STARVATION IN OKLAHOMA.

Kansas City, June 10.-For some
time reports of restitution and suffer
ing among the settlers in parts Of Ok
lahoma have reached the public, but
for the most part they are not believ-
ed. 1t was thought that newspaper
correspondents of the territory were
using the subject rs a means of tiding
over dull season, and official denials
of reported instances lent color to this
theory. Rev. Shane and Judge Il. b.
Nash, Of Grant county, Oklahoma,
reached this city today with a story of
the actual condition of affairs among
the settlers there that is grapic in Its
picture of desolation and want. They
come as a committee sent out by the
people of Grant county to solicit aid
for the destitute and hungry. They
have letters from number of we'll
known men vouching for them. They
declare that the condition of affairs in
Grant county is one of desperate want.
Gaunt hunger is their constant com
panion and the situation is such that
only instant aid will prevent actual
starvation among those who are trying
to hold the claims which they secured
In the Cherokee Strip opening Sep
TENDER 16, 1893.
Owing to the drouths which have
prevailed since the opening, no crops
have been raised. AS result the set
tiers are in actual want. They have
no resources to exist on there, and to
make the situation more desperate
they cannot get away. The restitution
is so great and widespread that the
county government can furnish no
assistance and the territorial govern
ment has no money for such purposes.
Slswly but surely the settlers exhaust
ed their resources.
With actual starvation in sight, the
people of Prairie township held a meet
ing which resulted in sending Rev.
Shane and Judge Nash to tell the
story of their extreme want to the
charitable people of Kansas and Mis-
souri, and to beseech aid. They want
provisions, flour, seed, clothing any
thing in fact that will cover nakedness
and fight off hunger. The stories the
two messengers tell of the destitution
is affecting in the extreme. Rev. Mr..
Shane, who draws pension of $14
per month, tells this story: "For the
last three months four families have
been existing on my pension money
1t would do, in ordinary circumstances
for the bare wants of my immediate
family, but with four families you can
imagine what it meant. Last Monday

the grocery bill which had accumulated
during the quarter and then had S1.75
Just before leaving on this trip ask
ed credit for sack of -four, but it was
refused. Then we had to face immed-
late want. 1t had been customary for
the merchants to credit those who had
pensions, for they were sure of getting
the money. But with credit denied
the last resource was cut off. My SON
in-law and his wife started away in
their wagon Tuesday without a cent
and without provisions. They said
they might as well beg and starve on

THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL.

When the appointmantsso Judge
Judson Harmon became known In Gin
cinnati attorneys from the courts and
offices rushed to the Office of Harmon,
Colston, Goldsmith & Headley to con-
graduate the new Attorney General
and ask for date for farewell dinner
from the bar. Judge Harmon said he
had received letter from President
Cleveland anu han replied to it by wire,
but he had no knowledge of his APP
pointment till advised by the Asso-
ciated Press.
Judge Harmon is recognized not only
as one of the foremost lawyers and
jurists of his state, but is one of the
most popular citizens. He was born
near Cincinnati forty-nine years ago,
has always lived there, and is known by
all. His father Rev. B. F. Harmon, was
a Baptist minister, well known through
out the Ohio Valley. Judge Harmon
was graduated from the Dennison Uni
versity, Baptist institution, at Gran
vile, Ohio, in 1866, and began the
practice of law in Cincinnati in 1863.
He was a republican till 1872, when he
"Greeleyized." He was elected Super
ior Judge in 1878. reelected in 1888,
and when ex-Gov. Geo. Hoadlcy went to
New York in 1887, Judge Harmon re-
signed from the bench to become the
head of the firm of Harmon, Colston,
Goldsmith & Hoadley, which represents
several railways and other large cor
porations, and with which firm he will
continue his connection. When Judge
Harmon resigned in 1887, Governor
Foraker appointed Judge William Taft,
now United States Circuit Judge, and
formerly Solicitor General, to fill
vacancy.
Mrs. Harmon is an accomplished
lady, the daughter of the late
DR.. Scobey, of Hamilton. They have
three daughters, Mrs. Edman Wright,
Jr., of Philadelphia; Miss Elizabeth, a
recognized society leader, and Marjoria,
the youngest of the family, who is IA
years old.

CHARGES OF INCOMPETENCE.

