pecial to the Gazette
Paws Tex April 20 The orders of the
department requiring the removal of in-
truders in the Chickasaw Xation which was
made known here yesterday exclusively by
TnE Gazette was at lirst received with
incredulity by the large number of in-
truders in attendance on the Federal
court here then they treated it with hilar-
ity and bombarded it with jokes but as it
was borne in on thcin they began to appre-
ciate the gravity of the situation and mut
tered curses succeeded the previous loud
joke They are in the attitude of the man
who stakes all on one card and sees the
other win or whose eggs have all gone to
chaos in the smash of a single basket It
was only under the influence of the order
and the defiance they lirst save it and the
forebodings afterwards expressed that the
curtain
WAS lArTIY RAISED
and outsiders got a glimpse of the many
plans afloat to grab and hold the Indian
lands and on the wreck of a defenseless
peoples rights rear their own structures
Well see Mr Xoble later There
are 10000 of us and his squadron of cavalry
wont be a patching What can Lee Ben-
nett and his Indian iHlice do e are
there weve got the laud and we are going
to keep it
But it was mildly suggested Ieo
Bennett and the squadron of calvary mean
the United States do you mean you will
stand the government off
Oh well Bennett and the squadron arc
only make believe theyll prance around
and maybe run out a few poor devils but
theres too much behind this intruder move-
ment for expulsions to ever amount to
much
AXU SO IT RAX
And in their brag they told too much
More than wiser heads would have let out
It is no doubt a fact that there is much
behind the intruder movement and that
much is relied on to pull wires in head-
quarters and put a stop to this foolish-
ness before it passes beyond foolishness
as one phrased it Every place of specula-
tive character is numbered among the in-
truder element the man with a town site
scheme spying out localities with influen-
tial friends outside pushing up the de-
nouement and waiting for the profits down
to the poor devil who has an idea that a
free farm will come his way They are all
waiting to spoil the red man And it hurts
to think they may havo to walk out and
take pot luck on opening day with the bal-
ance of the American people Congress-
ional and senatorial names were mentioned
freely and so to speak as silent partners
and helpers at need We will see later on
how much truth backed their bluster

a young man in Careys store When Bill
Hudgins was shot and captured by Deputy
Marshal John Swain the watch was
found on his person and identiOed Jby the
loser who also stated that it was not his
but belonged to a young lady living at
Fred and proposed taking it to her This
however Swain proposed doing himself
and so met the owner Miss Susie Kyan
The meeting thus brought about led to a
pleasant acquaintanceship which merged
into a warmer feeling and now Miss Susie
Kyan is Mrs John Swain

the mob as a disgrace to himself his offi-
cers troops and entire army
The grand jury has been summoned to
inquire into the tragedy

attorney received what they regarded as
authentic information that a plot had been
laid by the soldiers to kill Policemen Ames
and Jones two gamblers Tom Holbrook
and Ben Tyler and to demolish two gam-
bling houses When tho facts were made

that no enlisted men be allowed out of the

pleted a journey of over miles and

ule time Not the slightest accident has oc-
curred on the whole trip

at Mechanics pavilion closed at It oclock
last night President Harrison accompanied
by Mayor Sanderson and Gen Kuger en-
tered tho carriage and drove to the Paaeo
hotel where tho ladies and other members
of the party had preceded them
A crowd was in waiting outside of the
pavilion and when the president stcpied
iuto the carriage deafening cheers weio
heard from all Mdes
The progress of the carriage was slow
the streets being almost blockaded When
the hotel was reached tho crowd remained
iu the vicinity for some time longer in the
vain hoie of catching another glimnse of
the president but no amount of cheering
womu muuee mm to uecnuic once more visi-
ble to the people on the streets The hotel
was
REAfTIFULLr DECORATED
for the reception of the distinguised guest
and his party Passing beneath the bread
arch of New Montgomery street entrance
the national colors could be seen floating
from every point of vantage Within the
court was a brilliant and beautiful scene
It was bower of ferns and flowers and
plants
Above the electric lights that studded
the walls scores of American Hags
were draped forming a bruht hcavily
foldcd curtain to the bilcony Each
pillar of the first gallery was hidden in a
drapery of ferns and smilax in which nes-
tled bunches of piuk roses
Strikingas was the decoration of the court-
yard it was but an introduction to the
REALTIES OF THE APMITMEXTS
reserved for President Harrison and his
party Tho reception room on the first
floor was the most gorgeous Hun-
dreds of tiny electric lights stud-
ded the ceiling and paneled
walls and flashed and gleamed upon tho
rich colors of the apartment upon white
and gold frescoes upon costly massive fur-
niture and heavy tapestry The air was
heavy with the fragrance of roses and
liner
Spanning the northwest entrance was a
huge lioral shield of California woven
in bright flowers In either side
was two immense barrels of
marigolds Down the sides of the
door and over the arch were entwined
branches of grapes and between the sprays
nestled scores of oranges One of the most
beautiful tributes in the room was raised
above a door in the northeast corner It
was a model of the United States cruiser
sax ruAxci ro
The hull was of blue violets the masts
were of smilax and the yards were formed
of La France roses In the midst of the
little vessel were smokestacks of violets
Scores of other floral designs were to be
found in the room
In the rooms of President and Mrs Har-
rison some of the most beautiful floral
pieces ever made in this city were placed
the largest to Mrs Harrison being a bed
of La France roses fully five feet in diame-
ter bove it were two horns of plenty
made of panzies and roses Surmounting
the whole was a huge crown of La France
roses Baskets of roses were also prepared
for Mrs McKee and Mrs Dimmick
The apartments of Postmaster General
Wanamaker were unique There were
letter carriers satchels
FILLED TO OVEKnOWIXO WITH ROSES
Stretched across the walls were innumer-
able letters and papers bound by yards of
red tape Postage stamps feathered
lens and much of the insiguia of
the department peeped here and there from
beneath the flowers In one corner a floral
lamp iost with a letterbox attached rose
to the height of seven feet Great palm
leaves waved iu corners of tho room and
countless roses of every huo were scattered
in nooks and crevices or adorned furniture
