of about S27, 1000. The cashier is b. D.

caused by the failure and the reti-
cence OF the bank officers. The bank
had a capital of $3.50, 900 and an adver.
tised surplus of $4,000. Thos. Couch,

The sTRoUoE TRAGEDY.
Ehe Town TerrorIzed and Several Citizens
Carried on to be Murdered

Carried ON to be Murdered.
GUTHRIE, Okla, Feb. 6.-Communi-
sation has been been restored to
Stroudc, and particulars of the recent
E7id have been received:
Two weeks ago, while quarreling
aver some land, Griffis was shot and
EiIIed and his father slightly wounded
ny Henry Lurton. Lurton was arrest
cd, but admitted to bail Wednesday.
Did mau Griffis and three of his sons,
accompanied by four other men, rode
into Stroud and compelled every body
20 close their stores and hide away,
saying there was going to be battle.
Several hours later as Henry Lur-
Con. his son Everett, Jim Furber and
9Id man Robinson were entering the
Gown they were ambuscaded and COM
peIled to surrender by the other crowd,
~xho bound them to horses and rode
0f into the Creek country with them.
Later they released Jim Furber, who
returned and said that they had de-
-Iared they would hang old man Lur-
Ton and shoot his son and Robinson.
The people of Stroud were COM
2IeteIy terrorized, and most of them
have been afraid to venture from
-Eheir houses since.
A posse was organized at Chandler
Thursday night to go to the rescue of
the three men carried off, but there is
little hope of reaching them in the
woods and mountains of the Creek
country
A message from Stroud late last
evening says that a report had reached
there that Henry Lurton and Robin
son have been found dead hanging to
trees and their bodies riddled with
ballets, but it cannot be confirmed.
Stroud is south of Sac and Fox
agency, and this encounter gave rise

which he used in 5 dney to convince
the innocent prospectors that he was
fully capable of finding gold in the
Blue mountains.
Butler told one of his supposed
friends yesterday morning that as
soon as he reached Australia he could
easily clear himself by turning queens
evidence.

shooting of Capt. Weller" said But

did not want my attorneys to oppose
an immediate hearing of the extra
dition proceedings, and was disap-
pointed in not being able to get back
on the steamer tomorrow.
Il do not wish to be freed here by
legal technicality, for l am positive
that my innocence will be esta blished
on my return"
The admissions already made by the
prisoner show beyond d doubt that
he is well acquainted with the details
of the murder of Weller.
Capt. Lees and the Australian de-
tectives, Roche, McHattie and Conroy,
place no credence in the statements of
Butler that he can establish n alibi
or escape by the turning of queens
evidence.

SHAM REFORMS
A Kind of Chaf That VIII Not Catch the

Cuban Bird.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5-Senor Tomas
Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate,
when interviewed yesterday concern.
ing the proposed reforms in Cuba,
gave out the following statement:
Had geuine autonomy instead of
sham reforms been offered to the peo-
pie of Cuba before they rose in arms
the Cubans would surely have ac-
cepted it, and thereby bloodshed and
total devastation of the island would
have been averted."
IF the Cuban people did not accept
these sham reforms then aud rose in
arms for independence, how would
they accept them now or enter into
any kind of compromise which has
not for its basis the absolute indie
pendence of the islands?

ABOUT RAILROAD TRAVEL.

what Prominent Railroad Omdal Says
Relative to the Cost of Carrying Rassen-
gers on Western Roads.
Mr.. P. S. Eustis, General Passenger
Agent of the C. d. & @. z. R., in a re-
cent argument before the house COM
mittee of the Missouri legislature on
the two-cent bill, gave some valuable
and surprising information about the
passenger business in the west. His
statements were based upon the reports
of the interstate commerce commission
and the railroad and warehouse COM
mission of Missouri.
Mr.. Eustis showed in the first place
that the volume of passenger traffic on
railroads is dependent upon the density
Gnd wealth of population in the territory
through which it runs, and then COM
pared the population of Missouri and the
traffic resulting from it with the same
figures in other states, thus clearly IL
lustrating the theory of his point.
The following table showing the rela-
tive population and rates is interesting
in this connection.

COLEMAN'S ARREST

May Prove to Have Be.kl Mistake on the
Part of the Post ONCE Department.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--The impress
sion that the inspectors of the post of
fce department have made mistake
in arresting Hamilton Z. Coleman in
New York Wednesday on the charge
of stealing uncanceIled stamps used
for bags and second-cIass mail matter
is gaining ground here in the official
circles concerned. Yesterday after
noon a conference with regard to the
case was held between Postmaster
General Wilson, Kerr Craige. the third
assistant postmaster-general, Chief
Inspector Wheeler and Inspector Ar
rington, and while the result was not
made public it is believed that Cole
mans chances for release were i'm
proved by it.
Post office officials are discovering
many methods by which the stamps
could get into the possession of indi-
viduals not connected with the de-
partment without recourse to criminal
or other illegal methods. 1t is said
that retiring postmasters frequently
abstract periodical and other stamps,
cover up the matter in their final re-
ports and pay any deficiency out of
their own pockets. The government
loses nothing, and the retiring post
master dispOses of the periodical
stamps for an amount sufficient to
cover up his own contribution to the
post office department, and perhaps
makes something extra.
A. c. Townsend, the philatelist,
with whom Coleman was associated,
maintains that Coleman is innocent,
and that proof of it can be produced.
Coleman's reputation among his asso-
ciates in the general land office is ex-
ceI!eut.
