PECULIAR LAW POINT.
Cen q Man Escape Paying AIImoay ~ he
10 Bankrupt7


A special dispatch from Atchi-
SON has this to say with regard to
the John c. Buffers bankruptcy
case. the petition in which was
filed with Bankruptcy Judge Wall
recently.
A remarkable law point hinges
on garnishing proceeding recent
ly carried to the district court from
the local justice court. On June
6, 1898. Mrs. Ermina c.. Buffers
was granted a divorce from her
husband. John C. Buffers, a local
coal dealer. She was granted the
custody of her two minor children
and the court decreed her $40
month alimony for the mainten-
ance of the children.
Buffers went out of business
and went to Arkansas City. Kan,
some months later, and in a short
time married again. He never
paid any part of the alimony, and
a few weeks ago Mrs. Buffers
brought suit against her former
husband for $2S3 accrued alimony,
and the A. T. aud S. f. company,
in whose employ he was, was garn-
ished for the wages. He made ap-
plication to have the garnishment
released On the ground that he
was the head of family and all
his wages, and his petition was
granted. The case was appealed
to the district court and Buffers
applied for release from all his
debts under the bankruptcy act,
and he has been declared a bank
rupt. The law question which
will now come up in the garnish-
ment case in the district court is:
Can man by proceeding in
bankruptcy relieve himself from
the duties he owes to the state, in
maintaining his childreni"

CHocTAw TOWNSHIP WORK.
The Apprslsment of the Lots Very Low.
Atoka VIII Be Next.

AVOka VIII be Next
At last the work of the townsite
commissioners at Sterrett, Choc-
taw nation. has been completed;
that is, completed up to the point
where the lots are ready to sell,
and the work finally closed up.
Yesterday morning the townsite
commissioners received a telegram
from the interior department at
Washington stating that the town
site plat had been approved by the
secretary of the interior, and the
work might proceed on the ap-
praisement of lots.
Accordingly the work of apprais-
ing improved lots was begun and
now all that part of the work is
finished, and in readiness for the
sale of town lots, which will take
place some time in September.
The appraisement of the lots was
done satisfactory to all parties
concerned. and the price on resi-
dence lots was set at $15 and $35,
and the price on business lots at
from $50 to $50. This is on i'm
proved property. The price on
unimproved property has not been
fixed, and is not fixed by the com
mission, but such property brings
whatever price is bid on it at the
public outcry.
The townsite commission is vir-
tually through at Sterrett now, all
but the sale of lots, and on Satur-
day it will pack up and move to
Atoka, were they will begin work
on the tOwnsite plat, that being
the next town to plat and lay out.

A Destructive Gun.

Secretary Root and Maj. Gen.
Miles left for New York to attend
the meeting of the board of ordin-
ance and fortifcatiOn at Sandy
Hook. While there Secretary
Root will inspect the Notifications
and witness the tests of several
guns and probably the Isham shell
gun which will engage his parti-
cular attention. This will be the
new mountain gun constructed by
the Maxim Nordenfelt company.
Secretary Root is very much inter
ested in this gun. 1t is construct
ed for transportation on mule-b back
and is designed for firing a twenty
pound shell filled with bursting
charge of the new explosive which
will set fire to buildings and huts.
1t is probable it will be utilized in
the Philippines.

THE LOTION CROP.
At Present q Half Crop or Less Seems
All There Is In sight.

All There is In Sight.
The alarming condition of the
cotton crop is the grounds of many
rumors, some of them very high
colored. The Denison Herald fur
nishes the following very conserv-
ative article on this all important
question:
A correspondent of Price, Nc
Cormick & Co., a big cotton firm
in New York, was asked to send
that firm an advice as to the crop
condition in north Texas and the
Indian Territory. He reported
that unless there is a general rain
over this section in a few days
there will not be exceeding half a
crop. He reports the conditions
must be very favorable or the crop
will not reach the dimensions of
half crop. This is a very liberal
estimate.
Farmers who have been inter
viewed all express the; sentiment
that the present crop Will fall be-
low half a crop. Some of the
most conservative farmers, who
are not calamity howlers as to crop
conditions, who know the condi-
tion of the crop thoroughly, and
who always give their honest
opinion as to conditions, say that
it might rain now for a week, and
still not benefit the crop sufficiently
to make it over half the yield of
last year. They say that the hot
winds and long-continued drouth
has done the work for the plant,
and it is such a sickly, failing con-
dition that there is no hope for it.
These estimates are gathered from
the ultra a-conseryative men, who
know what they are talking about,
and who would not misrepresent
the situation. Their estimate is
that the crop, at best, will not be
half a crop, and agree that rain
would damage it as much as ben
eft it, so that rain would not cut
any figure with it one way or an
other. There are others who take
more desperate view of the case.
They say that from one-fourth to
one-third a crop is all that can be
expected at best, and that the crop
will be nearer one-fourth than one
third yield.
The general tendency of the
market is to be upward if the esti-
mates on the crop made recently
turn out to be too high, and at the
present time it seems that the esti-
mates made by all parties are far
too high, and that there will be a
decided advance in price within the
next three weeks. 1t will probably
be best for the farmers to hold all
their cotton till the truth of the
situation that there is unquestion-
ably a small crop dawns on the
market manipulators.
