der no authority of any law, as the Chloe
Jaw marriage law applies only 10 Choctaw

The defense was BASED on the ground
that the second ceremonies did not cunSti-
tute Il valid marriage Judge Bryant
charged the Jury that IN the Indian country
Indian laws were applicable only 10 Indian
citizens; that the common law had been ex-
tended by act of congress over all places

Saturday evening, tried to bolster up its
position by criticising the developments
at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen

what il said some weeks since why did it
not have a representative present to
testify TO its knowledge OF the "facts" it
so glibly wrote about?
The statement of Councilman White
was open and above board in every par.
ticular, and he was ready to be subjected
to any cross-examination that any per-
son desired to put him to. The allegation
that he made no effort to prove that the
price was reasonable is another statement
that the facts do not warrant, as Mr.
White stated positively that the price was
reasonable for what the land contained.

voted for It's purchase and only one OF the
twelve has since said that he was not pre-
pared to do so over again il the oppor.
