(GRANT'S TOMB, IN NEW YORK, AS IT WILL APPLAR WHEN COMPLETED.
A TOWN TAKEN,
Outlaws Terrorize the City of Chan-
dler and Rob a Bank.
ONE MAN KILLED OUTRIGHT.
A Hot Conflict Between the Out lawn anil
Citizen*, in Which Over k Hundred
Shots Are Fired-The Hooty
Secured by the Roober
(iMDK Wan Very
Light.
The city of Chandler was terrorized
and captured day before yesterday
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon by
seven members of the famous "Cook
gang" and the Lincoln County Hank
robbed. In the fight that took place
one citizen was killed and an outlaw
wounded.
The first known in this city about
the robbery was when last evening's
Chandler stage came in about 0 o'clock.
Shortly after Deputy Sheriff Nels
Warren and Jim Furber arrived with
one of the outlaws, named Elmer Lu-
cas, who had been wounded in the
fight and captured.
Monday morning a 10 o'clock a man
presented himself at the cashier's win-
dow of the Lincoln County Hank, of
which O. 15. Kees is president, and
Fred Hoyt, cashier, and demanded the
cash of the bank to be turned over.
Kees stated that he could not open the
time lock. Other outlaws with the
leader pushed the matter with him
and his brolher, Ilarvey Kees, to the
point of death. Seeing that they
couldn't open the safe, one of the out-
laws went to a rear room of the bank
where Fred Hoyt lay sick and got him
out of bed and forced him to try his
hand to open the safe, but it was a
time lock and could not be opened.
They only got $107.50.
While three men were in the bank,
one was holding five horses behind the
building and another was standing
watch in front. Old man Mitchell, a
barber across the street, seeing the
outlaws, cried out, "The Dalton rob-
bers are in town! The Dalton gang is
in town!" He was told to shut up,
but not heeding the warning, a shot
from one of the outlaws in the bank
laid him low. This attracted several
people and a messenger ran to the
court house to notify Deputy Sheriff
Nels Warren, in running to his house
for his Winchester, Warren had to
pass the rear of the bank being rob-
bed. He was recognized by the out-
laws and shot at, but without effect.
Reaching home, he got his Winchester
and stepping to the back porch of his
house, he shot twice at Tulsa Jack,
who was holding the outlaws' horses
at the rear of the bank, and was shot
at in return. His first shot killed the
horse behind which the outlaw was
hiding and his second would have
brought him low, but his daughter had
come out of the house, and in her anx-
iety for her father had taken hold of
him to pull him in the house. His
family having come out on the porch
and being exposed to the tire, Mr.
Warren had to take them back
out of the way. When he re-
turned the outlaw gang had
mounted and were riding away. Other
citizens were shooting at the outlaws
by this time and they were returning
the fire. In the fight two horses were
killed, and one captured and three
saddles taken.
A POSSE IN PURSUIT.
A pos6e was quickly gathered togeth-
er composed of Sheriff Parker, Deputy
Sheriffs Nels Warren and Lon
Poling, Joe Orr, Jim Furber, and oth-
ers and the outlaws were given chase.
When they left the bank five men were
riding four horses. Some distance out
they met a farmer and cut a horse out
of his harness and rode off with him.
The gang was followed three miles
northeast of town. When the pursu-
ers entered some timber a shot rang
out and a bullet whistled passed them.
They returned the fire and going into
the brush found one of the outlaws,
Elmer Lucas. He had been shot
through both legs in the upper part of
the thigh. The balance of the gang
had run off and left him.
the outlaw gang.
It is supposed that there were seven
men in the gang of outlaws, although
only five presented themselves at the
bank. The others probably held a re
serve out of town. The men known
to have been among the gang are Bill
Cook, Jack Starr, .Joe Jennings, alias
Kit Carson, Tulsa Jack and Elmer Lu-
cas. Joe Jennings has one of the best
farms in the Hear creek bottoms, and
is well known in this city, having
done deputy marshal work for several
years under this department. It was
not known that he had taken to the
woods, although he was known to be
a "rolicky cuss" when he got full.
Hill Cook is well kuown among the
deputy marshals. He was first arrest-
ed for peddling whisky by Ruf Canon
several years ago.
lucas hhought HKKE.
Deputy Marshal Nels Warren, Jim
Furber and Bill Gardner brought Lu-
cas, the wounded outlaw, here last
flight, and he is now resting easily in
the United States jail, lying in the
corrider on a cot. The wounds he re-
ceived did not hurt the bone of his
| limbs and he will get alright. He had
| to be brought over from Chandler as
1 one attempt had been made Monday
: night to lynch him and there was a
' strong organization on foot for the
, next night. He tells his story to the
| effect that he was out in the timber
where he was shot, and that when the
j outlaws road by they took his horse
and left him behind. He admits that
this is the famous "Cook Gang" and
that three of the men are half-breed
j Creeks. He states that his parents
are on a farm in the Pawnee country.
He is about 24 years old and states he
has been with the gang only a few
months.
the gang had money.
The outlaws seen to have had the
town seized up early in the morning.
Before six o'clock Jack Starr and Joe
Jennings were in Mat Reave's saloon
and wanted to ehange a $100 bill. In
a quarrel that took place between Jim
Furber and what proves to be Jack
Starr. Joe Jennings attempted to help
Starr by attacking Furber from be-
hind. These men were afterwards
recognized as part of the gang.
THE MILITIA.
A Bill for a National Military Organ-
ization.
SOME POINTS IN THE BILL.
Every Able Bodied Male Citiren lletween
the Age* of IS and 4 A to lie Made to
Serve - l'rovi ion for Annual
Eneanipuient*.
Washington, Aug. l.—The increas-
ing importance of the militia for quell-
ing internal disturbances in case of
threatened war has led Gen. Curtis, of
New York, who is an enthusiast upon
military matters, to embody his plans
for a national military organization in
a bill. The bill has received the sanc-
tion of the house committee on militia,
and although it will probably not se-
cure a hearing this season it may be
called up next season.
Gen. Curtis proposes that the militia
shall consist of every able bodied male
citizen between the ages of is and 45,
the organization to be known as the
national guard of the states, and the
unorganized as the reserve militia.
The organization of the former would
be made to conform as closely as possi-
ble to that of the regular army. The
national guard, according to the plan,
could be called into action by the pres-
ident or by any act of congress, while
only an act of congress could call out
the reserve militia, the president hav-
ing the power to call upon the govern-
ors of states for the needed forces of
the guard in case of invasion or danger
of invasion from foreign foes, Indian
uprisings, or the rebellion against the
authority of the government, specify-
ing in his call the period of service re-
quired, with the limitation of nine
months.
The national guard reserve, when in
service, will be subject to the same
rules and articles of war as the regular
troops of the United States, and will
be subjected to the same rules and
regulations.
For the maintenance of the military
organizations the plan contemplates an
j annual appropriation of $400,000, to be
apportioned among the states and ter-
ritories, and to be disbursed for arms,
ordnance, stores and equipments under
the direction of the secretary of war;
no state entitled to a share unless it
has enlisted and uniformed at least
100 men for each senator and repre-
sentative in congress to which it is en-
titled.
Provisions for annual encampments,
under the supervision of officers of the
regular army, are made and various
persons are exempted from service; offi-
cials of the government marines, pilots
and officials of railroads used in mili-
tary or postal service. l>eing exempted
classes.
ANOTHER TRAGtDY.

