that it must cease their production.
This action is taken under a very strin-

cure a fatal defect in the old law by
making it possible to punish the makers
of dies, mods. etc, used in manufac-
turing these to)ds.

secret service officials to seize all the lit

AN OKLAHOMA RACE WAR.
Too Much Stealing Going on-Threat of
''The Committee of Safety"


KINGFIsHER, O. r., March 81. A
race war of no mean proportions is
threatened in this section. Several
nights since a party Of white men made
a ride through the part of the country
occupied by the negro farmers and
threatened them with punishment if
there was any more petty stealing from
the whites. The negroes did not ap-
pear to be very much alarmed at the
threat, and told the regulators that they
would have hard time of it if they at
tempted any rough treatment. SHbse-
quently the mayor of this place received
a communication signed "lhe Commit
tee of Safety" which stated that if
violent hands are laid on any colored
man without authority of law, the
colored race would go to his assistance,
and if they were prosecuted too far the
town of Kingfsher would be reduced to
ashes. There is great excitement over
this threat.
