A RUSSIAN EXILE'S RICHES.
A POOr.HOuse Inmate Who Had Over sc, 800
Secreted Under His Bed.
Special TO the Indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, March IA pau
per at the poOr-farm named Martin Cook
has been found to be a miser. The superin-
tendent accidently found that Cook had
thousands of dollars secreted under his bed.
The County Commissioners went out this
morning and investigated the affair. 1t was
found that Cook had $4,O5S.5O in gold, 81 in
silver, and S2.470 in greenbacks, making a
total of $6.5SO.1O. The commissioner
charged Cook 81 a week for board for
twenty-eight weeks that he had been there,
and $40 for clothes purchased by the
county for him, and allowed 81 per
week for his work. This made $40 that
he paid to the commissioners. The gold
was in a leather belt, which he carried
around his waist with memberships
when travelling, and the greenbacks were
in a large leather pocket-book. He said
that he had saved the money since 1850. He
is a gr%ey-haired man. rather feshy, and a
part of his nose is gone. This afternoon he
took his money and started toward Lafay-
cite, refusing to put it in any bank. He is
a Russian exile, who escaped while on the
road to Siberia. He afterwards joined the
French army under Napoleon III, and
served with Macmillan in Mexico. He has
always attended church. and was q we'll
informed person, speaking four languages.
He has lived in this county for several
years, and has always beat" his way
along. He is a tailor by trade.

Affairs of the Reading I~rOn-VVorks.

PHILADELPHIA, March IA meeting of
the creditors of the Reading irOn-wOrks
was held at the office of the cOmpa In
this city this afternoon. Fully fOur-tifths
of the total number of creditors were
either present or represented by counsel.
Mr.. Geo. +. Baer, a director of the COM
pany, and also its counsel, read a statement
of the financial condition of the corpora
ton. which showed the total liabilities to
be 81, 1921, 1892, and the assets g, 439, 500. 90.
A discussion followed as to whether the
works should be continued or whether
there should be a general shutdown. The
sentiment was largely in favor of continu-
ing operations at the works, and after con-
point a committee of three to conduct the
mills temporarily. On this COM
mittee the company and the cred
itOrs were represented, the former
by the appointment of director, Simon Sey-
fert, and the latter by Mr.. +. Patterson, a
heavy creditor. F. Swink. the general
manager of the works at Reading, was the
other member chosen. The committee will
continue in control for the time being, and
in the meantime a careful appraisement of
the assets will be made. Fol this purpose
q second committee of five was named, and
upon this the creditors and the company
were given representation. Another COM
mittee will go to work at once IN prepare
a plan of reorganization. This committee
will report at a meeting to be held Thurs
meeting, the date for which will then be
agreed upon. The members of the commit
tee are all bankers, and are as follows:
President Rogers of the Tradesman's
Bank; F.. T. Clark, Edward III. Nichols and
Peter Hollis.

A COOL AND PLUCKY WOMAN.
By Her Presence of Mind and Steady Nerve
She Saves the Life of Her Wounded Lover.

DOUGLAS, w. T., March THE widow
McCool, only eighteen years ODD, has been
station agent at Dry Cheyenne. on the
stage route between there and Buffalo. She
is brunette and pretty. and commanded
the admiration of all the cattle men for
miles around. After refusing a dozen of
fers she accepted Martin Hun
toon. a wealthy ranchman. and
they were to be married in
May. Last week a blonde-haired young
Englishman, named James Kidd, who is
travelling for an Omaha provision house.
appeared in that region. and bis good looks
and gentle ways produced an impression.
He went to Buffalo, transacted his business
in a hurry, returned to Dry Cheyenne last
Saturday, and that night took the widow
to a dane twenty miles away, at Sheriff
Williams's ranch. ,Huntoon was insanely
jealous, and his cowbOysw were ordered to pick
a quarrel with the tenderfOot aud shoot
him If possible. The programme was car
ried out, but Kidd pulled two six-shooters
and backed up against a closed door lead
ing to a bedroom. When the shooting be-
gan the lights were extinguished. Ed Cook,
HuntoOn's foreman. dropped dead from one
of Kidd's bullets, and three OF four others
were wounded. Kidd was shot i'm the
arm. and the gang were closing in
on him, when the door behind him suddenly
opened, he was dragged into the bedroom.
and the door as quickly bolted again. The
pretty widow, instead of fainting, had got
into the bedroom from the rear. and Kidd
owed his life to her GOODNESS. His escape
i'll the darkness was not discovered. Kidd
secured a saddle horse, and. placing the
widow in front of him. gallOped oft. The
couple were terribly exhausted when
they reached here, Sunday night.
After refreshments they hired "a
team and driver and pushed over
the line to ChadrOp. Neb. where thew vera
married. Sheriff Williams. Huntoon and a
dozen cowboys got here ten hours behind
them, having first gone to Dry Cheyenne.
They were terribly enraged when they
lead, but started for ChadrOn. They have
not returned this way, and it is believed
that the clippers reached a railway station
and are now in safety.

