THE COOK GANG.
Deputy Marshals Have a Part
of 1t Surrounded in the
Indian Territory. 4.5&'
BLOODY FIGHT EXPECTED,
Desperadoes Can Only Escape
by Breaking Through tho ::
Deputies Lines.

MUsKoaEE, I. T., Nov. 19:-United
States Attorney Jackson has received 9
letter from Bill Cook threatening TO
kill him if he makes any further at.
tempt to exterminate the gang. The
force of deputies were equipped by
United States Attorney jackson at his
own expense and the citizens here are
loud in their praise of him. His in.
structions to the men were to remain
in the field until the gang had been
either killed or captured. 1t was this
force that surprised the bandits under
Cherokee Bill and made the valiant
fight reported. Cherokee Bill has not
yet been captured, though late re-
ports say he surely will be. to.
gether with the full force he has
been leading. The report that Chero-
kee Bill was badly wounded in the
battle with the deputies has been veri-
fed by dispatches to United States At
torney Jackson. One Of the two bandits
captured during the fight was brought
here by Marshal Cobb. His informa-
tion from the fighting ground is that
Cherokee Bills band is surrounded and
can only escape by fighting their way
through the. deputies lines, which it is
not believed they can succeed in doing.
Marshal Cobb believes, however, there
will be another bloody fight.

WAR IN SIGHT,.
Great Slashing of Rates lmmi-
nent in the West and
Southwest.
MISSOURI PACIFIC IS OUT.
Western Passenger AssoCia-
ton Said to Be on Its
Last Legs.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. l9.-The Journal
says: When Chairman Caldwell of the
Western Passenger association opens
his mail in Chicago in the morning he
will find notice of withdrawal from
General Passenger Agent Townsend Of
the Missouri Pacific. At least, it is a
positive fact that such q notice, effec'
tive Nov. ~, was mailed to Mr.. Cald-
we'll late Saturday night.
The action of the Missouri Pacific
practically dissolves the Western Pas
senger association. which has been
effective under its present agreement
for about year and half. The Union
Pacific, Santa Fe and Alton have al.
ready withdrawn. Various causes
might be assigned for the action Of the
Missouri Pacific. The chief is that the
rates in general have been demoralized,
especially those to the Southwest and
to the Pacific coast.
1t would not be at all surprising, The
Journal continues, if the breaking up
of the Western Passenger association,
which seems probable ut this time, will
preoipitate general Western passenger
rate war,

were terrified in the Indian territory by
dozen drunken cowboys. They

but were told that none was aboard,
as it is against the law to sell
liquor in the territory. The porter
was told if he did not ''cough up' they
would blow up the buffet, and he got
out the whisky to pacify them. They
drank up $40 worth and paid for it,
keeping up an uproar all the time.
Finally they decided to shoot out the
lights for the drinks, but, feeling that
they had been pretty well treated, they
listened to persuasion and got off with.

alleged that the report as whole was
