AN ANGRY MOB.
Trouble in Cimmarron Over
County Offices.
Two Men Killed and Many
Wounded.
Troops Ordered Out to Quell
the Disturbance.
More Trouble.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. IA special from
Wichita, Kas., gives an account of a ter
rible affair at Cimmaron, Kas., in which
two or three persons were killed and sew
eral wounded. There has for the past
year been a serious conflict between the
towns of Cimmaron and ingalls,. The
county offices, excepting clerk and sur
veyor, have been at ingalls, for nearly a
year. AT the recent election Mr.. Watson,
an ingalls, man. was elected clerk, but the
commissioner refused to canvass the vote
until an order was issued for them to
do SO.
Last Monday morning several deputy
sherifs went to Cimmaron to place Wat
son, the clerk elect, in office, and to re-
move the county records to ingalls,, when
they were fired on by a mob of from 200
to 300 Cimmaron sympathizers. The
shots were returned with a vengeance,
and when the firing ceased it was found
that j. N. English and j.. Bliss, two
prominent citizens of Cimmaron. were
killed and quite a number wounded.
Geo. w. Bolds, deputy sheriff, was shot
in the leg and l.. Brooks and q. Roth
fielder, two other deputies, received flesh
wounds in the arm and head. The Gin
marion people became ~infuriated over the
killing of their two leading citizens and
charged in a body on a brick building in
which Watson and the wounded deputies
had taken refuge. At last accounts the
firing was going on at intervals between
the besieged and besiegers, the latter using
the house corners aud other places for
shelter. If Watson and the deputies fall
in the hands of the Cimmarron people
they will all be hung, and their only
safety is in the arrival of outside assist
ance.
Governor Martin has telegraphed Gen.
Myers of this city deploriug him to send
a company of militia to Cimmarron at
once to preserve peace and to go himself
and if he finds one company insufficient
to order out another. Gen. Myers i'm
mediately notified Co.'S. A, III and G
of the End regiment of the Kansas
national guards to be ready for duty and
with Adjutant Divers went to Larned,
where he will be met by Co. Il and pro-
coed to Cimmarron at once.

The Deadlock Broken.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-It was gen.
orally understood halt an hour before the
house met that the deadlock would be
broken to-day and one of the a~ppropria-
ton bills taken up. Just how this result
was attained was a mystery except to a
few members. Weaver admitted the fact
and intimated that satisfactory arrange
ments on behalf of his Oklahoma bill had
been made, but declined to say what they
were: There were many rumors, but
nothing definite. One says the Oklahoma
people feared the bill would be called mn
and killed, another that Weaver would be
allowed to call the bill up during the last
SIX days of the session, but the most
probable seems to be that an rangcmen
has been made to extend the session to
evenings if necessary in order to give time
for the consideration of Weaver's pet
measure.

reported to the house. What was done
with them, the house journal, the official
record up to this good day, fails to show,
and as no journal is kept of the proceed
ings of the committee of the whole, no
man can now tell whether the bill signed
by the governor is the one which really
passed the house.
After the bill providing a special char
ter for Fort Worth had passed the SEN
ate, the people of this city brought in
fuences to bear to have it amended in
the house. One amendment referred to
the chartering of street railway, gas and
other companies, and was very impor-
tant. After the bill had been sent back
to the senate and the amendments
agreed to, THE GAZETTE telegraphed its
correspondent to wire full text of the
section referring to the chartering of street
railway, gas and other companies as
amended. The correspondent went to
look at the bill, then-in the hands of. the
enrolling clerk of the senate, and found
LhaU Ihls most lmportanU amendment had.
not been reported to the senate, and that
the bill had passed that body without it.
The mistake was easily corrected, but its
discovery was brought about by the fail
ure of THE GAZETTE correspondent to re-
port the amendment in full when it was
agreed to by the house.
These evidences of careless legislation
are pointed out because they were discov-
cred; how many mistakes were made
which were not discovered nobody will
ever know
When we make a new constitution let
US see to it that the Iaw-making power is
so hedged about that such careIessness
may never creep in.

THE race question is beng discussed in
the newspapers of the South in a manner
that shows the earnestness of the consid-
GRAFTON that is being given it by those
who recognize it as the greatest question
of the day. This is rs it should be- The
negro is among us, and he win stay
among us. That there will never be So
ciaI equality between the two races is
certain; that the whites viii dominate in
politics is equally certain. That putting
the ballot in the hands of the negro was
& criminal mistake the North must now
acknowledge; that having it he must be
protected in its use and enjoyment the
South cannot deny. How the two races
can live together under these conditions
without friction is the question that
thought must solve and conservatism
explain.
