A Remarkable Case.

TOPEKA, KAN, February 9.-About a
Month ago a detective from Texas by the
name of Matt Knapp arrested boy by the
ton that he was Jim Jones. who murdered
a Texas cattlenan on the ranch of Bill
Harris in Wichita county, Texas, on Sep
tember %, 1885. Knapp claimed that he
met Link in the st. Nicholas hotel, recog-
nized him at once as Jim Jones, made his
acquaintance, and the two became very
familiar. Knapp claimed that Link had con-
fessed the crime. The alleged murderer
was placed in the city jail, and on January
18th the COVE nor honored the reQuisition
and he was taken to iexaS.
Link was mere boy, SO young and mex
per1enced that he was very baJly fright
ened, and did not even send for his father.
who is respected farmer living only twelve
miles from the city, and scores of whose
neighbors could have proved the lads lnno-
cence. So there was no resistance to the
reQuisltion and the prisoner was taken to
Wichita Falls. The fact of the matter is
that his real name is David S. w. Link.
His father, James &. 2. Link, resides In
Auburn township. He was born IN Shaw
nee county and was never out of it but
once, when he visited Kansas City.
The father knew nothing of the sons
trouble until little over week ago, when
he received a letter from Wichita ais in
forming him of the state of affairs. He
Immediately employed til firm of Wheat,
Chesney d Curt S, of this city, to look alter
the case, and ey secured the assistance of
c. ]. bills, of Wichita Falls. who at &c
instituted proceedings in habeas corpus.
About hundred of the neighbo of the
Link family. in Auburn township, swore to
the facts stated as to the boys continuous
residence there Esp, ciaIly were they GER
tain regarding his presence there during
the year 1885, en- the mu der was COM
United, and when he was claimed to have
been Texas cowboy, because in June OF
that year he undertook to Cross the Waka-
ruSa with his two sisters. in time of high
water, and his sisters were drowned. He
was on this account more prominently be-
fore the public mind for the ensuing months
than usual, and hundreds will testify to his
presence there ard the impossibility of his
being a CONVOY on Bill Harris ranch that
fall. The boy was at once released and Is
now on his way home. 1t is poss BILE that a
suit of heavy damages may be instituted in
n short time

After = Hundred Years.

NEW YoRK, February 6.-The sad events
of the last few days at Washington, includ-
ing the sad loss of the Blaine family and
the more tragic affection to the home of
Secretary Tracy, dimmed considerably the
celebration of the centennial of the federal
judiciary that was inaugurated here The
weather, too, seemed designed to cast an
additional gloom over the great affair, for
as the morning passed away disagreeable
rain set IN, growing heavier as the hour for
the exercises approached.
The attendance at the literary exercises
IN the Metropolitan opera house was the
most noted that ever filed the magnificent
building. The interior of the building was
deliberately decorated. On the right of the
stage, on the front row; were seated the
court, Chief Justice Fuller being directly
beside ex-President Grover Cleveland, who
presided. The others seated on the stage
included ex-Justlce William Strong, Sena-
tor Evarts, T. j. j. Semmes, of New Or
leans, General William T. Sherman, Noah
Charles p. DAILY and David Dudley Field.
The overture was from Tampa followed
by the American "fantasie." When the
last air had ben played, ex President
Cleveland stepped forward and began his
address, opening the exercises.
Inc heV. Dr. Morgan DIX, OF Trinity
church, followed the ex- president, and the
audience rose and stood with bowed heads
while the reverend gentleman made the in
vacation.
Ex-Judge William II. Armour, chairman
of the judiciary entennial committee of
the New York State Bar association, next
delivered brief address of welcome to the
court, whose members sat in their black
robes and paid strict attention.
The principal address of the day followed.
1t was on the origin of the supreme court
of the United States and its place IN the
constitution, and the delivery was by the
veteran lawyer William Allen Butler, L. L.
d. His remarks were frequently inter
rupted by generous applause.
Selections from the orchestra followed

No E3ectments and no More Lot Jumping
No Temporary Shacks on Unoc-

on the Ground.

GUTHRIE, Ok, February 6.-AGain thie
city was thrown into con;u ZION by an at
tempt to eject lot occupant, who, together
with his goods, was turned into the street.
The facts are that Mr.. Callahan purchased
and improved some lots. He received a
transfer of city certificate, paid his money
and erected q credltable building, and
rented it at an agreement per month. The
tenant seems fit to construe the wording of
the Springer bill as favorable to his hold
ing the lots. Mr.. Callahan visited the occu-
pant, and after some words, put him and
his goods INTO the street. The United States
marshal interfered, and from their inter
pIetation of II structions from Washington,
proceeded to arrest Mr.. Callahan and place
the renter IN possession. The orders are,
per lit no ejectment aad no more lot jump
Ing." Marshal Walker arrived on the after
noon train, andin conversation with Daily
News represe ltatiVe said: Il shall carry
out the order to the letter; no one will be
permitted temporary shack on lot that
shows signs of former occupancy" If
Marshal Walker keeps to this, all will be
well. 1t he does rot, then the worst may
happen: The impression is that Mr.. Walker
Is equal to the emergency, and that he will
execute the law as it is written.

Bill for Colonization.

NEW YORK, February "A Birmingham
special says: For several days the negroes
of Bessemer, Alabama, have been holding
meetings and discussing Senator But er's
bill. The meetings have been largely at
tended by the best and most intelligent
element of the colored people of the town.
They have given to the Press ths following
address, which will be forwarded to the
senate and house of representatives at
Washington:
"We, the negroes here, have been holding
meetings favoring the separation of the
races and the emigration of the colored
people to the Congo free state in Africa,
and we hope Senator futler's bill will pass
congress. We want to go back to our own
country, where we Ong. We know that
it viii be better for the colored people and
We hope that it Will benefit the white people.
We know that we are great political trouble
here. We are orry. but cannot help 1t; time
has brought this on US. Let knowledge
now have her way, and knowledge says go"
ard We will go if the government will pass
the bill.
'Ti our meetings some have objected,
that the government Will want It's Monroe
doctrine and take bonds on the state that
we would found. 1t would take seventy
mem bers say that this is not the object of
the bill, Tut there will be an accumulation
of money to the colonization society"
Many negroes in this section are enthusi-
astic in their support of Butler s emigration
scheme.
