OPENING TERRITORY BY LOT.
Measures Adopted OF Prevent Rushing
Or. the Oklahoma Plan.

The ~disgraceful scenes attendant
upon the throwing open of Indian re-
servations are not to be repeated in
the case of the Kiowa, Comanche,
Apache and Wichita reservations,
in Oklahoma territory, says the Balti-
more. American. These tracts, COM
prising $4,000 homesteads, orr, $4,000
acres, will be opened about August 1.
Binger Herman, commissioner of
the land office, is determined that the
old. plan of permitting prospective
settlers to camp along the border
lines, and then, at a given signal, to
rush in pellmell, shall not prevail on
this occasion. AS Secretary Hitch
cock agrees with the commissioner,
the old-time ''rustlers' rush." with it's
disorder, indignities, consequent liti-
cation and other attendant evils is
likely to be a thing of the past. This
is as it should be, especially as other
and more satisfactory plans are avail
able for adoption. By these other
plans all of the confusion, all ofthe dis
grace and much of the disappointment
of opening new territory may be easily
avoided.
The public land laws of the United
States do not recognize any lottery
schemes in connection with the allot-
ment Of public lands. Nevertheless.
the system of deciding mooted ques-
tons by lot is generally in vogue in
this country. All our juries are drawn
in this manner, and its eminent wis
dom and fairness are not disputed.
The members of the house of repre-
%sentatives select their seats by lot,
and in the partition of estates it is
frequently employed by the courts.
There is, therefore, sufficient prece-
dent for its adoption in connection
with the opening, OF this new territory.
There will probably be $4,000 appli-
cations for the $4,000 homesteads
available for presumption. Nothing
could be faires than,.to require each
applicant to file his preliminary pa
pers, and then publicly hold a drawing
to determine the ones to be recogniz.
ed. These latter could, after assign
ments were made them, file the other
papers nessary to perfect their titles
and on the day of the opening al

TOWNS STRANGE DANGER.
Pennsylvania Mining Camp Threat
,.." ened by Landslide.

Pittsburg, April A9.-Newton, a
mining town containing about 100
houses, neal turtle Creek, Pa, inhab-
tied largely by foreigners and negroes,
is threatened with destruction by a
landslide. The town is located on the
brow of a steep hill overhanging the
Pittsburg and Cleveland uas and Coal
company's railroad. The rains of last
night and today have weakened the
treacherous soil under the houses, and
as there is no rock foundation under
them, they are liable to go down at
any time. .

Peculiar Case Of Suspended Animation
Followed BY Death.

Huntsville, Ala, April 2O.-There
great excitement in Dallas,
this state, today, while the funeral of
Mrs. Franz NARROW was being con-
Quoted. Suddenly those in attendance
were Mortified to see the corpse. which
was lying in plain view of the many
mourners, give a gasp and show every
sign Of returning life. The body be-
came warm and her pulse began to
beat feebly. Physicians were hurriedly
summoned, out the woman died in an
hour, and the funeral was continued.
The physicians say in their report
of the peculiar case that Mrs. Mar
low was in a trance, but that death
came at the time mentioneu.

others could be refused admission to
the reservation. In this way there
would be no danger of the courts de-
claring null and void the process, all
disorder and litigation would be pre-
vented, and would not be a
horde of people disappointed by being
out distanced in the 'rustlers' race"
The plan is feasible, and should be
adopted whenever in THE future new
territory is to be opened for settle
ment.

DeWolfe was out around town this
forenoon accompanied by Deputy
Joslyn endeavoring to secure bonds
men, but did not meet with any sue
cess and he was taken back to the
county Jail. Mr.. DeWolfe stated to a
Leader representative this morning
tnat he knew that he was wanted in
