A CurIoua Shoe Trunf-

Doylestown has four odd characters
who pool their issues in buying shoes.
They all have the same sized foot. and
each regards this fact In the nature of
a libel perpetrated upon him by the
other three. Every year each one of
the quartet chips in SIS. and the fund
or SI2 is expended for shoes. Buying
them in such quantities there is natu.
rally a reduction in price. One would
think that there would be an equal dl-
vision of the shoes, but that isn't their
little game.
The shoes are owned collectively.
share and share alike, and when not
being worn they are kept in a closet in
the express Office. which is the general
lounging place of the quartet. IL one
man wants TO wear new shoes, he goes
to the express office and puts them on.
III he wears russets in the daytime and
wants to wear patent feathers in the
evening, he goes to the express Office
and makes the change. They have
been doing this for several years and
claim they wouldn't wear shoes in anv
other way.-Philadelphia Record.

lmporfant peclsIon.

News was received here today
that the circuit court of appeals In
st. Louis has rendered decision
i'm the case of the Ct. G.. & ). r.
railway VS.. Clark appealed to that
court from the Territory court OF
appeals, reversing and remanding
the case and ordering new trial.
This case arose at Purcell and
has created considerable interest
in the outcome by reason OF the
peculiar facts in the case. Clark
brought the suit in the district
court at Purcell and secured judg-
ment against the company for
about $500 damages alleged to
have resulted from defendants
building dixie or levy which turned
the water so as to overflow or wash
away a part of his farm adjoining
the river near that place. The
lower court held that the defend
ant company. even though it used
due care and diligence in the con-
struction of said dixie or levy, was
liable Notwithstanding for any
damage which accrued to plaintiff
therefTom.
The Santa Fe company appealed
and the decision of the lower court
was affirmed by the court of ap-
peals sitting at South McAlester.
The company then took the case to
the circuit court of appeals at St.
Louis, with the result above stated.
The ground for the decision is not
yet known but it is presumed that
the case was reversed on the point
contended for by the company all
through the litigation-that theil
liability is limited by proof of neg
ligence.
Four other cases, one of which
is now on trial at Purcell, are in {
manner dependent on this decision
as the facts are the same
The costs which the plaintiff vii
have to pay under this decision ar,
said to amount to about $500.

A Bow Preacher Here

Master Metz Joiner, an S-year-
old boy from Durant, is here and
will preach at the First Baptist
church tonight. At Sterrett, in
the ChOctaw nation, a protracted
meeting has just closed at which
he was the attraction, and twenty
seven were converted. Speaking
of him the Sterrett Banner says:
Rev. Kuykendall of the Baptist
church, who is holding meeting
here this week, has the little boy
with him and they take it time about
preaching. We will melton few
points in his character that seem
most remarkable. In the first
place he has the utmost self-pos
session, and that, too, without any
ostentation. His manners, both
in the pulpit and out of it, are per
fectly childlike. In the second
place he is quite original, and his
little sermons are full of unique
thoughts expressed in forcible Ian
gnage and he presents them with
singular effect. Remember that he
is only eight years old and rather
small for his age. But he has a
line well developed head for one of
his age and very expressive gray
eyes. He is very earnest and i'm
pressive In the delivery of his SER
mons, and sometimes, in his child
lsh way, grows quite eloanent.

the TRIBAL TAX DECISION
viii Probably Not BE- Hade by Judge
Townsend.

AS stated in the ARDsIoRElTE re-
Gently. the collection of the tribal
taxes on citizens has ceased,
pending decision as to their legal
ity. Much interest has been man
ifested in the outcome of the suit
filed by eight citizens of Davis to
test this question as it involves an
immense amount of money as yell
as the taxing power of the tribal
government.
A decision was expected at the
April term of court in Ardmore,
but from information received yes
terday we learn that Judge Town
send will not .pass upon the case
as an agreement has been reached
whereby the questions involved
will be submitted to the secretary
of the interior for decision and his
ruling thereon will probably be
final
In this connection we will state
that some injustice has been done
Judge Townsend by statements
that he is opposed to the collection
of this tax. He has never express
ed himself on the proposition
otherwise than to say that it should

Horse Instantly Killed,

The Bellig brothers, Frank and
John, OF Nunedia, had narrow es-
cape from death while crossing the
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
at Catawissa. early Monday morning.
They employed every precaution pos
slble to avert an accident, and stopped
short distance above the crossing to
listen for approaching trains. Not
hearing any sound, they proceeded to
cross. Scarcely had the horses
stepped upon the roadbed of the track
when freight train crashed into
them. One of the horses was killed
instantly, and the other was badly in
jured. The wagon, too, was reduced
to splinters. 1t is almost impossible
TO see how the two men escaped, but
they did, and emerged from the wreck
without scratch upon them. This
crossing, which is on the western ap,
proach to the new river bridge, has
always been regarded as dangerous.
1t is without a watchman to warn pc.
destrians of impending danger, and II
is great wonder that there are no,
more accidents. 1t is up to the au-
thorities to DO something to remove
this menace to life.
