TRAINS TOO SLOW. CATTLE MUST GET TO GRASS MORE RAPIDLY.

Guthrie, O. April 23. (Special.) So many cattle trains have been running through here from Texas points lately that a lull in that traffic has attracted attention. Irv an Interview today a prominent stock man very frankly stated that the Texas cattlemen had boycotted the Santa Fe people for the simple reason that their stock trains are too slow. He said the superintendent had issu-d m-struotions that no cattle train should run faster than twenty-four miles an hour, and this did not suit the stock nun, for, owing to the raw condition of the cattle when shipped, it waa necessary that a speedy run tu grass be made; otherwise heavy losses were inevitable.

He also said that Texas cattle are now being shipped over the Rock Island and Missouri Pacific and Texas roads on trains running thirty-four miles an hour, which jn a run of ten hours amounted to 100 miles gain. This, he said, was the cause of the sudden dropping off of traffic on the San ta Fe route. OKLAHOMA DAY OPEXIXG OF THE TERRITORY FIT- TIXGLY CELEBRATED. Guthrie, April 23. (Special.)

THE M'COEHICK MURDER. Judge Kilgere Takes Prompt Action and Instructs The Grand Jnry to Prevont Yio lence at All Hazards. Ardmore, April 23. (Special.) Marshal Stowe is in receipt of information from Davis that on Tuesday night about twenty male residents of that place arming themselves, waited on every ne gro In the place and notified them to leave town within twenty-four hours under penalty of mob violence. Acting on this Information Judge Kil ore had the Grand Jury brought before hmi and gave a strong charge on the subjects of mob law and intimidation, and instructing a vigorous investigation, sparing no pains for expense to arrive at the true state of affairs.

Marginal Stowe has sent for witnesses to appear instanter before the Grand Jury. It Is learned that the negrces are in fear of their lives and that many of them have taken the advice of the vigilantes and departed for other places. The complaint comes from some of the leading business men of Davis, and they condemn the action of those engaged in the work of intimidation. They say the negroes there are, as a rule, quiet end inoffensive and are entitled to the protection of the law. In thfe, Judge Kilgore and other court officials concurred and they will give the matter a careful investigation.

The present state of affairs is the outgrowth fthe murder of McCormick last Saturday night, which crime is supposed to have been) committed by the negro, Frank Brown. Judge Kilgore's charge to the Jury was as follows: Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: You have been summoned into court that I might lay before you a matter of serious and paramount importance to the law-abiding public. It has just come to my attention that a band of armed and masked men arj making a crusade against the colored people In and about the town, of Davis, and ordering them to leave the country at once. The pretext for this outrage is that only recently a foul murder was committed in that community, and it is supposed the killing was done by a negro. The Grand) Jury and the officers have shown commendable promptitude in hand, ling that case, and the alleged perpetrator of the offense is in jail under indictment.

I want to admonish the Grand Jury that such outrageous acts of violence by a mob, however respectable they may be, and whatever pretext they may claim to have for such conduct, will not be tolerated in the Indian Territory. There may be room for this sort of thing in Texas or Arkansas, or elsewhere, but there is no place for it here. The life, liberty and property of the negro is as so-cred in the eyes of the law as are those of the white man, the highest in the land. Xo man is so poor or humble or insignificant, but what he is entitled to the same protection the law eseords to the loftiest. Xo man is below the law and no man is above the law, and the sooner that idea firmly fixed in the minds of the people, the better will The recent killing in that neighborhood could hardly be used as a pretext, for the airest and indictment of the man charged with the ciime, within a few days, was sufficient to admonish the public that the iaw would be enforced.

It 13 scarcely possible for me to express the Indignation I feel over the report of the conduct of the mob there. I want to say Mot Hlpassistance in prepar-ll I Ul ing the system for the change which it IVL4UII undergoes at this season of the year. The sluggish, impure condition of the blood causes general disorder, resulting in a lack of energy, loss of appetite, and general debility. A few bottles of S.
