Guthrie. o. T.. April 24.-The Enid
Wave mas the following. In the fall OF
1893 one John R. Raines filed on NV.
20-26-5, at the Enid land office. II is al
legged by Jacob W. Johnson, who is con-
testing Raines for the claim that for a
consideration or some other stipulation,
Raines agreed 70 give Anderson Grey
half Of the claim when he proved up
mcnt was made between Raines and
Grey to the above effect, and Willie
Grey. a son of George Grey, was made
a witness to said contract.
Johnson got wind of this contract and
secured conference with the boy, who
agreed TO swear as to the contents Of
that contract, which, it is alleged. would
he damaging evidence as to the honesty
of pulpo of Raines, under the United
States land laws.
The case was called for trial at the
land Office last Monday. Just after the
boy Was called to give his evidence, his
father. George Grey, followed him into
the room, closely followed by Anderson
Grey. As the boy was about TO be sworn
the father grabbed him and said he
should not testify, claiming that the boy
was only Is years old, under age, and
he claimed the right TO forbid him to
give evidence in the case. Quite a strug-
gle ensued between father and son, in
which the boys clothes were torn, and
the boy. being young and stout, was
little too much for the old man to han
die, hence, Uncle Anderson was called
upon TO assist and between them they
forced the Boy from the contest room and
stood guard over him. The boy was will
ling TO give his testimony.
Johnson appeared before Commission
er Bradley and swore out a warrant for

ing conspiracy to prevent a witness to
testify before court Of the United
Stares Wednesday afternoon Judge

Of the grand Jury. They applied for writ
of habeas corpus before Judge Anderson.
who denied the writ for want Of juris-
diction. The Greys failed to secure
bonds and were taken to the federal
Jail al Guthrie this morning TO await
The action Of the grand jury.
GRANT CUNTY'S TROUBLE
The Grant County Viiette. Republican,
says: Speaking Of the arrest for embez-
Element in this county. this paper is Of
course no: prepared to say whether any,
one is guilty or not. Time, and fair
and impartial trial, will doubtless settle
that matter. The fact that the Populists
in their zeal TO prosecute somebody, have
caused these arrests is not In itself any
proof that there is guilt, for, in Garfield
county, they caused the arrest Of the ex-
treasurer on q charge OF stealing $4,000
from the county. He refused to give
bond and went TO Jail. A thorough in
vestigation proved that instead of his
owing the couny anything, the county
was indebtedto him in the sum OF $500.
which amount the county officials paid
him and would have been glad TO have
gotten off at that, but We are inform
ed he has sued them for heavy damag-
es for false Imprisonment. SO, We say,
reserve your judgment until the evidence
is in. for it is possible the Garfield coun-
ty farce IS being reinacted in this coun-
ty.
RUMOR FROM NEWKIRK.
The Arkansas City Traveller says: II
has got to be a very common occurrence
lately 10 hear Of postmaster coming
up short in his accounts II seems to
have become sort of an epidemic, and it
has been passing around over the coun-
try. Ii is corfined to no particular %
cality, but at present those who take the
epidemic is limited to the Democra tic
party. A gentleman just UP from New
kirk was in the city this morning and
he informed us that Inspector Sullivan
was there day or two since and check |
ed Postmaster Jones up. He found a
of something like s40S. The in !
resulted in the postofffce be- !
Ing turned over TO Mr.. Jones bondsmen, !
Mills G. Voris and Mr.. Owen. OF Kill |
dare They are running the office now |
while the regularly ordained" postmas-
ter is out among his friends. 1t is thought |
