left every piece of property in the town
ownerless.
When the news of the decision reached
Ell Reno the loafers began jumping lots;
then others followed, and soon all bust
ness was suspended. The court officers
rushed from their offices and joined the
mob. Governor Seay telegraphed the
sheriff and other officers to disperse the
crowds and protect the property, but
they did nothing.
Yesterday affairs took a more serious

FOR RUssIA's RELIEF.
The Indiana Must Be Loaded by the
2Oth Instant

8oti Aiotcubs
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11.-At yester-
days meeting of the Russian famine
committee the question of getting the
necessary cargo for the steamer Indiana
was again considered. 1t was the opin-
ion of many of the gentlemen present
that it would be impossible to raise the
necessary supplies by the Goth inst, the
time at which the goods must be sent
away if the offer of the Indianas owners
is accepted.
The Iowa grain promised by President
Clara Barton, of the Red Cross society,
cannot possibly reach this port before
the 2Sth, and that from Minnesota has
not yet started. With this portion of
the supplies not accessible it was the
opinion of Mayor Stuart that one-tenth
of the cargo could not he raised before
the goth.
Mr.. Blanke1burg was confident that
the ship would be loaded by donations
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware, but his views were not shared
by all, it being the opinion of one of the
members that Miss Barton should be
consulted and asked to forward all sup
plies at her command.
This action was deemed advisable, as
the reply to Mayor Stuart's telegram to
Governor Boies, of Iowa, stated that ar
rangements had been made to send the
donations to New York, and Miss Bar
ton was named as custodian.
Governor Pattison today sent to the
printers another proclamation, in which
he asks the people of the state to send
their donations to the Philadelphia com
mittee, instead of to Washington.

panies, if any, beyond the above guar
anteed rates of dividend shall be divided
| between lessor and lessee until the les
sor's share reaches, with the guaranteed
rate, total of 10 per cent. per annum. "
