HOPKINS NOT IN CONTEMPT.
Judge Burf0rd, at Guthrie, Renders q Dc.
clslon DiachafgiHg from Custody the
Territorial Auditor.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. "a Judge Bur.
ford yesterday rendered his decision
in the Hopkins contempt case. Ter
ritorial Treasurer Hopkins was ar.
rested last week and taken before the
upper house Of the legislature
and adjudged in contempt for
refusing to comply with q sub.
p9na duces tecum served upon him
by order Of the investigating com.
mittee. The case was ably argued and
taken under advisement until yester.
day, when Judge, Burford rendered his
opinion, discharging the auditor. The
court held that as the legislature OBJ
tanned Its existence and powers from
the congress of the United States, and
as the organic act of the territory did
not vest the legislature with judicial
power, judicial functions were neces-
sary before the legislature could pun.
lsh for contempt or any otfense.

VICTORY FOR MISS SMITH.


Kansas City. No., Feb. e4.-Ths
Smith Lowry breach Of promise trial
the most remarkable case ever tried In
the civil courts of this county, came
to an end Yesterday, when DR.. How
ard ). Lowry's lawyers confessed judg.
ment in open court for SIS, 600, the full
amount sued for. The jury, under the
instructions Of the court, returned q
verdict without leaving the jury box,
awarding MissMartha Smith judgment
against DR.. Lowry for S35. 900. The ju.
rors said, after they were discharged,
that they agreed unanimously
after hearing the love letters read that
Miss Smith was entitled to verdict
for all she sued for, and they would
have given it to her. The next step in
the case will be that the lawyers for
DR.. Lowry and Miss Smith will get
together, probably to-day, and
try to agree on compromise of the
Judgment. Miss Smith will proba bly,
agree to accept $4,000 or SIS, as a
full settlement
Mr., Karnes, one Of DR.. Lowry's at.
torneys, said: Our reasons for con.
Tossing judgment were pretty fully
stated in what | said to the court.
There is nothing further to be said on
that point So far as the S25. 900 judg.
ment is concerned it amounts really to
no more than IS, 900, because DR.. Lowry
is worth not cent more than $1,000,
and Miss Smith cannot get more from
him than he has got, any more than
she could draw blood from turnip
OF course, under this Judgment she
can take all he has in the world"
