Judge Tarsney, in an interview the
other day, said: Cotton has come
to be the greatest crop in the terrific.
ry. We are a little too far south for
wheat and corn, and the drouth often
spoils the grain crop, but cotton and
fruit are becoming the main products
and the greatest source of revenue to
the farmers. They are raising great
amount of Kaffir corn in Oklahoma
now, and the growing of this cereal
promises to become, next to cotton,
the greatest agricultural pursuit in
the territory" Hs t-
There seems to be . difference Of
opinion between the three district
judges of the territory with regard to
change Of venue from one district to
another. Judge Lewis Of the central
district and Judge Kilgore of the south.
ern district hold that change Of ven.
uc cannot be taken outside OF the dis
trict in which the indictment was
found. Judge Springcs takes the op-
posite view and has sent number Of
cases to the South McAlester court TO
be tried Mt the next term. United
States Attorney j. w. Horton holds
the same view as Judges Lewis and
Kilgore, and has notified witnesses
not to appear.
One of the most remarkable cele.
