THE BOUNDS INJUNCTION SUIT
Defendants Must Produce Their Con
tracts With the Choctaws.

NIdNlS w Nttu NuONAdWSs
A special from South McAlester
says:
The Injunction proceedings
brought by the governors Of the
Chickasaw and Choctaw nations to
restrain Z. A. Bounds and others
from fencing lands alleged to be
the allotments of Mississippi Choc-
taws, is exciting much interest in
the Territory. As has been said,
Judge Clayton issued a temporary
restraining order yesterday.
In granting the injunction Judge
Clayton stated from the bench that
before considering the case further
he would require Bounds and
those operating with him to pro
duce before the court all powers of
attorney and contracts with alleged
Mississippi Choctaws, and affida-
Wits from them that none had been
destroyed; that those exhibited
were the only contracts taken by
them, and that, if it appears that
they had been taken with view OF
empowering white people to take
possession of and fence mp the
lands of the Choctaws and Chicka'
saws, and hold the same for term
of years, tor profit, or to reimburse
themselves for money expended, OF
to acquire a part of the land fol
such outlay, they would be de
clared void and the temporary in
junction made perpetual.
The operation of Bounds and as
sociates have aroused much inter
est in the Choctaw and Chickasav
nations, as it is the first open ef
fort to take physical possession o.
the lands Of the Cbickasaws anC
Choctaws under powers of attor
ney from alleged Mississippi Choc
taws, and the granting of the TEN
porary injunction is regarded as
decided victory for the Choctay
and Chickasaw nations.

The Denison Herald contains the
following interesting story:
Mrs. j. Y. Crank left for Kan
sas City yesterday to attend
meeting of the Lord Hume estate,
said to be valued at several mil
lion dollars. This estate, which
has been for many generations
strictly entailed, going to the eldest
son, has bv failure of such an heir,
reverted to the heirs of Lord
Hume's youngest brother. The
brother came to Virginia with
Lord Fairfax and became crown
suveyor. He died and was buried
at Culpepper Court House, Va. He
left large family. His grandson,
Hume, came to Texas at an early
day and settled in this county.
Before the war he was one of the
wealthiest slave owners in North
Texas. He died in 1874 at his
plantation at Preston Bend. He
left four children, Mrs. Walter
Colbert of Ardmore, l. T.. Robert
Hume, who lives about two miles
from Helen, (. T.; Charles Il.
Hume of FL Paso, Tex, and Vir
ginia, now the wife of j. T. Crank.
There are other heirs in Texas,
descended from the brother of Al
fred Hume. Major Charles Hume,
the we'll known lawyer of Calves
ton, is one of them. In Virginia
there are a number of heirs, and
by intermarriage the names of
Governor Kemper, General Banks
and the Proctors of Culpepper
Court House appear in the list.
Missouri has quite a number Of
heirs and these have employed ex
Governor Stone to act as their at
attorney. Major Hume of Calves
ton will represent the Texas heirs.
So far oyer 130 heirs have been
discovered. One of these is lady
living at Las Vegas, \. NJ, who
has in her possession the family
tree of the Hume family, which
will be interesting and Of inesti-
mable value in proving the desc mt
and branches of the family.
Mrs. Crank reached Kansas
City this morning and will be pres
ent at the meeting of the heirs.
She knows very little OF the pres
ent status of the estate, it having
never been an expectancy OF her
branch of the Hume family. AS
yet the heirs have only the assur.
ances of some lawyers as to the
value Of the property. However.

days combat was the blooditst of all
At an early hour this morning, per-
haps 80 o'clock, several shots were
fired on the engine house OF the
Providence company. 1t was but a
few minutes until the stables of the
company were surrounded by union
men, who commenced the destruction
of animal flesh. The fine saddle horse
of Manager Walter Nisbet, of the
mine, son of W. A. Nisbet, owner of
! the property, was in the stable. Their
| first act was to shoot and kill TIE
animal. Then a mule was killed and
| five other animals shot in the body,
and rendered useless. By this time
the force of guards were astir at the
mines.
The attacking party, seventy five
or eighty strong, led by man in a
soldier s uniform, seemed to have
formed over the brow of a hill in a
semi circle as before From here they
directed we'll directed fire upon the
homes of the non. union employees,
where over half hundred men were
peacefully sleeping with their families.
The miners heard the reports, followed
by crash of bullets passing through
their homes. They came thick and
fast. Many of the miners dropped tC
their floors while others rushed with
Winchester rifles and other guns in
hand to small piles of timber, arranged
to be used upon just such an occasion.
Behind these Notifications the miners
knelt and returned the fire Of the
strikers assisting the guards in hold
ing the property. The battle ragged tC
almost an hour and half, according
to the best information obtainable.
Towards the close it was found thai
three of the nine guards had been shot
The leader of the mob was shot dowr

Taylor fell.
The police were promptly notified of
the shooting, and officers Butts, Chat

was carried to the police station in the

Won by Score of11 to GA Hard
Fought Contest, Witnessed by a
Large Crowd.
Rah! Rah ! Rah -

"Rahl Rah Rahp -
The atmosphere in the vicinity of
South Side Park Friday afternoon
was filled with the lusty yells of the
school boys, and there was such an
indiscriminate interminghng of arms
and legs, and such a scuffling, and
tugging, and pushing, and tackling,
that would have done credit to pro-
fessionals And out of it all the colors
of Morgan q Peoples bullies-g gold
and black-were brought victorious
over the purple and white, Branham
q Hughes colors.
1t was ardfought contest-a battle
royal From the moment the Fayette-
vile boys "kicked off and sent the
pigskin flying across the field, to the
time call at the end of the second half
which ended the game, it was an ex-
citing struggle.
But the victors had no easy time of
it, by any means. The Spring Hill
boys did good playing, and fought
manfully. Twice did they get the ball
within few feet of the coveted goal,
and twice dia they lose it and were
beaten back. Twice did they push
across the field, foot by foot, and yard
by yard, until the goal seemed almost
within their grasp, but there the Fay
etteville boys stuck and ''stuck'
hard And not only did they stick, -
but each time they managed to regain
possession of the ball and carry it
safely back to the other goal.
In the first half Thornton, for Fay
etteville, made touch down, but
Gill missed the goal. This gave Nor
gan & Peoples score of five, and the
result was received with vociferous
yells from the wearers of the gold
and black, who lined one side of the
field.
In the second half r. E. Baldwin
scored another touch down for the Nor
gan & Peoples, and D. Thornton sent
the ball whizzing over the goal-run
ming their score up to eleven. Ther
the Fayetteville rooters uncorked theil
enthusiasm again and rent the ali
with their applause.
The game was witnessed by severa
hundred persons, and the affair was 1
success financially. The weather wa
ideal for the scutfie, and there wer
no unpleasant features to mar th
game. There were the usual numbe
} of bloody noses, scratched countenances
bruised limbs, etc but all that wa
sin the game. "
