A GREAT SCHEME.
Filley to Make it Appear That Missouri is
Doubtful State
Special TO the Gazette.

Special 10 the Gazette.
NEW YORK, June ia St. Louis special
says: In the midst of chaos in Republican
circles over the failure OF Secretary Noble
and those acting under his instructions to
capture the Missouri delegation il the
national convention Tor Harrison. Chauncey
l. Filley is working q very nice little
scheme. He is not alone in the matter nor is
he the originator. 1t WIS matched
during the last national campaign. The
project is TO make the state appear doubt
ful or at least so nearly that money could be
probably used. The argument is that this
would result in great material good to the
state, as money would come in instead of
being sent out. The attention of both the
national committees and the outside
world in general would thus be drawn to
the state and great good would result.
This argument is used with good effect not
only on Republicans but on Democrats as
well, and it is said not a few prominent
Democrats have fallen in with the scheme
and are working with FiIley F'illey was
called on for an explanation but declined TO
disclose the matter beyond saying Mis-
souri, had for years been q doubtful state on
square issue, that dissensi0ns in the Re-
publican party were responsible for Demo
cratic success. He would not admit he was
working on scheme as above outlined, but
said it required no argument to show that
great good would result if the state was
placed in the doubtful column.

Special to the Gazette.
HmLsBoRo, HILL COUNTY, TEX, June Is.
An assault with intent 10 kill was COM
mitted in the Richland creek bottom, about
fifteen miles northeast of HilIsboro, yester-
day evening. Jim Thompson, sixteen years
Old. met Tom Hines, fifteen years old. They
had some words, when Thompson picked
up a stick and hit Hines two severe licks,
one on the arm, which is sufficient to cause
him to carry il in sling Hines then out
with his pocket knife and cut Thompson
across the breast and once under the arm
The latter cut IS so severe as to prevent
Thompson from being arrested and moved
to town. Deputy Sheriff ]. A. Tucker
went out last night, and after being out all
night, arrested Hines and brought him into
town this morning. Owing 10 his being so
young he has not been locked up, but is
being guarded until Justice of the Peace
Hodge returns from Brandon, when the
amount of the bond will be known and
given. AS he has friends who will go on it.
If Thompson is not too badly hurt there
will be an examining trial tomorrow.

MUsKoGEE. |. L, June 15.-The attorneys
of this bar are preparing a reply to the COM
plant filed against them before the United
States Indian agent as intruders. They
have been urged to pay an occupation per-
nit of S25 per year. The general legal
opinion is that the treaty which provides
for court in the Territory is broad enough
to mean privilege to not only court, but
the officers, ard as attorneys are officers it
is is urged that they are privileged with
the court, clerks, marshal and deputies.
The case will be presented to the depart
ment. and if it is held than lawyers are not
within the treaty 4 test case will be made
in the court, either by enioining the agent
from removing the legal fraternity, as
threatened, or by habeas corpus, when the
work of removal commences by the Indian
police
