MUSKOGEE COURT NOTES.

Deputy Ansley came in Monday
with ten prisoners.
Section 5, Of the act establishing a
court here vas construed by Judge
Shackleiord to mean that all ofienses
not capital or punishable by hard la
Dor, must be tried In the Indian Terri
tory court.
The case OF the US. VS.. Mcdonald,
ct. al, was called at ll;00 a. m, and
Col. Porter had the honor Of being the
first U. s. juror ever called to try a
case in the Indian Territory. To the
astonishment of all, it was found that
out OF the thirty-six jurors present
there were only three who were COM
petent to try U. s. citizens. The law
requires that U. s. citizens shall be
tried by such.
On Tuesday Deputies Salman and
Rusk arrested John Allison for selling
whisky. The bar united aud obtain
ed writ Of habeas corpus, returnable
Wednesday at 2:O0p. m. Considerable
interest is being taken in the case as
it calls in question the right of the
Fort Smith deputies to arrest persons
charged with such ohenses. Rusk tel.
egraphed the Fort Smith officials con-
cerning the matter.
June Srd found our little towns
streets thronged with people who came
TO see the court open. Attorneys. ju-
rors, clients, witnesses and spectators
tramped too and fro all day long.
Night came on and then a rush was
made for quarters, but alas, they were
Confronted by a condition, not the
ory." Long before noon all tho hotels
and boarding houses had been filed TO
their utmost capacity; night found at
torneys and others resting their weary
heads on downy stones, drawing over
them the blanket Of consultations.
Promptly at 1000 am. of the third,
court was called. Phoenix hall was
filled in one minute. The court ap-
pointed committee TO consider the
applications for admission to the bar,
many applications having been filed.
At 200 pm. the committee reported,
recommending the admission Of twen-
ty-six. The court ordered the jury
called and all answered to their names
save two. The attorneys were then
called upon for motions and filed at
least twenty-five, the most Of which
were to quash service on account Of,
the June term being illegal. The pros
ecutor fileda motion for a grand jury
and submitted long brief of authori-
ties. This motion was granted and
grand jury was Immediately summon
cd to appear Tuesday morning at 900.

ChIldren's Day at Pheasant Hill.

Children's day was observed at
Pheasant Hill May 10Th. The ample
platform OF the church was gracefully
frlnged with vases Of FLOWERS; q wreath
OF roses and green sprigs extended
from one side OF the house to the
other, back Of the platform, go curved
as to form inches for the emblematic
figures OF cross, anchor and harp, OF
moss and roses. Tall stalks OF corn
occupied the corners OF the pla tforu,
while long trailing vines festooned the
windows and chandelier. From the
latter came the songs of beautiful
canary, echoing the joyous songs of
the children and the strains of the
organ. The whole was beautifully and
tastefuliy arranged, roses being prom
inent among the flowers.
The church was crowded at an early
hour and promptly at 1890 a. m, Miss
"A. o. Bodine, the self possessed teach
er, took her place at the organ. Amer
few warning chords, striking into
familiar march, the children one by
one without either undue hurry or de-
lay. marched to their appointed seats
on the platform, their rose-girt bower.
There we're represented all ages OF
girls and boys from the tot Of five
years to the maiden Of sweet six
teen, all orderly, self reliant and
prompt to respond to the organ signals.
Through the whole performance not
a single.blunder or jar occurred. The
day was emphatically a "children's
day" The songs, responsive readings
and recitations we're by the children,
supported by only few adult voices
In the chorus and responses, and a
short address by Rev. Chamberlin.
Their singing, from the opening song
OF welcome to the one of farewell, was
delightful.
After responsive reading ending
with. "suiler the little Children to come
to me-" two infants were presented
by their parents aud received the rite
OF baptism, after which the school
sang "Gather the Children in" The
whole reflects great honor on Miss Boz
dine, the teacher and manager, and
proves the school worthy Of increased
patronage.
The exercises we're one hour and a
half In duration and we're finished all
too soon.
The large number Of infants In the
congregation proves that Pheasant
Hill has future.
Services closed with the sing
ing OF doxology by the school
and congregation, followed by the ben
ediction. En.
