ALL0TTERS WERE TENOERFEET
indian Attack in the Comanche
Country Thought to be Joke


Guthrie, o. T.. Sept. pa dispatch
from Fort Sill says: An Indian scare
has been in progress in the Commanche
reservation that has resulted in the com
plete cessation of alloting, the agents
and surveyors having made hasty exit
into Texas to escape what they thought
to be the wrath OF 800 Indian warriors
The agents were at work south of the
mountains endeavoring to locate corners
so as TO allot the land when their camp
was raided by persons whom they took
TO be Indians. Much shooting was in
dulged in, but it seemed 10 be all in the
air for no bullet came near the camp.
The camp was in a lonely spot and the
agents are all tanderfeet just out from
Washington. The promiscious shooting
was more than they could stand so they
pulled out toward the Texas line, the
only way left unguarded by their pur-
suens, judging from the firing. They
did not stop running until the ygot into
Texas. There they telegraphed to Fort
Sin and the commander Of the post sent
out several detachments of cavalry and
also small battery with instructions
to fire the cannon every hour. The SOL
diers are faithfully carrying out the in
structions and the cannon doomed for a
or two. 1t is the belief here that the
cowboys and mischievious young Indi-
ans played a cruel practical joke upon
the alloting agents. The Commanches
are very well satisfied with the terms
of the law opening the lands to settle
mept, and are in no mood to oppose
allotment with force

How Secretary Palmer and His
Friends Wet The Terrible Ordeal


Topeka, Kan, Sept. 20.-In answer to
the many Inquiries concerning the fate
of the Y. NJ. c. A. building at Galveston
and the welfare of Secretary Judson B.
Palmer and family, the following letter
from the state secretary of Texas. re-
ceived yesterday by the state secretary
of the Y. NJ. c. A. of Kansas, is pub
lished:
Il have just returned from Galveston
where I went to investigate the interests
of our associated work. At the request
Of Mr. Palmer I am sending letters 10 a
number of his friends. giving particulars
about the terrible disaster. Mr.. Palmer,
his wife and child, with fourteen friends
were in his home in p IL street. They
gathered there early Saturday afternoon.
They first had to move up stairs on ac-
count of the rising water and just be-
fore o'clock the water had risen to
their necks on the second floor Those
who could got up on the bath tub aud
held the children above their heads The
house fas going by sections, the front
part had already been swept away. Mr.
Palmer and his wife were standing on
the bath tub in the second story and
the water came up to their necks, He
held Lee above the water and the little
fellow, with his arms around his fathers
neck, asked him If they We're safe. Just
then the last part OF the house gave way
and they were all thrown into that ter
rible sea- Mrs. Palmer had her arms
around his neck when the house gave
way but instantly they were all sepa-
rated and every one in the house
drowned except Mr.. Palmer and another
gentleman. Mrs. Planners body was
found and recognized the next day by a
friend, and was buried at sea with many
thousands who were carried cut there.
If Lees body was ever found 1t was be
yond recognition.
''Mr Palmer was for five hours in that
terrible food. clinging TO some boards.
and was finally rescued by the Sisters
at the Catholic Convent. He was badly
bruised by coming in contact with the
food debris. but as far as can be seen
there is no internal injury. His clothes
were torn completely of. HIS mental
condition is now the most serious. but
we hope for the best in his case HIS
brother, from Sharon, Pa. is now with
him
II have seen many sad sights. but
never anything in any degree 20 equal
this awful calamity at Galveston. The
dead are lying over the island and float

and the city Is a wreck.
The association building was probably
injured to the extent Of from 5000 70
$500 II f. however. not beyond repair
Pray for these poor people About two
hours before Mr. Pslmer's house was
taken away. they all gathered II one
room and had prayer meeting. Seven
teen Of them were hudled together IN
one room and ". Palmer told me that
hs never saw q more calm crowd to-
gether upon any OCCASION The women
and children joined IN the prayers and
were perfectly ready 70 GO. knowing
that almost immediate death stood b.
fore them. Little Lees prayer was.

Washington Orders the Wich-

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY
Is Thus Raised and Lively
Times May Ensue.

Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 20.-Acting under
instructions from Attorney General
Griggs, United States Indian Agent Ran
dlett at Anadarko, has issued orders to
the Indian police TO clear the Kiowa and
Comanche reservation of prospectors
and miners who are at work in the Wich-
moved once before, but they afterwards
secured an injunction at Ell Reno re-
straining the agent from interfering with
them, on the ground that the act of June
declared the mining laws to be in effect
on the reservation from that date. Colo
mel Randlett has just received from
Washington a copy Of an opinion of the
attorney generals department, which
concludes as follows:
1.-The country is still an Indian reser-
walton and It is necessary to the por-
Torrance by the United States of the
obligations assumed in said agreement
that it should remain in the state of
reservation until those obligations shall
have been discharged by a full comph-
ance Herewith. It is still Indian country
and under the jurisdiction Of this depart
ment The removal of any person from
Indian country rests with the discretion
Of the Indian agent, and the commission
er Of Indian affairs, under the provisions
of the secretary Of the interior"
Colonel Randlett is virtually instructed
by the attorney general to disregard the
instructions Of the court, and there will
be some lively times on the reservation.
If the miners resist the police troops will
be sent from Fort Sill, as the department
is determined to keep everybody out I'M
til the day of the opening and give
everybody an equal show.

To Township Committeemen:-H is
highly important that you give close at
tention to the negro question in the Sc
lection of delegates to the county con-

You are aware of the fact that negroes

ant and reckless, they are noisy and IN
comfortable. You are aware Of the fact
that they have or are likely to have
candidates before the convention for the
offices Of register of deeds, county clerk,
and representative in the legislature.
and perhaps other positions.
The Offices above mentioned, as you
know. are thebest paid of any on the
ticket. The register of deeds gets a sal
airy from fees that amounts to the snug
sum of 81 SEQ to 5000 per year. County
clerks salary amounts to 81, $50 per year.
You must understand that such salaries
must not be turned over to negroes, and
it therefore becomes our duty TO see that
only white delegates are elected to the
county convention, men who will see
that negroes are kept in their place, and
not put forward for such high salaried
positions.
In townships where negroes have
majority Of the Republican vote see to
it that only the old men who are easily
managed are made delegates. Nye were
successful in keeping negroes off the del
egation that went to Enid and partial
successful in keeping them off the dele
cation that went to Guthrie and we
must succeed in keeping them out Of
the county convention.
Action in line with this circular is alb
solutely demanded as the negro vote in
this county has become so strong that
we can no longer depend upon convention
manipulation to control them, they must
be handled in the township and ward
primaries. It is now estimated that the
negro votes number no less than 700 or
500 in this county.
It is needless to remind you that this
circular and the suggestion herein con-
tanned must De kept strictly to yourself
and you must see to it that only whites
or safe colored men are chosen as dele
gates to the county convention. By

tried to walk off with it. One pretended
to be buying something and the other
proceeded to pick things up when she
thought no one was looking. Finally,
when they got ready to go, not having
been able to see anything they wanted
to buy, Fred Dawson and VIII Bowers
surrounded them, calling upon them to
disgorge. After much penitential weep
ing, they did so, and 3 worth, Of Bowers
were found in their possession. What
did Mr.. Bowers do? Did he call the po-
lice and send them to jail? Not much.
He made them pay for the goods they
so earnestly coveted, take them and hide
