CITIZENS MEETINGS.

KANSAS CITY, April 23.-Up to midnight
not quarrel on the Guthrie town site had
occurred. The citizens o'clock meeting
adjourned to 6. The great anxiety of
every one was information about the size
of lots. There was great indignation
over the fact that people had gone on the
ground before IL O'Clock and it was the
general sentiment that all such should be
singled out and debarred. This would
throw out prominent men, for Judge
Clayton, of Arkansas, and many others
held Guthrie meeting before IL o'clock
There is also some indignation over
100 or more deputy marshals who used
their authority as cloak to get on the
ground and resigned at noon. They all
have lots. They are to be singled out
and complaints lodged against them.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
4 shat every invader should be complained
y f and efforts made to drive them out.
1.-The feeling is very strong in this matter.
After criers had gone over the town
great crowd gathered on the highest eleva-
tion to attend the meeting. Fully 1000
persons were present. Ex-Mayor Con-
stantine was selected to preside. Ad-
dresses we're made by half a dozen or
more prominent men from different parts
of the country and strong feeling was
manifested against premature settlers
which will likely lead to the forfeiture of
their claims. Preliminary steps were
taken toward surveying the land and lay
ing out the streets of Guthrie.
About O'Clock yesterday evening
pistol report across Cottonwood creek,
east of the depot, outside of the town
site attracted attention; in a moment a
man on horseback went over the hills at
breakneck speed. Two deputy United
States marshals went over but were told
4 nothing had occurred.
A Star representative got boat and
scrossed the stream, however, to investi-
gate. In the bushes were collected half
dozen men on the ground and beside
half made grave was stretched all that
was lett of s. 7. Camps. A ball from
revolver had passed entirely
through his breast coming out of
the back. He lived half an hour after
being shot and was dead when the Star
reporter reached him. Efforts we're made
TO conceal the body, and only on assur-
[. auce of the strictest confidence they al
lowed the eporter there, and then he did
not reveal his business. The fact was at
once recognized that Camps and his part
.ner had entered Guthrie on ponies. All
the lots were gone, and they swan the
! Oottonwood and had staked claim. As
] they we're driving the last stakes fellow
WAS discovered in the bushes on the bank
AZ the creek. This man said he had

Behavior and Doings of the Boom
ers in Oklahoma-Laying
Off the Towns.
Difficulty of Settling the Titles.
The First Murder is Com
mitted IN Guthrie.

GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, April 23.-While
spectators we're wrangling yesterday over
plans to make this city, the whole town
was homesteaded repeatedly. Forty sp-
plications under the right of public do
main were filed at the land Office and
some very beautifully complicated law
suits will follow. 1t looks only fair that
those who were there in advance of the
siushosized hour and who grabbed the
and for the corporation that backs them
should be dispossessed and the whole site
placed in fair and even reach of all. 1t
il almost certain, however, that for all its
present prestige-for everything is going
to Guthrie-there can never be town of
any Importance there. The surrounding
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 aka
line and well water is deep and scarce.
The temperature turns from blighting
cold to whitening heat and there are long
periods of orouth and irregular ooca-
sions of floods and hurricanes.
As Guthrie was found already staked
3out when the first tram got there, some
ugly rumors were at once stated rejecting
on United States officers and officials OF
the Santa Fe road. It is claimed that ths
directors car, of that road, has been at
Guthrie several days, and they, as VOL as
the government officials, connived with
men hiding in the brush on the west bot
tom; that these officials had the town all
laid out quietly, and had an understanding
with these brush hiders, so they all rushed
in and staked off the claims before 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 Guthrie by
Saturday.
FILING THEIR CLAIMS.
KANSAS CITY, April ga Star cor
Respondent, who had been at Guthrie all
night, returned to Arkansas City to day
and sends the following to his paper: The
first homestead filed at Guthrie was Mark
IS. Cohen, of Fort Smith, ARR. The first
Isoldier to file declaratory statement wss
Benton Turner, who was private in Com
pany 1, Sixth Illinois cavalry. During
yesterday three town sites, Guthrie, Okla
homa City and Edmunds, three homestead
and twenty -one soldiers declaratory state
ments we're filed.
At 1915 p. m. VIM. Johnson, heading
the little procession at the land Office, laid
down rough chart of Guthrie and filed it
as town site. This was the first paper
presented. Four clerks for land offices
from Washington arrived yesterday, two
for Kingfsher and two here. Land Reg
lister Ollie stated this. morning that the
Kingfisher land Office would not be open
until Thursday.

Stories of Abe Lincoln always
pass as coin everywhere, and it is
not too late for one told by his son
to a friend in Washington. "My
father" said Robert Lincoln, "liked
to stroll about Washington without
any escort or show of distinction,
and he sometimes strayed into Curl
Gus company. One day, as lad, i
accompanied him down back
street, where we encountered a regi-
ment of soldiers marching past.
My father was curious to learn what
particular body of troops this was,
and as soon as he came within hail
ing distance he qinuired without
addressing any body in particular,
We'll, what's this?' Quick as the
word came reply from somewhere
in the detachment, Why, it's reg
iment of soldiers, you old fool,
youp'-Buffalo Express.
