were endeavoring TO alternate his
wife's affections. The letter was
not published in the local papers,
though it may easily be imagined
'twould make interesting reading
in Muskogee.

sentence.
While investigating the case OF
a man charged with selling mist
today, Judge Springer said there
is a disposition to evade the law
with reference to the sale of in
toxicants, and that the courts
were getting very tired Of tamper-
inc with individuals, and that
when some of the responsible par
ties charged with violation OF the
LIQUOR laws were brought into
court they would be dealt with in
a way that would put stop to the
business. -,
The jury in the f. NJ. Smith
case was discharged by the court
