II lie Fort Sill Country.
iowa PARK, TEX, Oct. 10, 1881


To the Gazette
The Oklahoma boom is on. Henceforth
Texas is i'll it. Whether we are able TO
profit by the mistakes and hardships of the
Kansas boomers time alone must tell. To
our colony members who have not yet come
to the border, let US say that it is not our
opinion that the Fort Sill country will be
opened before the next congress meets.
Our colony members surround the borders
of the Fort Sill country on three sides and
keep US posted on the cattlemen's efforts.
News reached here last night that the
troops were taking hand in the racket
and were firing the grass in the Fort Sill
country as the quickest way to eject the
cattlemen.
If true it adds emphasis to Gen. Miles
recommendation to abolish the Indian
agency system. If there is anything more
disgraceful in the history of our country
than to harass and destroy the property of
homeless settlers and .go cahootSr with
cattlemen to plumber the public domain and
the public purse and use our army to pro-
tect the combine l would like to know what
it is.
The proof of the situation which we
placed before the mass-meeting last week
at Iowa Park was what raised the fever at
this place.
It was not hauled down by one of the cat
tie kings offering privately to hire some
one 10 whip your manager the next day,
proof of which was furnished this office at
once. Our course is public matter, not
q personal one, and If the cowmen strike at
one settler they will ali strike back Com
mon sense says for the cattlemen to keep
hands off. The settlers are the kings of
the Panhandle. j. S. WORKS,

A REVASSE.
THE LEVEE IN FRONT OF NEW
ORLEANS BREAKING.
Serious Damage Done to the Tracks of Two
of the Railroad OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
at Work on the Break Sink
Special to the Gazette.

SptClal 10 ine GdZtlle.
New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 24-The caving
in of the river bank in front of this city,
which began month ago, still continues
here. A caving far more serious than any
which has yet occurred began last night at
the foot of Dumaine, st. Phillip ana Crsu-
line streets, and has continued all day. 1t
is in the very heart of the city, and one of
the most important points, commercially,
on the river front. Several small cracks in
the levee showed themselves here a week
ago.
Yesterday the land began sinking rapidly
ard this morning 1t disclosed horseshoe
shaped hole or depression extending a dis
lance of 1000 feet, and reached to within ten
feet of the famous French market. This
was from four to six feet deep, and in some
places twenty, with immense cracks in 1t
ten feet deep and more. The most serious
damage was to the railroads.
The main tracks of the Southern Pacific
railroad ana the Louisville aud Nashville
railroad pass here and these sank so it was
impossible to use them. A large force of
men We're put at work by the railroads and
three of the seven tracks We're raised sutfi-
GENTLY to be used and number OF trains
passed on them to-day. The Orleans levee
board, however, appealed to the mayor to
have the passage of trains stopped as 1t
tended to increase the injury The tracks
are most important, for unless used the
roads will be cut off from their depOts The
caving also threatened and injured the fruit
landing, the market garbage wharf, and
was so threatening to others that one of the
vessels landing there changed its moorings,
regarding the situation as dangerous. The
larger fruit vessels were also warned away
from the landing by the police as danger
Gus. The engineers will make an investiga-
tion and report as to the cause of the sink
ing, which is supposed to be due to the
emptying of quicksand, and what remedy
should be adopted to stop further caving.
There was another caving at the foot Of
Leander street, up town.

Guiding the cotton, will probably amount to
$4,000, insured in the Hibernia for sl430. A
match in the cotton is supposed to be. the
cause Of the fire. These two men are badly
hurt by this fire. Mr.. Clemens lost almost
his entire years crop. He had rolled his
cotton of to one side of the gin, as he
thought, out of the reach of fire, and had
arranged to haul it to market to-day and
settle off his yearly accounts. This ought
TO be lesson to gin men and farmers to
leave no cotton around the gins, but haul it
on as soon as it IS ginned.

CALL 1T PERSECUTION.
President Paul Conrad Says They Have
Not Violated the Law.

NEW ORLEANS. La, Oct 24.-An Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Sioux Falls, S.
D.. was published here this morning, stat
ing that the United States grand jury had
returned indictments against the Louisiana
lottery company for violation of the anti
lottery mail law. President Paul Conrad
of the lottery company was interviewed in
regard to the matter. He states that the
Sioux Falls case is exactly like the Ell Paso
case; that there has been no violation of
the law by the lottery company, and that
they will prove this when the cases come
to trial. He says the whole trouble grew
out of mailing a pamphlet containing the
decision of the supreme court Of this state
in the mandamus case against the secretary
of state, compelling that official to promul-
gate the proposed revenue amendments to
the constitution. President Conrad states
that efforts were made by the postal author
tiles to sustain an Indictment in half a
dozen states on the same ground, but that
they We're unsuccessful except at 81 Paso
and Sioux Falls. We think the facts show
that the action OF the authQDksies in this
case is simply persecution

They Are lowering on Our Canadian Bor,

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct 24-Treasury Agent
Scanlon to-day says he has receivedladvices
from his inspectors that are now watching
the Canadian border to the effect that there
are 1000 Celestials in Vancouver and along
the line of the Canadian Pacific railroad,
who are suffering for want of food.
Cinnamon in unprecedented numbers are
being landed at Vancouver" said Mr.
Scanlon, land they are unable to, obtain en-
ployment or food. The vast number of the
arrivals, believe, is the result of the no.
tice spread among the Chinese by an in
fuential Chinaman that returned that it is
very easy TO get into the United States I
believe also that the Canadian government
is assisting Cinnamon in this country in
order to get the $50 per head they are COM
PEELED to pay. The government, l believe,
is also expecting some exclusion legislation
next winter and now desires to getin all the
Cinnamon they possibly can If this big
rush is not soon stopped there will be IN
