Crooked Claims in ok1ahon,a.

An associated press dispatch from Guthrie, Oklahoma, says: The whole townsite was homesteaded repeatedly. Forty applications under the right of public domain were filed at the land office and some very beautifully com plicated law suits will follow. It looks only fair that those who were there in advance of the authorized hour. and who grabbed land for the corporation that backs them, should be disposses- sed and the whole site placed i'll a fair and even reach of all. It is almost certain, however, that for all its pres ent prestige, that for everything going 10 Guthrie, there can never be town of any importance there. The sur rounding country Is sterile and with the exception of small pieces of bottom lands can grow nothing but buffalo grass and cactus. The adjacent stream
 Is small and alkali is ill 1t and we'll water is deep and scarce. The tenn perature turns from blighting cold to whitening heat, and there are long periods of drought and irregular oc- casions of floods and hurricanes. Guthrie was found already staked out when the first train got there Some ugly rumors were at once started and refiecting on United States officers and officials of the Santa Fe road Il is claimed that the directors car of that road has been at Guthrie several days, and that they, as well as government officials, conniyed with men hiding iu | the brush on the west bottom that 1 these officials had the town all laid out quietly, and had an understand ing with these brush hiders, so they all rushed in and staked off claims be. fore any train arrived. Persons who arrived on the regular train from the south say that hundreds of claims were staked out at Guthrie when they got there. A sixty-room hotel will be shipped from Kansas City and ready for business at Guthie by Saturday.

Hostile Indians.

A telegram from San Simon, New Mexico says: George w. Stratton superintendent of the San Simon Cat tie Company, and Sheriff Whitehill, of Silver City, came into San Simon Monday night, and stated that two men had come into the Headquarters Ranch, owned by Head & Hearst, from Deer Creek, 60 miles south from San Simon, where they had been mining, and said that band of Indians had come onto and fired at two men, shoot ing one through both legs. They then captured the wounded man and put him on a stove and roasted him to death. All the horses were then gath cred up and the Indians left with them in the direction of Mexico, fol lowed by four vaqueros. The vaqu- sros judging from the trail think there is large band of Indians out. The point where the Indians are said to have done this devilish work is on a direct line between the San Carlos Reservation and Sierra Madres. The murdered mans name was Cody.
