An hour find u half of wind mid
wrangling and Iialf an hour's work
make up. in brief thu record of yes-
to ''ay morning's session of the upper
liouo of Oklahoma's wonder. Tlie
members were nil on hand and It
bcem-4 that the oratorical elTorts of the
previous day had loosened the organs
of utterance of each member to such
n degree that all wore ready to give
vent to a quantity of remarks when-
ever a theme might be presented. Un-
fortunately for the business interests
oftho body n number of themes
were presented and- of course
speeches ensued.
The first thinglhat started the senate
off was tho appearance of Otto Iickc-
meyer the governor's private secre-
tary with two council bills which the
governor had approved and signed.
Tho bills wore filed with the chief
clerk.
iJeott asked for liifuruiutfuii lis to
who was tho proper custodian of
measures that had been passed and
approved.
lVgan said the practice had been for
tho governor to return the measure to
the body in which it hud originated
and for the chief clerk of that body
after making proper ro-ord to trans-
mit tho bill to the secretary of the ter-
ritory. Doom objected. He t id not think
the chief clerk should hav. anything
to do with thu bill after it had been
sent to the govornor. and didn't think
the bill should bo brought back to the
assembly at all.
Several other members expre-sed
their opluions and ex-Governor Seay
btated the practice followed during his
administration.
Upon motion of Baker tho plan sug-
gested by Fegan was adopted.
The journal wns then read and Itay
wanted to make some corrections. He
insisted that it should show that upon
the motion as to which report should
be considered first.
Fegan did not vote and was not ex-
cused until after a division of the
house was had.
A long wrangle ensued which was
ended by a motion to appoint Uay and
Fegan a committee to agree as to the
record in the mutter.
Doom then tailed up the Gundy-
ChuIkoii innto-t use again
Ruy in ved to dnpt i he iiiuj r;ty r. -port
declaring dandy not aleotud.
l'routy moved to amend by substi-
tuting the minority report for the
majority report.
v.... .iiml fnr the reading of the
oldcuvo upon the question of Gaudy's
receiving a plurality and Cleiic Hotlus
began.
After reading two depositions" a re-
cess was taken until 2 p.m.
Afternoon
When tho council reassembled the
struggle of reading affidavits was re-
sumed nnil lasttd for about au hour
then tho talk began again.
Doom onened tho ball with a story
and said ho thought it was ridiculous
to be culled upon to seat a man in that
body on the btrength of men's opin-
ions.
Prouty showed that Doom showed
great skill in covering up arguments;
that the men who had sworn both
ways were Populists. He said there
wore frauds In the election returns
and referred to tho Moorc-Funston
congressional contest in Kansas and
tho contests In tho "Dunsmore house"
of the Kansas legislature.
Mr Itay thought that Mr. Doom had
not weighed to evidence carefully.

2 votes or the 8 should bo conn tod be-
(.note the manner of mutilation hail
not bet n t jld and thu mutilated bal-
lots had been burned. Ho mi d
therefore vo.o against seating Mr
Gundy.
Mr. Orner did not think the mem-
bers need worry about establishing a
precedent for if tills legislature does
its duty the election laws will bo so
amended that in the future something
better than precedent would govern
Mr Allan said that after men had
put their ballots In the box 1) out of
10 wouldn't know how they hud
voted.
Mr. Holes did not agree with Mr.
lay as to throwing out the 10 votes
because the manner of mutilation
Turning to Mr Allan he said "Is it
possible that the gentleman repre-
sents a constituency who do not know-
how to vote? Are we to understand
that that fuct accounts for the gentle-
man being here?"
'Mr. Fegan did not look at tho mat
ter as his associates did. Ho said some

Mr Spencer thought this was worse
than the Hay s-lMden eontist of 1870.
He called intention U the fact that
j the election judges were Deinjcrats
and Hopublii tins
Mr. Tankcrsley felt sure that If th-
Kepublieans hud mutilated .t few lit
lots the Populists had mutilated a
ininy or in re.
Mr. Pitzer said ho was a
partisan. He thought Mr Coulson's
sitting us a member would render tin
laws passed of doubtful validity. Tney
wrre rot establishing precedents nor
were they bound by any. Tho elej
tion laws never contemplated dlsfran
chising a whole district and Gun ly
bhould be boated.
Mr. Doom made another talk and
recess was taken until 8 p in
MKht SihkIiiii.
Mr Pegan stated that bince the ad
journtnent boforu supper ho had spent
soint- time in reviewing the evidence
in tbo contest case and that he h.itl
discovered a discrepancy with reg rd
to some affidavits mid ho desired to
have more time in which to Investi-
gate it ai.d would like to have the
matter go over till today. On niotlm
of Mr. Orner tho further considcratioi
of the contobt cue was postponed t.u
today.

oiK'v received show that five men
were concerned in it. Two of tlie
bandits buiirdod the train at Wilcox
unl when two miles west of tlie town
suddenly appeared in tli? cab of tho
engine with drawn pistols compell-
ing the engineer to stop the train.
While one of the robbers kept him
emored. the other Hindu the lireninn
and briikeinan cut the express and
mn'.l ears loose from th. rest of the
train. The engineer was then made
to pull the two detached cars on for
about five milos to a culvert where
two of the bandit gang were found
holding ho'-ses for the entire party.
It was here that the safe was blown
open the men with the horses hav-
ing brought the explosives
isix explosions were effected by tho
robbers before they felt sutisUed with
their work. The top and sides of tho
express ear were thorousrhly shat-
tered and the express company's safe
was blown to pieces.
Hesides the S10.000 in Mexican
money there was a good t'.onl of coin
on tlie train which had been sent to
pay the railroad employes along tho
line and this was nlso curried off by
the robbers who rode away in :i
southerly direction. Grant Wliooler

Tho Southern Pacific company and
Wells-Fargo Express company offer a
joint rcwnrl of 8"00 for each of the
robbers.
After compelling the engineer to
iinpmmlH tho eiiu-ine bnirifiige and
express cars from the remainder of
the train and run live miles further
up the road to a desolate spot the
robbers forced the engineer and lire-
nion to leavo the train and take to the
plains on peril of their lives. Ex-

similar experience near Maricopa a
