Special to the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T, April 29.-This
community was greatly excited this after
noon over brutal attempt to outrage the
wife of the territOry'S most prominent cIti-
zen, Vic ]. c. Greater, who was formerly the
owner OF large wholesale and retail boot
and shoe house in this city. He recently
moved into the country about three miles
northeast Of the city, and it was there that
the attempted outrage occurred. MIR. Greater
was in town at the time, and his wife, who
has been an invalid for q long time, was the
only occupant of the house save "a servant
girl. Mrs. Greater was resting on sofa
near an open door when she was aroused by
the appearance of big burly In
dian in the doorway. He seized
her and attempted to force her
upon bed. The little woman fought for
her honor with all her might, and at last
succeeded in escaping from the villain
clutches.She ran to neighbours and gave the
alarm, but the Indian mounted horse and
fed to town before help could be organized
or put in motion. When the news reached
here warrant was issued and officers de-
tailed to capture the scOundrel. He was
found in saloon and taken into custody.
While the jail was being unlocked Greater
rushed up and attacked the prisoner with
club. He mashed his face and split open
his head before the officers could interfere.
Greater was Immediately arrested and gave
bond for his appearance. The sympathy of
the public is with him, and it is feared the
Indian will be taken out and hanged to-
night. A double guard has been placed
around the Jail to prevent trouble. The In
dian turns out to be Wilson Mckinney,
noted and wealthy citizen of the Sac and Fox
Nation. He has been prominent member
of the council of his tribe for several years,
and is one of the richest Indians in the
Territory. There can be no reasons
assigned for his hellish work, save that of
whisky and general cussedness. Mrs.
Greater is Frustrated over the affair and
physicians are apprehensive of her condi-
ton.
Marshals brought in one W. R. Hendricks
to-day from Shawneetown and lodged him
in jail for issuing counterfeit money among
the Indians.

Paris, April 29-The programme for
May-day is placarded through the city.
The principal deputation will accompany
the workmen in procession to chambers in
the afternoon to present their demands.
The government is preparing strong meas
ul'eS to preserve order.
Several violent anarchist manifestoes,
intended to inScribe the soldiers compris-
ing the garrison of Paris and its neighbor
hood to revolt, have recently been circu-
lated by agents of the anarchists. Several
of these incendiary documents are in the po-
session of the police, who are now en-
gagged III searching the residences of the
anarchist leader. 1t is announced that
from to day until May Day or until the ex
element is over, no soldiers will be allowed
to leave their barracks except on guard
duty, or to bring in supplies of provisions,
etc. Even officers are confined to the bar
racks. To each soldier Of the garrison
100 rounds of ball cartridges have been dis
tributed. The military authorities have
also arranged plans of communication with
different military posts, barracks and forts
and have completed arrangements for the
concentration and distribution at points of
vantage of troops available in case Of dis
order. Thus the entire military and police
force Of Paris are prepared, almost at a
moments notice, to issue forth from their
quarters and occupy the streets and squares
of Paris in such manner that any an
archist movement will be pretty surely
nipped in the bud, however well planned it

1ta1y's Chamber of Deputies Excited.

ROME, April 2s.-Slgnor Imbriani, in the
chamber OF deputies to-day, speaking of the
African question, charged the Italian gov
eminent with permitting slave-trade to be
carried on openly.
Signor Imbriani also made the assertion
that thirty-hve young girls who had been
taken from their former owners under pre-
text of releasing them from slavery had
been distributed among number of Italian
officers serving with the Italian army in
Africa.
The Marquis Di Rudini, replying for the
Italian government, protested against such
accusations being made without absolute
proof of their truth having been first OBJ
tanned.
Amidst cries of tits a liew "with-
draw, the minister of war declared
that he would not remain in the
house unless the charge was withdrawn
A prolonged uproar, during which several
violent scenes were witnessed, followed the
announcement of the determination of the
minister of war. The president of the
chamber was utterly unable to control the
excited deputies, and consequently he was
compelled to suspend the sitting.

Germany's Guelph Fund.

