THAT was an interesting story detailed
in yesterdays GAZETTE concerning the
method Of Senator Bowen s election to
the United States senate from Colorado
six years ago. 1t was charged at the
time that the result was brought about
by stutf1ng the pockets of the members of
the legislature. 1t is now stated by the
Denver News that it was caused by stuff
ing the ballot box OF the Republican eau
Gus with fraudulent votes. The difficulty
about the story is its assumption of the
veFdaney and Innocence of the RepabH-
can members of the Colorado legislature

THE OWNERSHIP or oKLAHo7VA

| THE OWNERSHIP or OKLAHOMA.
Chicago Herald: There Is among the
great masses of the people total mis-
apprehension of the Oklahoma matter.
Many suppose it to be an Indian reserva-
| ton; others think it to be unoccupied
territory which the government refuses
to permit to be occupied by settlers OF
grazers. A brief outline of the land in
Guided in what is known as Oklahoma
may be of value at this period of general
misunderstanding
In 1886, soon after the close of the
civil war, the Federal government, I'M
certain what to do with the freedmen
not then having decided to keep them IN
the South and use them for Re-
publican voters-fnalIy decided to
COLOMBO them in Indian Territory
To this end it negotiated separately
with the Cherokees, the Creeks /,
the Chickasaws and the Choetaws
the civilized tribes-for the purchase
from each of them of portion of their
territory. From the Cherokees the gov
eminent agreed to take all the land lying
west of the nInety-sixth degree and a
strip running along the north border of
Indian Territory, eighty miles wide,
and which had been retained by the
Cherokees to secure an outlet TO the
hunting regions lying west of the terri
tOrv.
From the Greeks the government nego-
tiated the west half of their country,
and from the Choctaws and Chiekasaws
all of their country west of the ninety
eighth degree of longitude, and from the
Seminoles snail slip which adjoined the
other lands. The area thus negotiated
for is about 800 miles in length by about
210 in width. In each instance
the purchase was made on the
ground that the new territory should be
used for the settlement Of freedmen and
friendly Indians The entire acreage of
the purchase amounts to about fourteen
million acres. Except in the case of the
Creeks, no portion of the price agreed on
has been paid by the government. The
Creeks received a small payment at the
beginning of the deal.
This is, in brief, an outline of the area,
location, manner of purchase, and
present condition of what is known as
Oklahoma. 1t was SO bargained by the
various tribes on the condition that it
should be used for a specific purpose and
should be paid for 1t has not been paid
for, nor has it been used for the purpose
for which it was sold. Enthusiastically,
then, the lands still belong to their orig
inal owners, and are not open to sale or
presumption.

THE st. Stephens Qondon) Review
writes of the Samoan question in way
to lead one to think that, with some
Englishmen at least, blood is thicker
than water The Review says; s'The
correspondence on the Samoan question
between the governments of Germany
and the United States seems to indicate
that Prince Bismarck has been playing
with a high, imperious hand indeed !,
and hand which is evidently
beginning to lose its cunning. The
German chancellor cannot for one mo-
ment imagine that America Is to be in
suited with impunity Prince Bismarck
no doubt thinks that the Yankee win not
dare to take his own part, knowing, as
he must do, that the German feet can
steam to Sandy Hook in ten days and
shell all the towns along the coast from
New York to New Orleans; but mayhap
it does not enter even into the decaying
blood which binds these islands to Co
lumbia would never permit German
fleet so to operate. 1t is just as well to
inform him of this fact, but if he doubts
it let him instruct his secret agents over
here-and there are plenty-to ask cas-
ual hundred of Englishmen the question.
He will find at least 80 per cent win I'M
hesitatingly reply that before the Kron
Prinz could rain Its iron shower on
Broadway the Benbow and the Inflexible

sentative and business elements of the
city. Mayor Roche, who win be the Re-
publican candidate, was elected by a
combination of Democrats with Republi-
cans at the ballot box. He has gravely
disappointed the men who elected him by
concessions to the anarchists, and it is
probable that the issue upon which he
was elected viii be the issue upon which
he win be ousted from office.

THE WEST KILLING.

