IS in the hands of the Hon. E. G. Rath-
bone, who was assistant postmaster
general under Harrison, and is here as
one OF the managers for Hanna. 1t has
been reported for several days that this
case was before the grand Jury of
FRANKLIN county. but when that body
closed its work this evening, it was nm
officially understood that neither the
Maddey case nor any other case con-
nected with the senatorial contest was
before that body.
DRAMATIC SCENE.
While it is not likely that any indict-
ment will be made, yet it is quite prob
able that there will be an attempt in
the legislature tomorrow for a dramat-
lie scene on the charge of bribery. The
opposition is charging the Hanna men
tonight with voting down the motions
and the resolutions today for an inves-
tigation of the bribery charges made by
Representative Otis. The Hanna men
say they Will give the fullest considers
ton to this investigation at the proper
time, but that the purpose of these
charges now is to stampede the legiS-
lature on the ballOting for senator, and
that such a scheme cannot be carried
through. Some Of the Hanna men also
state that at the proper time they will
reorganize the house. as the vote of
today showed that they had a majority
of three over all in that body

have been offered bride at his home in
Cincinnati, that case could be brought
only before the grand jury of Hamilton
county, and it would be necessary for
Representative Otis to be there as a
witness. Mr.. Otis and others who would
be wanted as witnesses in that case are
here tonight, and it is not thought TO
be probable that Mr.. Otis would be
absent tomorrow. If the vote is cast
tomorrow, as it was cast today the
absence of Mr.. Otis and others opposed
to Hanna, would have no effect on the
result. There was talk of flibustering,
but the opposition could not break a
joint quorum if all their members
should remain away.
The other case of alleged bribery
comes from the other side. Represen-
tatiVe Snider of Green county, who has
been stopping at the Neil House
during the last week, voted today
for Hanna, for Boxwell for speaker last
Monday a week, and attacked the Re
last Saturday. The opponents of Sen
ator Hanna have been after him closely
and constantly. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Maddey came to the Neil House to see
Mr.. Snider, and that he claimed to rep
resent KurtZ and Bliss. Representative
Snider had been anticipating the visit
and a stenOgrapher was concealed in
the bath room adjoining his apart
ments.
1t is charged that Mr.. Snider was Of
fered $4,000 for his vote and that the
names OF his hackers were given by the
caller.

versation between Snider and Maddey

chair will announce tomorrow that
there was no election today and that a
joint ballot will be in order. AS soon
as the two bodies meet in joint con-
vention at noon tomorrow their re-
spective journals of today will be read
and the lieutenant governor will make
the usual official declaration.
If all the senators and represent
atives are recorded on the joint ballot
tomorrow as they were recorded today
Senator Hanna will have majority of
only one over all. But in the absence
of Representative Cramer and by some
of the Democrats refusing to vote for
Mayor McKisson, he is likely to have
a larger majority of record on the jour
result apparently hanging on the
change of only one vote, the contest
has continued all night the same as it
has been going on here other nights for
the past two weeks.
The seven Republicans who refused to
vote for Senator Hanna today have
since signed statements that burn the
bridges behind them. Senator Burke,
Representatives Scott, Mason, Jones
and Rutan say they will vote for Hanna
if the Otis charges are proven to be
untrue. Representatives Otis and
Bramley, however, simply signed a cod
iciI to the statement of the other five
dissenters, in which they concur in
asking for an investigation, but they
state that they will not vote for Sena-
tor Hanna under any circumstances.
While the bureaus of claim and of
charges are in full operation on both
sides tonight as usual, there also are
reports about the bribery charges be-
ing presented to the grand jury of
Hamilton county and of Franklin
county. The grand juries are in ses-
sion in both of these counties, and there
are current reports tonight of efforts
to secure indictments before tomorrow
noon. As Representative Otis claims to

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Every Reason to Believe a Pitched
Battle Has Occurred.


Battle Has Occurred.
Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. IA special
to the Times from Shawnee, o. T.,
says:
The west-bound train on the Choctaw
branch of the Frisco railroad today
brought to this city every woman and
child from Earlboro, town of 200 peo-
pie, near the border of the Seminole
nation. The burning at the stake of
McGeisey and Sampson, the Seminole
half breeds, for the murder of Mrs.
Leard, and the violence of the mob in
an attempt to secure others implicated,
has so enraged the Seminoles that they
have banded together, and are riding
over the country between Maud and
Wowola in a wild rage, killing the
stock.
This morning, between . and g. a
party of about 20 savages half breeds
and thugs, rode into neighborhood Is
miles southeast of Earlboro, and began
shooting through the doors and win
dOws Of the house of a man who had
recently come from Ohio. Every per-
son in the house is reported to have
been killed.
The people who have come in on the
train from Earlboro say that about 10
o'clock regular pitched battle oc-
CURED, ard that three families were
killed. There is a general uprising.
Messengers have been sent to the mil
itary station, demanding immediate aid
and protection. The people at Maud
have arranged wagons to take the
women and children out of the country,
under guard of armed horsemen.
When the reports reached Earlboro,
the women and children were put on
the train and sent into Oklahoma. A
great many stopped as soon as they got
well across the territory line, but most
Of them came as far as FL Reno.
They were so frightened that many
of them got off the train along the way,
leaving what little baggage they had
managed to pick UP in their hurry.
Some OF them were crying: others
pleaded for men to go to the rescue.
Most of them were absolutely frantic
No names of the killed could be learn
ed, and no particulars, except as gath
cred from frightened people who were
running away. The train officials say
there IS serious trouble, and some
whites have been killed. but that the
stories Of the people who are leaving
are probably exaggerated

Commissioner Fears is thoroughly in

to report what takes place to the in

Indian uprising is wholly false and
without foundation. 1t is rumored that
the people along the Oklahoma line fear
the Indians viii cross the line and
avenge the death of their brothers.
This. however, need not be feared, as
all is quiet and serene in the Seminole
nation. Yet feeling has been created
by the cruel and hasty action of the
mob.

ton TO urge the Indians to be quiet and
not commit any reprehensible acts. Sen
sational reports as to an Indian out
