Trouble Browing.
Outnnin ; Oklahoma , April 23. [ Special
Telegram to Tun Ben. ] What was only n
broad expanse of prairie yesterday morning
Is a city of n thousand tents and about eight
thousand Inhabitants this morning. Tbo
tont-strotchlng keeps going on , but there
are as many people leaving as there are now
ones coming in. When the opening hour
arrived yesterday , nearly a thousand of the
choicest lots were taken by parties who nro
laid to hnvo stood In with the United States
marshal , receiver , register nnd others ,
whoso permits would bo respected by the
military. A largo number of boomers
lipped through the lines nnd hid until noon ,
and then rushed upon the town site and
" staked oft lots for themselves and. all of
tbolr friends. As a natural consequence ,
there Is a great deal of dissatisfaction mani
fested , and many pcoplo loft yesterday in
disgust on seeing the condition of uffalrs
prevailing here.
At 0 o'clock last evening nu Indignation
meeting was held near the land ofllco to got
the voice of the pcoplo on these matters.
Runners were sent through.thocamp , calling
the people out , nnd about two thousand of
them quit tholr work of unpacking and putting -
ting up their tents , and went totho meeting.
Speaking was continued until after dark ,
mid whenever the improper location of lots
was referred to the greatest applause was In
dulged In nnd the crowd became very ex
cited. A committee wns appointed , consistIng -
Ing of ono member from every state nnd ter
ritory In the United States , to draft resolu
tions covering the case and report at a citi
zens' mass meeting , nt 9 o'clock this morn-
irfp. The committee organized at 9 o'clock
last night , nnd nfter a long nnd
excited session agreed on resolutions ,
which were submitted to the citizens'
meeting this morning and adopted. These
resolutions provide for cnteringfivo half sec
tions ns town sites under the name of Guth-
i-ie , North Guthrie , South Guthrfo , East
Guthrlo and West Guthrie , nnd 1'or the sur
vey of these half sections. They nlso pro
vide for the appointment of n committee tc
take steps for protecting the honest.scitlcrs
ngnlnst the frauds that are said to have been
practiced by the United States civil officers
nnd others at this point. It Is stated that
United States Marshitl Needles , of the In
dian territory district , issued .bogus deputy
marshals' commissions and permits to friends
of his , to enable them to get into this place
before the time for entering the lands law
fully. These permits from the marshal
nnd other ofllclals tire said to have
been used by persons desiring to get
hero ahead of the others whom the
Jaw excluded until noon , yesterday , nnd
'hereby locate the choicest lots in Guthric
for themselves and friends. The receiver
hero Is albo said to luivo interests in land :
that were located before the law-abiding set
tlers could arrive.
The feeling is very bitter , and the better
class of .citizens oucnly condemn those wlic
gobbled up the lots under special uermits.
The meetings are very orderly , although
well attended , nnd nro almost in continuous
session to-day : but the honest sottlcrs ol
Guthrie feel that they have not boon falrli
treated , and are very Indignant In cense
quoncu. The committee from the various
states und territories has been retained us ;
committee of public safety , and it will reporl
nt future meetings of the citizens , to bo holt
* hero , for the purpose of protecting thu in
tercsts and rights of the settlers , and prop
, orly organizing a city government for the
city of Guthrle.
The scenes In camp this morning pro
Edited a lively appearance. Nearly every
body wns stirring by 5 o'clocic , and res
taurants nnd stores were being put up
Freight was being hauled up from the depot
mid the business of the now city had begun
The Santa Fe water tank was guarded bj
thb soldiers , and , as no ono was allowed U
get water there , the settlers had to go to tin
creek , about half a mlle distant , with thuli
buckets , cups , coffee pots and oyster cans foi
water. The restaurants that were luckj
enough to bo ready for business this morninj
ure making money rapidly. The hungr ;
crowds must bo fed. and the restaurants cai
charge their own prices for food. Eggs an
Belling at 10 cents each , bacon and bread n
40 cents and other things in pro
portion. Seven restaurants have Bturtcc
up. already and nro all doing a goot
business. Guthrle has nlso two lodgini
tents , a barber shop , photograph gallery
postoOlco , several stores , law ofllcos and i
score of land oflices , all In tents. Water ii
being bold on the streets at D cents a cup , am
the water wagon draws great crowds o
thirsty people who can not got water else
where.
Surveyors nro at work laying off towi
Bites and lots in nil parts of the camp. Lot
are located for two miles around , and Uios
who cnnia In late have but little chance o
getting anything desirable unless they wal
until many who have lots here for specula
tlon get dlsguxtcd and leave.
