There will be laws passed validating the
acts Of the courts and all that, but this
will not be done without difficulty.

| associate justices of the supreme court
asking them if it is possible to be in
Guthrie on Wednesday next 10 hold

from proceeding further in the Martin
Burns litigation in Pottawatomie coun-
ty, APPLICATION for which Judge Redick
recently made to Judge Dale. This is
said to be the first time in the history
Of the territory such a writ was ever
applied for. 1t is case in which Mar

OUTLAWS AND POLITICS.
At Taloga, in far west Oklahoma. out
laws and the bandit question have be-
come mixed up with politics as the fol-
lowing from the Taloga Oklahoman will
show:
1.-THE battle with outlaws in which
Red Buck was killed and Miller
wounded, two outlaws, is an event from
which the people can draw a valuable
lesson. The Populists have full control
Of the power to arrest men in this
county. They go heavily armed and in
crowds at all times. and have never yet
brought in, or brought down a bad
man. Their method of work was fully
told in the Oklahoman in the attempted
arrest of Charley Smith. They have
shown themselves to be a bawling. blus-
tering, Dragging, stupid outfit, without
brains or courage-a disgrace to the arm
Of the law and a terror only to babies
and women.
ION the other hand, the two men
in D county-Billy CULLEN and Joe
Nentioner-who assisted in the arrest of
the outlaws named, are a Democrat and
Republican, and men who have cattle
interests in the county-men, whom the
Populist outfit are rating as outlaws.
Bravely and without flinching these men
followed Red Buck and fought bat
tie that makes them both heroes. Ven
toner is wounded, and his body is
marked with honored scares.
Such is the politics, and such the
action Of D county officers. Citizens OF
y county. are you going to continue in
power men with such records as the
Populists hae, and permit them TO brand
honorable men as outlaws?"
SAYS IT WAS WRONG.
of the Eagle: 1 notice in your paper
of yesterday correspondence from
Ponca City, o. r. that the primaries
held there last Saturday resulted in
favor of Major Mckinley for president
and B. s. Barnes as candidate for dele
gate to st. Louis national convention,
which l am sorry TO say is untrue. The
campaign was managed by Henry f.
Asp of Guthrie and B. s. Barnes who
are known TO be Reed men but have
been making their fight under the cloak
of Mckinley, in order 10 get the indorse-
ment of the people of Kay county and
that 3. s. Barnes viii be Endorsed by
Kay county for delegate 10 St. Louis
which is also mistake as out of the
precincts now heard from all are
against him with the exception OF Ponca
City. his own town, and from present in
dications he viii not receive a vote from
the remainder Of the county.
The primaries held here resulted in
favor Of Major Mckinley by a large
majority.
The fight was being made by the fac
tons of Senator II. D. Baker. a Reed
man, and Captain W. II. Baker. chair
man Of the Kay county central COM
mittee, who has always been strong
