was not because they were not unearth-
ing good samples of ore and developing
splendid prospects, but because the de-
partment Of the interior construed the
law to not mean that the mineral lands
were open. There was a clause in the
bill stating that the mineral laws Of the
United tSates should apply from the pas
sage Of the act, and hundreds Of pros
pectors rushed in under the impression
that they would not be molested. But
the department decided to eject them, by
force necessary, and a notice was pub
hshed giving them until the 10th OF the
present month TO leave the reservation.
When the 10th came they had most all
gone and the Indian police had no trouble

ervstion. It Is not known when the min
eral land viii be open under the law as
construed by the secretary Of the inter
Tor, but he has promised that ample no

ONE WHO KNEW ADLAIE.
II. Il. Forrest of FL LenO on Bryan's
Side Partner

Guthrie, O. T., July 16.-R. B. Forrest
of Ell Reno used to practice law with
Adlai Stevenson. Forrest says in the Ell
Reno Globe:
Logan county, my old home in ILL.,
nois. is one OF the counties OF the old
Thirteenth congressional district In that
state, which was Mr. Stevenson's district
when he ran for congress. I had the
honor of being a delegate to each one OF
the congressional conventions which
placed him in nomination for that Office.
He ran first in 1874, and in each success
sive campaign for ten years, his last
campaign being in 1852. The district was
very strongly Republican, but General
Stevenson was elected in 1874. in his first
campaign. and again elected in 1880. the
last being the presidential campaign be-
tween Garfield and Hancock
ST was secretary Of the first conven-
ton which nominated him.. held at Lin
coin in August, 1874. Mr.. Stevenson was
not only in each one Of his campaigns
for congress the Democratic candidate
but the Greenback party, which then had
an orga nization in the state Of Illinois.
and especially in the Thirteenth congress
slonal district During each OF his cam
paisns, h was also nominated by the
Greenback party, on account OF his fnan-
cial views.
During two OF his campaigns I per-
sonally canvassed Logan county with Mr.
Stevenson, riding with him on each occa-
sion. from Monday morning until Sat
urday night visiting the people and max
ing speeches. In MS campaign Of 1880. I
was at the same time candidate for
states attorney. and we canyassed the
county that year together.

REV. JAMES AT HIS HOME
viii Say Nothing About His Schemes
or Ills FIXTURE Plans.

Oklahoma City, o. T, July 16.-The dis
patche sin regard to the return OF Rev.
James have caused intense surprise here
and only few maintain that Metho-
dist university will be established here.
In a private letter from Mcpherson,
where Rev. James now is, the following
additional information about the strange
case is given:
Rev Thomas H. James, the missing
heir to millions, is home He arrived last
night on the Santa Fe train and was at
once taken to the home of his wife's sis
ter, Mrs. Avery None but the family
knew that he was coming, and they
scarcely believed it, though they had re-
ceived letter purporting to come from
him and which he says he wrote at
Cleveland, Ohio, on the way back. When
seen by a reporter this morning he at
first refused to say any thing about him
self, being very much incensed at the
many fictions printed about him"
His trip TO England was without in
cident, except that he enjoyed the COM
pany Of the man whom the newspapers
called a bogus preacher from San Fran
cisco. He denies absolutely that this
man was a fraud. When he arrived in
England he was taken violently i'll with
an attack Of pneumonia and had to go
to a hospital, where he was for three
weeks. During that time he was so Ill
that he could not write. He was afraid
that his family would worry if they re-
ceived word from any one but himself.
After he recovered he at once began the
return trip, arriving at New York on the
Ocanic July l. He had business at Cleve-
land, Ohio, and stopped there for a few
days. From there he wrote to his wife,
but the writing was so unlike his that
she did not believe that he had written II.
What happened to him while in England
or what he succeeded in doing toward Sc
curing HE millions, he will not tell. He
says he has no other statement to make
than that he has returned and is fast
getting we'll When the time comes. he
said, he will let his friends know what he
accomplished, but he would make no
statement to the public. He intimated
however, that there was some difficulty
regarding the title of his wealth. Since
his return he has talked to a great many
people and all sorts of stories have been
circulated as a consequence. How much
truth or fiction there is in them can not
be known until he may decide to make
some statement. This much. however
seems certain. He has not succeeded in
getting the money he went after and he
may never get 1t. Mr. James spends
mcst Of his time lying in bed. being as
yet too weak to move around much. He
is depressed and is heartily sick of the
whole matter. He said TO a friend that
he did not care what became OF the
whole matter and when be got out of the
hospital he was so anxious to get home
that he would not bother himself further
about 1t.
