FIGHT IN SIGHT.
The Cook Gang Rounded Up
by a Posse of CherO-
kee Police.
BIG BATTLE IS IMMINENT.
Both Sides Making Active
Preparations For a Death
Struggle.

MUsKoGEE, I. r., Nov. 20. War
with the Cooks is going Oh in the vicin'
ity of Verdigris river. about 20 miles
from here The bandits are massed in
force and have more than match in
squad Of Cherokees who have been
surrounding them up for several days.
No open battle has yet taken place, but
there has been a great deal of skirmish
fighting, and both sides are preparing
for death struggle. Fully Is of the
Cook gang are tog Their, and Bill Cook
is leading them in person. The Chero-
KEGS would have forced the fighting be-
fore now were it not for the fear of
running short of ammunition before
the battle was over. II it comes to
question Of allowing the Cooks to slip
away from them or fighting, then the
Cherokees will fight, and they are not
afraid Of getting the worst Of it. 1t
was thought to be good generalship to
keep the Cooks in the corner they now
have them in until all is in readiness
for prolonged attack. The Cherokees
consequently dispatched Sheriff John
Brown to this city for full supply OF
ammunition, and he has just arrived
here, bringing the information already
given. The sheriff will leave here in
the morning with all the supplies
needed and strong guard.

OMAHA, Nov. 20.-A special to The
Bee from Lincoln, Neb., says: The
Republicans will demand a recount of
votes by the legislature. Up to noon

inst. He said that a legislative COM
mittee, consisting Of two Populists, two
Democrats and three Republicans
will be asked to proceed with re-
count Of the ballots for the purpose Of
quieting title, and removing all doubt
of the election of either candidate for
governor. It will be necessary to serve
notice on Judge Holcomb at the same
time. At Independent headquarters
matters are being put in shape by AT.
torneys Bryan, Leese, Broadly and
others, to serve notice of contest on the
entire list Of Republican candidates for
state Offices Immediately following the
contest on governor. Judge Holcomb
is expected to arrive from Broken Bow
Wednesday and remain here until the
opening of the legislature.
