Washinoton, August 7.—[Special.)
The plan of Secretary Smith tp upset
the schemes of the townsite grabbers
was made known to your correspond-
ent today.
Through publications divulging the
whole scheme the people became ac
quainted with the intentions of those
in the townaite business and made it
very interesting at the interior, and it
has been decided that some heroic
remedies should be applied to over
come the plans of the gang.
While the secretary early in the ad-
ministration fostered the plan of the
townsite fellows, under their direc-
tion, by deciding that the seventy al-
lowed to select land on the strip should
be allowed to make a selection
wherever they desired, he has been
confronted with the charitable c*pla
nation of the fact that he was led into
ambush and made the tool of fellows
having the scheme to work
It is also apparent to the secretary
that the people have been placed in
possession of the facts, and it would
be a lasting disgrace to the depart-
ment and the administration if he
should continue to permit himself and
the department to be used by the
townsite lellows. Observing the pro-
tests and being placed in possession of
the facts, he has concluded to make a
ruling that will defeat the townsite
fellows as far as possible.
In reversing the decision of solicitor
Shields, thus granting the privilege of
the blotters and their attorneys to
gobble townsites, he conformed to
what he claimed to be the law, but
which was denied by the outgoing offi-
cials. In order to overcome this he
has decided to make an arbitrary rul-
ing to the effect that he will not ap-
prove the allotment to anyone where
it is located within two miles of a coun-
ty seat, and will withhold the patents
to all allotments until after the strip
is thrown op^n to settlement.
This is done to enable others who
want to take land for townsite pur-
poses to do so regularly under the law
and save them from the competition of
the gang that has been so industrious-
ly working schemes. The ruling, how-
ever, while it is a hit at the townsite
business so far, does not reach the al-
lotments that may be taken for timber
and mineral purposes.
Also the secretary finds information
that Colonel Duncan, under the charge
of the townsite fellows, has been very
slow in the matter of making allot-
ments; that the Colonel has been influ-
enced by them and is delaying the
work, just as it has appeared in the
press. Being convinced at last of the
facts in the statements, he sent a very
important message to the colonel to-
day. It informed the colonel that if
he'did not complete the work of mak-
ing the allotments in one week anoth-
er man would be sent to do the work.
Inquiry was made why it has taken
him so long. It is thought this will
nerve the colonel to the point of ac-
tion and help him to liberate himself
from the combine.
The Swineford report was definitely
passed upon also by the secretary and
the commissioner of the land office.
It was decided that there should be
four land offices in the strip, located
as follows: Kildare, on the Santa le;
Pond Creek, on the Rock Island. Alva
and Woodard, on the Panhandle road.
It was also decided that the Beaver
office should be abolished and that ter
ritory added to the Woodard office, io
part of the strip is to be added to
either the Kingfisher or Guthrie offices.
It was decided to set apart a strip
100 feet wide on the nortn and south
sides of the reservation for the accom-
modation of settlers. This is for the
purpose of defeating land owners in
Kansas and Oklahoma, who have been
planning to sell rights to settlers who
want to get a favorable start. Booths
will be located on this reserve of 100
feet and opened ten days for business
prior to the date of opening the coun-
try to settlement.
The location of booths were ap-
proved as follows: Arkansas City, Hun-
newell, Caldwe'l. Kiowa. Lipscomb,
Hennessey, Orlando and Stillwater.
The matter of reserving lands for
educational purposes was also disposed
of bv setting aside section 33 in each
township. Two sections were asked
for by many of the leading men of the
territory, but there was some opposi-
tion.with the result of giving only one
section. The secretary abandons the
idea that the strip will be opened to
settlement on September 1. and stated
today that it could not be opened be-
fore the 15 th.
In the meantime Representative
Springer informed the correspondent
that he would introduce a resolution
in the house requesting the president
and secretary of the interior to apply
the lottery scheme for opening the
strip if it is not illegal, and in the
event it is decided to be positively ll
legal he will insist on holding back the
opening until a bill can be passed em-
powering the administrrtion to follow
this plan.
Without Information, They Think Tl.*y
Have Been Ila.lly Treated.
Hennessey, Ok., August 7. (Spec-
ial] Word reached here Saturday
that 150 persons at Kingfisher and - >0
at Guthrie were in line in front of the
land offices waiting for the strip open-
ing, believing that there would be no
new land offices in the strip, and that
all filing would be done at these two
points. Much indignation was ex-
pressed here, which took the form of
an impromptu mass meeting on the
public square. Speeches were made
by Hon. B. B. Smith, It- R- Gaskell,
Lee M. Gray and Major Withers con-
demning a ruling that would permit
such things to be done. One speaker
held that a sooner who entered the
strip before the proclamation is no
more a sooner than the man who gets
the numbers of a piece of land and
plants himself at the door of the land
office before the proclamation is is-
sued. Kesolutions setting forth the
above facts were adopted and sent to
the president and secretary of the in
terior, and in addition these two reso-
lutions were sent:
Resolved, That we most earnestly
request the secretary ofthe 'nU'r'°£
to name a date not less than five day s
after the date of opening of the land,
to settlement to begin tiling on same.
Resolved, That we urgently request
that the land office for the strip be
located in the Cherokee strip to the
end that unnecessary expenses and
hardships may not be Imposed upon
purpose of protecting them from such
practices and methods as have hith-
erto been in operation in opening
other territories for settlement
OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH.
Mr. Havens Denies Writing Letter Pub.
Ushed 111 the Kansas City Journal.
Guthrie, August 7.—Editor State
Capital; Recently, and during mj
absence in Chicago, the Kansas City
Journal published a Washington dis-
patch, dated July 29, and which was
copied by several territorial papers,
stating that -'Harrison E. Havens, who
at one time represented the Spring-
field (Mo.) district in congress, but
who is now living at Guthrie writes
an interesting communication for the
benefit of the commissioner of the
land office. He insists that the secre-
tary of the interior should set aside
two sections in each township to be
used for territorial institutions. ' etc.
Without now expressing an opinion
as to the wisdom of reserving lands
for the purpose indicated, 1 desire
simply to say that I never wrote such
a letter as that referred to nor author-
ized any such letter to be written. I
know of it and disclaim any responsi
bility for it. I have not assumed to
advise the commissioner of the land
office as to his duties upon this or any
other subject. Respectfully,
H. E. Havens.
Lowe Knows Nothing of 11.