BERLIN, April 29-In the lower house Of
the diet to-day, Chancellor Won Caprivi
made an announcement to the effect that
the government intended to introduce a
bill during the course of the next session
giving the country control of the Guelph
fund. The chancellor also pointed out that
it was impossible to ascertain the use
made of the Guelph fund during the past
twenty years. AL receipts and accounts
had been burned at the end of every
year. There was, he added, nothing singu-
lar in this burning of receipts and accounts,
as it was intended that the uses to which
the fund was put should onlybe known to the
minister Of the department to which the
fund was assigned by the ministry. The
expenditure account published in the press,
the chancellor explains, was without sig
nificance. Chancellor Won Caprivi also de-
Tended the governments action in confscat-
ing the Hanoverian property, and said that
he expected that bill would change and
extend the objects of the fund and remove
all obscurities. The fund, however, would
not be savings bank for the Hanoverian
family.
Later, replying to question on the sub
ject, the chancellor said that the govern
ment would adopt the principles of the fut-
ure law without waiting for its enactment

AUSTIN, Tex, April 29.-The peniten-
tiary board was in session here to-day
transacting routine business. The contract
of Hartman Il Aobley of Waco for
the moving Of conyicts from county
jails to the penitentiary expiring to-mor-
row, and the law relating to peniten-
tiary management not going into effect IN
til July, the board decided to not recontract
TO- the interim, but to leave the matter en-
tireiy in the hands of the penitentiary
officials. When the new law takes effect in
July the board will probably enter into new
contracts.
Contracts for the leasing of conricts to
work on farms expiring December 81, the
board decided to readvertise for contracts
for two years from that date. It was the
sense Of the board that about seven hun
dred and fifty convicts could be leased in

THEY BOUGHT MULES
Bought Them on a Credit, and
Got Money From Banks
WITHOUT THE LEAST TROUBLE.

In the West, Texas and

New YORK, April 29.-Inspector Byrnes'
men run down couple of swindlers who
have been defrauding banks all over the
country from the far West TO Texas and
New England states. They travelled from
town to town as mule buyers. At the police
headquarters their names stand on the
blotter as James Hall, alias james ortAlbert
Huutley, ana Andrew j. COnoyer.
Some little time ago news OF the depreda-
tons OF the pair began to reach Inspector
Byrnes' ONCE from the South and West.
The first complaint came from WaXa-
hachie, lex, il the form OF demand for
the arrest of one Il. L. Lanster, who had
been buying mules in the neighborhood
evidently as preteXt for derrauding
banks. Having worked himself into the
confidence of the farmers who had mules to
sell, he opened an account at the City
national bank, depositing q number OF
checks, but no cash. The next day he
would return, representing that he needed
the money for immediate Use, and would
draw against the account. Here the iden-
LITIGATION OF his mule-owning friends would
come III handy. Ianster drew as long as it
was safe, and disappeared in tune before re-
turns from the Eastern banks came in and
exposed the fraud. His checks were drawn

quently on the Chase national bank.
A brief comparison between Hail and the
WaXahachie description of LanSter, alias
Huntley, served to convince Inspector
Byrnes that the two were Identical, and
Hall, in fact, admitted as much when he
found he was fairly caught. He had regis
tered as hotel keeper from Detroit. His
companion called himself Andrew J. Con-
over, likewise u hotel keeper from across
the Canadian border.
The checks by the means of which the
Texas bank had been swindled were printed
by the Frey stationery company of st.
Louis.
The description Of the man who ordered
them is as if made for Conover.
The pair had lived in style in an uptown
hotel since their arrival in town.

Senaputty, second brother of the

of the Manipuri forces, was asked by Chief

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, April 2e-J. Rol Reel,
correspondent of the Kansas City Sunday
Sun, is in Waco and in the hands of the
Phillistines. Young men of Waco were
made subjects of vile attack through
the columns of that paper. Arti-
cles of base nature concern
ing leading citizens appeared time
after time, and the feeling here is strong
against the writer of them. Tonight j.
Roe Reel was seen on the streets, and at
once arrested. A charge of criminal libel
was made against him, and he was locked in
the county jail. He wired the Sunday
Sun of the trouble he was in.
On one occasion recently Waco boys had
bucket Of tar prepared for the gentleman,
but he gave them the slip and left town.
If the charge against him does not stick,
the boys will probably take up the case.
When seen tonight, an attempt was
made to catch him, but he fed and officers
interfered. When the charge was made,
had it not been for the officers, he might
have been the victim of one Of the unwrit-
ten laws which is enforced by public
opinion-with a bucket Of tar and bag of
feathers.
