From Arkansas to Arizona.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 2S 1 1894.-Startling news reaches thi lefty from Tecumseh, an Indiar
 flown fifty miles east of this place
 Some thirty indictments have beer
 fonnd against prominent citizens oi that community and elsewhere l'charging them with horse stealiag FOf this number seventeen have ! been arrested, thirteen are in jail,
 one out on bond and three have es- capped and officers are in close pur- suit. Thirteen have not yet been
 apprehended. Seven of those ar rested have already been arraigned and have pleaded guilty. The en- tire community is wrought up over this discovery and the breaking up of one of the most remarkable criminal organizations ever known in this country. The Grand Jury is still in session and twenty-five or thirty more indictments will likely be returned. Charles Patterson and a young man named Collins, mem- hers of the gang, have turned States evidence and posse, accom- panied by Patterson, has gone to the Seminole country to arrest the ringleaders of the gang.
 The organization extends from Arizona to Arkansas and all along the route the thieves have caves and hiding places from which they can pick off all pursuers and in which no lynx-eyed official can de- tsct them, Many murders have been e committed by the gang and these arrests explain the mystery of the disappearance of a large nun. Der of valuable horses not on the regular route taken by the thieves. Twenty-seven head of fine horses have been recovered and the off, cials hope to discover more.
 Judge Scott notified those who were arraigned that those who plead not guilty and were convicted would be given the extreme penalty of the law on every count, and Col lins and Patterson withdrew their plea of not guilty, after which they made full confession. Court will reconvene there on June II to dis pose of these cases.

There is so little of importance transpiring in the live stock mar kets that it gives one "that tired feeling to look over reports.

While the nations of the civilized world are engaged at home in their small broils and in their setting up and pulling down of ministries, great things are going on in the Dark Continent, that vast expanse of territory that may be called at once the oldest and the newest world.

But there is something Tn this new treaty be- tween England and Belgium that everybody can grasp and appreciate nothing less than a compact by which Great Britain completes her control and possession of a clear strip of territory from one end of the continent of Africa to the other, from Cape Town to Carlo. It is a great event, a very significant event. Public Opinion.
