Ex-Mnyor Couch, of Oklahoma. Shot While

Ex-Mnyor Couch, of Oklahoma. Shot While
Contesting Claim.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 4.-Captain W.
7. Couch, the leader of .the Oklahoma
boomers and ex-Mayor, was shot this after
noon by J. G. Adams. The bullet entered
the left leg just below the knee and came
out in front. Both bones in front were
broken, and though amputation of the limb
may not be necessary, the Captain is crippled
for life.
Captain Couch was a contestant for val
liable claim adjoining the city on the west,
on which Adams has the filing. This after
noon he and his son began to set posts for a
fence, and while at work were approached
by Adams, who ordered them to desist. A
quarrel ensued, and the shooting followed.
There are two or three versions OF the shoot
ing, but the one that seems to have the color
of truth is that Couch took hold of Adams,
disarmed him of his pistol and discharged
at him the entire load of the revolver.
Adams returned to his house, procured his
Winchester rifle and. advancing to within
200 yards of Couch, fired at him. Adams
then swore out a warrant for the arrest OF
Couch and son, while on behalf of the latter
a warrant was sworn out for Adams arrest.
He gave bail in the sum of $1,000, and to.
morrow was set for the preliminary hearing.

Formidable Charges Made Against the New

NEW YORK, April 4.-The Senate Com

which has recently probed the Sheriff.
Office, will tomorrow be called upon by
members of the Central Labor Union. They
will present the investigators with formid-
able document, which alleges that the
police department is menace and dis
grace to the city"
The force, as body, is characterized as
"dishonest, brutal, even criminal" 1t is
charged with having reduced the art of black
mailing to science, maintained system of
terrorism over certain classes OF the COM
munity, exerted itself in the interests of
certain candidates, and established a system
Of espionage over respectable citizens Ior no

SO profitable has the business become, and
that man must buy his grade from rounds
man up to Superintendent. ''It is a matter
of common notoriety," continues the docu-
ment, THAT police officials regularly levy
tribute on every den in the city; that saloon
keepers are compelled to pay Tor police pro-
lection, and that every gambling den in the
city pays for the privilege of existence"

A COLUMBUS dispatch says: The report
sent out from this city last night that sunday
games were to be stopped here and the Colum.
bus club disposed of has no sort of foundation
in fact. The dispatch was put on the wires by
the disgruntled agent of the United Press, who
had not been furnished a season ticket as early
as he thought be should have had it. The
same young man is the author of the story
week ago that Columbus was to sell out to In
dianapolis. and Syracuse Toledo and Roches-
ter be crowded out of the Association. The
outlook is encouraging here. There will be no
effort to stop Sunday games, and the Columbus
club could not be purchased at any price. The
gentlemen owning the team think such state
ment should be made to place them right be-
Tore their fellow managers in the Association.

rrrc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsrArcHA


SAN Francisco, April 4.-George La
Blanche, the Marine, leaves for the East
next Tuesday, and, unless arrangements are
at once completed the California Athletic
Club will be disappointed in his proposed
match with Young Mitchell. La Blanche is
not anxious to fight unless he gets favorable
terms, and will ask concessions which may not
be granted He will take Mike Lucie East
with him as his sparring companion, and ex-
poets to remain away about six weeks.
GREAT DISSATISFACTION.
There is great dissatisfaction here among
sporting men regarding La Blanche's action.
Many good authorities are of opinion that he
does not want to fight any good man again.
There is plenty of money here to back Young
Mitchell against him. but La Blanche wants
what people call sure thing" as FAR as
money is concerned.
There is at least s2O, 900 for the Marine il he
will stay here and defeat Dempsey, but he per-
sistentIy declines every offer made in behalf Of
Dempsey.
WANT ANOTHER FIGHT.
The latter's friends are anxious to secure
another fight for him against the Marine.
However, it is thought that La Blanche will be
induced to accept fair terms and meet young
Mitchell A well-known sporting man here
offers to match Jack Fogarty, of Philadelphia.
against either La Blanche or any of the middle
weights, but SO far the offer has not been
noticed.
There is strong hope here that arrangements
will be made for a contest between Sullivan
and Corbett. The general opinion among San
Francisco sporting men is that Sullivan cannot
stop Corbett in four rounds. There is plenty of
money to back Joe McAuliffe to fight Corbett
either a limited number of rounds or to
finish.

A PHYSICIANS LICENSE REVOKED
Because He Struck an Obstreperous Patient
in the Eye.


ST. PAUL, April 4.-Dr. Theodore De-
Dolph's license to practice medicine in
Minnesota has been revoked by the Medical
Examining Board. 1t was charged that last
October the Doctors eDolph-Frederick
and Theodore-were called to reset the bro
ken arm of Gerhardt Toensing, German
manufacturer of this city. The effect of the
chloroform was passing off when the patient
struck at one of the physicians and DR..
Theodore hit him in the eye, permanently in
juring his sight.
The case was brought before the board in
March. some five months after the occur
renee, which was stated as above by the
complainant to the board to-day. On the other
hand both doctors and their servant say that
Toensing inflicted the injury on himself,
and the doctors claim that the case is one Of
malicious persecution, and is instigated by
certain physicians of another school OF medi-
cine. The doctors have both been in high
standing and have had a large practice in
this city for many years. This decision de-
bars DR.. Theodore DeDolph forever from
practicing in this State.

SCRANTON, April AT 1890 this morn
ing Hugh Graham was shot and killed in
front of saloon at Duryea by John Pryor.
There had been cock fight there that day,
and as a result many of the spectators
started to drinking. A row started, and the
testimony of an eyewitness is that Pryor
started to clean out the place, when a man
named Espy interfered.
Later on the trouble again broke out and
Hungarian named Belts gave Pryor a revolver
with which to shoot Espy. Graham and
friend rushed between and Pryor, after snap
ping the revolver twice at one man, turned it
on Graham and pulled the trigger again. This
time the revolver exploded and Graham fell,
shot through the heart Both Pryor and the
Hungarian were arrested.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.i
ERIE, April At turns out now that it
was not Nellie Biy's illness that prevented
her from lecturing under the auspices of the
Grand Army last evening, but quarrel
with her manager. The manager is repre-
sented by Treasurer White, who announced
the Bly's illness and incapacity in the even
ing papers.
The little globe girdler tried to get an ex-
planation of her managers conduct, but
failing to do so, she demonstrated to the local
committee her capacity for a lecture, and
they forced the manager to settle the ex-
penses, amounting to 500. Miss BLY, went
to Buffalo. and will appear under her own
management in a week or so.
