia. 1t was
deemed advisable to keep the world in
ignorance Of the afflicted milhonaire's
condition and it was therefore
necessary to remove him to place of
seclusion. During this. journey to
quieter resort occurred the most trying
scene Of the entire tour The doctor lock-
ed the doors at the rear end OF the car, and
closed every window doubly. Then he
told Mr. Garrett that if he would go at
once to his berth he would get a good rest
and would feel much refreshed in the
morning Mr. Garrett complied. The
family physician had been asleep but
short time when he was awakened by
blood -curdling shrek.
Springing to his feet he saw Mr.. Garrett
as naked as when he came into the world,
fairly flying through the car. The shrek,
ing maniac rushed to one of the doors and
attempted to open it. Finding this i'm
possible he turned upon the men III the
party who were now pursuing him.
The battle which ensued is de-
scribed by one of the participants
as the most dreadful sight he ever
witnessed. The SIX strong men who
sprang upon him found it almost lmpos-
sible to control without hurting him, and
meanwhile two terrorized women moaned
in agony of mind. Mr.. Garett's deluslon
was that he had Jay Gould confined in a
cell, where to use his own language, Il
intend keeping him until he riots"
His delusion was that, while he was
asleep several of Gould's miniOns, armed
with knives and reviewers, came to the
side of his berth and threatened to kill
Kim if he did not release their chief. " hen
he fled they pursued him, and he imagined
that his physician, the nurses and
his friends were these persons. He
ment New York was reached Mr.. Garrett
was taken to the New York hospital and
thence to the Rloomingdale asylum His
wife and sister and several attendants
went to the Brevoort House, where a
friend personated Mr.. Garrett in order
that the newspapers might be deceived:
His physicians privately admit that MIR.
Garrett is afflicted with soitening of the
brain. They say that as IN John McCul-
lough's case, he will have period of ap-
parent recovery, but after that the relap-
ses will be more frequent and prolonged
until death ensues, which Will be only
matter of little time.
