of taking to the Usage pasture the

be better than the Kiowa pasture
land, where it has been proposed to
take the cattle and where it is said
there is not sufficient room to allow
the pasturage demands.
Assistant Attorney General Van
deventer pointed out that, despite
reports to the contrary, there is no
reason able probability of speculation
in connection with soldiers entries for
the lands. He said that the only ad-
vantage the soldier has is that the
privilege Of making his aiiidavits any
where and mailing them. All other
claimants are required to be on The

Alfalfa Alone.

Topeka, July 15.-Reports received
here indicate that in no county in the
state are the crops damaged less than

counties report almost Il total loss of
the corn crop. Alfalfa is about the
only product that is standing the dry
period well. 1t is generally conceded
that this is the worst drought since

TO LYNCH THREE NEGROES.
Try to Get Them Out of The Kan
sas City Jail.
MOB MAY HAVE SUCCEEDED.

Kansas City, July l5.--A crowd OF
$500 excited men and boys surrounded
the county Jail in this city clamoring
for vengeance against three negroes
who criminally assaulted Miss Grace
Davis in populous neighborhood.
Eight suspects, two OF whom have
been identified are held at the Jail, 1t
is thought that Marshal Maxwell and
his deputies will be able TO protect the
prisoners. The mob was joined by a
large number of men from the excur-
sion steamers.
The crime which has incensed the
citizens of this city is one of the most
daring outrages ever perpetrated here.
Miss Davis and lcr escort, Newton,
were walking home after having spent
the evening at Troost Park
The three negroes sprang upon them
from behind. Newton was knocked
senseless and Miss Davis was dragged
four hundred feet into private park
and assaulted. When she recovered
consciousness her escort was still in
sensible They are both in criti-
cal condition. The crowd was largely
of the rough element, such as gathers
for trouble of any sort, but dozens of
influential citizens urged the people to
go home, The negroes still in Jail are
the two who have been identified
Joseph Roberts and Frank Holland.
There is deep feeling over the outrage
among all classes of the community
Five hundred men in squads of rs,
are raiding the negro quarter in the
north end, chasing and beating ne
groes and smashing windows.

Santa Fa Extensiona.

Topeka, July 15.-Engineers went
through to Oklahoma to begin survey
ing for some important Santa Fe ex.
tensions. 1t is believed here that the
Co.is figuring on getting line into the
Apache and Comanche lands, and that
in all there will be more that 200 miles
of new road built, perhaps nearly
double that. A northern extension of
so miles from Pawnee would connect
tie terminus at Cedarvale. An eastern
extension of so miles would make a
like connection at Owasso, |. T. Tie
extension southward is to pass through

ritory.

Ask Tax Reduction.

Topeka. Kas., July 1.-THE Kansas
drouth is having some effect on the
assessment question. The state board
of equalization has begun its work of
equalizing the assessment between
counties. 1t will take several days to
finish it. Probably one-third of the
counties in the state are asking for a
reduction on the ground that the
drouth has practically killed number
of crops since the local assessors made
their returns. These counties will be
given hearings before the board.

York, Pa, July 15.-Judde Stewart

ing with men who were at work,
which was contrary to court order.
Judge Stewart said that manufac-
turing company sis entitled to employ
whom it chooses upon such terms as
they and it may see fit to agree upon.
Workmen have the right to contract
with and work for whom they please
upon such terms and conditions and
for such pay as they may be willing
to accept. They are rights which can
not be questioned or denied. They
exist in the very nature of things and
are written in the constitution of the
state. and any person who undertakes
by force, menaces, or threats, direct or
indirect, though cloaked in the softest
language, to violate or interrupt them,
is guilty of wrong, and such conduct
will be, and must be restrained by the
courts.

HEAVY LOSS AT ENID.
Water Gave Out And $4,000 Loss
Resulted,

Enid, July IA fire started about
midnight and burned late into yester-
day morning. The water from the
now waterworlss gave out early and
the use OF buckets was the only means
of battling with the flames. Dyna-
mite was used freely to blow up build
ings to stop the progress of the conna-
grafton. All of the south side of the
square was swept over by the destroy
ing element; including two hotels,
restaurants, n hardware store, the
Enid buggy company's building, with
everything in it. The fire jumped
the street and reduced the Odd Eel
lows hall to ashes, butcher shop,
also furniture store; next come the
opera building which was destroyed,
together with Wholesale feed house
and contents, the st. Joseph hotel and
the Montezuma. The Ceuter produce
building and store.
Correspondents agree in an estimate
of the loss, placing it at near 5000, 900,
of which two firms sustained nearly
one half, viz: Geusman's hardware
store $4,000 and Randall & Grub's
stock and building, $50, 900.

Wichita, July 1.-The Santa FC
will put on a semi-weelsly stock train
for the accommodation of the shippers
in Oklahoma. The trains will leave
Purcell on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings and arrive here next morning,
thus shippers will not have to ship
their stock during the heat of the day
and they will get here in time for the
opening of the market This is a
great boon for the shippers in olSlaho-
ma as they have lost heavily on their
stock dying wien shipped during the
hottest part of the day.

KnIgbts of Pythias rrouble.

Chicago, July 15.-The supreme
lodge Knights of Pythias decided that
the most expedient way of meeting the
deficiency of $500, 200 was to raise the
insurance rate to the maximum de-
scribed by the national fraternal con-
gress. If, in this way, money is not
quickly enough forthcoming it is like
ly that special assessment OF so cents
will be put on every member of the
order for the benefit of the endowment
rank. This latter move would speedily
raise s25O, 200.
