THE COUGHLIN TRIAL,

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The courthouse was
packed today with an eager throng, anx-
ions to gain admittance to the Coughlin
trial. The announcement that the new
state witness, Frank Bardeen, would be
examined had caused "A revival of interest
In the case.
In answer to a question by States At
torney Bottom, the witness said that he
saw Coughlin at Edgewater on the night
of May 4. 1889. 1t WAS between l and 2
O'Clock. Bardeen was supervising archi-
tect of the Edgewater syndicate, and had
been :rylng to get the engine at South
Evanston in order. From South Evans
ton he went to Edgewater station 10 see a
friend. His friend was absent and he
went to the outside steps and waited for
him. At the time before mentioned be
saw wagon approaching from the west.
1t was long wagon, and as it crossed the
tracks two men were walking at its side,
while third was in the wagon. Just AS
the wagon was leaving the last rails the
horse was in front of him. Over the door
was 20-candle Iower incandscent light
1t threw strong light south across the
road, and the long wagon. the horse and
the three men were plainly to be seen. In
the wagon was box, on which one man
was sitting. The man who walked six
feet behind the wagon was Daniel
Coughliu.
The excitement in the courtroom was
intense rs the testimony proceeded. The
witness said that Coughlin sprang for
the opposite side of the wagon when be
came within the rays of the electric light,
and walked rapidly to the south till his
form was lost to view. The wagon pro.

MULHAlL MATTERS.

MULHALI., o. L., Jan. S.-lSpeciaL i
Messrs Samuel Matthews aud Ward Is.
Hitchcock celebrated the holidays by en-
tering into hymeneal bans. The former
married Mrs. Della Ferbrache; the latter,
Miss Della E. Hines. May prosperity and
unalloyed happiness ever attend these
high contracting parties. They will make
their homes ia Mulhall.
Saturday evening a colored man was
run over by IL train. His leg was SO
severely crushed that amputation was
necessary He was removed TO the hos
pital at Guthrie.
All the passenger trains have been
guarded lately. The Dalton gang has
been seen in the neigh borhood of Ponca.
IL made a raid on Clarkson, and robbed
the postofiice. All the towns on the Santa
Fe railroad are nightly expecting a raid
by this gang of desperadoes. The various
bands of outlaws make their homes in the
Indian nations. There they plan their
robberies, and when they are perfected
issue from their Kidding places to ac-
cOmplis h their nefarious plots for robbing
banks and raiding towns and terroriZing
the country. When they have done their
work they return to their homes amid the
fastness of the Arbuckle and Table
mountains in the Chickasaw nation, the
fens of the Choctaws or the dense chap
parral of the Creeks and Seminole nations
to divide their plunder and plan additional
ro5beries. Amid these nations they can
abide with safety. No one dare tell of
their whereabouts or give auy informa-
tion that would lead to their capture.
As long as these nations retain their
tribal tenure of lands and their national
autonomy they will be the home of the
bandit and the haunt of the outlaw. What
care they for the United States marshals.
Many of these marShalS are in league with
the desperadoes. Like K. II. Scrivener
they will lead band Of lawless characters
of both sexes to deeds of violence even
while wearing the United States marshal's
badge and receiving pay from the govern
ment. Many Of these desperadoes were
once in the government service as mar
shals. Single statehood for the whole In
dian Territory would break up these
haunts of bandits. They would no longer
have place of rendezvous in which to de
wise and execute robberies and escape with
impunity.
In the territorial limits of Oklahoma
and Indian Territories reside more than
800, OO0 We have no voice n the election
OF the chief mag gistrate of our nation. We
are subjected to many disabilities and
grievances, all of which would find
remedy, complete solution, i'll single
Statehood. Give us this and ere the close
of this decade we will number 1000. 600 of
prosperous. happy American citizens, the
peers OF any in the land.
