Electric Light.

Another argument in the electric
light mandamus case was made before
Judge Winchester Saturday Attor-
ney Hughes appearing for the relator
and J. F. Philbrick for the city. The
matter of the contract and franchise was
argued, Attorney Philbrick holding that
the franchise could not properly be
granted by the city, in that it was be-
yond the powers of the council, being not
a public but a private enterprise; that 1t
was indefinite, unreasonable and vague;
that it was not q franchise but a license,
such as the city wa not empowered to
grant. Other matters were argued, Cen
eral Hughes sustaining the legality of
the franchise and the sufficiency of the
enactment. The case was continued to
next Thursday, when the concluding
arguments will be made, and a decision
rendered the last of next week.

Ardmore, I. T., April 19.-Almost
the entire business portion Of this
city was wiped out by the flames
this morning. Yesterday Ardmore
could boast of being the largest city
in the Indian Territory with more
than $50 business houses, among
which were many two and three
story brick buildings. To day they
are a smouldering mass of ruins,
from the stately bricks to the cheap
board houses. More than eighty
business houses in the hear. OF the
city on Main and South Caddo
streets were wiped cut by the flames.

Live-bird shooting is favored by many
men over the clay bird, because the latter
is too cheap a pastime and does not afford
the same kind of excitement.
Be this as it may, the time is not far dis
tant when live-bird shooting will play Sec
ond fiddle to the artificial, which, as a
means of enjoyment, should be good
enough and difficult enough to satisfy the
most exacting.

there is an element of brutality in live

Live-pigeon shooting may be a grand
sport for the professional, but for the anna
teur artificial-bird shooting is certainly a
better and more appropriate form of sport.
The professional pigeon shooter will
argue that SO far as brutality is concerned
there can be no line of distinction drawn
between pigeon-shooting before the traps
and quail or duck shooting in the field.
