extent in the farther northwestern portion OF
the department, in the state of Montana, be-
ing augmented and aggravated by causes like
those which made the strike occurring SubSe-
quently of considerable proportions and more or
less difficult to control. The causes are a large
floating, mining and at times mployed pop
ulatiOn, which, being more or less free from
the restraint of law. is always ready to join any
movement in which idleness, viciousness and
lawleSSneSS are found. Another cause is an
affected sympathy extended to the lawleSS by
both high and low in office who depend on the
suffrage OF the less law-abiding for their posi-
tionS. This principle of dependence is appar-
emit among all classes of the community. The
merchant the grocer. the tradeSman and all
who live by the patronage of others are con-
strained to openly express sympathy with the
violent and. in many cases, with the lawleSS,
because of the principle of boycotting which
has been reduced to science in this newly and
meagerly populated state.
In treating OF the great strike which
stopped every wheel on the Northern
Pacific railroad, and inflicted great loss
and untold inconvenience upon the
public, Gen. Merritt says:
It is difficult to conceive worse state of
affairs than existed on this road There was
Fargo. The posts situated on this road could
hold no communication with department head
quarters save by telegraph If the blockade
had been continued communities living and
troops stationed at different points on the road
were in danger of starvation resulting from
the Stoppage of supply trains.

Breckenridge, the court of appeals for
the District of Columbia has ordered
the appeal, which had been asked for
in this case. stricken from the docket

LAwLEss MEN.

People in the Indian Territory at Their
Mercy-Federai Authorities Are Asked
to Act.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The Indian
telegraph from the Indian territory
giving briefly an 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 1t is stated that armed
bandits are in practical control of the
territory. Lawless gangs. infest all
sections. Men are held up by high
waymen in broad daylight and robbed.
Life and property are not secure either
by day or night. The express compa-
MES have refused to transport money,
and no other means of carrying funds
have been devised. There are three
well-known organized bands of desper-
ADDE'S composed of thieves, thugs and
tough characters from all sections
of the country, who make bust
ness of pillaging towns As a re-
suit a 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 morn
ing is the work of one of these gangs.
1t is supposed that the marauders jour
ney from one section to another in pur-
suit of booty, and that the train rob
berries in the southwest are the work
of these desperadoes who make their
headquarters in the Indian territory.
Secretary Smith was furnished the dis
patches by the Indian Office.
Assistant Indian Commissioner Arm
strong is very familiar with the section
where the robbers are operating and
has Travelled through the country many
times with large amounts of money,
but never experienced any trouble.
He thinks that the whole crow of law
less bandits should be driven out of
the Indian country. Just how this is
to be done, he says, is difficult to de-
termine. There has been considerable
discussion in congress growing out of
the lawless bands in the Indian terri
tory, and suggestions have been made
for an entire reorganization of affairs
there. in order that robbery may be
suppressed and the control of the peace
of the territory brought under author
ity competent to enfore law and order
1t is recognized by those who have
given the matter attention that under
present conditions the Indian country
will always be the headquarters for
Iawless men. 1t has been suggested
that in the present emergency the ter
ritOry could be placed under martial
law and troops directed to clear the
territory of the gangs which now in
fest it. This would be an extreme
measure and would not likely be re-
sorted to unless all other methods fail.

THE DOCKERY LAW.

1t VIII Save Millions to the Treasury-Abol-
ishins Improbable Custom Houses.
WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-The Dockery
law, which made such sweeping re-
duction in the clerical force in the
treasury department., has been in Oper-
alton for over two weeks. The effect
of the change has been closely watched,
not only by Secretary Carlisle and his
assistants in the treasury, but also by
prominent officials in other de part
mentS, who desire to eradicate from
cir system of conducting business
" nat might be termed as red tape
The Dockery law has reduced this OBJ
jectionable feature of conducting bust
ness with the treasury department to
a minimum. Other departments desire
to appropriate to themselves these ben
eicial results, and already it is stated
efforts will be put forth to have con-
gress reorganize the business methods
and clerical forces of several of the de-
partmentS.
The Dockery law will effect a saving
of $1.O00,003 year in the treasury.
The treasury is even going further
in its efforts to reduce expenses. 1t is
proposed to abolish custom houses
which do not yield sufficient revenue
for their support For several years such
efforts have been put forth, but unsuc
cessfully. Commissioner Pugh, in his
report to Secretary Carlisle, has given
q list of over twenty-five custom houses
which reported transactions during the
fiscal year ended June 80 last. Among
these are Annapolis, Md; Brunswick,
Ga; Chattanooga, Tenn; Cherrystone,
Va; Eastern Maryland, Fernandina,
Fla; Georgetown, S. c.; La Crosse,
Wis; ST. Augustine, Fla; st. Marks,

A Passenger Train Looted by the Cook
Gang in the Indian Territory-A show
man Perhaps Fatally Shot.
WAGNER, I. r., Oct. 22-The Kan
sas City and Memphis express, which
left here at $3.50 Saturday night, was
wrecked and robbed by the Cook gang
of desperadoes at Correta, blind sid
ing miles south of here The train
was gong at a speed of about -
miles per hour, and when within
100 feet of the switch a man sprang
out from behind an embanknent and
threw the switch for the side
track, running the train into 4
string of empty box cars. Engineer
James Harris applied the air and
reversed his engine, but did not have
time to jump before the engine struck
the cars on the siding The robbers
commenced firing at the train and en-
CINE as soon as it struck the siding, and
two of the robbers ran to the engine
and commanded Engineer Harris and
Fireman Cottren to come down, and as
soon as they had dismounted marched
them to the baggage and express
cars. where, by firing through the
doors, they forced Messenger Ford
to admit them. Meanwhile, two
more of the robbers had taken
up positions at the rear end of the
train to prevent anyone'S escaping
through the rear doors of the sleeper,
two more mounted the platform be-
tween the smoker and baggage car and
two more the platform between the
first and second coaches, all keeping
up continual firing. During this time
the two in the express car were ran
sacking the car. They got all the
money in the local safe and Messenger
Ford's gun, and then commanded him
to open the through safe. He told
them it was impossible, and after hear
ing his explanation as to how it was
locked they left the express car.
The two robbers on the front plat
form then started through the coach
demanding money and valuables. As
soon as they reached the rear end of
the coach the two men on that plat
form started through the second coach
When they were about half way
through this car a freight train follow
ing close behind whistled and Bill
Cook, the leader, who had all the time
remained outside issuing COM
mands, swearing at the pas
sengers and shooting, called for all
hands to come out. The men on the
cars jumped out, and when ali were on
the outside, fired last volley at the
train and disappeared in the darkness.
There were eight or ten men in the
party; two of them were white, the
others were half-breeds, or negroes,
possibly white men with blacl1ened
faces, otherwise they were not dis
guised.
Jack Mahara, an advance agent for
Mahara's Minstrel Co., was struck in
the forehead by a bullet and seriously,
if not fatally, injured.
There were two special officers of the
Missouri Pacific road and a deputy
United States marshal on the train,
but the attack was so sudden that they
were powerless. The train was COM
pletely riddled with bullets, every
window being broken and the engine
cab shot to pieces. The mail car was
not molested.