The claim-tiling ut the land ofllco Is ver.
slow , and the people m line waiting the !
turn provide themselves with stools o
blankets to sit on , for .the line I
always long and tlio wait grows ver ;
tedious. A constant stream of hutnunlt
Is passing in front of the postoDlca for mail
und tlie crowds ut the express nnd baggag
odlce ut the Santa l''c < depot are so large thu
soldiers and deputy-marshals are there prt
serving ordor. All trains nro behind tlm
rind there li no ccrtitlnty about ioltni ; ! ; ma
off , and there nrn no postage stumps loft 1
the -camp , . They cannot bo bought anj
whore.
The wind was blowing hard all day an
many of the tents were blown down. Th
wind lust night wns quite chilly for th
thousands of ( Juthrlo battlers , most of whoi
\vcrc unable to gut their bedding from th
depot. All had to sleep on the giuss , un
many of them had neither shelter nor covei
But little building is being done ye
on account of the nnccrtuinvy about tow
lotc hern. Many think that much of tli
camp will bo surveyed over und rolocatct
owing to the -fraud which Is said to hnv
been perpetrated , Pendlnc thu scttlcmui
of these dinlcultics , the building of house
has been stoupod. Nearly everybody hero i
armed , and , while them has been no trouu !
BO far , thu determination to src fair play i
BO great that If these frauds are persisted li
there mny be trouble any day.

Drs MOI.NES , In. , April 23. [ Special Tele-
Brain to Tun Bnn.l A special from Jeffer
son , Green county , says : A dastardly at
tempt was made to wreck the regular north
bound passenger trnln Saturday night over
the narrow gungo road , by the plasing of n
largo stone upon the track Just north of the
Northwestern railway crossing. The stone ,
which weighs about two hundred pounds ,
was struck by the engine , but the latter had
almost come to n standstill , nnd hence wns
not thrown from the trick , yet at the same
time the front end of the engine was raised
about eighteen Inches.
A trnmp has been arrested on suspicion
and now lies iu jail. Ho was seen by the
trainmen nt the railroad crossing when the
train went north , and holmmedlately took to
his heels In nu opposite direction. Ho was
apprehended at the narrow guago depot and
recognized by the trainmen. lie stoutly de
nies nny connection with the obstruction ,
nnd explains his presence nt that time nt the
crossing b.v saying that it was his purpose to
jump aboard a train on tbo northern road ,
but his leaving there so suddenly In another
direction points to Ins guilt. Ho halls from
Missouri and is n desperate looking man.
Crcston's Sunday I.rnv.
CKCSTON , In. , April -Special [ to Tun
Bin. | Last Sunday , for the llrst time in her
history , Creston observed the Sunday law.
The now domocrntlo mayor , John A. Patter
son , was ponularly supposed , prior to elec
tion , to favor the whisky element. It was
also whispered that Patterson had pledged
nn association of local ministers that , in case
of his election , ho would enforce all laws.
The "Joint" men worked , it appears , without
nny direct promise ns to the results , going
principally upon the faith that Air. Patterson
would sustain his former record and "stay.
by the boys. " The result was the election
of the democratic mayor by a round major
ity. Tno now mayor's ' first oflicial act waste
to close every whisky Joint in the city. His
next move wns to gather in n squad of boot
leggers , who were assessed heavy fines.
Then certain vacant rooms were searched
by oftlccrs , several cases of beer were
seized , and the owners arrested on
charges of selling liquor. Five or
six billiard men , butchers and a livery
man wore lined for selling liquor ,
in sums running from f30 to 8 > IK ) each , 'iwo
raids have been made on gambling houses ,
resulting in a haul of thirteen gamblers nnd
? 150 in fines. Last Friday the mayor issued
n proclamation stating that the Sunday law
would bo enforced , and yesterday every door
in the city except hotels , livery stables , resi
dences nnd churches were closed. Many
Sunday dinners were eaten without broad
nnd meat nnd digested without cigars" by
citizens who were not thoughtful enough to
provide on Saturday evening.
Tlio whisky men nre disconsolate. "I see
through it nil now , " said ono of them to u
BKB correspondent this mcrning. "All the
while wo were legging on election day nnd
blowing in our cas > h for Patterson beer , tliat
ministerial trust was getting' iu its work nnd
votes on tlio same man. "
Two joint keepers were tried this morning ,
and both pleaded guilty to selling liquor.
Each was fined SK'U ' and costs , thu costs in
each case amounting to ? 5' ) . Upon puvmcnt
of the costs the lines were suspended during
good behavior.

