CALLAHAN GETS BACK
At Those Who Have Served
Him an Ill Turn.
CLARK HUDSON Is SUED
For Money Which the Dele
gate Claims Is Due Him.

Guthrie, O. T, Nov. 21.-(Special)-Now
that the election is over, Delegate J. Y.
Callahan has commenced to square &C
counts with the persons whom he holds
accountable for his treacherous turning
down in the Populist convention when he
was seeking a denomination last July,
and the first person TO feel the hand OF
revenge is Clark Hudson, against whom
he has brought suit in Oklahoma county
for $477e5 and interest The petition COM
Y1rises two counts. The first alleges that
Hudson borrowed from the Citizens bank
of FL Reno $453.56 giving note dated
January g, 1885, with J. Y. Callahan and
j. J. O'Rourke as suretieS. The note be-
came due in April and Hudson failed TO
meet the obligation. Mr.. Callahan there
,pon paid the principal and interest and
took up the note. The petition alleges
that the note has since been lost. The
second count OF the petition sues Hud-
son for $3.50, with 10 per cent interest,
money loaned Hudson by the plaintln
IN October, 1891 To an OklahOman re-
porter Hudson stated that the money was
used in conducting the State Register, the
official organ of the Populist party, Of
which he was editor at the time Hud-
son says further that the suit was instI-
tuted for revenge because Of the belief
that he was instrumental in defeating
Callahan for denomination, and intmateS
that he VIII fight the case. The suit IS
OF territorial interest because Of the prom
thence Of the parties and the attorneys
who appear for the plaintiff. Mr.. Gala
han is the present delegate to congress
and Mr.. O'Rourk was chairman Of Gala
hans campaign committee in 1895; Hud-
son was formerly editor Of OF the Popu-
list territorial organ and secretary of
Keaton's campaign committee in the last
campaign. Appearing against him in the
suit as attorneys for the plaintiff are
Judge Keaton and D. c. Lewis, who was
one of the first to publicly desert The
fusion cause in the last campaign.
There is strong probability that the
Frisco Will push onward from Oklahoma
City and tap the rich southwest country
lying adjacent, extending through the XII
owa and Commando country to the Red !
river In his speech at the Oklahoma [
City banquet to the Frisco officials the /
other evening President Robinson indi- (
C. ted that il was the purpose of the Frisco /
to extend the road still further. provided /
The business men Of Oklahoma City would /
give their moral support TO the enter (
prise, in which case the merchants OF 1
St Louis would take 1t up. The pro- /
posed extension would hasten the open /
ing Of the kiowa and Commando reser- /
vations TO settlement, and add largely /
10 the trade of OklahomaC iyt which IS
already forging 10 the front as the dis /
tributing center Of the territory.
The Hennessey Clipper reports an ad- !
dition of Sl4259 last week to the Roy Cash /

S256-25, not including the subscriptions col |
lected by outside newspapers. The fund /
IS assuming such proportions that the 1
building committee feels justified in incor- 4
pGrating, which will be done at once.
