Drew Knife on a Reporter.

Ex-Governor Will j. Stone, of
Missouri, has got into trouble with a
newspaper reporter. The latter
when he told his story today, show
ed several cuts in his shirt bosom,
which he said was made by the ex-
Governors knife, and also the swell
ing on his body, where he was kick
ed, He says he will swear out a
warrant against ex-Gov. Stone, and
that he will also bring civil action
for damages. The young man sub
mitted to medical examination after
the affray, and thinks he may be
threatened with a rupture. The
shock to his nervous system. how
ever, is regarded as his principal in
jury.

COTTON CROP LOST.
The Loss In Texas Is Now Estimated
at Eight Million Dollars.


Austin, Tex, July Am some To-
calities of the flooded districts OF
Texas, the situation is improving,
though another terrific rainfall is re-
ported to have occurred between
Hearne and Hampstead
The Brazos river is falling along
it's upper course, but continues rising
slowly and inunadating additional
territory near the gulf.
All hope of saving the flooded cot
ton has now passed, owing to the
long period that the crop has been
under water. Prominent cot
ton buyers, who are familiar with
the yield and productiveness of the
flooded region, estimate that not less
than SOC, 900 prospective bales have
been lost. If this statement is any
where near correct, the monetary
loss from this source alone is fully
ss, 900, 900.
Reports that are beginning to come
in from the several counties in the
flooded region bear out this estimate.
There are % counties in the sub
merged district, and estimated loss
of cotton yield in each county is from
Is, 900 to 3d. bales. II the water
subsidies in time there will be some
replanting done.

Echo of testers kidnapping.

Oklahoma City, July 4.-Sheriff
Simmons yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a telegram from j. w. Gates
at Chicago, which stated that Jester
had been lodged in Jail at Mexico,
Mo-, and that letter was on the
train with check for him for the
services he had given in the aid of
the capture of Jester. Naturally
Simmons was somewhat surprised
He was in q quandary yesterday
whether or not he would get any
thing for his work, but was firm in
the thought that Gates would treat
him right in the matter. 1t is as yet
undecided whom the reward will be
given to. Gates seems to be willing
to spend mint of money to get Jes-
ter convicted. He has been lavish
in his expenditure of money both
with the railroads and officers. and
it is charged in Oklahoma that the
use of money with the latter secured
TESTERS release without an order
from court.

and two unknown men from Lincoln,
farm hands, were found dead in the

San Francisco, Cal, July 4.-The

six members of the territorial

follow. The policemen thus relieved
from duty are old and efficient Of
ficers with an honorable service re-
cord behind them. The vacancies
will be filed at once with new ap-
pointees and there is no lack of ap-
plicants for places. The men who

ter; Mark Bean of Evansville, Ark. :;
Bert Cobb of Muskogee; c. W.
Plummer of Wapanucka; Frank
Smith of Braggs; Thomas Flint of

Indian Agent Schoenfeldt says:
THE reason for the change lies in
the fact that there are certain locali-
ties insufficiently policed, and others
that have more officers than are ne
cessary. 1t Is to more evenly distri-
butte the force that changes are be-
ing made"
The force numbers % men, having

it is very likely that the removals

THE CITIZENS PROTEST.
Townsite Commissioner Johnson Ignores
the Wishes of the People at Colbert.


the Wishes of the People at Colbert
COLBERT, G. MI
June %, 1899.
To the Hon. Secretary of the Inte-
rior, Washington, D. @.
Dear Sir-Some weeks ago at the
request of Mr.. Samuel John5on, town
site commissioner, our citizens called
a mass meeting for the purpose of
ascertaining the wishes relative to the
laying out of the town. We reduced
them to writing and handed the same
to Mr. Johnson, who claims to have
forwarded it to you, saying that you
had made reply thereto.
The plat that the commissioner is
now making for your consideration
totally ignores every wish that we
made manifest in our communica-
ton, and it forcibly occurs to US that
your commissioner should have at
least notified us that our wishes
would be given no recognition by
him.
Our colored citizens now occupy
land east of the depot, and ask to
have that part of the town surveyed
so as to preserve their settlement.
You will note that this has not been
done. This section of the country
requires such separate settlements,
and their wishes should be given
vour consideration
We seriously object to the 50x14O
feet lots your commissioner has
plated out for us; such lots are
suitable in metropolitan points, but
are not at all suitable for smaller
towns. We feel that we should
have at least one acre for resident
lots; thousands of acres of unculti-
waited land surround US, hence our
request to not pen US up in pigeon
holes as shown on his plat. We are
the people who hope to make our
homes here; who are willing and ex-
pect to pay for the land we cover,
and we feel that our wishes merit
your consideration.
We also note that your commits
sioner recognizes right of way of
1000 feet for the NJ K. & r. railroad /;
this will cause, without single ex-
ception, every business house in the
town to be moved, also our hotel,
one church, one school house and
many residences.
In plating so many streets and al
leys you will notice that it will cause
one church and many residences to
be in the highways. 1t appears to
US that the main object of your COM
missioner is to create a pretty, uni
form map that can only exist on pa
per.
We trust you will give our former
communication your consideration at
an early date, and favor US with a
reply so we can communicate the
same to our citizens.

Prisoners Still at Large.

Denton, Tex, July 4.-Sheriff Haw
kins is in the Territory after Hughes
and Wilkerson, the escaped prison
ers, who are reported to have been
seen near Thackerville yesterday.
Nothing further has been heard here.
The Hillsboro dispatch In the News
today is discredited by the officers
here, at least as to the captured man
being Hughes, as the latter does not
use any foreign language, speaking
English perfectly, and, besides, they
feel confident from what they know,
that both Hughes and WiIkerson are
gone in another direction.
A report from Clear creek, north
of town, reached here last night that
a man answering to the description
of Hughes had been seen by several
persons in that neighborhood, and
Constable Durbin and Deputies Tay-
lor and Kelso hurried out to investi-
gate. The description the persons
who had seen the suspect gave to the
officers, however, differed in all ma
ior respects from that of Hughes,
and the officers returned.

Pardon Came Too Late.

One of the pathetic incidents often
concealed in musty official docu-
ments came to light yesterday in the
attorney generals office.
Charles Littlebear was convicted
in the Indian Territory in 1898 of
stealing a horse, and was sentenced
to five years and two months in the
Ohio penitentiary. In the cold prison
cells he contracted consumption. An
application was made for his pardon
and the president looked over the
papers and signed them Tuesday af-
ternoon. The prison authorities
were telegraphed by the officials of
the department of Justice, but an
swered that Littlebear died Monday
night.
