mildly ObleCtln8 To the Scheme.
Guthrie. o. T.. Sept. 14-(Special)-
Justice in some of the lower courts of
Oklahoma is a bit lop-sided. Some
say the only difference between Okla
homa courts and those in the east is
that the eastern courts are not so frank
about il.
AS an instance Of the queer workings
of justice in case comes to light at
Okarche, where man is adjudged III
sane on the suspicious that he Was a
thief
D. c. Wells. carpenter who resided
in Okarche for sometime, but for the
past two years has been holding down
a claim in Blaine county has been sent
to the insane asylum. Some time ago,
he was adjudged insane but was al
lowed to remain at h:me.
At times he became very violent and
was up to all kinds of mean tricks. 1t
is said that he would go ii his neigh
boris pasture and turn their stock on
TO his place, and then charge for TAX
ing them up, and also for damages
done to his crops. His neighbOrS
stood this for some time, but at last
came to the conclusion that there was
too much method in his madness and
went before the judge that pronounced
him insane, and informed him that if
he intended to still hold that Wells was
insane, he must send him to the asy-
lum, and If he'd did not, he should show
he was sane and they would see that
he was looked after. The judge said
he was not sure that Wells was insane
but he guessed it would do him good
to visit the asylum for a time, and he
sent him there. His wife and step
children took the team and other be-
longings and left.
NEW WOMAN AT YUKON.
The new woman has made her ap-
pearance in Oklahoma and she wears
revolvers. OF her advent at Yukon
the local paper says: Two women
and two men alighted from a wagon
which halted at the public well early
Tuesday morning. The men turned
their backs to the gaze of the curious
ly inclined observers while the wo-
men proceeded to pump water from the
well for the team they were driving.
One of the women wore the regulation
mother hubbard dress, fastened at the
back. While exerting herself at the
pump handle a stiff breeze Embossed the
locuSt-like garment and exposed to the
eyes of the onlookers huge brace of
trusty 45-calibre guns strapped TO her
waist under her dress. Without any
perturbation Of mind or apparent dis
turbed equanimity OF manners, she
closed up the aperture of the garment
and went about her business as though
nothing had transpired. The reporter
was anxious to interview the quartet
up to the time this incident transpired,
blu concluded as he was as yet unac-
quainted with the new woman" and
her ways, he would not insist upon it,"
DELAWARES GETTING RICHER.
The little tribe Of Delaware Indians
in the western portion of the Cherokee
nation, the remnant Of a once powerful
and dominant race in the east, have just
come into great luck. In a couple Of
weeks they will receive about s220, 900
cash in consequence Of judgment Of
the court of claims at Washington in
their favor. And this piece of good for
tune is only a continuation of a series
Of windfalls that have dropped into
their pockets during the past five or
six years. A little over year ago they
received from the government a little
over 100000 in cold cash, from trust
funds lying in the treasury, and short
ly before they received other large sums
and these together with property they
ready money in hand, will make every
man, woman and child of them worth
$1,000 per capita. This happy little
band of Delawares numbers only 754
persons.
