GOT LEFT IN OKLAHOMA,
And Now They are Determined to Seize
the Cherokee Strip.

CHICAGO, April PA special to the Aecs
from Arkansas City, Kas., says: A meeting of
Oklahoma boomers, disappointed of securing
claims in the territory, was held in the opera
house here last evening. There was a large and
enthusiastic attendance. Speeches were made
denouncing the manner in which Oklahoma
was settled 1t was freely declared that large
bodies of men served as L. S. marshals in order
TO get into the country and select the best
claims, and that this was unfair to law-abiding
settlers. They came here to secure homes. and
as they could not get them in Oklahoma they
were going to have them in the Cherokee strip.
About 500 men in this town last night pledged
themselves TO go to the Cherokee strip and
take claims. let the consequences be what they
may. They will execute their purpose. The
troops in this region fortunately are in COM
mand of Capt. Jack Hayes. an old frontiers
man and discreet officer. There is, neverthe-
less. going to be great turmoil on the Cherokee
strip unless the government at Washington
interferes.

THE TWIGGS SWORDS.
Question as TO Their Ownership Argued
in the Court of Claims.

Arguments were delivered to-day before the
court Of claims i'll the case OF Myers, executor
and Guedella, intercOntestant claimants against
the United States. Beneath this rather unin-
teresting title lies historic and complicated
case, involving the ownership of the famous
Twiggs swords, now on exhibition at the bureau
OF engraving and printing.
The United States figures merely as stake
holder OF the swords, which were presented to
the late Gen. David f. Twiggs for gallantry in
the Mexican war. The first was given by the
government, the second by the state OF Georgia
and the third by the city of Atlanta When the
troubles OF secession began to appear in the
south Gen. Iwlggs then III the regular army
OF the United states, turned over to the
confederate authorities the government prop
erty III Texas, and was
FOR THAT CAUSE DISMISSED.
When the federal troops approached New
Orleans General Twiggs left the city and sent
these swords to friend, Miss Romena Florence
now Mrs. Guedella, the claimant with note
The swords subsequently fell into the hands
OF General Butler then military governor of
New Orleans, vino sent them to the President
In July, 1862, with the recommendation
that the first sword be presented to an officer
OF the Union army. the second be deposited in
the library at West Point and the third be put
In the patent othce. In the following Deem
Der the President placed the swords at the dis
pOsal of Congress, and after the close of the
war they were deposited i'll the patent
Office. Then they were sent to the bureau
OF engraving and printing,
THEIR PRESENT RESTING PLACE
In 1866 Mrs Guedela made application to
Congress for the possession OF the swords. but
no conclusion was reached, although resolu-
tions were introduced in each house to
restore them Ito the owner" She applied
to the President again III 1878, and this
time General y. c. Myers, the son-ln-law
ana executor OF Gen. Twiggs, put in his claim
for possession He urged that the swords
should go to him, as Gen. Twiggs sent them to
Mrs. Guedcla merely as a custodian; that the
general had before his death given him, Myers
lntlm&tion of his wishes
WITH REGARD TO THE DISPOSITION.
In March, 1887, an act was approved direct
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to refer the
question Of ownership to the Court of Claims,
and when the proper person was decided upon,
to return the swords, as the act directs ''to the
owner"
1t was IN pursuance with the provisions of
tins act that the arguments We're made before
the court to-day, Messrs j. Randolph Tucker
and \. q. Stafford, of this CITY, appearing for
Gen. Myers, and Judge Abbott and his son, S.
\. b. Abbott, OF Boston, for Mrs Guedela The
argument of the case occupied the entire day
before the court.

gard to the French exile.
Although it was announced that NJ. Rochefort
