COURT NOTES.
The trial of Hughes Wilkerson for shoot
ing with attempt to Kill is set in United
States court for trial tomorrow morning
This case comes from Oklahoma City and
grows out of land contest for valuable
tract of land adjoining that place. The
prosecuting witness is Asa Jones. at the
opening of that country a deputy United
States marshal. Jones and Wilkerson
both went on the claim Immediately after
u o'clock, noon, on the day Of the opening,
aud both are now living on the claim, al
though another party has been awarded
the tract by the local land Office. Jones
ana Wilkerson got into a dispute over
some blowing, and it is alleged that wiki
erson discharged shotgun loaded with
buckshot at Jones. One of the buckshot
entered Jones check and knocked him
from the horse he was riding.
The case is tried at Wichita because the
offense was committed before the passage
of the Oklahoma organic act, when the

ton over that section.
