CASE OF GENERAL R0SENBAUM
History of the Controversy. and It's
InderINing Animus.

Guthrie, .. T, Marcn -N--tSpeclal-)-
Now that the investigation is over and
Adjutant-General Rosenbaum acquitted
of any connivance or completely. either
as instigator, alder or abetter in the un-
fortunate assault made upon Colonel
stiles last December. it is proper 10 state
for the information of the public the in
side history of the causes which led up
TO the charges and imputations against
Rosenbaum, and which resulted IN the
converting OF court Of inquiry, without
indulging in any aspersions upon the mo-
tives of any person connected with the
matter.
1t has been generally known that there
was considerable rivalry between the
friends Of Rosenbaum and the friends OF
Stiles who desired their appointment 70
be ad5utsut- general Of the territory after
the Inauguration Of Governor Barnes last
summer and that the feeling il regard
10 this matter ran so high that II was
carried by them into every transaction
connected with the management Of the
National guards.
When the assault was perpctrated up
on Colonel Stiles last December II the
santa Fe depot. it was at once denounced
as an outrage by Governor Barnes and
by aIl good citizens of Guthrie. and has
never been sanctioned or approved in any
way by the people OF this city. Colonel
Stiles consulted with the governor the
day after the occurrence and stated 10
him that ample evidence could he pro-
duced connecting General RosenbaUm
as snstigator, alder ard abetter in said
assault The difieulties surrounding =
military hearing, and the fact that the ex-
treme punishment that could be awarded
TO any personal member OF the national
guard convicted of such an offense would
be q dismissal from the service. led the
governor TO suggest 10 Coioael Stiles that
proceedings should be commenced in the
civil courts. which suggestion. however,
did not meet the approval OF Colonel
Stiles The colonel from time 10 time in
formed the governor that he was gather
ing evidence in the matter, and would IN
due time lay the matter before him OFF,

FOR REPUBLICAN UNITY
Grimes Says BurweIIs Appointment
il in That Interest

FL Reno, o. T., March 2S.-(SpeciaL)-
! Hon. William Grimes, of Kingfsher, has
returned from a trip to Washington,
1 where he has been during the free homes
! fight. He says the appointment of 3. F.
! Burwell, of Oklahoma City, is a decided
victory for the Republican party and a
! recognition Of the party organization by
/ the president. Mr.. Grimes is also of the
| opinion that Judge Roberts, of Kingfsher,
will be appointed associate justice as soon
as Judge McAtee steps out. Mr.. Grimes
| feels hilarious over BurwelPs APP
| pointment and says it IS a long step to-
wards uniting the Republican party in
Oklahoma.
Hon. J. ]. O'Rourk has returned from

SAYS: IF with emphasis on the ''if'O the
Democrats and Pops fuse this year there
! is nothing to hinder them from getting
everything in sight, He also says: The
! Populists have had their whack at the

| The Eagle CORRESPONDENT has made dill
| gent inquiries relating to the acreage of
cotton that will be planted this spring.
| Farmers who planted from forty to sixty
/ acres of cotton last year Will not plant
| more than fifteen acres this year They
claim that it does not pay to plant cotton
at present prices and besides it takes time
and hard labor before the crop finds its
way into a mans pocket. Last year a
number of fields were not picked at all
on account of the scarcity of labor.
Where cotton grew in a number of fields

The people of Arapahoe are worked up
to a fever heat over the extension Of the
Choctaw. It is not likely the road will
reach ArapahOe any nearer than Wealth
erfOrd. AS it looks to those who know,
/ the survey does not so any farther than
that place and as no other corps of sur
veyors have put in an appearance, It
can be safely said the road will not be
built beyond that point
A new corporation, styling itself the
ChOctaw Townsite company, has located
a piece of land on the new extension over
in Blaine county upon which to build a
town that Will in a century or so leave
Ell Reno in the shade. The Choctaw rail-
road. it is said, has nothing whatever
10 do with this scheme, but It was very
anxious a short time ago for several par
ties to prove up on their claims without
delay The party who proved up first was
to organize townsite board which could
be approved by the officials of the road.
The town will be located and building
commenced sometime next week.
Two of the wards in this city held a
caucus Friday and nominated an alder
man and member Of the school board in
the Second ward and two aldermen in
the Third ward. The other two wards
have not done anything yet. Attorneys
are divided as TO the legality OF such a
proceeding. The time has long gone BY
when the certificates Of nomination
should have been filed in the Office Of the

WITH A HIGH HAND
Judge Tawsney DiscipIineS
Custer County Folks
LURES ARE SENT HOME
And New Ones ImpaneIed--
Sheriff Gets a Fine.

