WASHINGTON, April 25.-Commis.
sioner Stockslager, of the general land
office, to day said from present indications
contests ovcr land in Oklahoma would
ultimately involve nearly every quarter
section of land in that territory. This
being the case he thought 1t probable that
the department would make Oklahoma
contest cases a separate class. and dispose
of them at once. Otherwise, in the or
binary course of business. it would likely
be eighteen months or two years before
they could be reached. Contests in which
abandonment is charged could not be
passed upon until after the expiration OF
six months; but cases in which charges of
fraud or violation of the law or the presi-
dents proclamation about going into terri.
tory prior to ApIil % are made could
be tried and disposed OF at once.

Guthrie special says: Guthrie is thirty

have been erected and the sound of the
hammer greets one on every side. Two
banks are doing a good business aud at
the post Office things are running along
smoothly. Congressman Weaver OF Iowa
was here to-day and addressed a large
crowd advising settlers to organize and to
provide for local government at once. To
supply water it was ordered at a meeting
of the committee on public order that a
public well be dug on each half section
of the town plat. Citizens of West
Guthrie held an election yesterday; Jas.
Dooley of Iowa was elected mayor and a
full ticket including councilmen was
chosen. At 8 O'Clock this morning there
were 425 men in line at the land office and
at 9:l5 there were 233 men in line at the
post office, 600 having already been waited

Bold Highway Robbery.

DENVER, April Psf. A. Van Husen,
wholesale dealer in tobacco at 522 Elgh.
tenth street, was knocked down and
robbed of $l5, 600 on Stout street, oppo-
site the High school, at s O'Clock last
night. He reported his loss at the police
station at once and the detectives are now
at work on the case. Mr.. Van Husen
was assaulted by two men. One struck
him from behind twice and knocked him
senseless. His coat had been cut open,
and when he recovered, two packages of
money, containing respectively $4,000
and IS. 00e, were gone.
The occasion OF Mr.. Van Husen having
$4,000 in his possession was the result
ola peculiar concurrence OF circumstances
and his being assaulted demonstrates that
he had been Swallowed from the time the
money was placed in his hands. From .
o clock in the afternoon until the hour of
the robbery his steps had been Swallowed
and every movement undoubtedly
watched.
Mr.. Van Husen and Mr.. A. NJ. Ghost,
the well known real estate dealer, contem-
plated an investment in A]lbudueruue.
They intended leaving on las: nights
train Tor that point. About 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon they drew $4,000
from a bank, intending to send the
money by express to Albuquerque, as
they were not acquainted in that city and
could not be identified if the money had
been in the form of a draft. They found.
however, that the express charges were
too high and decided to deposit the money
again and obtain drafts.
Upon returning from the express office,
the banks had closed, and it was then
determined that Mr.. Van Husen should
remain until morning to get the draft and
MIR. Ghost to go on.
At s O'Clock in the evening Mr.. Van
Husen was or his way homeward with
the money, in W packages, in his inside
vest pocket. He had no weapons, but
was naturally on the alert. Two men, as
he stated came up behind him on Stout
street, walking rather faster than he was,
but yet not at a pace to excite his suspic-
IONS. As they approached he stepped
slightly aside and was struck in the back
of the head. The first blow did not stun
him completely and as he fell against the
fence he turned to fight and struck at tee
man nearest him. He then received an
other blow which knocked him scnseless,
The next he knew was when he revived
lying on the walk. His coat and vest
were both torn and cut and the packages
OF money were gone.
The men who did the work were, be-
yond any question, cool and determined
holdups. They had undoubtedly seen the
money drawn from the banks, and had
patiently Swallowed both Mr.. Ghost and
MIR. Van Husen to the express office,
back again to the banks and had become
certain that the valuable packages were
not transferred. Then they logged Van
Husen's steps until he was sufficiently
tar from the business center to make their
desperate assault comparatively safe.

LITTLE Rock, April 25.-There was
something of a sensation in the federal
court TO- day when the grand jury marched
into open court with c. G. Reid, a young
attorney of Morrillton. and asked him
questions about the Plummeryille ballot
box theft, which he refused to answer.
The question was, Did o. T. Bentley
have any conversation with you in rela-
ton to. or did he tell you, anything about
the Plummerville ballot box" In court
he again refused to answer, and the Judge
asked him if he and Bentley sustained
the relation of client and attorney to each
other This Reid refused to answer, and
the Judge gave him until tomorrow to
answer one of the two questions. o. 7.
Bentley is deputy sheriff, and according
to Taylor's confession was one of the
party who went from Morrellton to Plum
merville with the crowd that stole the
ballot box.

The Northern Pacific and Oregon
TranscontinentaI.

New YoRK, April 25.-At a special
meeting of Northern Pacific directors to-
day resolutions agreeing to the arbitration
contract for the control and harmonious
operation Of the roads in the Pacific
Northwest were rcscinded. This ends
the scheme to obtain a guarantee of divi-
dend on the Oregon Navigation stock
from the Northern Pacific Jointly with
the Union Pacific and throws the burden
of the lease on the Union Pacific.
1t was announced that Brayton Ives,
who is one OF the most active members of
the Northern Pacific board, had resigned
his office of vice president OF the Oregon
TranscontInental company to take effect
May |. This is understood to indicate
that the relations of the old Northern Pa
cific directors with Willard have been
severed and it is expected that the repre-
sentatives of the Oregon Transcontinental
in the Northern Pacific will withdraw
from the Northern Pacific directory.

New York, April ga man who is
abundantly qualified by his connection
with the centennial celebration committee
to speak advisedly, told a Tribune re-
porter yesterday that the trouble with the
diplomatic corps over invitations to fhc
ball, instead of being settled satisfactorily
as was stated in a recent document issued
for publication by the entertainment COM
mlttee, had become so serious that the
principal members of the corps had final
ly and positively refused to come. Mot
a member of the diplomatic corps" said
he, will be in attendance at the ball,
with the possible exception of the Brazil
Ian minister, Baron De TIA Juba. or in
his absence, Senior Jose Augusta Ferreira
DE Costa, secretary Of the legation. The
trouble with the diplomats originated in
the omission by the entertainment com
mittee to enclose to the foreign ministers
invitations to the ball for the ladies Of
their families as well as for themselves.
