asaw legislature, which is expected to

legislation fixing the status Of the negroes

have denied the right Of citizenship TO
freedmen living in their country. Re-
Gently tho question has been raised
whether under the Constitution OF tho
United States the negroes could DO dc.
privcd Of rights guaranteed by that insiru-
mcnt, and there Is probability Of bill
being passed by the Legislature comforting
suffrage upon them. Many Chickasnws
favor coloniEing the negroes in Oklahoma,

Chickns,w Nation. Tho negroes ouiuum-
her thc Chickasaws and the latter fear
that giving them the right 10 vote will be

ward Of $500 for tho capture Of the Duck

The officers Of the Prospect Park Dummy
Line are again in the midst Of most
troublesome and anxious experience.
1t involves the raising of snug little
amount OF cash by certain hour today, or
the spectacle Of idle rolling stock, ma
chinery in the company's repair shops and
no track force at work.
| For the past few days there has been
manifest discomfort among the employees
of the company, and an occasional remark
heard TO escape the lips of some Of them
has led TO a suspicion that things would
reach crisis before many days had passed.
All their acts have been governed by a
common understanding, looking to an end
possible only by thorough organization
| and harmony. The root OF the trouble
was kept secret until yesterday, which
date was only short time before the hour
set for decided action. 1t was longing
for and determination TO succeed in OBJ
tanning handsome chunk of back pay.
During yesterday committee from the
organized employees waited upon the Pres
ident, or Receiver, with an ultimatum. Ii
was 10 the effect that unless all back sal
aries were squared by 0 o'clock this Tues
day. morning, not a wheel would turn.
The amount necessary to grease tho wheels
for future revolutions is said to be not less
than $1,000, covering salaries for period
OF two and a half months. There are in
the threatened strike all the engineers and
firemen, brakemen, switchmen, track re-
pair men and the machine shop men,
numbering, perhaps, twenty. One OF the
claims is also from the company's recent
ticket seller, who was discharged last Sat
urday for having sold tickets at the prices
ruling before the late advance in prices.
While he cannot strike with much damag-
ing effect, he has friends among the en-
ployes who will insist upon the settlement
OF his claim along with the balance.
The employees are not disposed 10 show
the least charity toward the corporation.
On the contrary, they are exceedingly
wro,h. One OF them remarked 10 an
APPEAL reporter last night. 81 tell you,
sir, we are in frame OF mind that it
would not require much more imposition
TO make us take all the rolling stock and
other plumber, break ii, pile il up and
burn II! The company got behind with
MS once before for two months, but squared
up and we were satisfied. Now they have
gone beyond that, we can see nothing in
sight, aud unless our demand is complied
with there will be determined strike in
augurated tomorrovImorning at o O'Clock. "

There was quite an extensive Indian
scare in Ely this week. Some of the
squaWs reported that the Indians
would kill several whites on the last
night of the fandango. While the
story was generally looked upon as
improbable, still it was thought best
to be on the safe side, and all the
fire arms in town were put in good
order and watch set on the blood
thirsty red men. Whether or not the
latter were cowed by Ely's wsrhke
preparations, is not known, but they
certainly made no attempt to commit
any depredations, and quietly left the
town when requested to do SO by the
whites. There is no doubt that some
OF tile Indians talked the matter over
ut least a month ago, but probably did
SO to scare the squaws into torsaking
their evil ways.
