ON this subject of section

STATEMENT.
This is an. action 'of ejectment
brought BY the plaintiff against the
defendants. Ii was tried by a jury
and verdict was rendered by the
jury tor the plaintiff for the pos
session Of the premises, and for
damages amounting to SlO5 A
motion for new trial was fled
and oyerruled, and a judgment was
entered upon the verdict tor the
possession of the premises and for
damages. The defendants except
ed and prayed an appeal to the
United States court OF appeals for
the Indian Territory. The appeal
was granted and the defendants
were allowed sixty days in which
to prepare, present and file a bill
Of exceptions. Thereupon the de-
PENDANTS flied with the clerk OF
this court snpersedeas bond for
the purpose of staying the writ of
restitution until the court OF ap-
peaIs shall have finally passed up
on the right of plaintiff to the pos
session Of the premises. The
plaintiff, by his attorney, now files
a motion to suppress that superse-
IDEAS bond and for Immediate exc
cution, to place the plaintiff IN pos
session of the premises.
OPINION.
Springer, judge. This motion
involves the question as to whether
in cases Of this kind the
judgment for restitution may
be superseded or held in abey-
ance and the parties-defendant
allowed to remain in POSSESSION OF
the premises until the courts OF
appeals have finally determined
the rights of the parties in the
premises.
In order to understand the ques-
tion involved fully it is necessary
to review, to some extent, the leg
islation of congress upon this SUBJ
iect. Chief Justice Taney of the
supreme court of the United States
in the case Of Aldridge VS.. Will
liams, reported in the 5 How,
page 8, said in that case, that the
court would not consider the mo-
tives or reasons or opinions ex-
pressed by individual members of
congress in debate 10 order to en-
able the court to properly construe
. statute, but that the court would
look, If necessary. to the public
history of the times In which it
was passed. AS in that case, SO in
this. 1t is necessary for the court
to look at the public history of the
times in order to determine the in
tention OF congress in passing the
legislation upon which this mo-
tion depends.
About ten years ago congress in
stituted measures for the purpose
of purchasing from the Cherokee |
nation what is known as the Cher /
okee outlet, an area of land con-
sisting Of about six million acres
lying west of the Cherokee nation |
proper. A commission was ap-
pointed under an act of congress
Tor the purpose of making an
agreement or treaty with the Cher
okee nation looking to the pur-
chase Of this land as the outlet.
The second article OF that treaty is
as follows:
ssFor and In consideration of the
above session and relinquishment
the United States agrees:

JokinE with an OmciaI

They tell good story about an attache
of the courthouse on Leavenworth street.
Two jokers began '-monkeying' with his
telephone the other day, disconnecting it
and otherwise bothering the official.
Shortly afterward one of the jokers called
up the officials from another office and in
troduced himself as being the chief opcr-
ator at the central Office. For heavens
sTke see what's the matter with your tele-
phone up there" he gruffly spoke to the of
fetal. "Whatever's the matter l don't
know, but your electric current is flowing
like mad into the central office there and
there's about an inch of it on the floor al
ready" The official grew pale with fright,
and he rushed into the. Office of the two
iokers. Nov you've done it, he began to
fume with sincerity. The main office has
just called me up and says that on account
of your blamed fooling the electric current is
submerging the central office, and the girls
are quitting work. Come in here now and
fix that up" The two jokers expressed sor-
row to the official, went in and pretended TO
tighten a screw and then went down Gel
lar and took turns in having spinal menin-
gltls.-Waterbury Democrat.

Riot in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 16.-Penn av-

the scene of a riot which threatened
for time to result seriously, but for
tunately no fatalities followed. A
traction car struck and horribly man.

years of age. While the dead body was
being taken from under the car a crowd
of several hundred, principally Poles,
gathered and became so incensed by
the sight that they attacked the motor

of lynching them. The timely arrival
of the police prevented serious results

PROTECTED FROM eHouLs.
The Grave of Mrs William C. Whitney Is
Guarded by Powerful Torpedoes-
Why 1t Is Done.

New York, May i6.-Under the
wealth OF dollhouse flowers adjoining
Mrs William c. Whitney's grave on
hilltop overlooking the Little Neck
meadows, the freshly turned earth is
sown with powerful torpedoes. The
coffin is hemmed about with them, and
the ghoul who undertook to strike his
spade beneath the surface would invite
swift destruction. One story that
seems to be purely gossip is that the
body is decked in valuable Jewels
and that word has been received
of a conspiracy to desecrate the grave
for them. There is an impression that
apprehension exists of an attempt to
steal the body and hold it for ransom,
as was done in the case of A. 7. Stew
art. The cemetery is a lonely place
and the robbery of grave there would
be simple matter if no precautions
were taken. Mrs Whitney's coffin
was not laid in vault, but in the
ground alongside the grave of Capt.
Randolph, her first husband.

Foot-Ease Trade-Mark SUSTAINED.

Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court, Buff
falo, has ordered a permanent injunction,
to issue against Paul B. Hudson, manufac-
turer of DIR. Clark's Foot Powder" and
also against retail dealer of BrooklyR, re-
etraining them from making or selling DR..
Clark's Foot Powder, which is declared, in
the decision of the Court, an imitation and
infringement of "Foot-Ease," the powder
for tired, aching feet to shake in your shoes,
now SO largely advertised and sold all over
the country. Allen S. Olmsted, of LIE Roy,
n. Y, is the owner of the trademark Foot
Ease, and he is the first individual who
ever advertised foot powder extensively.
He will send sample Free to any one who
writes him for it. The decision in this case
upholds his trademark and renders all par
ties liable who fraudulently attempt to
profit by the extensive ''Foot-Ease" adver-
Using, in placing upon the market spurious
and similar appearing preparation, labeled
and put up in envelopes and boxes like
Foot-Ease. Similar suits Will be brought
against others who are now infringing on

1t may be interesting TO note the fol-
lowing statement of mileage OF the New

1t is, of course, generally known that
some of the Western lines have great

something of that kind:"
Yes"
Perhaps you don't blow through the,

I've done that dozens of times, and it

This, however, was the remark he made TO
himself. What he said to the customer was
that it needed about five dollars worth of
repairs.-Chicago Tribune.