The Coroner of the Opinion That the killing
was Justifable
Correspondence of the Gazette.
DEXTER, TEX. Feb. 5.-Report has
just reached here of a killing in Della
ware Bend, ten miles north of here en-
Red river. One West was killed and
young man named Harrison wounded
The inquest will be held to-day by Esquire
W. N Boyd.
Later the following facts were learned
by Esquire W. II. Boyd, who held the
inquest to-day over the man that was
killed. Last night about ii clock sew
eral parties were in J. s. Brown 8
store in Delaware Bend where Dave
Harrison is employed as clerk.
Bob Ragsdale was in the crowd and was
drinking or drunk, and tried to get to
Harrison who was behind the counter to
whip him. Ragsdale was caught and
held back by others, but struggled so to
get to Harrison that Harrison picked up
81 pistol he had behind the
counter and told those hold
ing Ragsdale to turn him loose
At that instant Charley West, one of
Ragsdale s colleagues, shot Harrison in
the abdomen with q pistol, inflicting q
going to the hollow; whereupon Harri-
son, with pistol already drawn, turned
on West and shot him twice, once
in the left ear, a CHANGING shot; the
next shot just above the left eye, the ball
passing through the head and lodging
against the skin in the back of the head,
which killed him instantly The coro-
ner's opinion of Harrison 5 being justih-
able, after getting the evidence, was
shown by his not having Harrison
arrested nor held in bond HARRISON is
about twenty years old, is a quiet bov
and is well liked by all who know him
Charley West was apparently about thirty
years old. He came here some time ago
from out west, where he had been run
ming cattle.
BcRIED AT wHITEsBoRo.
Correspondence Of the Gazette.
WHITEsBoRo, TEX, Feb. IG-The
body of Charlie West was brought home
by his father and mother and deeenfly
buried in the Whitesboro cemetery to-
day. It appears that at a neIghborhood
social some misunderstanding had &C.
Cured, and afterwards the gentlemen
adjourned to Brown s store. West drew
his pistol on Harris who is quite a
youth) and told him 90 drop his
pistol, and fired. Harris fired two
shots, and West was killed.
Harris is not badly hurt The sympathy
of the community is in favor of Harris,
as Charlie West, though possessing many
good qualities, WIS considered danger
Gus man, and an alteration with him
amounted to q life and death struggle.
In this case, as THE GAZETTE has always
claimed, the law win be duly admlnis-
tered.

THE senator from Tarrant is perhaps
not so full Of the buoyancy and hope of
youth as the senator from Dallas, and it
may be that there is not such an even and
symmetrical distribution of curly locks
upon his Uranium as upon that of the
senator from Dallas; but when it comes
TO a race for local measure it is safe to
give heavy odds on the senator from
Tarrant.

OBSERTE THE DR.

Next Tuesday, April 30th, is the
day set by the president of the
United States to celebrate the
Tooth anniversary of the Inaugural
tion of the first president of the
United states, George Washington.
This is day that should be OBJ
served all over the land as a ma
tional holiday and when the presi-
dent set aside that occasion he did
SO with the thought that it would
be observed by every body. Now,
il is hoped that the business men
of this city will close their stores
on Monday night next and not
open them until Wednesday morn
ing, and thereby give all their
clerks rest, and every one else
tho. If you are in need of any,
firing in the grocery line make
your purchases on Monday, and
likewise in all other things needed.
Let their be a general observance
of the day; interesting services
will be held in the Congregational
church commencing at 9 a. M,
and it is desired that all be present
who can possibly.
Do not close your store for only
few hours; keep the doors shut
all day. Probably you will not be
able to open them anyway at the
next centennial anniversary o1
this occasion.

IT is reported that as last re-
sort should the supreme court fail
to recognize the governor as the
only law giver of the land he
threatens to finally defeat the
operation of the railroad commits
sion law and sustain the appoint
ment of himself and Colonel
Biggs by continuing to refuse to
recognize the bonds of the com
missioners elected by the legisla-
ture. The governor has, through
out his whole administration, laid
himself liable to the severe crit.
cism of every intelligent man in
the state, but this last idea of his
puts the climax on a series of fol
lies which stand probably without
a parallel in modern times and
brands him as a very small mar
although very great egotist.
