CAUSED SENSATION.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The develop
ments in the fraudulent divorce
case of ex-Mayor William S.
Pendletou caused a sensation to-day.
The law firm in question was that OF
Hughes s. Campbell, then of 322 Broad
way. Each member of the firm is now
in business for himself. Lawyer P. H.
Campbell, one of the lawyers accused h.
MIR. Pendleton, now has an office a. 290
Broadway.
When your reporter called there to-
day Mr.. Campbell said, ~ am here
ready to meet any charges that may be
brought against me. l never knew that
a divorce had been secured for him by
our firm or that any such claim was
made, and l do net yet believe it. If it
turns out that Mr.. Pendleton story is
true, then
HAVE BEEN DECEIVED,
but can't see how his statements can
be true. There is one statement that is
not true, and that is to the effect that he
saw the advertisement in newspaper.
We did not advertise in any paper. We
had done business for MIR. Pendleton
before the time of the alleged divorce
proceedings. His insinuation that
the handwriting in the fraudulent
divorce is the same as that of the letters
l wrote him has no foundation; IN fact,
l absolutely deny that had anything to
do with the decree or divorce in any
way.
''will you pay Mr.. Pendleton the
money he claims to have given your
firm?''
81 tell you, as 1 told him on Satur-
day. replied Lawyer Campbell, 81 DO
not believe he paid Mr.. Hughes any
money, but that If it turns out that Mr..
Hughes did receive the money, as q
member of our firm, then 1 shall pay my
proportion of it. 1t is strange that our
accounts when settling up in April,
WHEN OUR FIRM DISSOLVED,
that the transaction did not come up. l
shall see Mr.. Hughes and get his eX-
PLANTATION of the affair. -
Your reporter called at Lawyer W.
Durrie Hughes Office twice to-day, but
he had not yet arrived, and the clerk in
charge said he did not know Mr.. Hughes
place of residence.
The latter appeared to have forgotten
his appointment with Mr.. Pendleton,
who was to have called and shown re-
ceipts for money which the latter claims
he paid for his fraHdulent divorce.

COMING OF CHRIST.
Folks at Home to the Indian
Youth Away at School.

LAWRENCE, KAN, Dec. 21.-Several
Of the students at Haskell institute, an
Indian school here, have received letters
from their relatives in the Indian Terri
tory regarding the Messiah craze. One
of the letters is from a Caddo Chief
to his daughter. 1t Is dated Anadarko
and tells of the ghost dances. The
chief tells his daughter not to ridi-
Guile the coming of the Indians Christ
for she knows nothing of the wondrous
manifestations the Indians have receive ed
from HIM regarding His appearance on
earth again. tie says that may be some
time. Her Indian instincts will assert
themselves and then she will come back to
her people, join In the dance and make
herself ready to receive the Messiah. The
old chief says the belief Is confined
mostly to the good Indians and says that
the bad ones will not mend their bad
ways and accept Christ.
Another letter is from an uncle to a
nephew. This letter tells Of the won
drous revelations that nave been made
at the ghost dances, and of the marvel
lous interviews inspired Indians have
had with the Messiah. Some
of the inspired Indians, says
the writer. have had interviews during
their frances with dead relatives who
have told them to prepare for the coming
of Christ, and not to treat him as did
the white people of old. The writer
cautions his nephew not to reject the
Messiah until he has attended q ghost
dance and has had an opportunity to
judge himself of the evidence of the
coming of Christ.
STILL WANT THE RANGERS.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
MANGUM, TEX, Dec. 19.-There has
been no further demonstrations of hostil-
ity among the Indians near this
county that We can hear of, but the
home guards, as temporarily organized
last Monday, went into permanent
organization to-day and made applica-
ton to the governor and also appointed
men to scout along the border and report
any movements of the Indians. We have
hopes that the Rangers will arrive here
IN day or two.
