c. J.sFoRD ARRESTED.
But He Tells a Pretty Straight Story and
Claims an Alibi.

Claims an Alibi.
Tuesday afternoon, Officer Skillings
went to Harpswell and arrested G. j..
Ford, the man who admitted he knew
Irving. and who introduced him to Nc
Causland in order that he might get
work. The officer brought the man to
the city yesterday morning, and mis- wife
with him. Ford is about 80 years old,
about s feet 6 inches tall, smooth face
and middling fair complexion.
Ford declares that he has never been
connected with Irving in committing a
burglary. He says he is native of
jamestown, R. l., and worked in livery
stable there. 1t was there that he met
his wife, who belongs on Long Island,
but was visiting her aunt in jamestown.
Her name was Doughty before she was
married, and she is daughter of Henry
Doughty, formerly of Long Island, but
now living in Providence.
Ford states that he got job inlProvi-
dence canvassing for the Singer Sewing
Machine Company, and worked all along
the Blackstone valley. It was there that
he first met Irving, who was working
for the same company. Two weeks ago
he met Irving in Portland. 1t was pure
ly accidental that the two should be here
at the same time. He says he knows
nothing crooked about Irving, though
he has visited Irving's room frequently
and has played cards with him.
Ford explains the fact that he is wear
ing stolen clothes by saying that Irving
gave them to him. Irving said one day,
"Come up to my room and I'll give you a
better coat than that one you are wear
lg'' Irving then gave him an ulster,
which was too large for him. He took
it to clothing dealer, whose name he
could not recollect, and changed it for
the one he had on. Ford admitted that
he went away without paying his board
bill at Mrs. Longs on Congress street.
but said he attended dance at Che
beague and remained there afterwards.
He intended to pay Mrs. Long. and had
the money in his pocket to do so.
Deputy Marshal Chase went with
Ford, yesterday forenoon, to Nash's
clothing store. AS they entered, Ford
said that this was the place where he
tried to change the coat given him by
Irving. One of the clerks remembered
that two men came and tried to change
a coat One of them, Irving, attracted
the clerks attention by looking sharply
around Two nights after that the store
was broken into. The clerk did not
change the coat, but Ford succeeded in
making a bargain at Hills clothing store
paving 81 to boot which Erving fur
nished. Mr.. Hill has now sold the coat
which lie got of Ford to an expressman
Ford claims that he was at Chebeague

Coombs's.

Wilhite station, between Birmingham and
Decatur on the Louisville and Nashville

EX-SOLDIERS INDIGNANT.

They Fear Being Left Out in tho Allot-
ment OF Lands in Oklahoma--The In
dians Have the Choice of It-Boomers
Arrive and Depart.
KINGFIsHER, o. T., April 1.-THE ex-
soldiers here have been in condition of
intense excitement for several days in con-
sequence of the persistent repetition of the
report tina. the Secretary Of the Interior has
sent instructions to the land officers provid-
ing for but one declaratory statement from
each agent and excluding soldiers from the
use of the mails in filing declaratories. No
such Instructions have been sent and they
are not expected, as they would be in direct
violation of law.
1t has been reported that Governor Seay
was opposed to the filing OF declaratory
statements, but ne Indignantly deuies the
charge and says he has always been the
friend of his comrades and they will hesi-
tate long before believing him guilty of op-
posing their interests. He is in Kingfisher
to-day arranging his appointments of
county officers for the new counties and will
return to Guthrie tomorrow.
The allotments still attract comment, and
many homeseekers, after examining the
maps, vent their indignation in language
more emphatic than elegant and turn their
horses hesds toward the country from
over thousands more will be found vending
their way homeward deceived, disgusted
and penniless, for the Indians have the
choice lands.
But still they come, prairie schooners and
vehicles OF every description are hourly ar
irving, and the Rock Island trains are load
ed down with constantly rene wed additions
to the motley throng The projected meet
ing of old soldiers has been po stponed for a
day OF two, and some spicy re esolutions are
expected to result from their conference.