hatred of the saw bucks. | ^
Secretary Smith. Lowe has bien
wired, asking if he will accept the
place. As no new territory wul^ be
added to the Guthrie land othce, it is
thought he will accept.
The above special to the Kansas! it\
Journal caused considerable talk on
the streets this morning. Judge Lowe
was seen at his office by the reporter
and denied having received any such
communication or having any know-
ledge whatever of the affair. It prob
ably originated in the fertile Imagina-
tion of the newspaper correspondent
LIVELY TIMES IN THE STRIP. ^
The Woolly T«*s « Kejjlment liaising II—1
With the Hay tankers.
Mr. A. H. DeWitt, the official sten-
ographer of the Cherokee commission,
arrived in the city yesterday an.l was
seen by the reporter this morning.
•The sooners and haymakers in the
strip," he said, "are exneriencing a
stormy time with the Third cavalry,
which has been there for a short time,
having been transferred from Texas.
Heretofore the Fifth cavalry has been
stationed there and they knew the
boys and got ulong with them pretty
well, having things about their own
way. |
When the Texas regiment was J
brought up there different methods
were adopted. The soldiers were fresh
from the banks of the Rio Grande,
where they had been warring with
Garza and his followers, and they
couldn't quietly settle down to the mo- .
notonv of camp life, but were more |
disposed to rush matters. Wherever
they find a gang of haymakers they
proceed t.) chase them out of the strip
at a breakneck gait and then return
and burn their hay an:l destroy their
machinery. They burned over 200
bales of hay for one man and smashed
up his mower, but he succeeded in es-
caping with his baler. They don t
have any monkey business in theirs,
these Mexican fighting Texans.
"The Cherokee commission has left
the territory for the time being. The
members will meet in St. Louis next ly
Monday to transact business in con-
nection with the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw leases.*'
As reported before, the Usages re-
fused to treat, the full-bloods opposing
it and the half-bloods all being in fa-
vor of it. Usually they all pull to-
gether, but upon this question there is
a division. Mr. DeWitt, however,
thinks there is a good prospect of be-
ing able to accomplish something with
them later on.

A Terrible Accident.
Kingfisher Times: Mr. W W. Klock
residing near this city, came into town
Monday to get some repairing done to
some of his farm machinery. As he
went home, his horses became fright-
ened at the whistle of a steam
thresher which was driving along the
road, and ran away, upsetting his
wagon, breaking one of Klock's
thighs, dislocating his shoulder, and
it is feared that he has received serious
internal injuries. Mr. Klock is one of
our leading citizens and has a large
circle of sympathizing friends. He is
at present at the Kingfisher hotel.
Bail Men.
Territorial Topic: Bud Smith, Char-
ley Plotner, and "Shorty" Wils.pals ol
the uotorious Henry Starr, were cap-
tured near Cherokee City last night.
Smith.while drunk.gave up the where
abouts of of his pals. A deputy mar-
shal soon had the bandits in jail.
About 825,000 was found on the men.
It is thought the arrest of these men
will finally lead to the capture of the
remainder of the Starr gang.

E. B. Mundy. county attorney of
Pottawatomie county, Is in the city to

Observer's Iteport for the
Ending August 7.
The average temperature for the
week ending Monday evening, August^
7 was 75 degrees, about 5 degrees be-
low normal. Highest, 102 degrees, at
Winnview, and lowest, 59 degreA, at
Oklahoma City on the 1st. The sun-
shine has been about a seasonable
average.
The rains which fell this week were
local in character and occurred in the
new western counties, the section
needing it the least. The drouth still
continues throughout central and
western Chickasaw nation. Crops in
this section are about all failures and
at present ranchmen are having much
trouble to get water for stock.
Throughout central Oklahoma tha
past week has been the most unfavor\
able of the season. It has been very
dry, doing much damage to late
orn. hay and potatoes. The present
indications for rain in this section are
excellent.
In the western section abundant
rains have fallen and late crops are in
excellent condition.
The weather in the eastern section
(Choctaw and Cherokee nations) haj
been warm and pleasant, somewhat
dry but nothing suffering to any ex
tent.
the crops.
Western Section—Over an inch o
rain fell here. Stubble ground i
nearly all plowed for fall wheat. La#
corn is doing well. Kaffir corn, mill
maize, cane and cow peas are makin(
magnificent growth. Melons in abun
dance and sweet potatoes ready fo
use.
Central Section—Mr. II. F. Melo'
voices the substance of our correspon
dents in this section lie says: Grouu.
too dry to plow, grass dying, tW
sooner cut the better; all late unma
tured crops almost ruined by drouth
farmers at present are threshing, an
in a few instances cutting corn.
Eastern Section—Reports are scare
from here. The principal crop is eo
ton, which has been doing nicely, hi
at present it is needing rain. Mine
crops are all right.
