COMMISSIONERS COURT
And Their Action on the Precinct No. 6
Election.

And Their Action on the Precinct No. b
Election.
To the Editor of The Statesman.
On Sept. s an election was held in
justice precinct No. 6 to determine
whether local option should prevail i'll
that precinct and the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors be prohibited. When the
polls were closed and the votes count
ed it was discovered that the friends
Of local option were lis in the MAORI
ty.
Unfortunately the tickets which
had been printed read "For Local OPP
tionn instead of "For Prohibition" and
for this reason the opposition claim
that the will of the people should be
defeated. The citizens of that pre-
cinct say that an irregulari-
ty of that sort ought not to
defeat them because everybody
knows what the vote means, and they
insist that if these votes are to be
thrown out, then that there should be
another election. They claim that
there are many things which they
can present to the court, besides the
one referred to, that would authorize
new election, and last Monday they
asked of the commissioners court the
privilege of offering testimony to
show these things. The county judge
was of opinion that the commission
ers court had no authority to hear
tactip,nnU anH OnIu had ant Oritu IN
declare the result. The other COM
missioners held that they had au-
thority to hear the testimony and said
that they would do so yesterday, and
the court adjourned until yesterday
morning.
The friends of local option seeing
that the county judge held that
the commissioners had no authority
to do anything but count and declare
the vote; and knowing that every Of
fender would be brought before this
same county judge'for trial, if new
election should be ordered and pro-
hibition carry, and knowing that the
county Judge could and would likely
turn such offenders loose if he believed
that the other commissioners ought
not to have orden90 new election,
they concluded to make the contest in
the district court, and present the
testimony there instead of to the COM
missioners court. On making this
statement they retired, and the
court proceeded to declare the result,
not counting the votes which had
been returned for local option.

BEDLAM REIGNS SUPREME.
THE SCENES IN OKLAHOMA THOSE OF
WILD CONFUSION.
Things Sacred to the Sabbath Day Utterly
Disregarded in the Mad Chase to
Secure Land in the Coded
Indian Reservations.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 2O.-The Sab
bath lost its sanctity in Guthrie to-
day. The day set apart for the open
ing Of the new lands is only two days
in the future and in the face of that
event affairs sacred are almost ig-
nored. The Santa Fe passenger trains
all came in sections of ten and twelve
cars, each section carrying hundreds
of home-seekers. The latter were hus-
thing around, buying outfits and bar
gaining for conveyances to the border
of the new lands. Others were prepar-
ing to start and still others were just
getting away. There was bedlam
n the streets and confusion every
where. The churches all held their
usual services, but they were slightly
attended. Nearly everyone wanted
to observe the scenes Cn the streets
and learn the latest news concerning
the opening. Much satisfaction is ex-
pressed over Secretary Mobiles order
to registers and recorders OF the land
office to prevent, so far as may be in
their power, fraud in connection with
the filing of declaratory statements Of
old soldiers, Traffic in these declara-
tory statements has been sus-
pended, home seekers regarding
them as an extra hazardous
investment. Nevertheless the line of
old soldiers and old soldiers attorneys
which formed, ending at the door Of
the land office here, has heightened
itself $50 yards since yesterday, and
every hour adds to it's length. There
have been a few disputes and dis
turbances in the line, but none that
have been of Il serious nature.
One notable feature of the prepare
ton for the race is the quiet which at
tends it. The only sign of a serious
disturbance so far has been at Langs-
ton, where the cowboys object to the
negro massed there taking possession
of of Cimaron Valley, an extremely
fertile country. A serious con1lict
was threatened at one time, but the
prompt arrival of large force of
deputy United States marshals from
Guthrie has so far prevented an out
break, and it is believed that all
danger of a disturbance there has
now passed away. The officers will
remain there, however, until Wednes-
day morning to see that peace is pre-
served and that all legal claimants
are protected from violence.
Surveyors have been at work ever
since last Friday on the town site for
the new county seats. 1t is Governor
Steeles desire that these surveys
should be completed before Tuesday.
None of the lots in the cities can be
claimed until the survey is completed
and delay after Tuesday would cause
a congregation of eager crowds around
the sites and there would doubtless
be much serious disturbance.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. pa special
to the Post-Dispatch from st. Joseph,
Mo-, says: AT 2:3O o'clock this morn
ing three strange men, with silk
handkerchiefs over their faces, walked
into the office of the Pacific house, the
leading hotel in the city, and having
large revolvers, ordered the clerk to
throw up his hands. A number of
guests who were in the office were
marched to chairs, where they were
guarded by one of the robbers yg with a
revolver in each mana. Inc clerk
was made to unlock the safe and two
boxes containing $500 in cash and val
uables were taken. A bartender who
happened in was relieved of diamond
stud and $50 in money. The men
then coolly walked out. The police
as yet have no clue to the robbers.

ARRESTED ON A REoUIsITIoN.
Charles K. Corsant of Galveston Must Go to
Tennessee.

GALVESTON, Sept. 21.-Charles X.
Corsant, we'll known real estate
dealer of this city, is now in the
custody of Sheriff Herman. He was
arrested this morning pursuant to the
order of Gov. Hogg, who granted the
requisition for the arrest made by the
governor of Tennessee. Corsant is
held to await the arrival of Mr..
Havaland, the agent dispatched from
Tennessee, to arrest and take
him to that state. The prosecution
claims that during last spring, Mr..
Corsant went to Tennessee and there
interviewed the owner of lot No. 221,
Galveston Island, and upon misrep-
resentation of facts, secured the exc
cution and delivery to him of quit
claim deed to the property mention
ed, without any consideration. The
complaint charges Corsant with false
pretenses concerning the value of the
property, and as to cloud upon the
title. He will be taken to Tennessee.

her mouth to even out her cheeks, which

sion: that though she had used them for
four years her husband had not discovered
them; that she carried them especially for
his benefit. The loose cotton balls became

IN HARD LUCK.

How Gambling Doomed Him to Spoon
Diet.
The recent story OF the loss Of the bank
roll of John Days uptown gambling house
brings 10 mind a story in which Con DAILY
who sat behind the "silvcr box" in that
house for many years, once figured.
Con was dealing one night when a man
who sat In front Of him said: 'Wlll you
loan me S25?"
No." said Con; I'VE don't do banking
business here"
We'll" replied the man, 'Tve lost $500
here tonight and I'll make good the S25 the
next time come n."
Cant help it" Con clipped in, cant
help it, When you win our money we dom t
ask YOU to loan us, and you can't expect us
to stake you when you lose. Tell you
what III do, though II you've got any
'collat about you worth twenty-five we'll
loan you on that rs special favor because
you are loser"
The man who had askel for the loan sat
back, searched his pockets, felt in the place
where his watch should have been aud
could not bring to the surface anything
worth the twenty FIVE. He rose from his
seat to 60, when bright idea struck him,
and, putting his hand TO his mouth. pulled
out his upper set Of false teeth. They we're
very fine set, mounted on very heavy gold
plate, and several of the teeth were gold
filled to give the appearance Of genuiueneSs.
The set must have cost fully Hundred del
lars. Passing the teeth over to the aston
ished Can, the man said:
" Let me haf ther money on thoth."
Well, you're good 'un," calculated
Con. :" How'll you have lt-moGcy or
chips?"
"Sthack OF browns, please"
The stack was handed over and the tooth
less man took the chips, "cut 'em in two,"
played the ace open with half of them and
heeled the rest from the tray to the ace.
The next turn out of the box came ace
tray aud the dental chips were whip-sawed
As Con pulled the chips in the man with
the bare gums murmured:
