judge Thomas nav Be Removed.
A Washington special to the
South McAlester Capital says:

A Washington special to the
South McAlester Capital says:
1t is intimated that Judge John
r. Thomas, one of the judges ap-
pointed under the present adminis-
tration in the Territory, may be
removed from office. During the
past year Judge Thomas has made
himself most officious in giving
advice as to territorial matters
which did not come within his ju-
risdiction. It is claimed that the
failure of the Greek nation to en-
ter into treaty stipulations with
the government is directly charge
able to Judge Thomas. 1t is
charged that he not only denOunc-
ed the Curtis law as uuconstitu-
tional, but so declared in a letter
to the officials of the Greek nation,
which letter was subsequently
printed by thousands and distribu-
ted among the Indians. 1t is held
that United States Judge has nc
! power or lauthority to interfere in
matters not judicial, arising in the
Territory, and the matter will
shortly be brought to the attention
of the President and the Depart
ment of Justice with the request
of the Interior department for his
removal. Other and similar
charges have been made which
seem to be well sustained by the
facts, and if Judge Thomas re
tains his place on the bench ht
will at least be called upon Il
change his course, confne his at
tention to his own affairs and pay
less attention to questions ovel
which he has no control and ha:
: no right to give an opinion. 1t il
also intimated that the judge il
mentally unbalanced. !"

Special to the Ardmoreite.

Wynnewood, 1. T., Jan. 21.-
Quite novel incident in Wynne-
woods history occurred here last
night. The city marshal made a
general raid on all the gambling
houses of this place confscated
all the tables and paraphernalia be-
longing to the occupants of the
rooms and burned the same public
ly on the street. The owners of
the property took the matter very
quietly and seemed to enjoy the
turn which affairs had taken as a
practical joke.
This is the first act OF the kind
under the municipal government
of the town and much discussion
is going ON about the matter. II
takes every class of men and wo-
men to make city, and Wynne'
wood cannot rise to city of i'm
