SIDREEEEPER HELD UP
At a Country Trading Point
East of Perry.
70PBER COLLECTS $50
And Gets Away After Some
PrOmiscuOus Shooting,

Perry, o. T., July 13.-Another highway
robber held I'D man and wife by the
name of Wilson about ten miles east Of
this city last night about dark 1t seems
that Wilson, who runs a little country
store east OF here. was In his place of
business. counting his receipts for the
day. when he was aroused from his
pleasant reverie by the entrance OF q
young fellow with gun in his hand who
demanded the money. It was forthcom-
ing. After this the robber placed the
money, about $50, in his pocket, marched
Wilson and his wife in front of him into
the public highway in front Of his store.
quietly united his horse from the fence,
told Wilson that he would shoot him II
he made any outcry until the robber got
to the corner, then mounted his horse
and fed. Mrs. Wilson forgot the injunc-
ton or miscalculated the distance of the
robber and screamed too soon, where
upon the robber fired one shot at Wilson,
which struck the door near him, and then
fired two shots at the woman as she ran
screaming into the house. Wilson i'm
mediately pursued the robber on horse
back, but so far nothing has been heard
of Kim. He is said to have been riding a
blaze-faced roam horse of good size. This
vicinity was the scene of another bold
highway robbery on February 2. 1897.
for which the robber, Bum Rice, was
convicted and sent to the penitentiary at
the last term OF the district court for
term Of ten years.

REVOLUTION IS BEGUN
In Guatemala, According to a
Special News Despatch.
AMERICAN INTEREST IN IT
Largely to Prevent a Repeti-
ton of the Corinto Case.

San Francisco, July 12-The Evening
Post Is authority for the statement that
q cablegram was received here today
stating that the hrst attempt Of rebellion
in Guatemala against the administration
Of President Cabrera had been made and
had failed. The cipher dispatch sent to
gentleman in this city states that the up
rising occurred In Quesaltenango. The
government was advised, however, in
time to suppress the uprising and as a re-
suit Felic.ano Aguilar and sixty men were
arrested and are now in Jail. The dis
patch did not come from Quesaltenanso
but from a northern section Of Guatemala
and was carrid across the border into
Mexico to avoid the censor.
Washington, July 1A-The state depart
ment Is watching with anxiety the devel-
opments in Guatemala It Is premature
to say that the decision has been reached
to send the Philadelphia from San Fran
cisco down to that country. and 1t may be
that the presence Of the gunboat Vixen
on the east coast will pc regarded as snf-
ficient, for the present. But there are
hints of foreign action that might in
volve a repetition of the Corinto incident,
and in that case it probably would be
deemed necessary by our government TO
have a stronger naval representation at
the seat of trouble. 1t Is said at the state
department that he financial conditions in
Guatemala, with impending repudiation'
threaten severe loss to American citizens.
But so far our government has not con-
sented to take any joint action with Eng
land, Germany or any other nation, to
bring pressure to bear upon the disturbed
republic. It Is problematical what atti-
tude will be adopted by our government
in case an attempt should be made by
European governments 10 seize custom
houses in Guatemala to collect money
for bondholders. In the case OF the CO.
rinto landing, a question Of national honor
was involved, an indemnity having been
demanded by Great Britain for the ILL
treatment OF her consular officers. But
our government heretofore. and notably In
Mr.. Blaines time, has leaned to the belief
that the holders of government bonds,
being individuals, took their bonds sub
iect to the vicissitudes and chances Of re-
pudiation, the prices being regulated by
the risks incurred.
San francisco, July 13.-Felipe Galicla,
consul general of Guatemala In this city,
is very indignant at the reports OF revo-
luton and bankruptcy in Guatemala He
declares that there Is no truth In any or
the statements and that they have been
circulated by enemies Of the government
anxious to secure its overthrow. The re-
port that foreigners have been prosecuted
in Guatemala he declares unequivocaliy
false.

of having given Oklahoma one OF the best
telephone services of the west.

PERRY'S TAX LEVY MADE
rrIaI OF Councilman Meyer, COnvIc.
tiOB and Appeal.

Perry. o. T.. July 13.-Our city council
after several Intellectual attempts at get
ting together finally succeeded Monday
night in working In harmony long enough
TO make the tax levy for the ensuing
year. but 1t took two meetings and an
order Of the court before It was done.
The newly appointed member OF the
rity council, L. F. Meyer. was promptly
arrested on compalint made by the city
attorney at the hour the Democratic
members had been ordered by the court
10 meet and do business That was Mon
day morning. The charge against him
was falsely impersonating a member OF
the city council OF the city OF Perry.
Meyer promptly gave bond, but no sooner
was this done than another warrant was
Issued out of the probate court. on a
complaint made by c f Dennis, one Of
the Democratic members OF the CITY coun-
ell. charging the same offense. committed
1t another day. The officer. armed with
the second warrant. went 10 the council
shamber where the council was I'm ses-
sion and arrested Meyer and held him
there while the council was In session
The probate court promptly issued an
order for the officer TO bring the prisoner
INTO court and the officer refused, was
arrested, tried and found guilty, but the
officer insisted that he had two hours To
deliver the prisoner. and so he was re-
leased. The trial of Meyer was on be-
fore the probate judge this afternoon.
The territory undertook to prove that
Meyer knew that Shortman, the elected
councilman. was only away on a visit to
England. would return soon. and that
the action Of the mayor in declaring the
Office vacant was a most violent assump-
ton OF power. and very likely 10 tear our
city government asunder. etc. all OF
which the territory alleges Meyer ought

he should have consulted such authori-
ties as would have told him so. The case
having been commenced and the warrant
issued without the authority OF the coun-
" attorney, the probate judge held that
the county attorney had no business in
the prosecution. and so two good Demo
cratic lawyers. Martin and DISCS. prose
cuted for the territory. The defendant
was found guilty and sentenced to two
months In jail and to pay a fine OF SO.
