.THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1889.

States Marshal Jones, of Kansas, in regard to the conduct of himself and deputies upon the opening of Oklahoma to settlement. Ilo says that he thought he appreciated the influx of population that would follow the rPresident'a proclamation, and that he knew that the people could look to the civil authorities only for safety and protection after April 22, when the functions of the military authorities ceased, and consequently he attempted,, and he thinks successfully, to organize a force of marshals at different points where it was supposed there vonld be a concentration of people, sufficient to preserve them from lawlessness and bloodshed, which it was expected would follow the opening of the Territory. Marshal Jones says: "I ordered from my old experienced deputies, four to Guthrie, Captain Karrick, A. 8. Payne, J. O. Seveerens and M. S. Keys, together with three new appointees at that point, to protect the home-seeker against lawlessness, from and after that critical moment, April 22, where had been stationed two or three companies of United States troops to preserve the peace, up to that date, whose functions ceased at the very moment when the greatest difficulties were likely to occur, and when the thousands of home-seekers, business men, gamblers and whisky-dealers who rushed from the incoming train and private conveyances, until -within twenty-lour hours the entire face of the country was dotted with homesteader's tents, and two or three cities of from 1,000 to 15,000 inhabitants, born in the day, proved to me the necessity of a respectable number of deputy marshals. "At Kingfisher I ordered John Walters, D. F. Wyatt, old deputies of experience, and a new man, Ed t Madden. At Darlington. Fort Kenot I made no change, leaving Jack Stillwell in charge, who had been a local deputy there for three years, and at Oklahoma City I ordered J. 13. Koonce, Asa Jones and Ewers White. I also had at that point O. E. Thornton, who had resided there for over a year, and who was appointed a marshal six months ago. Koonco had been a deputy for over three years, and Jones was appointed last January. At the request of the officer coinmandingthe troops 'at Alfred for a marshal to capture horsethieves, I appointed a couple of deputies and sent them to that point They were 'old experienced deputies from the Western district of Texas.. "I also appointed, at the request of an officer of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, eight of their employes, most of whom were conductors constantly pas- ' ing through the Territory, in anticipation of lawlessness on the trains. The full number of deputy marshals in Oklahoma, appointed by me, is nineteen, besides the eight temporarily appointed at the request of the railroad company. I believe that a few of my deputies have attempted to rile

oat I know xnanv of them have not. and while I instructed them not to do so, when they saw themselves surrounded by from 500 to 700 persons at Guthrie, and at least one-half that number at Oklahoma, waiting for the hour of 13 to come. I do not wonder that some of them, deputies who were serving -without pay, and only there in the interest of good order, took the fever ind attempted to get a home. As to myself. 1 never attempted to homestead a foot of land either in Oklahoma or any other Territory or State." In a postscript Marshal Jones says: "Tho country is absolutely quiet in Oklahoma, and I am astonished at tho false reports of bloodshed circulated by the papers. There has not been a single person killed by vioIsnsa 4n rnof rTTi ryT oinA OA j- f ASAAJ AAA UU A A A A W A W Oilivv viAV MU Anril." The report is dated May 9. It is under stood that the Attorney-general is not sat' isfied with the report, and that he will call npon the marshal for a supplemental report, giving the name of each officer who tiled a claim, and a description of the land referred to by him. together with an ac count of the attending circumstances.
