CONFUSION IS KING.
Dep1orable Condition of Affairs in
the promised Land"

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. April 25.-
Chaos relgns not only in Oklahoma, but
in the entire tributary country. The
railroad is Frustrated, communications
are entirely cut off. The Western
Union, with its crush of train dispatch
ing, would not touch message of any
other character in the territory, though
the earth swallowed town site. Guth-
rie'S back seems broken and there is a
furious stampede to get out. People
there are wild from the deprivati0ns
that lack of shelter, water and food i'm
pose upon them. To these distresses
are added the misfortunes of tempest,
heat and the absence of means of fight.
When your correspondent reached Will
low Springs from the Diamond Bar
ranch, he learned from the dispatches
that neither the North nor South
bound passenger trains, shortly due,
had been heard from. An hour of
waiting passed, when train of twenty
cattle cars crept up from the South.
The cars were locked, but upon the
roofs, the buffers, amid the coal on the
tender, on the pilot and gangway of the
locomotive, and packed i'll upon the ca
boOSe, was
DENSE AND MISERABLE THRONG,
of men. The train from Guthrie had
started with its strange load at in the
evening. 1t was useless to attempt to
enforce the laws restrictive of railroad
travel. The people were fleeing practi-
cally for their lives. They had added
to long periods of privation the suffer-
ing of seventeen hours without food or
protection from the cold. No train
had passed them and none in
sight behind. They had left a
bowling mob in Guthrie, baffled
in its efforts to join in the flight. The
uselesSneSS of proceeding to Guthrie
was apparent, and the correspondent
secured footing for one foot and re-
turned to this point with the laggard
train. Since dark other freight trains
have followed, having made the eighty
five miles from Guthrie in from six to
fourteen hours, The cars are piled with
fugitives, thirsty and famine stricken,
and Arkansas City is crowded as it
was before the descent. Some expert
ences are pitiful. A terrible storm last
night raised the miseries of Guthrie to
almost horror. A violent wind arose
as the sun sunk and filled the air with
the sitting red alkili dust that strews
the plain. A deluge of rain succeeded.
and throughout the night beat upon
the
THOUSANDS OF SHELTERLESs.
The railroad is totally incompetent in
the emergency. and is delivering bag
gage and express too slowly to be of use
TO the unprotected. The fugitives

CHICAGO, April 25.-A sensation was
caused in church circles in this-city this
morning by the publication of the fact
that minister's wife had been arrested
on charge of shoplifting The case
came up in the Armory police court this
morning. The accused is Mrs. Jennie
Kirkham, the wife of the Rev. f. M.
Kirkham, editor of the Christian Oracle,
and pastor of the Christian church at
Th1rty-Seventh street and Indiana ave-
nue.. The Rev. Mr.. Kirkham is we'll
known Iowa divine who came to Chi
cago only a few months ago. Mrs. Kirk
ham is sister of Gen. Drake, of Des
MOines, the founder of Drake univer-
sity. The manager of the store in
which she was arrested stated
to the magistrate that he
and another person had seen
the woman steal articles i'm the store;
that when she was arrested and
searched articles to the value of SIS to
$40 were found concealed about her
person; that she confessed her guilt to
the policeman who arrested her, and
that she offered to pay considerably
more than the goods were worth to get
out of it. Mrs. Kirkham's attorney
stated that the things were put into
Mrs. Kirkham's pocket by domestic
whom she had hired. and that she sup
posed it was all right. though the things
were passed to her without having been
wrapped up. The employees of the store
declare that there was no girl with her.
After the hearing had been postponed
female prisoner in the armory, who
occupied the same cell with Mrs. Kirk
ham, stated that the latter had en-
deayored to bribe her to swear that she
had stolen the things and had given
them to Mrs. kirkham

