Five Men Indicted and Four Locked Up
for Hanging u German.

for Hanging German.
Considerable excitement was occasioned
i'll Galveston, Texas, ON "Wednesday by the
arrest of Judge Henry Wcyer, Justice of
the peace of Galveston county, and w. r.
Allen and Charles Junemau, well known
citizens living several miles down the
island, ON an indictment found by the last
grand jury charging them with the murder
of Richard Fleischig on thc..30th of August
1881. The indictment also included Fred
koehlcr, late constable in Justice Weyer's
precinct. but AT present absent from the city,
and GIN Porter, who left Galveston very
suddenly and mysteriously soon amer the
lynching of young Fleischig. Junennan
is engaged in the dairy business. Allen
has been recently employed in the Farmers
Alliance Exchange. Koehler was con
stable of the third precinct. Weycr, Allen
and koehier are all prominent members Of
the Galveston County Alliance. As soon
as the indictment was found an officer left
Galveston for Kentucky To arrest Porter,
taking the necessary requisition papers
from Governor Ross TO make an arrest in
another state. lie also got similar
requisition from the governor of X kentucky.
Porter was found AT Iatoaia, XIV, where
as the owner of the Creole stables, he was
ehnased IN the races now IN progress AT
that place. The crime with which these
men are charged is the lynching of a Young
German, Richard Fleischig, in that county,
In June, 1881, for AN assault made upon tho
wife of Juneman. Tho present indictment
was found upon the disclosure of new evil
dencc, namely, AN affidavit made by Henry
Heinroth, who aifirms that about a month
after the lynching Of Fleischig he sccreted
himself under a house and listened To IL con-
Nersation between the persons now under
arrest, tho substance of which was praeti-
cally confession on the part of Viewer
Juneman, Allen and Koehler 10 having
committed the murder.
The recent grand jury ordered the body
of Fleischig 10 be exhumed which was
done May u, under the auspices of Justice
Spann and County Physician Burk. As
soon as the indictment was found Officer
Jordan took the train for Kentucky, in
search of the fugitive, Porter. Nothing
was found In Floischig's coffin but lot of
dry bones. one peculiar circumstance was
that the thigh bones of the leg were fouHd
at the lower end of the coffin, where the
Knee bone should have been, and the knee
bones were up toward the thigh. This dis
arrangement could not have resulted from
natural causes and it leads 10 the conclu-
SION thai the bones must have been tam
pered with, but for what purpose il is not
known, unless il was To recover a piece of
wire that may have been feit in the body
after II was used for laceration. A badly
decoinposed rope that had been left around
the neck OF Fleischig WAS also found Ia the
coffin.

A Wet Decoration Day.

Thursday was bad style of day for a
gala occasion, and if the 30th of MAY
does not behave better, Decoration Day
will lose its popularity for street parade
And this may not he a very bad thing
4 THERE'S no particular reason why the day
set apart for decorating soldiers graves
should become day of general parade
and show. We do not clearly see what

THis Is the seventicth birthday of Walt
Whitman, and his admirers will give n
grand banquet to the "good gray poet" as
they call him. II is interesting To note how
many prominent people are willing To be
ranked among the friends and admirers Of
tho erratic yielder of the "yawp." George
w. Childs, Watson Glider, of tho Century.
w. ID. Howells John q. Whittier and
others Of almost equal note have, Il is said,
either accepted Invitations To the banquet
or sent letters of regret expressing higl, cs-
| tecm. IL " rather n surprise 10 find the
Quaker poet Whittier in the list, and wo
decline to believe that he has been guilty
| oil more than polite regret Whitman's
most ardent admirers are over the ocean,
where his work exactly matches the preva-
lent ideas Of untaincd American society.
The late Richard Grant White parodicd
his poetry In very effective and amusing
way In his novel, "T'he fate of Mansfield
humphreys,' but In spite of the efforts of
very few who mistake audacity for
Byronic genius, Whitman il hardly of
enough permanent Importance to be
worthy OF burlesque. HIS undoubted
ability has been wasted even more afro

THE Philadelphia Record suffers an in

against the general lack of appreciation for

fine lines of the sculptor, and making II
look like brand new hng"unhallowed hy

"Thc modernis's standard of art requires
that everything be polished to the most i'm
ihncniate degree, from tho tin dipper to the
oxidized boll-pull. No trace of antiquity
nor token of ago is TO be tolerated
In tho statues that adorn our public
places This criticism Is good medi-
cine for general circulation and Il
ought not to take Americans long 20 nm

value by reason oftheir antique appearance,

this is just what has been done by well

The second trial of George Briscoe on the

In wheelbarrow. On accosting him the man
ran away. leaving the chickens. Briscoe was

Views of Another Clerk

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Hardly one government clerk among a
thousand could ever receive any benefit from
the thirty years retirement scheme. Why not
ask Congress to place us on par, in one
respect, with men enlisted in military service?
Retain one or two dollars from every one hun
dred of salary. to this allow the addition each
year of a limited sum in form of deposits with
the various disbursng officers. the accumula-
ton to be returned to the clerk at the end of
each fifth year or upon discharge. with interest
at four per cent, as allowed at present on SOL
dlers deposit A few dollars laid away in this
manner are always safe, and the plan might
prove acceptable to many who will not open
accounts with doubtful savings institutions, or
do not care to make trips to a bank with trifiing
sums. The opportunity TO save comes at the
moment Of receiving pay, which of itself would
be one advantage.

Solving Oklahoma Problems.

Land Commissioner Stockslage- in reply to
an inquiry received from a citizen of the west
relative to the Oklahoma lands states that "a
person desiring to become an actual settler
under the homestead laws, may initiate his
claim by entry in the district land Office. after
properly selecting and examining the land de-
sired, in which case, he is allowed six months
from date of entry, within which TO establish
his actual residence on the land-or if he so
elect. he may initiate his claim by actual set
Element on the land which may consist of some
act or acts connecting himself with the par
ticular tract claimed, said act or acts TO be
equivalent TO an announcement of his intention.
and from which the public generally may have
notice of his claim. Thereafter he is allowed
three months within which TO make his claim
of record by entry at the district land Office.
Which of these two methods should be chosen
Is matter for the partys selection, according
to the circumstances, and his own judgment of
which is most desirable. OF two bona fide set
tiers or claimants, the one whose settlement or
entry is prior in time will have the superior
right. When the inception of the claim is
slmultaneous-that Is. at the same time pre-
ciseiy-the legal right is equal. and the ques-
ton can be decided according to the equities
if any; if none, then it has been the practice to
put the land up between the claimants. and to
award the right of entry to the one bidding the
highest for the privilege"
