GIVING DFPFW

NEW YORK, June 26-The collapse of
the case against the New Haven railroad
directors. was the source of a good deal of
satisfaction to Mr.. Chauncey NJ Depew
In conversation with a reporter yesterday
he related some of his experiences since
indicted by the grand jury. Among other
things, he said:
1T was exceedingly annoying to meet
men who thought ii very funny TO call out

sihly the funniest fellow was one who

have them turn TO their neighbors, and

But, seriously, u was sad to observe the
mental torments of the old gentlemen in
the board OF directors of the New Haven
road. These men, for a lifetime have been
known for their integrity and probity.
They were forced TO believe that this pros
ecutlon was for political effect. They
felt, under the circumstances. that the

they were guilty or not. 1t was hard 10

iNNIAM MILITIA

| GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 26-Farmers
here yesterday from near Healdton, Chick
asaw nation, bring intelligence concerning
| the Indian militia under Governor Byrd
| and troop of United States cavalry under
! Indian Agent Bennett who have been
securing the western part of the Chicka-
saw country for more than week past in
search OF intruders, but have been unable
to find a single individual of that genus.
Every man has gone or has permit from
either the tribal permit collector or one of
his deputies. Agent Bennett. so say these
farmers, has become highly disguised with
the farce and on yesterday the entire
force went into camp near the head waters
of Rush creek, and Bennett informed
Byrd that unless their much-talked about
intruders were found, or at least a portion
of them, by the 26th instant, that be BEN
nett) would order the government troops
back to Fort Sill. and that he would re-
turn to MuSkogee and report the farcical
campaign TO Secretary Noble.
The most serious feature of the cam
paign so far has been those enacted by the
drunken Indian warriors, but additional
outrages were committed on the whites bv
the infuriated drunken bucks, so say the
Healdton farmers. They say that between
White Bead and Beef Creek, not many
miles from Healdton, before meeting up
with the government troops, TO Indian
militia struggled over several miles of
country and defed all efforts OF the Off
GERS TO keep them in rank Some of the
squad, drunk and devilish, shot at cattle
dogs and chickens, and most everything
but human targets that came within
range. Several animals We're killed and
wounded. But the worst feature was the
lndlgnlties offered women along the route.
In several instances, it is said, members
OF the band, in a beastly state of intoxica-
tion, rode boldly into the yards of settlers
and threatened lhe chastity of their wives
and daughters, terrifying the women with
their obscene and profane remarks Along
the line of march the women and children
concealed themselves, the report of the
doings Of the MALTA preceding them by
means of mounted farmer couriers The
farmers in that vicinity became greatly
excited, and hastily organized for protec-
tion. Had Agent Bennett ard Governor
Byrd not succeeded in restoring order and
decency among the militia before Beef
creek was reached several hundred we'll
armed white settlers would have endeav-
ored TO kill every one Of them. The men
who compose the militia, with few evcep-
tiOns, are the most desperate and lawleSs

TERRITORY INIRuDERS.

WYNNEwOOD, I. T.. June Ex-Governor
Byrd arrived here this morning enroute to
Tishomingo. He reports the troops and
part of his militia being in camp at Erin
Springs, where they have seven intruders
in charge, and are waiting for the high
waters to recede, when they will be escort
ed to the Oklahoma line. He says the work
of ejectment will continue until all in
truders are removed.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, June 26-Judge
Harvey, the territorial delegate of Okla
homa, has just returned from an extended
trip to the Pottowatomie country, where
he has been making special Investigations
regarding the expulsion of intruders. His
observations there will apply equally to
every part of the Indian Territory His
Investigations lead him to condemn the
order absolutely as having no quality of
coed, but only capacity for lasting injury
1t is bitterly opposed by the Indian land
lords, as it will leave them utterly without
proper help 20 harvest crops of any kind.
The Indian is a successful land owner, but
is very Indifferent and wholly unable
to care for the crops now growing.
The present leasing system has grown to
such proportions as to be the sole
reliance of the territory. The tenants are
white farmers of small means, and their
expulsion now would place them in the
most abject poverty. The Indian has
grown rich in his share of their product,
but if he was compelled to do the work
himself, would soon be as Door as the
Cheyennes and other wild tribes Judge
Harvey mentions some among the num-
berless instances he saw. A poor man
from Alabama with nine children and his
wife were hoeing cotton. They mistook
the Judge for United States marshal and
told their story They came here this
spring with team and little food They
rented the land and their work showed
for itself in the cotton field. That was all
they had. They had nothing. To put them
out was absolute ruin. Such families are
there by the thousands. Judge Harvey
fifty describes the order as folly by the de-
partment, injury to the whites and com
plete destruction to the Indians
