the Tammany leader, in an interview pub
lished this morning, says that if Edward
Murphy, Jr., is elected to the United
States senate he will do all in his power to
assist Mr.. Cleveland.
Now. went on Mr. Croker. There is
much misunders standing about the sena-
yorial contest. Mr. Murphy as senator
will not oppose Mr.. Cleveland, and if Mr.
Cleveland knew Mr.. Murphy as well as [
know him he would know that Mr.. Muir
ply would make an able senator and
would become a great supporter of the
executive. Mr.. Murphy may not be a
great speaker, but he possesses admirable
qualifications for the position of senator
aud II he is elected do not think Mr.
Cleveland will have any reason to regret il. y
Mr. Croker was asked if he thought that
if Mr Murphy were elected. Mr.. Cleve-
land, in return for 1t, viii take a position
hostile to gammsuy Hall. Mr.. Croker
heSitated a moment, and then said that he
did not think that Mr.. Cleveland would do
SO. NO" he said. ''ouU friendship for
Mr.. Murphy will not make Mr. Cleveland
hostile TO the regular Democracy of the
state His ideas of political Justice are
too high 10 allow him TO take such a step. -

klNGElShER NOTES.

KINGFIsHER. O. r., Jan. 6.-[Special.l- J.
Kingfisher county's Tammany returned
yesterday from Norman, where the great
chiefs from all parts of the territory
assembled on Monday last to parcel out
the offices. kingfsher county sent a
sufficient number of the hungry kind TO
fill every appointive Office in the territory.
Every man came back with a satchel full
of Endorsements.
The newly elected county officers took
their seats Tuesday without interference,
except the county attorney-elect. The
Alliance attorney claims that he WAS
elected for two years. aud proposes TO hold
out until sometime in February. The Re-
publican elected has entered upon the dis
charge of his duties, however
The latest development OF a sensational
character is the de~ertion OF Mrs. Lucinda
lie Master by her husband. He married
her some four months ago after an ac-
uuaintance of month. They were
married in Texas. She had little farm;
he wanted it. She let him sell 1t; he took
the money. She has the experience; she IS
here on public charity, with two children
TO care for.
The system of waterworks lately put in
by the city will he tested in few days.
The work seems to have been satlsfactor-
ily done, and the test Will 40 doubt De
satisfactory one.
The Rock Island railroad is beginning
systematic movement towards bringing
emigrants to the towus Oh the line or Its
road in Oklahoma. II has appointed 40
emigration agent in Chicago TO look after
this especial department, and has asked
the towns on the line TO co-operats IN the
matter.
A number of the lawyers in town who
have been dealing in relnquishments and
defrsuding their clients in other ways are
being looked after sharply by Inspector
Harlan. Homesteaders have been at the
mercy of such rascnis too long already,
and the department has begun war on
them which will not end until every man
who has been guilty OF unprotessional
conduct is disbarred.

A NIIRDER AT GUTHRIE.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Jan. 6.-F. X. Mcken-
non, one of the most prominent attorneys
and capitalists of Guthrie, was shot and
killed today by young attorney named
Z. NJ. Beall. Mckennon and Beall dis
solved law partnership about two
months ago, and disagreement as to bust
ness matters seems to have been the cause
of the shooting Beall met McKenuon on
the street corner and fired four shots in
rapid succession, two of which entered
McKennon's body, while Beall held him
10y the lapel OF the coat. The other TWO
shots were fired as McKennou staggered
and fell dead. All four of the shots took
effect Both men are prominently con-
nected in the states from which they came.
B4alI surrendered and is now In jail.
There is talk of lynching him.
