LANNON'S VS.. Palmer OIL Co.

There were several cases in this
term of court in which the Lany ons
aud the Palmer Oil Co. came together
Judge Stilwell rendered his decisions
yesterday in two which have attract
ed general interest,
The Injunction which the canyons
served on the Palmer Co. to prevent
the latter from drilling wells on the
tract where the new smelter is going
up was set aside. In case the Ian
yons appeal, which they have done,
and carry the case to higher court
within 80 days the injunction con-
tinues in force. This case grew out of
the controversy over the smelter land
at LaHarpe belonging to the Ian
yons.
The other case was that of Mrs. q.
II. Hackney against the Palmer Oil
Co. to set aside lease granted to the
latter by the formers mother. This
case was ~ rare and dainty mOrsel OF
law such as the lawyer delights in.
1t seems that Mrs. Hackney's mother
had life interest only, in piece of
land in the center of the gas region
near Lab arpe. She leased the land
to the Palmer Co., and Mrs. Hackney
brought suit on behalf OF all the
children, to have the lease set aside.
The court held that a person having
merely life interest in property
could not bind the real owners to any.
thing, and go the lease was cancelled.
The Palmer Co. at once began pro.
ceedings to carry the case to higher
court.
The oil and gas interests of the
county are of such magnitude that
they have attracted men of means
here and the people generally can sit
back and watch the battle. Both
sides are good lighters and good
stayers and the contest Will be
pretty fight,

Mr.. Davidson was appointed secretary by
Chairman Caldwell. of the Western Pas

week after the arrival of Mr.. Davidson.

elected him permanent secretary Of the

As to the number Of Jews at present Hv-

tics are attainable, as the government does
not classify the population by religions in
the enumeration for the decennial census.
But more or less careful estimates have
been made from time to time. from which
Mr.. David Sulzberger. of Philadelphia, has
compiled an approximate statement Of the
growth Of our Semitic population From
estimates made on the authority of the Rev.
Mr.. Gershom Mendes Seixas in 1872. it is
inferred that there were at least 400 Jews
in New York at that time. Thu Jewish

whose committee reported in 1s17 a total
population Of is. 756, and in 1880 a total
of $50, PSI. In 1888. according to Isaac Mark

and 1900 of which landed on these shores

resolutions criticising the secretary, which
were unanimously adopted.

found a tailor on the floor below his Office
in the Lyceum building and engaged him
to repair the rent. the secretary in the
meantime working in his office in his un
derclothing. He locked the door Of the
associations room, and a few minutes later
a woman with a charity permit appeared.
These permits must be Endorsed by Secre-
tary Davidson before they are honored by
the railroads. The woman remained at the
door awaiting the return of the secretary
whom she supposed to be out. The picture
shows Mr.. Davidson standing on a chair
in an effort to ascertain whether the wOm-

Mr.. Davidson accepted the criticism OF

was given and asked each member of the
local association to name his favorite bev-
