A BAD BILL.
People of Oklahoma DOn'e Like Senator
Martins Sooner Law.


Martins Sooner Law.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Feb. 20.-The people
here are just beginning to realize the
true import of the bill introduced by
Senator Martin, OF Kansas, for the relief
of certain persons claiming homesteads
in Oklahoma The bill appears to be
very innocent one, but the fact is that it
is one of the most nefarious of all the
sooner or land grab bills ever introduced
in congress.
The people whom the bill will help
are not poor, honest settlers, ignorant
of the law or proclamation, but lot of
railway employees, government officials
and deputy United States marshals who
took everything in sight, and number
of deputies who attempted to steal a
large part of Oklahoma city.
The bill, if it becomes a law. will
jeopardize the homes of 5000 or 1000
people in this city. besides entailing
thousands of dollars loss to the city of
Guthrie, and the conditions are about
the same in all.the towns of the territory.
These sooners have lost in the land
office, before the secretary of the in
terror and in all the courts, and now they
seek to override the courts and rob the
people of their homes by special class
legislation.
They are exerting powerful in
fueuce, political and otherwise, and
have raised fund of $4,000 to help
matters along.

Judge Ferry did not seem In the least
disturbed this morning by the resolu-
tons passed against him last night, but
sat behind the police court bar with his
usual serene smile and dealt out shovel
fulls of justice without a finch.
J. b. Smith had flirted with the wine
when it was deep pink and was fined
So for it.
Stewart Hedges was a vagrant, but he
was young and sorry for it and so the
court gave him a SO hoater and let
him go.
Oracle johnson was found with c. H.
Tansen, in the house at Eleventh and
Quincy, last night. Oracle was dressed
with the evident intention of just killing
the judge on sight, but somehow she
didn't She pleaded guilty Immediately,
and was fined $25. 1t took her moment
to let the news soak in, and then she
gave the court one indignant fash from
her eyes that nearly upset him, tossed
her head so far back that it almost
dragged, and sailed back to jail. If she
had been fined $50 she would have
tipped clear over.
Jansen's case was continued till to-
morrow.

loafing about the Eleventh street place
and been arrested also They will be

Cora Barnes and Pearl Gooden, who is

men in a room on West Seventh street.
They were fined SO each after pleading

pleaded guilty and was fined So.
Richard johnson who had succeeded,
so the charge is, in extracting all of 81

day.
John Reed, an old colored man who
( lives on east Twelfth street with a very

come ''too numerous the other night and
was arrested. The girl, Trixie Hicks,
was present as a witness.
Reed insisted in talking too much and
too loud, and had to be silenced several
times.
"Whar's Heury spradling?" he wanted
to know once.
Don't know nuthin' bout Henry

HEAVY FIRE LOSS.
Henry strong's Lumber Plant Injured

Henry strong's Lumber Plant Injured
$4,000 or $4,000 Worth.
At six o'clock this morning a fire
started in the two story brick building
between Fifth and Sixth streets on Jack
son street, used as an office and storage
room by the Henry Strong Lumber COM
pany.
The fire began in a pile of building
paper in the basement near the elevator
shaft and soon stream of flame was
burning iercely in the whole length of
the elevator shaft and shooting for the
adjacent windows on both floors
The basement was a finder box. It
was filed with pine pickets. building
paper, carpet lining and plastering hair,
and it did na take the fire long to find
the most combustible material.
It looked as if nothing could save the
building and lumber yard, which covers
ak lots. The big building was filed
with smoke while a furnace heat meant
suffocation to any one who shou. d enter.
A gen eral alarm brought every avail :
able fireman to the burning building.
"When I arrived" said the chief, ''the
flames were shooting from the windows
on all the floors, and l at once said to
myself, Here is a fire which we can only
confine. | did not think we could save
the building"
NeVertneless the building was saved.
Every tim Der is blackened and the roof
is charred; and nearly every window light
in the building was broken by the heat,
but the structure still stands with the eX-
terror apparent intact
With six streams of water playing and
an hour of hard work the fire was under
control and the structure saved.
The value of the building and all the
stock was $4,000, upon which there was
insurance amounting to $4,000.
Mr.. Strong estimates his loss at $4,000
or ST., 900.
He will repair the building at once and
will not allow the fire to interfere with
! the transaction of business.

NEW YORK. Feb. 20--The Rio News
Of January 10, just received in the latest
nail gives the particulars of terrible
calamity in the bay of Rio Janerio It
says:
about 7:15 on Sunday evening the
9Th inst, fire broke out on the ferry
boat Tercelira soon after her leaving the
San Domingo landing. The boat left
Rio de JaneIro with a large number OF
passengers, estimated at 80 to 300, the
greater number of whom disembarked
ut San Domingo. About so people en-
barked at this point. 1t is generally es-
tim&ted that there were from 100 to 100
persons on board al the time of the dis
Aster.
although the Terclira was barely 300
meters from land when the fire appear
ed, nothing effective appears to have
been done to save the passengers except
the forethought of the engineers in open
ing the safety valves of the boilers to
prevent an explosion. The master sig
nailed for the engineer to stop and moth
ing more was done.
There was apparently but few life saw
ing appliances on board The fire burned
with such rapidity, however, that the
passengers were soon driven overheard
Where many were drowned, some were
rescued by the launch boats which hast
ened to the scene, and few succeeded
in swimming ashore.
The ferry boat Quinta had just left the
Nochteroy slip when the fire broke out,
and the master hurried promptly to the
scene. On approaching the burning
vessel, he was suddenly surrounded by
an excited crowd of passengers, some
with revolvers in their hands, who threat
ene1 his life, if he ventured near the
burning boat He was therefore com
PEELED to turn away, and leave the pas
sengers of the Tercelira to their fate. Be
fore doing so, however, hes had ali the
benches and other means of saving life
thrown overheard for those who were
struggling in the water. In little more
lhan half an hour the terrible scene was
at an end, so far as the passengers were
concernedn
