IRATE BOOMERS.

They are Credited with Turning Fridge
To Preve stock angling % the strip.
GUTn.tE, Ole, April A-The bridge
over the Black Bear river, nine miles
south Of Red Rock station in the Pouca
reservation, was destroyed by fire last
night II is supposed that the bridge
was set on fire by boomers in order to
stop the shipment Of stock over the Santa
Fc road TO be unloaded at Ponca IL is
known that the Texas Live Stock asso.
citation has contracted with the Santa
Fe TO transport fifty train loads of cat
tie 10 be unloaded at Ponca. There Is
not room on the Ponca reservation for
this much stock The Indians use n
large portion of the twelve miles square
which they have Tor farming purposes
So It Is evident that the scheme Is to
let the stock roam on the outlet No
trains except passenger trains can go
north or south for day or two.
A large number OF trains Of stock are
being unloaded at Wharton, which is in
the Cherokee strip, and will be driven
from there to Ponca. So there Is no
question about stock being unloaded In
the strip, as glance at the map will
show. Settlers are arriving here In
large numbers, and they are indignant
at what is TRANSPORTING. Fires continue
to exist here and on the strip.

family present. She hated Rodes
and called him an cold fool" She
got opposition while at Mrs. Ketch-
um's at the Gazette office, after
which she notified Rodes that she
wouldnot receive his attentions any
longer and about this time she had
the confidence of her landlady and
was charged no board. Colonel
Breckenridge occupied his rooms
at Mrs. Ketchum's some three or
four weeks, and during the time no
one Of the family suspected that amy
undue relationsexisted between the
Colonel and the young women.
The information comes from a
close friend of Colonel Breckin-
ridge that he will return to Licking
ton within the next week and give
such a statement to the Ashland
Democracy as will clear him of the
charges preferred against him by
Miss Madeline Pollard.
Through the same channel the
correspondent states that he learns
that Colonel Breckenridge will pro-
pose to prove that Miss Pollard con-
fessed to him that she had been ru-
ined by James Rodes, who at that
time was defraying the expenses Of
her schooling, and avowed her in
tention of leading the lifewhich she
has pursued. Friends Of Colonel
Breckenridge here are confident
that he can clear himself of the
existing scandal, and signify a will
ingness to allow him to do SO be-
fore pledging their support to any
other aspirant for Congress from
this district.
1t is thought, and no doubt will
prove true, that Colonel Breckin-
ridge will be received here with al
most an ovation and will be prof
fered the usual warm handshake
which has always been given him
here.

The Sad Story of the Life of Miss Willie
Rankins, Near Henderson.

Rankins, Near Henderson.
Henderson New Era.l
Quite little sensation was Gre
ated in this section when it was
announced that Willie Craig, who
has been in the country near Hen
derson for several months, and who |
was passing as a young man, was
discovered to be a women in dis
guise. She is now living at Mrs.
W. w. Melton's, a few miles from
town, and a special reporter for the
Era visited her to-day, in company
with Sheriff Weir and others, and
learned the following:
She gave her true name as Willie
Rankins, and states as the reason
for her disguise is that she had two
lovers, Sam Beasley, of Union City,
and Lee Steed, Of Martin, and that
the latter was killed by the former,
at Marion about three years ago.
About the same time her father
died andhermother brokeuphouse-
keeping, and she being thrown on
her own resources and at the same
time being troubled over the death
of her lover, decided she could
make a better support and easier
bear up under be troubles by as
Stunning male attire and mixing and
mingling with the sterner sex. She
says that her mother, Susan Rank
ms, is now living with her son-in-
law, Marion Long, at Gates, Tenn,
and that she (Willie) has also two
half brothers, Bob and Poland
Montgomery. the former living at
Dresden, Tenn, and the latter at
Hickman, Ky. She claims to have
been discovered several times be-
fore, and would leave the commu-
nifty and change her garb again to
that Of a man. She has lived at
Humboldt, Jackson, and other
places. She lived with Mr.. G. M.
Alexander since Christmas until
about four weeks ago, and for whom
she made a crop. For the past four
weeks she has been living with
Mrs. Melton. 1t was by accident
that she was detected, and she
states that she will never attempt
to conceal her sex again.

COL. W. c. p. BRECKENRIDGE.
His Friends arc Confident He can Clear
His Skirts in the Pollard Affair.


Lexington, KY, says; 1t is now
said by persons in a position to
know something of the intentions
of Col. w. G. P. Breckenridge in
his cross-petition in the now IA
nous Breckenridge Pollard seduc-
ton and breach-of-promise suit he
will deny that Miss Pollard can lay
her downfall at his door and that
he is in no way responsible for her
undesirable career; that he had
nothing to do with her until he
knew her character was not good |
Some weeks ago, the correspondent
states, he called upon Mrs. Ketch-
UNI, the lady with whom Miss Pol
lard boarded most of her time while
i'll Lexington, but that lady had
gone to Chicago and could not be
seen. To-day, however, he found
her at home, and several points Of
interest with which the public here
tofore has not been served were the
result of the interview with Miss
Hoyt, an elderly maiden lady living
with Mrs. Ketchum, who had charge
Of Miss Pollard during her stay at
the Ketchum house.
Miss Pollard applied to Mrs.
Ketchum for board, stating that she
had come to Lexington to attend
Sayre Institute. She was given a
room and always paid her board
promptly, having the money on
hand each pay day. The girl was
then about seventeen years old, and
said that she had been attending
school at Cincinnati, but that she
had completed her studies and had
now concluded to take a course at
the Lexington institute. She had
been atthe house some three months
when Colonel Breckenridge applied
for room. He said he was tired
OF staying at the hotel, and had a
very important case in court that
occupied his entire time and atten-
ton, and that he would take his
meals out in town. The room was
furnished, and Colonel Breckin-
ridge had been in the house at reg
ular intervals for nearly a week
before he met, as far as Miss Hoyt
knew, the young lady in question.
However, it happened that the
Colonel took dinner at the house
one day and Miss Pollard was at
the table. Colonel Breckenridge
took his seat, speaking to all as he
entered the room, and hence the
formality of an introduction to Miss
Pollard was neglected, but to all
appearances they were strangers,
except it seemed that they had pos
sibly been introduced at some pre-
vious occasion and were therefore
slightly acquainted. They convers-
ed as strangers and neither showed
signs that were noticed of having
any acquaintance beyond this.
After Miss Pollard had been al
Mrs. Ketchum's six OF eightmonths
the report came from Cincinnati
that she had gone out drivingwitl
Colonel Breckenridge in a CLOSED
carriage behind two fine horses anC
remained away from the school al
night. She was told Of this anC
was asked for an explanation. Mis-,
Pollard made light of the repor
and said that her uncle, Mr.. Oil
yer, who she said resembled Colo
mel Breckenridge very much, hac
called on her to go with him t,
a certain institute in Cincinnati
where he had child whose par
entage was not known to the pub
lie. No more was thought abou
the matter, and not until the pub
LEGATION of her petition was tn
