A New Departure,

AT the last term of court at this
place Fred Barringer, with a num-
ber of others, pleaded guilty to
selling some kind of a malt prepar-
alton and was sentenced to six
months Imprisonment and the pay
ment of a fine. The sentence was
suspended during the good be-
havior of the defendant.
Thursday, Mr.. Humphreys of
Purcell, assistant district attorney,
appeared in the city and caused
the incarceration of BarriHger on
the ground that he had violated
his promise to abstain from the
sale of intoxicants, and alleging
that Barringer was connected with
one of the joints doing business
here. 1t seems that an affidavit
had been filed by some person, to
the public unknown. charging these
facts, Judge Grigsby, who repre-
sents the defendant, went to Mr..
Humphreys and asked to be per-
mitted to examine the complaint
against his client. Mr.. Humphreys
promptly and emphatically told Mr..
Grigsby that the information was
private and that he would not be
permitted to see it. AT this time
Barringer was in Jail to be dispos-
ed of by the assistant district at
torney as he might choose.
1t is suggested by some of the
lawyers in town that this proceed
ing is a little startling.
Mr.. Barringer was released from
custody yesterday morning, by or
der of the assistant district attor-
nay.-Chickasha Gazette.

A Mysterious Package

A couple of lads several days
ago found a mysterious bundle in
the weeds at the south end of
Cherokee street near Coody's creek.
The bundle had been thrown over
a fence into a field and on exami-
nation was found to contain COM
plete outfit of female wearing ap-
parel- under clothing and all.
The garments were of excellent
quality and finish, but were thor
oughly bloodsoaked and gave out
strong odor of chloroform. How
the bundle came there is a mys-
tery yet unsolved. The find was
at once reported to the police but
they have been unable to make
anything out of it. Various con-
lectures are rife concerning the
bundle, the popular one being that
it may be a clue to a foul crime
which yet remains to be revealed

Advice to a Young rIan.

Hearing of the phenomenal sue
cess made by Leonard Imboden
before he got into trouble with his
Planters bank scheme, young
man with a few thousand dollars
to invest went TO the county Jail
at Kansas City the other day to
ask Imboden's advice.
Oklahoma, especially the strip
of territory east of Ell Reno, is the
place for young man with a few
thousand dollars, - was the coun-
sci of the man who has made two
or three fortunes in his brief
career.
With S. 900 an alert young man
can easily make from $3.50 to $3.50
a month there. 1t would be my
idea for him to go into a small mer-
camille business. groceries or hard
ware or something, and make small
loans on the side. 1t is foolish
for young man of ordinary energy
or ability to stay here in the city
and slave himself to death on a
salary of $40 or 800 a month,
when he can easily and honestly
make three times that and be inde-
pendent. Are there chances here in
Kansas City? No; not with a
small capital. 1t wouldn't be
worth while to go against the com
petition here with less than $25, =
900 or $50, ,00O."

stance said that he had commenced
work on this case previous to the
request from Secretary Hitchcock
and that he had secured consider
able evidence against the attorneys
in question. The letter from the
secretary however gave him fur
ther insight into the case. He re-
piled to the secretary at length
and in answer to his communica-
tion the department sent a man to
the territory who has been investi-
eating several cases the past few
weeks. The departments action
was ali unknown to the parties =,
and Attorney Wilkins and the
gentleman from Washington has
succeeded in working up a case

the attorneys who have been thus
engaged.

Against Individual Rights.

Pittsburg. Oct. 31.-An important de-
cision was handed down to-day by
Judge White 1'of the county court
against labor Unions. The case was
one which caused a great deal of com
ment in labor eireles all over the coun-
try. c. L. Flairus, a glass manufac-
turer of Tarteum, Ohio. brought suit
against the officers of the American
Flint Glass Workers union to prevent
them from inducing the apprentices of
the plaintiff to join the union. The de-
cision holds that the plaintiff has a
right to operate his factory independ-
ent of the union and that the defend
ants have no right to persuade his ap-
prentices to become members of their
organization. Referring to alleged
rules of trades unions which prevent
a young man from learning a trade
without the consent of the union, the
judge says:
Such rules and regulations of these
trades unions strike at the first prin-
ciples of personal liberty in free
country: they are oppressive and they
are tyrannical. They are palpably un-
just to individuals and dangerous &c
the peace and good order of society
