RACE TROUBLES THREATENED.
Dcplorable Situation of Negroes who we
Deceived by Oklahoma Boomera.

Dcplorabls Situation OF Negroes who were
Deceived by Oklahoma Boomers.
OKLAHOMA CRY, March 5.-The race
question is assuming a serious phase in
Oklahoma Territory, and the continued
agitation which the subject is raising ia
more than likely to result in a collision
between the whites and blacks. When
this Territory was thrown open TO set.
tiers large number Of negroes settled in
Guthrie, but their coming excited no
serious comment. During the last few
weeks negroes have quartered here by
the hundreds in response to inducements
thrown out in a glittering prospectus,
which was scattered in communities
thiCkly settled by blacks. The main
moverin this colonization scheme is said
to be E. P. McCabe, ex.Auditor OF the
State OF Kansas, in conjunction with
two white men. One hundred and sixty
acres Of ground were purchaeed nine
miles north OF Guthrie, and q mythical
town laid out. Glowing descriptions oi
Langston City were industriously circu.
lated by paid agents, generally colored
preachers, and the ignorant blacks oil
Kansas and Alabama eagerly invested
their small savings in the promised land.
A gentleman who arrived from Guth.
rie to-day Describes the situation there
as something pitiful. The negroes, he
said, are arriving by hundreds and in q
condition that is little worse than des.
titute. They are encamped without the
Santa Fe depot and their sutferings from
the recent cold weather, in addition to
the pangs Of hunger, are intense, but the
worst feature and the particular one that
has aroused the Guthrie newspapers 10
realization OF the situation, Is The fact
that the new arrivals have brought
smallpox with them. The people OIL
Guthrie at first suppressed the fact that
the disease existed for fear the town
would be injured, but since it Is found
that the smallpox is spreading the news
papers have come ont openly declaring
in favor Of instituting a quarantine

MONACO, March 5.-A man and {
woman were arrested here yesterday
evening charged with the murder OF 9
physician in December last. Their ar
rest has caused sensation, because the
crime is direct counterpart or repro
duction Of the crime for which Michael
Eyraud recently suffered the death pen.
atty on the Place de La Roquette.
From the mesgre details obtainable
from the police 1t appears that in Dscem-
Der last the body of an English phys
ician, a Or. Lindemann, was found dead
in a ravine near San Reno. The fnd-
ing OF the dead body was followed by
an official investigation, which, It was
announced, resulted in the authorities
at San Reno coming to the conclusion
that 1t was either suicide or else that
DR.. Lindemann met his death by acCi-
dent through falling down the rayine
some dark night while out walking. 1t
now appears that the police allowed the
suicide or accident theory to get abroad
in order to better enable the police to
follow out the real theory-that Of mur.
der. Itwas thought likely that the mur-
derers or murderer, upon learning that
the authorities OF San Reno had arrived
at the conclusion that the English
physiCian's death was caused by acCi-
dent or suicide, would relax their vigil.
ance, take fewer precautions To conceal
their crime and thus fall more readily
into the hands OF the police.
From the moment the DOCTORS body
was found the authorities OF San Reno
never ceased their investigation and
gradually wove a net ofevidence around
the DOCTORS murderers which resulted in
the arrest OF a man and woman, who are
charged with the murder.
The woman, 1t appears, was Of the se-
ductive character Of Gabrielle Bompard,
Eyraud's mistress, and she used her
bright eyes to lure the doctor 10 lodgings
she occupied at San Reno. As to what
actually took place after the womap had
enticed the victim into her room little is
known here owing to the fact
that the police are not yet prepared to
give all the facts to the public. How
ever, 1t is concluded that the doctor,
when in the woman's apartments, was
drugged, murdered and robbed by the
woman who had bewitched him and that
the latter was assisted in the preparation
Of the crime by the man, supposed to be |
her lover, who was taken into custody |
with her. The arrests have caused
much commotion here. 1t has even been
rumored that the pair in custody may
have other and similar crimes charged
against them aud that the woman may
have been use to lure other men to their
loom,

A FUNNY raEDlCAMENT.
a wicked Joke somebody Played oH til

A Wicked Joke soulboouy EAAyVu w 'hp
Wyoming Legislature.
CHEYENNE, Wyo, March 5. = An
amusing predicameut has resulted in
this State over the legislation Of the
first Wyoming Legislature in regard to
the State seal. The design adopted by
the lower House was picture Of mineH
and ranches, over which was a motto,
Equality OF Rights" upon which stood
a clothed figure Of awoman from whose
arms broken chains were falling, repre-.
senting the enfranchisement OF women
in the new State. 1t is now discovered
that some one, either in the Senate or
after the bill passed that body, before 1t
reached the Governor, substituted de.
siEu which was copy Of the original
except that the figure Of the woman was
nude. This design was attached to the
bill approved by the Governor, and ID
the legal seal. The House members are
protesting vigorously against having the
seal go made and under the circumstances
the Governor will use the old Terri
torial seal until the next Legislature
meets, when the figure can be properly
clothed.
