Tfree. Reported to Have Been, Disposedof
 fly Vigilance Committees-Ot May
 Follow
 ENID, Ok, Nov. 22.-Dhere is every reason to believe that three sooners' were hanged bya vigilance committee in the timber on Skeleton creek, nine miles east nf this place; last Saturday night.
 A correspondent made a visit to that region yesterday afternoen to learn. what could be gathered from the set tiers. Three sooners who'~ ere known to have lived on desirails, claims out there and who did their trading in a. store in this city, canpot be found anywhere nor can anything be learned of them. No, information, could be procured from the settlers although one. Iowa fellow said that the citizens in his comsnnnity had made a VOW that not sooner would be permitted to remain in the neighbor- hood. When asked if he Knew of the whereabouts of the sooners-Gray, Campbell and Hudson, wh0were living under these names here-he was non- communicative, but said if he did know anything he would not bs. telling it to a stranger.
 The correspondent interviewed number of the settlers in the eastern part of the county, and tifeir refusal to talk on the subject of the Eynched soon- CTS would indicate that they all know what disposition was, made of them. They are all alert and cannot be caught off their guard and seemed to have been schoosed in silence
 One man said there was crowd of sooneFs down in the bottoms out of Waukomis and they had run settlers out of the territory with Winchesters He said that every member of the gang would be compelled to get up and leave.
 It is plain that desperate measures are being resorted to to drive this class from the territory. Reports are com ing in every day of whitecaps whip ping and terrorizing, and it is nothing to see the soouers pulling out every day, claiming that they have been threatened with hanging by vigilant committees if they did not go It is matter of much doubt if the three sooners who were located on the Skeleton will ever be heard from again in this world. It is common belief that they have been hanged and all traces of the crime concealed. A vigil ant committee has been organized in every township in L and NJ counties and when any of them is called to ac- tion it is a very difficult matter to get hold of the particulars It leaks out, however, no matter how, through some of the members every time.

GEN. RuSK DEAD.
Somewhat Unexpected Death of the Late
 Secretary of Agriculture.

Somewhat Unexpected Death of the Late
 Secretary of Agriculture.
 VIRoQUA, Wis, Nov. 22.-Ex-Secre- tary J. M. Rusk died suddenly at o'clock yesterday morning.
 Col Henry Casson, his former private secretary, left his bedside at o'clock Monday night, and gave to an as. sembled crowd of Gen. Rusk's friends the most positive assurance that the crisis was surely passed. Gen. Rusk himself said to his physicians during the evening, Boys, I'm better" Dr. Gott and Mrs. Craig, the generals cid. est daughter, remained with him dur. ing the night. He took an unusual amount of milk and other nourishment and slept good portion of the night.
 One of his attending physicians, Dr. Gott, and the generals oldest daughter, watched with him during the night. He slept considerable portion of the time. At daylight the patient showed signs of weakness, and very soon lapsed into convulsion. The daugh- ter called for the physician, who. on his admission to the sick room. quickly took in the situation, and caused the whole family to be sum. moned. They were au at his bedside when the general preathed his last There was no pain or gasping. He was unable to speak word to anyone, except to say:
 q am dying; am dying"
 BIOGRAPHICAL
 Jeremi h McLain Rusk was born in Morgan county, O. June l7, 1s3J, and was, during all the years of his life practical farmer, though called to the highest office in the gift of the people of his adopted ,tste, Wisconsin His father died when he 66s yet boy in his teens and the future sec. retary of agriculture supported his mother and sisters by driving a stage between Zanesvlle and Newark, O.
 When the war broke out Gen. Rusl.. having moved to Wisconsin enlisted as major of the Twenty fifth Wisconsin volunteers, and his record during the entire war is one of tho brightest He was breveted brigadier-gen- eral for bravery at the battle of Salkahatchie.
 After the war he served his state in several offices of trust and in 1870 he was elected to co gress by the largest majority ever given to a Wisconsin representative He was reelected twice and served with Gen. Garfield, his old boyhood friend, and when the latter became president he pressed upon Gen. Ruslx several important offices, but he declined them all In 1881 Gen. Rusk was elected governor of Wisconsin an was twice reelected During all this time he was sttl practical farmer and when Gen. Harrison was elected to the presidency it did not take very long for him tS decide upon his secretary of agriculture, an of flee created just previous to the inauguration.