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 25.-The Re-
public's Arkansas City, Kan, special
says: The refugees who have left
Oklahoma and taken up quarters in the
Cherokee outlet are to be driven
from their present stopping places.
Orders to that effect have
been issued by Gen. Merritt and
Capt. Hayes expects to carry them out
in a day or two. There are now fully
200 families camped. in wagons and
tents along the line which divides the
outlet from the territory of Oklahoma,
this side of it. Nearly all of them are
in a condition of poverty, and but few
have the means and less the disposition
to move on. Nearly all of
them have expressed a determina-
ton to remain in the strip
until that country is open to settlement.
Capt. Hayes will carry out the orders of
Gen. Merritt and great deal of suffer-
ing, if not actual blOodshed is feared in
consequence. Another danger which
threatens these unfortunate settlers is
the probable rising of the Ponca In
dians, on whose reservation most of
that the Poncas
HELD A WAR DANCE
night before last and resolved to dig up
the hatchet in case their lands are en-
croached upon. The Ponca braves are
not numerous, but are very well armed.
The settlers are not deIenseless, as
nearly every man in the outfit carries a
rifle and revolvers. 1t is known that
the Ponca chieftain, Standing Buffalo,
has gone to Washington to pro-
test against the occupancy of the
Cherokee lands by white settlers.
1t is possible that the troops may be
called upon to defend the settlers from
the Indians or the Indians from the set
tiers before the trouble is ended. Every
train passing through here to the north
is loaded with people going out of Okla
homa territory in a huge state of dis
gust. The inflowing tide is not so great
and it is evident that a reaction has set
in. The news from Guthrie and ali
points below to-day is of a peaceful
character.

SETTLING DOWN.
Organization of a Provisional
Government at Guthrie.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 25.-A
special from Guthrie to the Times says:
a dozen new and substantial houses
have been erected, and the sound of the
hammer greets one on every side.
The two banks are doing a good
BUSINESS at the postoffice things are
running more smoothly. Congressman
Weaver. of Iowa, was here to-day and
addressed large crowd, advising the
settlers to organize and to provide for
local government at once. This after
noon the committee on public order,
consisting of twenty-eight settlers, rep
resenting as many different states and
territories, held meeting and ap-
pointed corps of official surveyors
who are to survey and plat the
town. Siles Anderson was appointed
city marshal with six assistants. The
laws OF Kansas and the municipal
regulations of Wichita were selected to
prevail until charter can be obtained.
Judge r. M. Clark was appointed pro-
visional police judge. To supply
fHater it was ordered that public well
be dug on each half section of the
town plat. The citizens of West
Guthrie held an election yester-
day. James DoOley, of Iowa, was elect
ed mayor and full ticket, including
couneilmen, was chosen. At a few min
uteS past SO'clOck this morning by act
ual count there were 425 men in line at
the land Office, and, at 9:15 a. m. there
223 men in line at the pOstoffice, 500 hav-
ing already been waited on.

ASHLAND, Wis, April 25.-During
terrific gale which ragged on Lake Su-
perior early yesterday morning the
steamer Australasia and consort George,
which were making for this port light
for ore. were driven on the beach of
Michigan Island, near Bayfield,. one OF
the Apostle group. The hulls ana
sterns of both boats were battered IN;
the beach being very rocky and peril
Gus. The AustralaSia's shoe, rudder
and wheel are gone and she is seriously
damaged. while her consort also Jared
badly. The boats filled with water and
are at the mercy of the storm. Capt.
Reid, commander of the Australasia,
telegraphed COrrigan Bros, OF Cleve-
land, her owners, and tugs with steam
pumps will be sent to endeavor to re-
lease the vessels. One of the COrrlganS
will come to Ashland Immediately. Your
correspondent was unable to ascertain
what the damage was, but it is certainly
great. The vessels are thought to be
fully insured. The captain OF the
steamer Aurora, which is loading atthiS
port, also owned by the Corrigans, was
telegraphed to by Capt. Reid for assist
ance. Both crews and captains went to
Bayheld in small boats. Michigan
Island beach is very dangerous and
several bad wrecks have occurred upon
1t before.
IT WAS DONE ON PURPOSE.
Capt. Reid. of the Australasia, tele-
graphs that he purpOsely beached his
vessel and cOnSOrt because of the fact
that she sprang leak and was sinking.
Her rudder was also gone. The near
proximity of the boats to the island
saved the lives of the crew, as furious
gale was blowing when they began to

cheer with joy as they alight here and
rush to the hydrants aud eating houses.
Cnrses are heaped upon the region and
the government. Marshals Needles
and Jones are eXecrated without stint
fer the theft of the land, and the rail
road is denounced for its feeble service.
Guthrie is without form. The origi-
nal streets have disappeared and
new sections are being plowed
every hour. Values have fallen
to practically nothing and con-
fidence is at low ebb. Those who are
not going home announce their inten-
ton of moving upon the Cherokee strip.
and report that hundreds of boomers
have already done so. Scores of men
surrendered their claims to lots in
Guthrie without an effort to preserve
or dispose of them. The south
bound passenger arrived after time,
crowded with pilgrims for Guthrie, and
few could be dissuaded by lamentations
of the tugitlves. 1t is impossible to
predict what the next few days will
develop in Guthrie.
