United States Marshals at Loggerheads.


FORT Worth, Tex, Dec. 1S.-Grayson
county has been transferred from the north
ern district of Texas to the eastern district,
and the United States court at Paris has
jurisdiction instead of the Dallas court.
Last night deputy United States Marshal
Sam Williams, of the Paris court, came to
Denison for the purpose of arresting Dave
White, colored, upon two charges namely,
one for horse stealing and one for
introducing whisky into the territory.
Williams had spotted his man in IN Austin
avenue crap dive and left colored man TO
watch him. Deputy Constable Lawrence
came and the darkey placed White under
his charge. Lawrence had a warrant for
Whites arrest as did Williams. Lawrence
is working under United States Marshal
Knight of Dallas, and Williams under
United States Marshal Dickinson of
Paris. Lawrence advised Knight
of Whites arrest and Williams wired
Dickinson the same. Knight wired
Lawrence that the law placing Grayson
county in the Eastern district did not go
into effect until ninety days after the pass
age of the law, and that he would send
deputy after White tonight. Dickinson
wired Williams to arrest the jailor If he
turned White over to anyone save an East
ern district officer. Both officers are in a
diiema, neither knowing what to do in
the premises. White is in Jail.

Cherokee Strip.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Dec 19.-It is as
serted that cattlemen have not given up
the hope of again turning their herds into
the Cherokee Strip. They expect the Of
fers by several parties of large sums for the
lands which are believed here to be part of
preconcerted plan will have the effect of
preventing the commissioners from making
deal with the Cherokees and that this will
prevent the strip being opened. Then as
soon as the grass starts in the spring they
will smuggle their cattle back in the Strip.
To this end large numbers of cattle are be-
ing held in this reservation adjoining the
Strip. The soldiers stationed south of the
Strip are getting ready to move, having
received orders TO report at Fort Reno.
Thousands of people are watching the
soldiers and the minute they leave the
strip the settlers will go in.

MUD, NOT LIME.

mODt NOl LIME
DUBLIN, Dec 19.-Canon Cody asserts that
it was mud that was thrown in Parnelps
face and eyes, and not lime as it is claimed
by his supporters. An address signed by
twenty. three women of Kilkenny has been
published. 1t declares that Parnell, after
years of systematic deceit, has at last been
unmasked, and that his very presence pol
lutes the soil.
MooNLIGHTERs PROSECUTED.

of number of persons who we're charged

WHAT FREEMAN's JOURNAL saYs.
DUBLIN, Dec 10 The Freeman's Journal
today says Parnell will carry Kilkenny in
the coming parliamentary election, and
the priests hold aloof in the contest. Their

the election. We know that home rule
without Parnell is impossible. No British

land and America.

The Arkansas Pass.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 19.-Receiver
Yoakum of the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass railway today denied the report that
the Waco extension would be pushed to
completion. There were fifty miles to
cover, and this would cost between $560,000
and 100000. The road was in the hands of
receivers, who were engaged in liquidating
its floating Indebtedness and interest on its
bonds, and was in no condition to spend
100000 of money. He saw no immediate
prospect of the completion of the Waco ex-
tension.
