United States on their way from Russia
to Palestine only long enough to take out
American papers and passports. OF the
other 92, nearly all have come to Jeru-
salem because of some peculiar religious
belief The one idea which seems to pos
sess them all Is that there will be a sec

take place in Jerusalem. Some of them

MANDAMUS DENIED.
MesSrs. Kearney a Wyse Again Victor
IOus Over the Liverpool a London
a Globe Insurance Company.

After the great fire of April
10, Kearney & Wyse, failing to
gain a satisfactory settlement
with the Liverpool & London &
Globe Insurance company on
theirloss, brought suit for the
full amount of their policy. The
case was tried before Judge
Kilgore and the plaintiffs were
given judgment. From this
verdict the company appealed
and a mandamus was asked for.
The court of appeals at South
McAlester yesterday refused
the mandamus, thus leaving
judgment Of the lower court in
full force and effect. Messrs.
Kearney & Wyse were heavy
losers by the fire, they have
lain out of the use of their mon
ey for a year and a half, and it
is with pleasure we are able to
state they are in a fair way to
collect that which they should
have had many months ago.