San Francisco, June S.-Gus Rowan,
one of the survivors of the Colima, has
sent communication to the Call, in
which he says: 81 want to make a
statement now if you will allow me to
do so. You can find out what l say is
true If you will see the other men
picked up. Some of them will not dare
to tell the truth, as they have been
promised money to keep still.
"The Colima was lost because she was
badly handled by officers without capa-
city and bad men when the gale struck
us. When l saw that the ship was 60
ing to sink l went after the life preser-
vers and commenced to give them out
to the passengers. The steward told
me to let them alone and ordered me
forward. 1 was saved because l got a
life preserver, and If the others had
been allowed to get them, too, many
would have been saved with me.
"The passengers were kept penned
up until the last moment and then made
to go down in the ocean like pack of
dogs. If some of the passengers had
killed the steward, who kept them from
getting safety, it would have been a
mercy to the others In spite of what
he told me l kept on giving out life
preservers, and by this saved some peo-
pie from DEATH
Rowan, who was badly injured in the
wreck also. says that he did not receive
proper care on the San Juan and
charges the surgeon of that ship with
gross negligence.
Y AS result of testimony given at the
federal inquiry into the cause of the
Colima disaster number of suits for
damages will be brought against the
Pacific Mail company. 1t is alleged
that the company was criminally neg
ligent in the manner in which it loaded
the ship.
The Chronicle of June Sth says
i'Among those who will make the Pa
cific Mail defend itself against iudg-
ment for damage is l.. r. Brewer, the
wealthy planter, whose wife and three
children went down on the Colima.
His home is destroyed, his happiness
gone, and he is inspired by a bitterness
which words can hardly express. He
knows much of the methods of the Pa
cific Mail company and told the story
of how the Colon, only few months
ago, narrowly escaped disaster because
her decks were piled with lumber I'M
til she become top-heavy. Even a
slight swell threw her from her position.
Brewer was passenger on the Colon
and gives with great clearness his de-
scription of the Inconvenience and dan
ger created by the overlooking of the
decks. He is not alone in his charge,
every accusation being corroborated
by another who was passenger on the
same ship.
The representatives of the Pacific
Mail know that an attempt will be
made to hold them responsible for the
wreck of the Colima. They acted up
on that knowledge when the United
States inspectors of boilers and steam
ships began and practically finished

AN OMAHA TRAGEDY.

Early Sunday evening tragedy oc-
Cured in the home of wealthy citizen
in most fashionable quarter of the
city. Toprotect her honor, II not her
life, Mrs. James Ish, SAT South Twenty
Ninth street, shot and killed young
man named Chappell, one Of the agents
for the Singer Manufacturing company
in fhis city. About month ago Mrs.
Ish bought sewing machine from this
agent, but 1t did not work right and
she found it necessary to call him
number OF times to get 1t in order.
Three or four days ago, while on one of
these errands, he made an indecent pro-
posal to her, but she did not tell her
husband, through fear, she says.
Saturday Chappell was called again,
but did not comeuntil evening. When
Mrs. lsh saw him coming she called to
her husband, whe was in his mothers
yard, a few doors away, and Chappell
and Ish entered the house together.
Chappell, after conversation, went into
the front bed room, where the machine
was, and Ish went down cellar after
some kindling. When in the room with
Mrs. Ish, Chappell repeated his in
decent proposal and on taking hold OF
Mrs. Ish she began to fight him, Mt the
same time calling for help. lmmedi-
ately,, Chappell drew from his pocket "a
revolver, but Mrs. Ish snatched it from
him and fired every chamber at him.
Just at this moment Ish, who had
heard his wife's cries, came running
into the room having first secured his
own revolver, and his wife snatched
this from his hand and fired four more
shots at her assailant. He fell to the
floor shot in four places in the neck and
directly over the heart and died In
stantly. Mr.. Ish then ran to Clark's drug
store near by and notified the police
and coroner. The body was taken to
morgue and Mrs. lsh placed in custody.
She was formerly Miss Mable Ruger, of
Fremont, and has been married almost
three years.
At they police station Mrs. Ish while
evidently under great strain, related
the circumstances of the assault and Of
the shooting with much composure.
She exhibited place in her dress just
behind the right shoulder showing the
violence with which Chappell had laid
hands on her. She said she could not
wait even for her husband to run up
stairs, owing to the awfnl pain she was
n, and the shooting was done in her
desperation to protect herself. Evident
ly the fatal shot was from her husband q
revolver, for Chappell was still stand
ing and had seized chair to strike her
when Ish entered the room. He had not
time to realize the situation when his
wife grabbed his revolver and COM
pleted the work. Little or nothing
could be learned about the dead man.