WASHINGTON BUIIKAU , Tnr. OMAHA BRE. )
613 KOUHTBBNTII STIIERT , V
WASHINGTON , I ) . C. , April 23. )
Thomas H. Rend Is the only aspirant for
the Riionkcrslnp of the Fifty-first congress
now in Washington , with the exception of
Mr. Cannon , of Illinois. Ho was at the
white house and the various departments
to-day , seeking appointments for his conitltu-
cuts. Mr. Reed nays there will undoubtedly
bo nn extra session of congress * called about
the middle of October. Major McKlnloy , of
Ohio , another very prominent spcakorshlp
candidate , said , on Saturday , to your corre
spondent that an extra session would bo
called In October. The same opinions were
expressed by Messrs. Cannon nnd Burrows ,
of Mlchignn , thu other well-known spoukor-
Bhlp candidate , within the past two weeks.
These men hnvo all talked to the president
on the subject of nn extra session ,
nnd their opinions are based uiion '
the knowledge they gleaned from the chief
executives. Nino-tenths of tha republicans
In both houses of congress are of the sauio
opinion. All of these men have expressed
the belief that the committees will bo an
nounced within n fortnight nfter thohouso is
organized. This alone will suvo at least two
weeks of time. Under the constitution the
house meets in regular session on the first
Monday in Docambcr , nnd it Is very rnro
that the committees nro announced before
the second week in January. Sometimes the
committees nro not known until"1 thu third or
fourth week in January , und thus six weeks
nro wasted. The question of having con-
press meet in extra session iu October
simply involves the question of the
advisability or comfort of having
the regular session run through nil of the
hot mouths next summer or adjourn before
the weather is hot by calling the session six
or eight weeks In advance of the usual time.
Only ono member und two senators were
seen nt the capital between 12 and - o'clock
to-day. Nearly all of the committees rooms
were closed , very few visitors were seen and
there was the most complete desertion of the
capltol building that has been observed for
fifteen months.

U'l'KALS AND DECISIONS.
The first assistant secretary of the In
terior has given a decision in the case of tha
appeal of Agnes M. Melville from tha de
cision of the commissioner of the general
land ollico of March 10 , 18SS , the commis
sioner having held for cancellation nupell-
ant's homestead entry upon -the northwest
quarter of section 82. township 4 north ,
range 'M west , ith principal meridian McCook
land district of Nebraska. The entry nad
been contested by Ezra Benjamin upon tliu
ground thr.t the claimant , had not inado
her residence upon the land. Tha
evidence submitted showed that sha
had built llimsy structures unlit for habita
tion in winto.r , and had merely visited the
place , staying over night about once every
six months. Shojpleadcd poverty us an ex
cuse for a moro strict compliance wllli tha
law , but thu llrst assistant secretary afll mod
the action of the commissioner , on the ( jiound
that nn occasional visit to u homestead is not
sufllclcnt to establish a residence theicon ,
and further , that thu fact of the chiiu unt
owning u 100-acro farm , together with ro , oiv-
sng n salary of $30 as a teacher , precluded her
right to plead poverty.
The first assistant secretary of the In
terior baa considered the nnpcul of Sa uel
SiniH from the decision of the commissioner
of the general land ofllco of November 10 ,
1SS7 , holding for cancellation his homuct u i
entry for the northeast quarter of sout on 17 ,
township fl north , range ! J5 west , YeCo j.j
land district , Nebraska. This c.iso involvJJ
the contest of John Doorribr , who claim vj
that Sims had resided on his pre-empt ! .n .
claim during the period of nearly five yca-s
since huh.ul held his homestead , to which he ,
bad inado entry three weeks before piving
proof for his pre-emption. The ovldu.ico
Hliowed that .Sims had netod under tLo mi-
vice of the loc.il oIllceiM rtuMrdln ; .his
right to make the hdiqestcnd entry before ho
huu perfected his prcsjinptlon cash entry ,
but the llrst assistant seBtctnry hold that
Biuili fiust could not affect tCQ question , as
the department Intil no power'or authority to
lcgali/,0 an illegal net even though . that act
wnsdomi with the permission or under tha
ndvico of the local olllccrs. Sim's case , how
ever , comes within tbo provisions of the law
giving the right to "make the secxmd nntry
to one who has not therefore proved titlu to
the tract of land for which he had made en
try under tins homcxtoait law. " The first
assistant beerutary concludes his comment by
referring the case hack to the commiRtloner
for Ins further consideration , s.iyin ; , ' that tha
evidence feom to indicate that Kim's cu
conies within the provisions of this law.
