OUTLAWS RULE
Residents Of Indian Territory
Appeal to Washington.
Authorities Are Asked to Re
store Law and Order.
BANDITS IN CONTROL.
People Are at the Mercy of Law
less Bands.

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-The Indian
Office yesterday received advices by
telegram from the Indian territory
giving brief account Of the lawless
condition of affairs in that section.
and asking that some action be taken
by the United States authorities
which will restore order and protect
citizens in their rights It is stated
that armed bandits are in practical
control of the territory. Lawless
gangs infest all sections Men are
held up by highway in broad day
light and robbed. Life and property
are not secure either by day
or night The express companies
have refused to trans port money, and
no other means Of carrying funds
have been devised. There are three
well-known organized bands of des-
peradOes, composed Of thieves, thugs
and tough characters from all sec
tiOns of the country, who make a
business Of pillagin towns As a
result reign OF terror exists and
the people Of the territory are at the
mercy of these gangs. 1t is stated
that the train hold-up reported in the
Press dispatches yesterday morning
is the work Of one of these gangs. 1t
is supposed that the marauders
frustrated attention to another in
pursuit of booty, and that the train
robberies in the Southwest are the
work of these desperadoes who make
their headquarters in the Indian Ter
ritory- Secretary Smith was fur
nished the dispatches by the Indian
Assistant Indian Commits Toner
Armstrong is very familiar with the
section where the rob bers are Op err
ating and has Travelled through the
country many times with large
amounts of money but never expert
enced any trouble He thinks that
should be driven out Of the Indian
country just how this IS to be done,
he says, is difficult to determine.
There has been considera BILE discus
sion in co ess growing out of the
law1ess in the Indian Ter
ritory, Lggestions have been
made for entire reorganization of
affairs there. in order that robbery
may be suppressed and the control of
the peace Of the territory brought
under authority competent to enforce
law and order.
1t is recognized by those who have
given the matter attention that under
present conditions the Indian coun-
try will always be the headquarters
for lawless men, 1t has been sug-
gested that in thu present emergency
the territory could be placed under
martial law and troops directed to
clear the territory of the gangs which
now infest it. This would be an ex-
IRENE measure and would not likely
be resorted to unless all other meth
DDS fail
Secretary Smith was engaged in
hearing an important case early in
the day and had not been able to give
the dispa tches from the Indian terri
tory immediate attention.

truly COMIC.

A Chinese company has produced a
3, 600 year-old comic opera in Sydney.
A local paper observes that a Chinese
opera is like no other entertainer t
upon earth, except possibly a million
iron tanks falling into a gully full of
cats and from bones. There is no
scenery, and the orchestra, in its shirt
sleeves, occupies the back of the
stage. When any players back hair
gets adrift, owing to excessive exer-
ton, one Of the orchestra rises, fixes
it and then goes back with an air of
calm Inconsistencies to his instru-
Inent- The orchestra consists partly
Of Chinaman chopping wood, partly
of another celestial blowing with a
horrible intensity of devotion bulls
horn, partly of a curious stringed in
strument which makes a cry like an
infant forty yards high crying in the
night and SO on.

sufficient presence of mind to slide
down the cords and drop and they es-

skin abrasions on the hands. The
situation of the officer in the car APP
