Nickel Plate and Fries we're again buoy
ant The expectation is that there will be a
dividend for the second Nickel Plate pre-
ferred and that the first preferred will be
exchanged for a bond issue, thus placing
the second preferred IN the position of
first preferred The talk of dividend for
Erie first preferred is persistent and the
entrance of J. ]. Hill into the directory
is considered a most Important matter.

IF the statements of Sergeant whar-
ton Golden Of the Taylor militia are
true. and IL Is unreasonable to infer
the contrary when II is known that be
was one of Taylor's right hand men,
brought from the mountain country
to over awe the opposition to his
chief, Il uncovers one of the most viii
lainous conspiracies TO murder by the
wholesale ever exposed in this coun-
try. The witness declares under oath
thai one OF the purposes Of bringing
the mountain duelists to Frankfort
was to enter the legislative hall while
that body was In session and murder
enough Democratic members in their
seats to give the Republicans ma
Jority in either house. This whole
sale murder of the Democratic mem
bers OF the Kentucky legislature was
only to take place in case the legisla-
ture attempted to nEseat Taylor The
story Of this witness is most remark
able one, and IL borne out by that
which is TO follow, as IL must be II
true, the whole. Taylor gang will be
found to either have been participants
In the conspiracy to murder Gov. Goe-
bel or had guilty knowledge Of the
fact.

TROUBLE
Bound TO Arise Over Decision
in strip Land Cases.

Perry, o. t. March so--The news of
the United States supreme court deci.
sions In Oklahoma land cases, received
here yesterday, has been the cause Of
great excitement and has laid the
foundation for endless litigation In
the matter Of contests against lands
in the best part Of the Cherokee out
let:
The United States supreme court re-
versed the territorial court in the cele-
brated land cases Of Black vs.. jackson
and Potts We Holland, and the local
laud Office has been flooded, ever
since the telegram came, with parties
who are fling contests against settle ers
in the Cherokee outlet who made the
run from the Chilocco or Usage reser-
vations.
II is thought here that the contests
will not hold good and that the deci-
stoned mentioned will not hold per-
SON who made the run TO the reservA-
tion disqualified to make entry of land
or touch upon that question at all.
Nevertheless, contests continue to
pour in BY mail aud otherwise, seven
ty-three have been filed In the local
land office during the Office hours of
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Arkansas City. Kas.. Marck aO-The
residents Of Kay county, the Hrst
county south OF Kansas In Oklahoma,
are excited over the decision of the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the tmAtter Of the Chilocco
runners. The decision is to the
effect that the people who made the
race at the opening of the Cherokee
strip in 1893 from the south line of the
chilocco Indian reservation are not
entitled to their land. The reserva-
ton Is four miles wide, and gave that
much advantage TO those who made
the run from that line instead of the
boundary line Of Kansas. The deci-
sion will affect about 700 land holders.
A large number of these hold farms
and the rest hold town lots in New
kirk. The matter has been the sub
ject of much litigation aud contests
on these grounds were many.

Houston people are making elaborate

business organization one delegate,
with an additional delegate for every

appoints one delegate.
Oklahoma should send q strong DEL
cation to Houston and get the con-
gress interested in statehood and free
homes, Subjects for discussion takes
in anything whict rs not of political
or local nature, and free homes and
statehood would come under that
head, Every delegate from Oklahoma
should be furnished badge for free
homes and statehood.

City, was chosen at the Wichita meet
ing as vice-president of the association
for Oklahoma, and he may be address
