United States Marshal Nix has iu his
possession about fifty head of cattle,
which he has confiscated from the
gang of horse and cattle thieves who
were captured the first of last week.
The cattle arc of a dozen different
brands and were undoubtedly stolen
from the large pastures in the Creek
uation. It is now known that the men
captured are only a part of a regular-
ly organized band of thieves who have
been operating in the two territories.
Their plan has been to steal horses in
Oklahoma and drive them thro igh the
unsettled country east of h^re to the
markets in the eastern parts of the ! ••
dian Territory, then dispose of them,
and on the return trip steal cattle from
the Indian pastures and market them
n Oklahoma. In this way they have
stolen over 91,000 worth of stock in a
of an opening in the canvas, with a
curtain to hide it when not in use.
Vhenever a hav hauler crosses the
line the curtain'is lifted and the out-
fit photographed. Our informant re-
ports that it is the opinion among
tlio-e who have watched the proceed-
ings that some person or persons are
taking these pictures to keep us an
evidence against all wh > enter the
strip, in case such are to be barred
out from taking claims. Wc are in-
formed that there is considerable in-
dignation against such proceeding
among those who know of it.

Aiubassudor Duffer in had telegraphed
yesterday to the foreign office tliut M.

hud informed him that the blockade
would begiu on July 31. Luter in the
day Captain Jones, minister to

nouncing that a blockade had com-
menced on July '.'ii. Captain Jones'
statement was afterward confirmed by
tho naval offioer commanding at Star

been allowed for neutral teasels to
loave Bangkok. The government, Mir
Edward concluded, had telegraphed to
Paris for a prompt explanation of the
seeming discrepancy in tiie time of es-
tablishing the blockade.
Sir Edward, in replying to a ques-
tion asked by Sir Charles Dilkc, said
the question as to the effect on trade
of the French blockade of the Siamese
