DOUBTLESS WORTH THE MONEY
witness ut Newkirk Fined S25 for Cussins
an Attorney.

Perry, o. T., Feb. 25.-The celebrated
case of the Territory VS.. T. NJ. Richard
sen. Jr., ct al, on the charge of receiving
money in bank while in failing condi-
,icn. is now on trial at Newkirk on a
change o; venue from this county, and
at the trial yesterday several unique fea-
lures developed themselves. The ques-
ton was ra sed for the first time on a mo-
ton to set aside the indictment on the
ground that at the time the bill under
which tie indictment was found became
a law, so-called, ii was not passed by
the house and II was said that by mis-
take /: was engrossed Ia that condition
and wen. to the governor and was sign
laws Of the territory, During the exam
ination OF Fred W. Farrar of this city
by Attorney Howard Of Oklahoma City,
he was asked a question that reflected
upon Mr.. Farrar's brother, and quick as
a flash Mr.. Farrar called the surprised
s.torne..' liar and prefixed the same
with a very expressive adjective and
followed II with three more words still
more reprchensible. In moment sew
eral attorneys were on their feet trying
TO quell the storm which had 50 sudden
ly arisen. Nr. Farar apologized 10 the
court in a few moments and the court
told him II Ne had not apologizsd he
would havc been fined $3.50, but as II
was ha would only be fined So. Several
other cases against he bankers are pend
ing and viii no doubt come On for trial
after this case closes.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The house is
evidently drifting on toward final adj

tire appropriation bills have been sent
to the senate. Final action was had on
both the agricultural and army bills to-
day, and a bill was passed to clothe
postoffice inspectors with the power Of
United States marshals in the matter OF
making arrests. Quite Unexpectedly. late
in the afternoon, the banking and cur
rency committee brought forward the
bill 10 authorize national banks to take
out circulation to the par value OF the
bonds deposited. The bill was bitterly
opposed by Mr.. Walker. chairman of the
committee from which il emanated, and
there was a lievely debate, but the bin
was passed, IA to 46. A resolution was
unanimously adopted requesting the
president to transmit to the house all
correspondence on file at the state de-
partment relative to the imprisonment
of American prisoners in Cuba.

MONTREAL Aug. 1o.-George Herrick Duggan
has been officially named as the representative
OF the Royal st. Lawrence Yacht Club in the in
ternational races. The first race on Saturday
will be over a stralghtaway course, a beat Of
two miles to windward and return, which will
be sailed over three times. The Mono and
Glencairn II. have both been measured. but the
figures will remain u secret for some days to
come. 1t can be announced, however, that both
boats are within. the limit. and eligible for the
races. Those who have seen the two Crane
boats. and have watched them sail, are of the
opinion that they will give to Duggan
q good run for his money. One interesting
feature about the two yachts that no doubt will
race Is the difference in weight. The Glencairn,
It can be stated on good authority, is between
800 and 400 pounds lighter than the Mono.
though evidently every bit as strong. II was
not originally the intention, so 1t is stated here,
TO have the Mono SO heavy, but it seems that 1t
was impossible to obtain wood OF the i%ightness
called Tor in the specifications.
The exact space to be used for the course has
not yet been decided upon. but the races will
take place not very far from the place where the
trials were sailed last week.
