A Remarkable Discovery in the In
dian Territory.
From The Was inotO.- Post
TIsHoNIGo, L T., Feb. 15.-The arrest Of
portion Of the gang of thieves which has
been terrorizing this part of the territory
for the past three years has resulted in q
ghastly find by the officers who were search
ing for the headquarters Of the gang. The
search was made on the partial confession
OF the robber who was so severely wounded
in the battle two weeks ago. He thong ut
he would die, and told the officers that
startling evidence Of crime could be found at
the place where the gang had its re ldezvous.
Following his clews, the captain OF the
police Of this district has been on the trail
for several days, and this morning accI-
dentally stumbled on the hiding place Of
the gang.
The officers stopped at a deserted ranch
Twenty-Five miles north of here to get din
ner. During the progress Of the meal dog
which accompanied the party showed great
uneasiness and kept shifting at the wall in
the rear of the room. The actions of the
animal aroused the suspicious OF the party
and they made an investigation, which re-
suited ia finding q secret door leading to an
artificial cave at the rear Of the house. In
this cave was found al accumulation of
things which showed the officers that they
had stumbled on the den of the bandits.
The first sight which met their gaze was
the skeleton of a man standing near the
door with outstretched arms, evidently so
placed to frighten away supestitious peo-
pie. Inside was found large quantity of
stolen goods, and chained TO one corner was
a white man, who wes almost dead from
starvation. He said he had been there for
over a month, and had been well cared for
until five days ago, when the robbers had
suddenly left without releasing him. Since
that time he had been without food or
water. He said his name was William
Henderson, and that he was from near West
Union, la. He had been in the territory
hunting and had been captured and held
for ransom. He was cared for and will re-
cover. The value of the goods found
amounts to over $1,000.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 5.-A special from
Oklahoma City says: The race question is
assuming a serious phase in Oklahoma terri
tory. and the continued agitation which
the subject is raising Is more than likely to
resul in a collision between the whites and
blacks. When the territory was thrown

negroes settled in Guthrie, but their

ing the last SIX weeks, however, the negroes
from the south have swarmed into Okla

communities thickly settled by the blacks.
THE HEAD OF THE SCHEME.

ex-au iitor of the state of Kansas, in con-
innction with two white men. One
hundred and sixty acres OF ground

that is a little worse than destitute. They
are encamped about the Santa Fe depot
and their sufferings 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 Guthrie newspapers to
realization of the situation is the fact that
the Lew arrivals have brought smallpox
with them. The people of Guthrie at first
suppressed the fact that the disease existed
for fear the town would be injured, but
since iu is found that the smallpox is spread

strange story comes from Anisted, in the

Yesterday, when over 1000 feet in the

room" about twenty feet square. 1t had
no visible signs Of ever having been in COM
munication with the outside world. On the
floor lay the skeleton Of human being, the
bones crumblina into dust on exposure TO
air or at the slightest touch, while on the
walls were many rude outline sketches and
what seemed TO be inscriptions. 1t is mys-
terry which awaits the solution of the
