of acquittal. This case was a
somewhat celebrated one in that
the defendant was alleged to

Blanton Young, of this city,
in the same court, had q dam
age suit against the A. 7. & s.

to trial, was compromised by
the company, paying him $3.50.
The Bealer case was on trial
when Mr.. Cruce left. Bealer is
the Wynnewood banker, who
failed about six months ago and
who was indicted by the grand
jury at Pauls Valley on a charge
of fraud. He obtained a change
of Venue to Purcell.
