TWO STORIES OF JURIEs.

One Of the Tucker jurors, who was

eleven others had compromised, told the
following story in the criminal court
room ten minutes after the verdict was
returned:
Years ago an elderly and brusque
jurist from Sanduslfy used TO hold dis

The strike season of the year is upon
the country, and reports come daily of
occurrences of that sort, embracing
almost the entire industrial calendar.
And the excuses therefor are almost as
numerous as the events. The prime
reason for such breaks, whatever the ex-
cuseS given, IS that at this season labor
can remain idle with less Inconvenience
and suffering than at any other. o,
course this Is a circumstance in favor of
that side, but it IS Also the season when
most industrial enterprises are run on
expense, owing 10 a general lsxity Of
trade, and when operators can least
afford TO increase wages. This being
the case, to strike on that account at
this time is certainly short-sighted

THE FAMOUS ADAMS-COUCH CASE.

The famous contest over the claim at
Oklahoma City, over which Captain
Couch the celebrated Oklahoma boomer
lost his life, and for which killing
Adams, the original claimant to the land
is now serving 7-year's sentence, has
just passed its first stage in the line of
legal contest. The case was tried before
office and his decision was rendered
Tuesday evening. This is but the first
STEP The case will be carried up to the
tribunal of last resort. Following is a
brief resume of the trial and decision
just rendered as published in the Times
Journal of Wednesday morning:
The register and receiver yesterday
announced their decision in the famous
Adams Couch Higgins Waynick- Daw-
son-Moore Lewis West Oklahoma case,
which is in favor of John IL. Dawson.
This is perhaps the most noted case in
the territory The fact that it was
selected by the leader of the boomers,
Captain Couch, attracted attention to
the claim, and year later when Adams
shot Couch the interest III the case was
heightened. COUGHS death, and Adams
two trials have kept the case before the
public up to the present day. When in
terest was tagging little the people of
west Oklahoma make a couple OF invaS-
ions, finally succeeded in gaining a foot
hold, which vantage ground they have
held ever since.
Couch was sooner. and was contest
ing on the ground of prior settlement.
After his death numerous motions were
made and appeals taken TO secure Mrs.
Couch the same standing IN the case as
that held by her husband. She was,
however, obliged to drop out aRd come
IN as last contestant.
Mrs Waynick went into the case upon
an agreed statement 20 the effect that
she was a sooner. and got on the land
next after Adams.
Adams admits his presence IN the
territory too soon, and claims first settle
ment, fact not disputed by any OF the
other contestants
Higgins claims TO have ridden from
the east line after Doo7, but the pre-
ponderance Of testimony, so the register
asserts, shows that he started at Il
o'clock. a number of witnesses swore
that they called to him :hat be was go
ing In too soon, buI he replied that be
proposed 10 have hcnae.
Lewis and Morgan made default and
were dropped from the case.
Dawson came upon the claim much
later than the Others, several days hav
ing elapsed from the opening Al At
tempt was made to prove him a sooner
also, but The preponderance of testimony
Is on the other side.

The following excerpt from the Spring
field Democrat is commended to both
Democrats and PopuIists in Kansas, as
containing suggestions worthy of serious
consideration and adoption by both:
Fusion is always followed by disrup-
ton. Governor Buchanan of Tennessee
was backed in his election by the Demo-
Gratis and Farmers Alliance, and after
the election he forgot all about his
Democracy. So it is that he is out of
the party altogether. Better TO lose
straight than to win with a rank out

1.-THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
Claim That Boy First Sang 1t In the
Streets of Baltimore.


In Lossing's Pictorial Field Book OF
the War of 1912" it is recorded that
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" was first
sung in restaurant in Baltimore next
door to the Holiday Street theater by
Charles Durang to an aSsemblage OF
patriotic defenders Of the city, and
after that nightly at the theater. This
statement is slightly inaccurate, and
though it is one of no great historical
importance it involves matter OF suffi-
cient interest To justify a correction
The first person to sing that spirited
song-which, though given a foreign
air and commemorating single epi-
sode in our country's history, has filed
millions of American hearths with pa
triotic emotion-was lad twelve years
of age, the scene of his childish effort
being neither a restaurant nor a thea
ter, but the street in front of Capt. Ben
jaInin Ede's printing Office In Baltimore
on the second day after the lombard
ment of Fort McHenry. 1t is worthy
of record, too, that the person who first
''set up" the song and printed it and
distributed it to the citizens of Baltimore
was also boy-an apprentice of Capt.
Ede-the whole thing being done while
the gallant captain was still out of the
city with his regiment, the Twenty-sev
enth Maryland infantry, which three
days before had acted with conspicuous
bravery at the battle of North Point.
The name of the apprentice boy, then
seventeen or eighteen years old, was

The reasons assigned by the president
in his objection to the bill passed by
congress comforting on the United
States court of claims iurisdic-
ton in contested land patent cases, do
not indicate much of the plutocrat or
sympathy for plutocrats as against the
poor homesteader. BY this manly and
just act the president has undoubtedly
saved to many a poor settler the home
he has secured through much privation
and toll, which homes would be lost if
wealthy contestants were permitted to
carry the cases to the court, thus incur
ring expenses the poor settler could not
