Additional notices whrning the ne
grocs of Sepulpa to leave town this af-
ternoon were posted last night, and to-
day nearly all blacks not employed or

taking up the fight against the ne
groes, and it is said that cowboys and
horsemen will help drive them out of
Sapula.
The desire to run all negroes from
territory towns started at Sapulpa has
spread to Stroud. and n mob of gam
blers and toughs has driven all the
blacks from town. In addition, they
tore down the houses of two negroes

The trouble started when negro tried
to stab white man. The marshal has
not interfered so far.

assessments. In the petition filed yes
tertlay upon which the injunctiye writ
was issued the conStitutionallty OF the
State Board of Assessors Is assailed
1t is contended in the petition that the
Legislature had no right to remove
from the county assessor ana the State
Board of Equalization in particular any
authority they have heretofore eXer-
cised. Further it is contended that the
creation of the board of thirteen assess
ors is revolutionary in mannerand is be-
sides n delegation of powers which the
Legislature has no authority to make.
The writ issued by order of Judge
Dixon is directed to the thirteen mem-
bers of the State Board of, Assessors,
as follows: S. ii. Alexander, NJ. j.
Layden, George n. Lysight, j. a. Web
ber. A. j. Hogan, Il. III. Stevens, Hugh

committee, James b. Grant of Denver.
Mr.. Grant recalled the prophecy Sid
ney Smith made of this country half Il
century ago, declaring that after the
first few generations which the Ameri-
can people would spend in developing
the natural resources of the land, in
reclaiming its wild wastes so cultiva-
ton and production, and developing its
material industries of commerce and
manufacture. the people would turn
back to the old homesteads and devote
an ever increasing portion of their
time to their intellectual development,
and that this would then become n
rrpat and mighty nation. To the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science he thought especial thanks
ought to be given for its doing all in
its power to bring about the fuliillment
of this happy prophecy.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 81 Denver
News Special)-The railroads of the
state yesterday afternoon secured from
Judge n. Walter Dixon of the District
Court an injunction to prevent the
State Board of Assessors from proceed
ing further with the assessment of
railroad property under the provisions
of the revenue bill.
Two weeks ago application was made
by the railroads to Judge Dixon for
restraining order against the State
Board of Assessors, but the application
was denied. The petitioners at that
time set forth merely the lllegality of
the passage which had been alleged in
the mandamus proceedings against the
State Board of Equalization. At that
time Judge Dixon stated his view to be
that the best interests of the state
would be subserved by both the State
Board of Assessors and the State
Board of Equalization proceeding with

THE EFFECT OF JUDGE
DIXON'S INJUNCTION

= Denver Aug. 2S.--The morning pa
pers discuss the probable effect of
Judge Dixon's last Injunction. The
News says: {
.scontempt ; proceedings against
Judge Dixon Of the District Court of
Pueblo may be an outgrowth of his Is
suance on Monday afternoon of an in
junction to prevent the State Board of
Assessors from proceeding with the as
sessment Of railroad property under
the provisions of the revenue bill.
This is possible in two ways. At
torney General Post may ask the Su-
preme Court to cite the district judge
before it on that charge, and the
judges of the Supreme Court may take
the matter up themselves.
"The opinion was expressed in legal
circles that the action of Judge Dixon
in granting the injunction was, while
possibly technically proper, little short
of legal discourtesy, which the judges
of the Supreme Court might consider
grave enough to warrant them citing
Judge Dixon to appear before them and
make a personal statement.
THE possibility of the contempt pro-
ceedings would grow out of the fact,
that when the Supreme Court issued
the writ of supersedeas some days ago,
setting aside the mandamus of Judge
Dixon, compelling the State Board of
Equalization to act in the matter of
assessing the corporate property of the
state and extending it's figures re-
gardless of the State Board of AS
SCISSORS, the Supreme Court sought to
hold the legality of the revenue bill in
allegiance pending review by that tri-
bunal.
THE action brought Monday at Pu-
eblo was in the nature OF a new suit,
directed against the State Board OF
Assessors, but the questions involved
in the first suit are involved in the
second, the legality of the revenue bill.
In the complaint of the second suit.
the first three pages of the complaint
in the first action are used.'
The Republican comments as fol-
lows:
Attorney General Post yesterday
admitted that unless the injunction
granted by Judge Dixon on behalf of
the twenty railroads and other corpor-
ations restraining the Board of Asses
sors from proceeding to fix the valua-
tion of taxable property of the corpor-
ations of this state, is dissolved, the
corporations will have virtually won
their battle. and the appeal now
pending in the Supreme Court on the
constitutionality of the revenue bill
is useless because the State Board of
Equalization acting under the old law
as was required by the writ of man.
damus of Judge Dixon previously
granted, but set aside by supersedeas
will be forced to fix the valuation of
corporate properly if the state is TO
have any revenue this year.

Three-fourths of the entire area of
Norway is not capable of cultivation.
Deductlng the forests, not more than
three or four per cent. of the total ter

land. while in Denmark seventy-slX
per cent. of the area Is under cultiva-
ton, in France seventy per cent, and
the total for Europe Is forty per cent.
In Norway, nevertheless. 1890 per

towns. The average city population
for all Europe Is thiry-threc per cent.

The French government holds that
the Sultan has broken his word. He

but at the end of last week declined to
pay the full amount and offered re

Constans had left Therapia on board

was to take the Orient express.
A court chamberlain arrived at
Stamboul in post haste from the Sui

Therapia and promising that every
thing would be satisfactorily settled.
NJ. Constans declined TO return. declar-

that it was for the Sultan to iilfill his
