From the looks of the destruction
this morning llolloween was generally
observed in this city last night. The
social and the unsocial world made
merry each to its own taste. Among
the many pranks played by the spirits
of night the best one was that of set-
ting tire to a lot of dry goods boxes on
the corner of Harrison and Division
and then sending in a tire alt rin to the
fire department. It had the desired
effect on the boys as well as on Fire
Chief Taylor, who came running in
naked amazement to find there wasn't
enough tire to even wann his shiver-

central committee of the peoples par-
ty of Logan county. Gentlemen: The
chairman of the people's party of Lo-
gan county, .1. B. Dobson, has called
you to meet in the city of Guthrie on
Saturday, November 9. In that call
he sets forth the following:
"The interests of the party i« Logan
county demand that every chair be
filled and accordingly all members are
notified to be in their place or to see
that an authorized proxy does ap-
pear."
Gentlemen, the time has now arrived
when we shall soon be confronted with
expose of some of the doings of per-
sons trusted to till important posi-
tions. Leo Vincent is chairman of the
territorial committee of the populist
party anil has also been holding the
position of public printer under popu-
list administration. The tiles of the
Oklahoma Representative show a con-
dition of things fearful to contem-
plate. Leo Vincent has defrauded the
county in times past and is now seek-
ing to still further defraud the county
by nresenting a bill of upwards of
$3,100. The Omaha platform was
adopted as a guide to the populists
and speaks in thunder tones. Listen:
"Wealth belongs to him who creates
it, and every dollar taken from indus-
try without an equivalent is robbery!"
Leo Vincent not only has taken
money from industry in this county
without rendering an equivalent,
but he is still further trying to rob
honest toil. Your duty, gentlemen, is
plain in this matter. The populists of
Logan county have trusted tlie affairs
of their party into your hands. V

who was arrested a few weeks ago
charged with accessory in the murder
of Levi Slay baugh, was acquitted of
the charge in his preliminary hearing
before Judge Whiles last week at

the people of Rose township are fur
from being satisfied that it is. and the
case will undoubtedly be brought up
before the grand jury.

At this meeting it is expected that a

of the bank here, which is one of the
soundest in the territory. The doctor
is a man of splendid business ability
and in having him connected with
their new bank Pawnee has a reason
to be proud. The others named as in-
corporators are F. M Thompson ami
C. W Rambo, two of Pawnee's sub-
stantial business men. In conversa-
tion with Dr. Sutton he informed us
that such a corporation had been form-
ed and that he had entered into it
fully confident that it would be but a
short time when Pawnee and Cleve-
land would be connected by a railroad,
which would enable him to satisfac-
torily attend to business at both points.

Hot Simiingm. Ark., Nov. 1.—The day
that for months has been uwaited by
all admirers of pugilistic sport through-
out the world and when they were to
have witnessed what promised to be
the greatest heavyweight contest of
recent years, is hero, and only the
presence of lloh Fit z simmons is
necessary to enable the original
contract subject to some modifica-
tions, ami under new auspices,
to be carried out. Corbett is here free
ami unrestrained, with not even the
shadow of a deputy sheriff in his
wake. The ring can be completed in
an hour ami there are a sufficient
number of visiting and resilient sports
in town or within a few miles of it to
enuble a purse to be hung
up and leave a balance large
enough to recoup the Hot
Springs club for its advances to the
men antl other expenses. But it takes
two to make a bnrgiiin and Robert
Fit/.siinin< ns, who has been ding-dong-
ing for weeks into the ears of the
American public, "I will be in II it
Springs on October 31," is not here
at ull. Instead he is at the capital
whither he went a willing captive
spurning the offer of a special train
and all the protection that was neces-
sary to bring him from the Texas bor-
der antl luml him in Hot Springs in ab-
solute safety, .lust what will hap|>eii
to him in court at Little Rock to-day
Is problematical. Just what happened
here was that at 11:30Champion James
J. Corbett entered a closed carriage
in front of a private residence where
he had passed the night, was driven to
Whittington park, stepped for a mo-
ment upon the temporary stage, an-
nounced to the birds in the trees that
he had ful illed his share of his articles
of agreement to the letter, and claimed
the forfei from the Florida Athletic
club; re-entered the carriage and went
back to town still the heavyweight
champion the world.
The friends of Fitzsiinmons place all
the blame of the arresting fiasco on
the shoulders of Joe Vendig. The lat-
ter, who Fitz hates and despises most
cordially, went down all alone to the
state line yesterday to witness what-
ever might happen when the two sets
of officers contended for tho posses-
sion of Fitzsimtnons and Julian.
The former, so it is claimed,
spied Vendig and assuming
from his presence that some kind of a
trap was concealed behind Sheriff
Iloupt's offer of a special train, pro-
ceeded to take his chances with the
governor's oflicers. There is no ques-
tion hut that if Fitzsiinmons had taken
the special a fight would have been
brought off here, if not to-ti ay, at
least before Saturday night.
It was the intention of the governor
to have had the special intercepted by
a company of militia at Malvern, the
junction of the Iron Mountain ami Hot
Springs roads, but even this contin-
gency had been provided against, for
10 miles south of here a buggy was
in waiting to drive the fighter over the
mountains aud into the Hot Springs
valley. Col. Murphy, of Little Rock,
received a call over the long distance
telephone at 10 o'clock to-day for that
eitv on the first train to appear for the
tighter ami his manager. The local
citizens' committee has undertaken to
see them ' hrough, although they are
anything but satisfied with Fitzsiin-
mons'action yesterday and the predica-
ment in which he has placed himself. No
advices have been received from Little
Rock this morning regarding his pro-
posed movements, but from the fact
that Mesdames Fitzsiinmons ami
Julian arri.ed here last night and reg-
istered at the Arlington it is assumed
that after giving police bonds he will
come at t nee to this city. But the
original articles of agreement have
already been violated by his fail-
ure to show up this morning,
and while ' here are some who believe
what is a fact that the men, if both
are willing, could be brought together
under favorable financial conditions in
forty-eight hours from noon to-day,
yet the overwhelming majority holds
to the theo.-y that fight there will not
be, simply because one of the two
principals t oes not want to fight.

Wichita, Ivan., Nov. 1 -The numer-
ous losses of cattle that have b -en re-
ported in this section recently from
some unknown cause led to an investi-
gation, an 1 st.ic'.tmen are now reason-
ably certain that death resulted from
feeding on dry corn stalks. Some of
the cattle that have died were ex-
amined and in each case the stomach
was found to be perfectly dry and
very hot. The disease has been pro-
nounced dry murrien. t attle feeders
have very generally been turning their
herds on stalk fields, and to this cause
is assigned the losses reported. In dis-
cussing the subject, an old stockman
said: "I consider it a very dangerous
practice to allow cattle to run oil dry
stalks until there have been two or
three freezes. They should not be al-
lowed ou the stalk fields long at a
time until they become accustomed to
the dry feed. When they are allowed
to gorge their stomachs on dry fodder
ami are not given the requisite amount
of water, digestion is impossible, l ever
sets in and we find what we call dry
murrien. Cattle must have plenty of
water and salt."

General Dawes has forbidden the
county clerk of Crawford county to

mittee hilt* not by a convention.
The convention adjourned with-

fore doing so instructed the commit-
tee to meet at a subsequent date ami
complete the ticket. The democrats
hold that Chief Justice Martin, who
was nominated bv the republican state

relation before the people that the
democratic nominees of this county do,
except that his name is upon the
tickets, while the local candidates here
