Riotine Over Oklahoma Lots.

The soldiers were called out few days ago
for the first time since the opening Of Okla
homa, and for several hours the city Of
Guthrie was partially under martial law.
One of the best lots in Guthrie was awarded
by the Board of Arbitration to a man
named Driscoll, of Chicago. An old man by
the name of Diemer, Of Kansas, occupied the
front of the same lot with tent. Driscou
erected building on rollers, ready to move
it to the front as soon as Diemer should va

Recently the Council passed an ordinance
empowering the Marshal to eject every per-
son whose claim for lot had been rejected
by the Arbitration Board. This put into
execution would affect over thon-
sand persons. The City Government made a
test case of the Driscoll-Diemer contest.
The Marshal proceeded to remove Diemer
and his tent Immediately a mob
of 1900 men collected and drove the Marshals
away The mob was about to attack the
City Hall when Captain Cavanaugh arrived
upon the scene and dispersed it, after which
the city authorities resumed the work OF
ejecting Diemer.
Diemer fought Ikea tiger and had to be
dragged from his tent to the street. Driscolls
building was rolled forward. The mob at
tempted to tear the house to pieces, but this
time the city authorities were able to repulse
the angry men without the aid Of soldiers.
That night soldiers guarded the principal
Streets and more trouble was anticipated

Areentine's Cattle Trade.

says it is understood that several establish

Great things are expected from this bounty

methods are adopted for the preparation
of beef for expectation. Stall fed cattle are
quite unknown in this country. and all
bullocks for the market are taken directly off

watery. Argentines, it is thought, will not
cut much of figure until thy learn that dry
food is absolutely necessary in order to pre-
pare fresh meat for very distant foreign
markets.

even play the piano a little. The process Of
addition ar& subtraction in small numbers
had also become familiar to her, and she
could count and conceive objects up to 100 in
number. She knew the days of the week
and divided the day by the beginning and
end of school by the recesses and By the ar
