Traffic on the Erie Railroad is stopped to-
day by washouts near Elmira. The lower
portions of that city are inundated, and the
Northern Central Railroad is also blocked
by washouts and landslides.

Murderers on Trial.
TOPEKA (Kan.), November 19th.-Stev-
ems county men, who composed the mob
which year ago murdered the Sheriff of
Stevens county in No Mans Land during
the WoodsdaleH Hugoton county seat fight,
were arraigned before Judge Foster, of the
United States District Court, to-day.
United States Attorney Addy made appli-
cation for their removal to the United
States Court for the eastern district of
Texas, indictments having been returned
against them by the Grand Jury there
The attorney for the defense resisted the
application on the ground that the Texas
Court had no jurisdiction over No Man s
Land. The defense argued that the terri
tory was under the jurisdiction of no Court.
This question is an extraordinary one, in
asmuch as it affects the title of The United
States to No Mans Land and the validity
of several Indian treaties made many years
ago.