iff, killed Kill Kaker at Chandler.

THE KTKIKK COMMISSION.
A Meeting of the Members at Washington
To-day.
Washington. Aug. 1.—The railroad
strike investigation commission met to-
day at the bureau of labor, Messrs.
Wright, Kernan and Worthingtou all
being present. This was the first meet-
ing of the commission and was for the
purpose of arranging the preliminaries
to its investigation of the strike or-
dered by the American Railway union,
and of outlining the scope of the
investigation. There was a thor-
ough discussion of the law under
which the commission was appointed
and of the duties devolving upon it. It
was decided to begin the investigation
at Chicago at a date to be fixed later in
the day, when some information re-
garding the quarters of the commission
while conducting its investigation can
be obtained. The commission will
probably conclude its preliminary la-
bors here to-day and Messrs. Kernan
and Worthington expect to leave here
to-night for their homes preparatory to
entering on the active work of the
commission.

leading Democrats In the House Kay Thatf
It Will Not Become a Law.
Washington, Aug. I.—At no time
since the senators conspired to pass
their bill has the prospect of its re-
formation contained the promise that
it does to-day. The threat they made,
that if their bill did not become a law
they would keep the McKinley bill
upon the statute book, has drawn
down upon the senate such a con-
tinuous storm of offended democratic
protest and repudiation from every
section of the country as to seriously
test its llessian courage.
The leaders of the house democracy«
at the instance of Mr. Cleveland ami
with his full concurrence,stand sturdily
for the transformation of the senate
bill into a measure of substantial com-
pliance with the promises that brought
victory.
The senate conferees on Saturday
said that not one line of their biil
could b e changed. Yesterday they of-
fered some immaterial i oneessions not
pertinent to the principles involved,
and therefore of no importance to the
house representatives. They still de-
clan' that the house must make its
choice between the senate bill and the
McKinley bill.
How the president receives this as-
sertion is fairly to l>e deduced from the
indisputable fact that he strongly
urges the house conferees to demand
free raw materials in the face of any
threat. Noone proposes with authority
k> say that the president would veto
the senate bill if it went to hiin un-
amended, but all who enjoy his confi-
dence do say unhesitatingly that the
senate bill will not become a law.
Vest, who has borne so unfortunate
a part in its preparation, is somewhat
downcast. He says he's sick; that he
has been miscontrued ami misunder-
stood; that by every mail he received
dozens of letters from valued friends,
men whom he has long esteemed and
honored, protesting against the senate
measure. There appears to be little
doubt that Missouri is pouring in an
unceasing flood of such protestations.
It is declared that the caucus cannot
instruct the conferees, that instruc-
tions can be given by the house only,
and when it conies to formally record-
ing themselves by a yea and nay vote,
the number of the malcontents will be
| found comparatively lew.
