officials Of the Santa Fe Railroad were
busy yesterday investigating the story
that the boomers concealed in the woods
Of Oklahoma had banded together for
the purpose OF destroying the RAILROAD

to obstruct the influx OF homesteads

pears that the boomers in hiding are des.
perate, They have selected and watched
their claims for years, and they now fear
that the newcomers, with the assistance
Of rapid transit, may get the best Of them,
There was a meeting Of these boomers
held in the timber near Oklahoma City

situation.
After the meeting adjourned the
Santa agent received notice that the
bridges would be burned and the trains
stopped on April %, us the old boomers

Mr. Smiths recommendation will have
much weight. Mr.. White knew moth

The Indians are pleased with the action
OF the Government in increasing the
price to be paid them from 80 cents per
acre to 81 80 per acre, and many OF them
have expressed their willingness to ac-
Cept the terms Of the treaty. Even Sit

A PRETTY KETTLE OF FISH,
II Now TuFnS out That the Chicago Git,
Election Was Illegal.

CHICAGO, April s,-The politicians OF
this city were astonished this afternoon
by the announcement that 1t had been
discovered that the recent election in
this city was illegal, and that II was in
the power OF any citizen to overthrow It,
This state Of affairs grows out Of de-
CisIon rendered by the Supreme Court
Of the State since the election, The de-
Cision was TO the effect that the town OF
Brighton Park and other portions
Of the township Of Cicero, had
been, by vote OF the people
on November II, 1887, legally annexed
to the townships Of South and West
Chicago, Previous to the annexation,
the townships Of South and West Chi,
cago were entirely included within the
limits Of the city Of Chicago, Whilethe
decision OF the court annexed this new
territory to the townships, It did not
operate to make It a part Of the city, the
power to extend the limits OF which
rests with the City Council, Therein
lies all the trouble.
The general law Of the State provides
that wherever all OF a township lies
within the limits Of city, the city elec-
tion shall be held on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday In April, and that
wherever the township Is not all inClu-
ded within the city limits the election |
shall be held on the third Tuesday In |
April. Under the decision OF the Su-
preme Court, the city OF Chicago does
not entirely cover the townships OF
South and West Chicogo and, therefore,
the election, instead OF being held on |
the first Tuesday in April, US 1t was,
should have been held on the third
Tuesday. Moreover, the law requires
that twenty days notice Of an election
shall be given, and, as the time Is too
short between this date and the Third
Tuesday in April for legal notice, II
seems questionable whether the mistake
can be rectiled by new election on
that date.
Wide fields OF speculation are opened
as TO the possibility OF revising the yer.
dict Of the people In the recent political
Landslide" " when the Republicans were
defeated by the Democrats by decisive
maiorities. 1t Is claimed that II tile
present Republican, administration Is
willing to invoke the law It can hold
over and prevent the newly elected
Democrats from taking their seats. 1t
Is said that Mayor Roche has consulted
the corporation counsel In regard TO the
matter, but 1t cannot be learned that
any decision as to what action shall be
taken has been reached,
