The Bill Locating the Capital at
Oklahoma City Stolen.
The Impression General That the Gov
ernor Will Veto the Measure.
Excitement Runs High.
Incomplete Returns From the Idaho Election
Hon. W. L. McGsughey Opens His Cam
pai.n at Colorado City.
BILL PCRLOINED.

tOOh up duu passed. the OIL locating tue
capital at Oklahoma City. a motion to
reconsider was voted down on yester-
day, but to-day things changed around
and a motion to reconsider was carried.
This action created the widest excite
meut and riot became imminent, but
did not eliminate until both houses had
adjourned this afternoon.
Immediately after adjournment at 2
O'Clock it became noised around that the
speaker of the house had signed the bill
and that Perry, a member OF the house
from Oklahoma county, had purloined it
from the chief clerk. AS soon as this
information became general, the streets
were thronged with an enraged mob.
Speaker Daniels was taken in charge,
aud with him in hand the mob, for such
it was, proceeded to hunt Perry. He
was discovered on the street and
BROKE TO RUN,
but was overhauled and demand was
made on him to deliver the stolen bill.
He protested. and in the face of threats
of hanging be persisted he did not have
the bill. During the excitement, which
was intense, Perry evaded his pursuers
and made good his escape and his where
abouts is yet unknown. There are
great many people here from Oklahoma
City and the excitement still runs at
fever heat with fair prospects of serious
trouble yet being had. The action on
the part of the friends of Oklahoma City
has greatly influenced those who were
neutrally inclined and it is certain they
have not gained anything from the gov
ernor. Had not Perry made his escape
he would have in all probabilities been
severely dealt with, and unless there is a
decidedly cooling off by Tomorrow
morning he had better remain away
from his seat in the house indefinitely.
AWAITING THE GOVERNORS SIGNATURE.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Oct. 1.-The bill
locating the permanent capitol at Okla
homa City, passed the upper house of
the territory legislature this afternoon
and now awaits the signature of the gov
ernor to become law. There is good
deal of speculation concerning the gov
ernor's intention in the matter, but the
impression is general here that he will
veto the measure.
THE RESULT IN IDAHO.
BOISE CITY, IDAHO, Oct. AN
estimate of the vote of Boise City and
Boise county give the Republicans a ma
jority of 175 on the entire state ticket.
Bingham returns show the Republican
ticket has majority of 800. In Boise
county returns from four precincts give
Wilson, Democrat, for congress, twelve
majority. Incomplete returns from five
counties give Sweet, Republican, for
congress, $50 majority. Meager returns
indicate the legislature Will stand Re-
publicans 80 and Democrats %. The Re-
publicans claim the state by $500 ma
70 10 fQt TO
the Republicans by 500. Returns re-
oeived show large gain for Republicans
over the vote of 1888.
Incomplete returns from seven coun-
ties out of eighteen in the state give
Sweet, Republican, for congress 1900
majority. The same counties in 1888
gave Dubose, Republican delegate, $50
majority. The entire state is Republic
can by 1900 to 1000 majority.
Late returns show that the legislature
will probably stand thirty three Repub-
llcans to nineteen Democrats. Owing to
the great distance of many precincts
from Geographic communication, returns
are coming in very slowly, and it will be
several days before returns from the en-
tire state will be received.
