EVANS-ROOKE.

AS was announced yesterday, the
marriage of Robert j. Evans and Miss
Nellie Rookie took place last evening
about 7:3O O'Clock, in the parlors of the
Clinton hotel, the hostelry of which the
brides father is landlord. The knot
was tied by Rev. Draper, rector of St.
Andrews church, in the presence of a
limited number of friends and relatives.
who showered congratulations on the
welded couple. After the ceremony
was concluded, the guests were invited
to the dining room, where an
hour was spent in discussing the del
icacies with which the tables were
loaded. Having lived for a number of
years in this city, the bride and groom
are too well known to call for an ex-
tended notice at our hands.
Mr.. Evans has been connected with
the NEWS for more than year. He is
capable, industrious, honorable and
honest, and as city editor has so per-
formed his duties as to win the esteem
of all who know him.
The bride is charming young lady
whose character is embellished and
adorned with the qualities and traits
universally recognized as the first es-
sentials of womanhood. Their charac-
ter, ages and stations are admirably
suited to each other, and there is nc
reason apparent why they should moi
be happy in each others love until
death does them part.

Ingalls, men were wounded, and find
ing their ammunition was almost ex-
hausted they fed with the county
records and left the town as quickly as
their horses would take them. The.
Cimarron crowd followed in hot pur-
suit, emptying several guns at them,
but they finally gave up the chase.
In the meantime, Fred Senger and
four other Ingalls, men, who had been
standing guard in the court house, were
unable to Join their party, fearing they
would be shot as they left the building.
The building was soon surrounded by
mob of Cimarron men who endevored
to capture the prisoners and lynch
them, but Senger and his men were
well armed and began promiscuous
shooting among the crowd on the OUT
side and soon scattered them. Coca
sional shots were exchanged between
the two parties for two or three hours.
The five men remained fortified in the
building until the morning, when they
were released by thesheriff and escort
ed out of the town by him.
Mr.. Schoup told the governor that the
party was headed by Watson, the new
Neglected county clerk. and that ne had
employed the other men, most or whom
were desperadoes and COWBOYS, well
known on the frontier, to terroriZe the
Cimarron people and take the records
by force. Daniels, one of the leaders
of the gang, is known as a killer, and
Jim Johnson is another outlaw, who,
is said, has openly boosted that he has
taken the lives of twelve men since he
has been on the frontier, and that no
one has dared to touch him for any OF
the crimes.

~. p,tail, Of n. rrouble A. Cimarrop


TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. Al. Schoup,
chairman of the board of county COM
snissioners of Gray county, arrived
here this afternoon from the scene of
the county seat war to lay the matter
before Governor Martin. He saws the
militia arrived Just in time to prevent
another battle, as the Ingalls, people
were preparing TO make another as
sault upon the town, and have threat
ened to kill the Cimarron leaders the
first time an opportunity presents.
Mr.. Schoup told the governor there
would be more trouble and says the
people of both towns are so intensely
excited over the matter that only the
presence of strong force of militia
will prevent another bloody conflict.
Mr.. Schoup was in his office in the
court house when the Ingalls, crowd all
heavily armed with pistols and shot
guns, suddenly entered the town and
surrounded the county building. The
hrst knowledge he had of the invasion
was when the leader of tie mob opened
the door of his Office and. covering him
with a Winchester, exclaimed: IN
put bullet through your head if you
novel,
All the other county officers were
held up in the same way, so that it was
impossible for them to offer any resis-
lance. Reilly, the county clerk, saw
the ingalls, crowd coming to the court
house, and, anticipating that they had
come TO capture the records. he locked
his office. After they had stationed
guards over all the officers, one
OF the mob broke into the county
n frk's Office, overpowered Reilly, who
tas in the vault; and took possession
II all the records, loading them into
two wagons which they brought for the
purpose.
While this was being done, three of
the ingalls, men stood in the doorways
OF the court house and fired at any
Clmarrop man who showed his head.

County Scat War.

WICHITA, Kan. 12.-There has for
year past been serious conflict be-
tween the towns of Cimarron and In
gals. The county offices, excepting
clerk and surveyor have been mt Ingalls,
for nearly year. At recent election
MR. Watson, an Ingalls, man, was
elected clerk, but the commissioners
refused to canvass the vote
until the supreme court issued an
order for them to do SO. This
morning deputy sheriffs went to CHM
AKRON to place Watson the clerk elect in
once and remove the county records to
Ingalls,, when they were fired on by a
mob Of from 200 to 800 Cimarron SYM
pathizers. The fire was returned with
q vengeance, and when the firing
ceased it was found that John English
and j. Bliss, two prominent citizens of
simarron were killed and quite num-
y. Ser wounded. Geo. w. Rolds, a depu-
~ sheriff, was shot in the leg, and
rafnuel Breeks and G. RoJhfelter, two
other deputies. received flesh wounds
in the arm and head.
The Cimarron people became infur-
lated over the killing of the two lead
ing citizens and charged in a body up
on 3 brick building in which Watson
ana the wounded deputies had taken
refuge. At last accounts firing was
going on at intervals between the be
nlged and besiegers, the latter using
house corners and other places for
shelter. If Watson and the deputies
fall into the hands of the Cimarron
people they will all be hung, and their
only safety is the time
IL arrival of outside assistance.
Governor Martin has telegIaphed Gen
eral M. Meyers of this city, directing
him to send a company of militia to
Cimarron at once to preserve the
peace and to go himself, and if he finds
one company insufficient to order
out another. General Meyers immedi
atelv notified Company A, III and G
OF the Second Regiment, Kansas
National Guards to be ready for duty
and with Adjutant Davis went tt
Larned where he will be met by Com
pany f and proceed to Cinnamon al
once.
