Parish Site Decision.
JUDGMENT RENDERED By SUPREME couRr

No. 1O,766, State ex rel Police Ju-
ry ct al VS.. Judge Second Judicial
District Court. Application for
mandamus. l. Act SO of 1883 con.
ferred powers and imposed duties
upon the police jury of Bossier to
elections touching the location of the
parish seat, and to ascertain and pro.
claim the result of such elections
and gave to its declaration and proc
lamation the effect of ipso facto es-
tablishing the parish seat at the
place so proclaimed to have been
chosen.
2 The police jury is, primarily, the
judge of the nature and extent of it's
powers aud duties under the law.
and no person or officer is compe-
tent to question or reverse its deter.
mination except by an appeal in
proper form to the judicial power.
Until reversed by such authority. its
determination must be respected.
3. The declaration and proclama-
ton by the jury of the result of the
election as being in favor of Benton,
had the effect under the law of max
ing Benton at least the de facto par
ish seat, and although it's de iure IL
tie may be in dispute in pending liti-
cation, its de facto status must be
accepted and recognised until the
question is finally settled.
4. 1t is of vital public interest
that parish should have a parish
seat which should be fixed and Ger
tain. If the action of the police jury
has been in accordance with the law
the parish seat of Bossier is at Ben
ton. It had powers to act, it has
acted, its action can be set aside
only by judicial authority or issues
properly framed, and until SO set
aside every person is bound to re-
spect it.
S. 1t is the clear duty of respond
ent to hold the terms of his court
at the parish seat, and he, in com
mon with all others, is bound to ac-
cept the action of the police jury fix
ing Benton as the parish seat until
judicially annulled and set aside
Mandamus peremptory.

The Washington Real Estate Ring

Amongst the enormous steals that were
put through the billion-dollHr congress, was
that for the benefit of the Washington real
estate ring, in which quite 4 number of dis
tiuguished Republican members of congress
were interested. This was called the Rock
creek park. The facts are that the real es-
tate men have purchased, northwest of the
city, large tracts of ground, which they pro-
pose TO turn into villa sites for the
wealthy residents of the capital The sue
cecded in having Massachusetts avenue ex-
tended ana graded into their property And
then they concluded it would DE a nice
thing to have a fine park on Rock creek,
which flows between the city and their pur-
Chases. \ commission was appointed to
locate this park, and lately another com
mission has been taking the value Of the
property included in the prescribed limits
One man who owns seventy-four and half
acres, which was valued at $3.50 an acre, or
Sll, l45, had nearly thirty-two acres included
III the park, and this he valued to the gov
eminent at $1,000 per acre, total of $63. 654,
nearly six times the estimated value of his
whole tract, of which he retains consider
ably over one-half, and that would be in
creased in value 200 or 800 per cent.
The Democratic house can do no better
thing than to stop this enormous steal.

WASHINGToE, Sept. 5-There is no

careful statement showing that the yield
Of wheat is from l70000,O00 TO 200, 900, 900
bushels below the average, and OF rye from
33O,OOO,O0O to 400, OO0,0 900 bushels. Rye IS
one Of the leading bread products OF Europe
and Is used much more extensively in Ger
many, Austria, Hungary and Russia than
wheat. Russia, which usually exports q
large amount of rye, has forbidden any fur

SpeclaI 10 Inc gazette
TAuLEQUAH, l. T., Sept. 5.-The death-bed
confession of Jack Cochran at his home on
Grand river, west Of this place, cadds an
other instance TO the many sad mistakes of
the law. and shows where another innocent
man paid the extreme penalty and guilty
man went free.
Here are tie facts in the sad case as best
your reporter can obtain them:
On dark rainy night about six years ago
a SmOthered pistol shot was heard in the
upper part of this city. The night was
misty dark. but within fifteen minutes a
large crowd of curious and excited citizens
We're looking upon the dead body of young
man named Arch Terrell, who had been shot
through the brain by an unknown person
behind him. Some said the fatal shot had
been fred from outside the house through a
three inch crack between the logs of the
house, while others claimed it had been
fired from within the building. The three
inch crack was thsre but there was no sign
of powder-burn, and nothing more could be
proved.
William Grimett, q good-looking half
breed Cherokee boy was lying inside the
house just behind Terrell when he was
killed. Grimett said the smoke from the
pistol passed just above his head. where he
lay behind Terrell. The assassin. whoever
he was, left no clew. In week, however,
young Grimett was indicted and week
later tried for Terrell's murder
Terrell had many friends. So had Girl

Col. W. p. Boudinot, one Of the best Grim

prosecution was conducted by equally as
good talent. Both sides did heir best
