WAR AMONG GENTLEMEN.
A Contest Is Raging in Beaver County, Ok,
 That May End Seriously.

PERRY, Ok, April l5.---In Beaver |. .county, Ok, great conflict is raging between homesteaders and cattlemen that may end very seriously. Beaver is the extreme western county in oklahoma, and very little of the public lands have been filed on by homesteaders. Farmers have picked out the quarter sections and the best ones have been taken and filings placed on them in the United States land office. The cattlemen have fenced up the lands not taken for homesteads for grazing purposes, and in many in- stances have fenced in a host of set tiers from the outside world. This fencing up by cattlemen is in direct conflict of the United States laws, and the few settlers are mak- ing it hot for them. Hundreds of complaints have gone to the commissioner of the general land office and Special Agent R. R. Poe of the land department at Washington has arrived at Beaver to make thorough investiga- tion of the numerous complaints by the homesteaders. Col. Poe has for warded circular to the numerous cat tlemen who are accused to meet him in Beaver City the 20th, with all other parties concerned, for a full investiga- ton. It is said that serious shooting scrupes occur nearly every day between the warning elements.

Opponents of the Income Tax Law Serve an
 Informal Notice Upon the Supreme
 Court.
 WASHINGTON, April l5. - Informal notice has been given to the United States supreme court by counsel in op. position to the income tax of pur. DO SC 10 ask the court for a. rehearing of the income tax question. The peti. tion asking rehearing probably will be made to-day by Lawyer Guthrie. In view of the importance of the case the impression prevails that the court will grant the motion, and that ar. engagements will be made for a speedy hearing and final determination of the issue. Justice Jackson's health has improved considerably of late, and it is known in this city that Judge Jackson recently expressed his determination tc come to Washington and resume his official duties in case the income tax suits were set down for immediate hearing, and, in view of this fact, it is believed that the cases will be reopened and a decision be given upon those portions of the law upon which eight justices are now equally divided.

On the principal lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway passenger trains are electric lighted, steam heated and protected by block signals. With these modern appliances, railway travelling at high speeds has reached degree of safety heretofore unknown and not attainable on roads where they are not in use. Electric lights and steam heat make 1t possible to dispense with the oil lamp and the car stove.
