AN IMPORTANT CASE.

An important case is on trial in he dis

Ike S,rn Live Stock association and
George b Thompson of Joplin, Mo, are
plaintiffs and the Kansas and New Mexico

SIC 600 damages alleged to have been sus-
taiued by one of the plaintiffs, Mr.. Thomp
son, through the failure Of the defendants
TO comply with certain contract invoiv-
ing pasturage in the Cherokee Strip.
Somewhere sbaut 1883. when the Chero.

1870 he had not as much

about 200 bead of cattle belonging to a
Texas rancher. Still he had pasturage for
several thousand head of cattle. Some

New Mexico Cattle company were looking
for suitable pasturage, and mutual

more head of cattle belonging to the Kan

tract. it appears, was never fulfilled, and
hence Tia suit. The reason the Cheokee

half of the University course being given
by Professor Blake The attendance was
considerably increased by a number who

the estimate fully 500, and it is earnestly
hoped great many will avail themselves
of the six lectures remaining, thus doing
good thing for themselves as we'll as help

means of the vibrations of the air arising
from some vibrating body, as the vocal

"A brief exposition of the theory of sound

The official canvass of the votes cast at

tbirty-seven precincts to be counted, in
which some changes NAV occur. The
most interest is being taken in the case OF

that the vote for that oilice is very close.
The case of the district clerk is very criti-
cal also, and while Mr. kies has no fears