THE OKLAHOMA LANDS.
The Grabbers Begin to Arrive in Force, and
There Is a Prospect of Serious Trouble.

OKLAHOMA, /. T., March THE situation
in Oklahoma is growing critical. Between
two and three hundred men have taken MP
claims in the immediate vicinity of this
place. Nearly all the valuable land in the
river bottom, from the neighbOrhOOd of
Fort Reno ON the west to the PottawatO-
mic reservation on the east, has been taken
up and is held by the usual squatters.
Scores of men are slipping in ON all sides,
and the influx of boomers by the rail-
road has begun. Last nights train
south-bound was filled with passengers
for Purcell. and it is reported that Harry
Hill has started with 400 men. They will
be met here by Colonel Cole and several
hundred boomers from the western border
of the Territory. The crowds of anxious
boomers who have been waiting at Purcell
for weeks can scarcely be held back, and
altogether the indications are that there
will be fully 1900 men here inside of a
week, unless the military moves from Fort
Reno at once. Preparations for q raid have
been going or for some time, and it is eX-
pected they will move tomorrow or next
day. The probabilities are, however, that
"a raid of the soldiers would only result in a
scattering Of the squatters through the
woods, as they are already within the
limits of Oklahoma in sufficient numbers to
come back faster than they can be sent out.
1t is the universal prayer that the Presi-
dent may issue his proclamation soon, de-
clare the country open to settlement at
once. and not set the date ahead, as it is
feared he will do.

CHICAGO, March 7.-To-day's Times pub
fishes a New York special to the effect that
the alleged candidacy of Mr.. Alexander
Sullivan for the presidency of the Irish
National League is creating a bitter con-
troversy in the New York branches of the
league. When Mr.. Sullivan's attention was
called to this he said: THE people who
were engaged in controversy must be
quite barren of subjects to discuss. On
Monday last a Chicago evening paper pub
fshed the following, which explains my
position:
In an interview, printed this morning, the
Hon. John Fitzgerald, president OF the Irish Ma
tional League of America, suggests Alexander
sullivan as his successor. Mr.. Sullivan, when
asked II he was q candidate for that office, said:
mo, / would not accept that or any other Office.
MY exclusive attention must be given to my
business. 1 am out OF public affairs IL Is not
likely that 1 shall even be able To attend the con-
vention. But, whether present or absent, L
would not accept any office. Having. made this
statement so explicitly, 1 shall consider the fur-
tner mention OF my name as q candidate Tor any
Office an act which does not come from a friend.
L appreciate that friends, Mr.. Fitzgerald among
them, used my name In all kindness heretofore:
Hereafter they cannot do 40. know / have had
more than nay share of honors. and L think l
have done my share of the work"
Mr.. Sullivan said it was unnecessary to
add a word to his interview of last Mon
day. although he would be very glad to do
so If some one would kindly indicate tn
him how he cOuld state with any greater
force the fact that his time was wholly alb
sorbed in his profession, and that he would
accept no Office of any kind.

that an international conference of en-
gineers be summoned. He moved an order
of the day appealing to the government to

Nj. Rouvier, Minister of Finance, dis
claimed any responsibility on the part of

its utmost for the success of the canal, but
he could say no more.
