Guthrie mon worked 1yp,

GUTHRIE, Okla, July 2.-To-day
some excitement was caused here by
the ejectment of Smith s. Bradley. at
torneys, from a lot which they claimed.
The other claimants we're Judge Gal
loway and a minor son. 1t is under
stood, and, generally believed that
both Judge Galloway and his son en-
tered the territory before noon on Mon
day April %. 1t will be remembered
that he was a few days ago removed
from office, and it is known that his
removal was owing to his course since
the territory was opened. The eject
ment of Smith & Bradley has caused
considerable dissatisfaction and it is
feared that some of the old troubles
experienced here in the earlier days
will be enacted again. There is evil
dence in existence that Col. Dyer pro-
missed Smith and Bradley that they
should not be interfered with during
his term as mayor and the action of the
acting mayor and council in the case
causes the knowing ones to wink sig
nificantly and use words not at all
comph antary to. the officials con-
cerned. The fact is that many are
disguised with the carrying out of the
orders and rulings of the old arhitra-
ton boards and charges of frauds are
heard in man y instances.

sions, in which he calls the attention
of that officer to the following regula-
ton applicable to the pension bureau:

precede them should they know the
facts that such action is proper; heI e.
after no case will be advanced that is
not clearly within this rule

1T is hereby further ordered that this
rule will be extended so as to embrace
cases only where the applicant is in
very great restitution or at the point
OF death. This regulation will not on
IL be enforced, but attorneys. agents
or others persisting in applications

Northern Pacific will this fall receive
their first dividend in cash. What the
dividend shall be of course depend upon
the results of the years work. Should
the present estimates prove correct 1t
will certainly not be less than three
per cent. The present estimates call
for Il surplus of $500, 600 over fixed
charges. The surplus of the previous
year foots up about the same amount,
which will make the total sum availa-
BILE for dividends something in the
neighbOrhood of 81 zoo, 900. The
amount of preferred stock is S3S ,5OO.-
600. OF the net earnings of the current
year a sum very close to 81 600 600
has been expended upon the road bed.
As the company needs money for adj

me for objecting to bill of fare that

The truth is, thepunishment inflicted
