BILL PCRLOHED.

Special to the Gazette.
GUTHRIE, q. T., Oct. 2.-Yesterday
and to-day have been full OF exctement
10 this citv. On yesterday the house
took up aud passed the bill locating the
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
ment aud riot became imminent, but
did not eliminate until both houses had
adjourned this afternoon.
Immediately after adjournment at
O'Clock IL became noised around that the
sneaker of the house had signed the bill
and that Perry, q member of the house
from Oklahoma county, had purloined II
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 BUN.
but was overhquled and demand was
made OH him TO deliver the stolen bill.
He protested. and in the face of threats
of hanging he persisted he did not haEe&
the bill. During the excitement, which
was intense, Perry evaded his pursuers
aud made good his escape and his where
abouts Is vet unknown. There are q
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
no Of ha Fria pf In y
has greatly Influenced those who were
neutrality 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 GOVERNOR SIGNATURE.
THE RESULT IN IDAHO.
BOISE CITY, IDAHO, Oct. Am
estimate of the vote OF Boise City and
Boise county give the Republicans n ma
jority of lis 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
joritv. The Democrats concede state to
the Republicans by 500. Returns re-
ceived show a 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 10y 1900 TO 1000 majority.
Late returns show that the legislature
will probably stand thrtY-three Repub-
hcans TO nineteen Democrats. Owing TO
the great distance of many precincts
from telegrap PHO communication, returns
are coming in very slowly, and it will be
several days before returns from the en-
tire state will be received.
