remaining burglar Mr.. Garrett was fired
on several times. and lies at his house

After being shot he made the fight so hot
that the remaining burglar ran under the
bed. Mr.. Garrett dragged him out and
threw him from the window. 1t is
thought by some that he, too, is dead
somewhere in the neighborhood.
Two hats, two pistols and a lot of bur.
glars tools were left in the room. After
all was over Mrs. Garrett went in her
bare feet about half a mile to neigh boris.
Officers are securing the country with
shotguns. No one hiss recognized the
dead burglar, white man. Two suspi-
cious looking characters were seen making
their way up the railway toward Guthrie
this morning. They may be making
their way TO Nashville.

defendant 8 general demurrer in the
case of A. j. Clark and others against
Patrick urlong and others. The action
is TO recover 1886. so for work done and
materials furnished in constructing
well. The main point of the demurrer
was that the law does not give right
of lien for work and material used in
digging a well, because it is not
structure" within the meaning of the
code. Defendants counsel argued that
a structure was something built up, and
could not be mere excavation in the
earth. Judge Waymire did not think
the law should be SO narrowly con-
strued. ''As the statute is in favor OF
labor, which it is the policy OF the law
to encol rage and project, the construc-
ton must be liberal The section OF the
Code under consideration expressly
