WHO GOT THE WATCH?
A LaughabIe Incident In Which Windso
Officers Made Themselves Famous.

The great crowd at Windsor fair,
Thursday. was a picnic place for pick
pockets, but there We're none there
However, a man who probably in the
watch at home on the piano, missed his
timer and at once concluded that he
had been robbed. The police depart
mcnt Of the fair was notified and a dill
gent search for the thief instituted
Some Of the officers We're very Jealous
and in a few minutes had several peo-
pie under arrest, though why they
should be arrested the victims did not
know. and why they had arrested
them the officers could not tell. No
one had seen a1iy suspicious characters
about except couple of newspaper
less, there was 10 description to assist
in ferreting out the criminal, but the
officers seemed anxious to arrest some
body, and so fell upon a couple of dozen
strangers residents Of Augusta and
other places, probably in the mad but
vain hope that luck might run in their
favor ami among the whole lot the
much wanted man be found 1t must
have been somewhat distressing to the
Jealous officers to be obliged to give
their captivcs up upon their being
identified as honest and reputable citi-
zens of the old Pine Tree State, but
that was what the officers were obliged
to do.
Those arrested were at first very in
dignant, but later decided to add the
Incident to their list of funny expert
ences in life, and let it so at that This
wholesale arresting of decent people
without evidence of guilt may some
day cost somebody something.

paper currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that al
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
and it should be legal tender. We are
unalterably opposed to the issue by the
United States OF interest bearing bonds
in time Of peace, and We denounce as q
treasury policy, concurred in by the re-
publican house, OF plunglng the country
in debt by hundreds of millions in a vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and We de nand the
payment of all coin obligations of the
United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option of the government and not at the
option of the creditors.
3. That over aud above all other ques-
tons OF policy, We are in favor Of restor-
ing to the people Of the United States
the time. honored money Of the constitu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money Of Washington, Hamilton,
jefferson, Monroe, Jackson and Lin
coin, to the end that the American peo-
pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations in an honest
standard and not in a standard that has
appreciated 100 per cent above all the
great staples Of the country, and to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived of the unjust
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla-
ton alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people OF the United States to leave in
allegiance for the moment all other ques-
tons, however important and even mo
m%entous they may appear-to sunder il
need be all former party ties and affiilia-
tions, and unite in ore supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination OF the money power-a
power more destructive than any which
has ever been fastened upon civilized
man OF any race or in any age. And
upon the coEsummation Of our desires
and efforts We invoke the gracious favor
OF Divine Providence.

TROUBLE AT TUSKAHOMA.

Attempt to Evict sGuaw Men Will C,uss
Another Fight.
CHICAGO, Oct. GA special to The
Herald from Tuskahoma, l. T., says. the
trouble which has been brewing for
some months between the full bloOds
and squaw men of the Choctaw Nation
has broken out more violently than
ever, and that unless indications fail,
there will be serious bloodshed. The
full bloods who have obtained control
of the council passed laws cutting the
squaw men off from their landed prop
erty and made provision for evicting
them. When the first attempt at evic-
tion was made, a few weeks ago, there
was a clash in the streets of this city in
which several squaw men were killed,
and many on both sides more or less in
jured.
Then comparative quiet reigned for q
time, but when the attempt 20 evlct the
squaw men was renewed this week,
trouble broke ont again. There have
been q number of conflicts during the
past few days, and an unknown num-
Der on both sides have been hurt, while
1t is reported that several have been
killed. Eoth sides have been gathering
their forces during the week and are
preparing for a pitched battle.
Citizens of the town have appealed to
the federal authorities, and troops will
be sent at once. There are several
troops of cavalry at Fort Reno in camp
on Pond creek, 40 or so miles from here,
and they are expected in time to take q
hand in the disturbance.
