We met with no difficulty in getting
on board the boat. While ou the way
across policeman asked me where |

the Old Battery. He wanted to know
how | was going. "By way of Fulton
Street and Broadway, or by Water
Street, | replied. alt is much nearer
by Water Street and | think of going
that way. "Well' said he, "you do
as you please, but if | were in your
place, | should go up Fulton to Broad

thank you for your kind advice, but we
are going by way of Water Street

any street buns undertake to stop us,
someone will get hurt, and further, if an
attempt should be made to take our
prisoner from us, we shall protect him
as long as we can, but he will not be in
good health when he passes from our
care. Next, we shall form little skir-
mish line right here in this village
which will be an unhealthy proposition

with, for each of my men have twenty
rounds of cartridges for their Sharp's
Rifles, and they know how to use them,

going down Water Street, and if you
have the time to spare, and wish to see
some fun, you had better come along.
On reaching the New York shore We
Immediately set out on our way down
Water Street. We had not gone far
when we were almost surrounded by a
big crowd, but they didn't undertake to
stop us, though several times we heard
them say, "Let's take him away from

our prisoner, "Poor fellow, he may not
be alive in two minutes from now, and
it will smell like burnt wool around
here. But the crowd suffered us to
pass on our way unmolested and we
soon arrived at Old Battery.
The commanding officer of the camp
provided us with suitable room in
which to confne our prisoner, and after
seeing him properly located and my
men provided with good quarters and
good rations, accepted the kind Offer
of the commander to share his quarters
and be his guest while in camp. We
settled down to enjoy the time as bes

BUSY WEEK
CONFR0NTS
LEGISLATORS
PROSPECTS FOR FINAL
DISPOSAL OF SHERIFFS'
FEE BILL
snecIal 10 the paIly Leader.


Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 23.-Two
Of the big questions which will come
before the present legislature have
been under consideration during the
past week and have been disposed OF
by the houses in which they origl-
mated, the prohibition bin In the
house and the bank bill in the senate.
The field OF action for the two bills
will be transferred to the opposite
houses during the coming week, al
though there Ia some question as to
whether either bill will reach final
consideration during the present week,
as there are a number of questions
which will have TO he threshed out
before committees.
There is a good prospect of the final
disposition OF the sherlff's fee bill,
the first measure to be passed upon
by the lower house, as the amend
ments which are to be made to the
lii by the senate have been prac'
tically agreed upon, and there will
be apparently little difficulty in get
ting the house to agree to those
amendments.
The Muskogee fair bill, which went
through the house at the same time
with the sheriffs' bill, is Ill resting
in the senate committee on agricul-
ture. however, and the chances for its
resurrection seem to De very poor.
The apportionment question has been
raised during the past week by the
introduction of judicial apportionment
hf11c In hofh honcau ond a uanaral
legislative apportionment bill in the
senate. No legislator in either branch
Las had the temerity as yet. however,
to tackle the question OF congressional
apportionment. The bills which have
been introduced during the week Will
merely furnish the basis for the work
to be done by the apportionment com
mittees OF the respective houses, and
Ii Is not expected that that subject
will be brought out on the floor OF
either house until the more important
subjects OF legislation recommended
by the governors message are dis
posed of.
Two of the big questions proposed
by the governor, those concerning the
creation OF board Of education and
the restriction OF the gambling evil,
have not been taken up as yet by
either house. Numerous Dhls have
been introduced in both houses, but
none OF them have yet succeeded In
getting favorable committee report,
The governors idea of the best way
10 relieve the congestion OF business
in the supreme court does not seem
TO meet with favor, as both houses
have reported fayorably bills for the
creation of the supreme court com
mission as temporary expedient
Appropriation bills are beginning to
take prominent place on the calen-
dars of both houses, and many OF
them have already received favor
able action. Il seems to be agreed
that the state university Is to get a
Gew building for it's law school, but
the results as to other public building
bills are still in doubt.