Ell Reno, o. T, March 2S-(SpeciaL)-
Judge John C. Tarsney is moving with
a brush scythe out at Arapahoe. The
first thing he did after opening court
there, last week, was to discharge the
whole panel of juries, petit and grand
for the term, and then draw new grand
Jury. The grounds for this action were
developed on the motion Of the county
attorney, who set out that there had been
irregular, if not corrupt proceedings on
the part of the officers who prepared the
jury list The evidence taken showed
On the face of it. al least, that two diff
ferent-sized ballots containing the names
# the jurors had been used, and that
hose on one size had the names of jurors
residing in particular localities who were
Known to be friendly TO certain parties
Indicted for crime, while the others were
# those supposed to be unfriendly.
Judge Tarsney quashed the panel IN
haste, so soon as the alleged trick was
exposed.
The Hadlock arson case has not been
ret for trial, and is not likely 10 be tried
this term. Knight, who was indicted for
the same offense, will no doubt get a
trial, but at present it is hard to say
that such will be the case. Colonel Bob
Forrest will prosecute and Judge John
j. Ollie will defend Knight.
Judge Tarsney gave the sheriff Of Arap-
ahoe a surprise last Friday when he fined
that officer s25 for alleged failure to at
tend to his business in court. His honor
told the sheriff If he could not attend To
his duties he would find some one who
could.

the governor was in the form of letter
| addressed to Colonel Stiles, under date
| of January 20. signed by McGregor Doug
las. captain and ordnance officer, in which
he informed Colonel Stiles that he had
recognized one of the parties who made
the assault and that he had reliable in
formation to the effect that the assault
was planned, in part at least, in the office
of the adjutant-general of Oklahoma, and
with the knowledge and approval OF
Adiutant- General Phil. c. Rosenbaum,
which said letter was forwarded 10 the
governor, indorsed by Colonel Stiles, as
follows:
Headquarters First Regiment, o. n. G.,
Oklahoma City. Q. T., Jan. p, 1888.
Respectfully forwarded to Governor c.
NJ. Barnes:
The information herewith is furnished
in compliance with request dated 'Execu-
tive Department, December go 1891
Captain Douglas makes direct charges
that Captain ARIEL was the leader in
the assault referred TO. and that Adjutant-
General Phil. c. Rosenbaum was the in
stigator and abetter of the same. The
other participants were members Of Com
pany A, o. n. c., and their names can
be furnished at any time.
1 have carefully examined the evidence
in this case, and hereby certify that it
fully sustains the charges. Referring to
our conversation on the 23rd nit, in refer
ence to the trial of the accused parties
either by military or civil court, 1 res
pectfully suggest that as this was strictly
a military of1ense and was committed by
military officers, and by men in the mill
tary service, 1t should by all means be
tried by military court, thereby giving
such punishment as a military court may
deem just and proper. and by all means
maintaining military discipline. Captain
Douglas has asked for court Of inquiry.
l. therefore, respectfully ask that a court
Of inquiry be convened preliminary to a
test court martial. with Instructions TO
investigate all the facts pertaining TO the
whole matter, and to make such recon-
mendations as il may deem proper.
d. r. STILES,
Col. I Reg, o. n. G., Commander.
Under the rules and regulations govern
ing in such cases court of inquiry could
not be granted except upon the request
Of officers against whom misconduct had
been charged or alleged, as the articles
accord such privileges only to such per-
son. A proper method of procedure would
have been for Colonel Stiles and Captain
Douglas to have filed charges and speci-
ficatiOns asking for a court-martial to
try the same and giving names of wit
nesses, said charges being analogous to
an indictment by a grand jury in civil
court, and supported by the oath of some
person or persons who had actual knowl-
edge Of the facts alleged. However, as
the charges made by Colonel Stiles were
made public in the press and were subject
to general comment in the territory Adj
Jutant-GeneraI Rosenbaum solved the
difficulty by himself requesting a court
OF inquiry, which was at once accorded
by the governor.

PAYS ITS DOCTOR BILL
STATE PAYS FOR TREATMENT OF
CRIPPLED CHILDREN

First Allowance for Medical Serv-
ices Made Under the Law Setting
Aside Sum of Money for the
Treatment of Deformed-Ten
Patients Looked After by the U
Medical Staff.
State Auditor Dunn yesterday audited the
first bill for the care of crippled and de-
formed children treated by the medical staff
of the state university.
The last legislature authorized the regents
of the state university to select hospital
where crippled and deformed children could
suitably be cared for while being treated by
the medical staff Of the state university. The
staff under the provisions Of the bill, receive
no extra remuneration for the treatment of
appropriation of $500 for the two ensuing
years to enable the regents TO carry out the
intention of the law.
The law sets $375 the price to be paid
weekly for the individual care Of these chill
dren. The bills presented and paid to the
city hospital yesterday were for the board of
ten boys and girls ranging from seven to
sixteen years of age, and in the aggregate
the time these children were cared for by
the state was eighty-seven weeks.
The bills audited yesterday showed the
first practical operation of the new law.
The ten children cared for by the state
since last fall at the city and county hos
pital were in only two cases continuously
To become eligible to the relief provided
for in the law the child must have resided
in this state for one year.
The law also provides for the care and
diseases which are apt to deform or cripple
them. In this way several children have been
successfully treated who might otherwise
have become crippled for life.
