club Women.


The Chatapqup Cirelels a new
woman 5 club in chickasha, and
etarts off with a good membership,
and good aim. The aim of the
Chatauqua is TO have a clubroom in
the business part Of town and there
have free reading room. a very
commendable object. and while the
main object IS TO cultivate and en-
courage literary and scientiic'rer
serch the other object Of maintain
ing free library will prove. feat.
ure that will give lustre and history
to this club that will be Of great
benefit to the public. eN
The SorosIsl is the other club
woman's society, and has the pres
tige of three or four years standing,
and whose object and aims are about
the same. There is plenty of room
for both. The Sorosis has had one
aim, outside of its literary career, IN
creating a park for the city-a
breathing spot of green grass, trees,
flowers and perhaps lake, a spot
where all could go for a breath Of
fresh air, and quiet rest without
the expense Of going to the woods,
something that all cannot afford.
The object is worthy and we hope
TO see the Sorosls take hold OF 1T
this year with renewed vigor.
AS said before there is plenty OF
room for both, and plenty of ma
terial for both societies, and plenty
Of work to do, and each can build
its monument, not OF polished
granite, but in park that will last
longer in the mind Of the people,
and in free public library that
will be a pride to the city, and an
honor to the founders and promot-
ers. Build the "Sorosis Park
build the 8 ''Chatauqua Library and
write the courage, the industry and
the wisdom OF Chiekasha's women
as the founders of each.

THIRD. Many Of the witnesses for the
state have also joined in urging a dis
naIssal Of the case, for the reason that
the county has been fully reimbursed
ia the amount of the shortage, that the
defendant has been sufficiently punished
and that further prosecution would
avail nothing.
1t will be observed from the foregoing
that the reasons urged against further
prosecution are, that the defendant has
been sufficiently punished, that he is an
old man, broken in fortune and in
huence, that the county las been re-
imbursed in the full amount of the
shortage and that the people generally
do not favor further prosecution.
There is perhaps merit in some Of
these contentious. The defendant has
doubtless felt keenly the force of retri-
butive justice, EMO punishment can be
more severe than the consciousness OF
having to pass the closing years OF his
life under cloud; the prestige he once
enjoyed is gone and he will probably
never again occupy places OF trust where
he will be tempted to commit crimes. I
/! do not understand the purpose OF our
criminal law to be to wreck vengeance
upon the wrong doer bat rather to pun
ish offenders of justice with intent tc
| turn their errnp foot stems into the
paths OF rectitude. Ii this has been ac-
complished in the case of this defendant
| if it be true that he has been sufficiently
punished, if it be true, as the commiss
ioners say, that almost all the large tax
payers of the county and the citizens
generally wish the case dropped" then
there is no purpose in the further
/ prosecution of the case. At all events
with the influence at work against a
second trial of the case, with the com
missionerg hostile to further prosecution
with defendants bondsmen and State
witnesses urging dimissal conviction
of the defendant is extremely improb
able, and the trial would only result ia {
large expenditure oil the public funds
l believe therefore the interest of I'll
concerned will be best subserved by
dismissal Of the case. | therefore asl
that the case be dimissed without pre-
judice and that the defendant be dis
charged

\. -On july 26th, 1897, Information was

diction.
The evidence on the trial OF this case
I,esta5ished the facts that the defendant
while county treasurer Of Teton county,
during the months Of January and Feb
ruarytl897, appropriated $53l.20 Of the
funds OF Teton county to his own use.
The evidence of his guilt is conclusive,
What he appropriated the fxnas to his
own use, those most active in his behalf
do not deny, that he appropriated the
said sum with the intent to steal the
same is evidenced 10y the fact that
he sought to conceal the crime by mutil-
ating ard destroying the public records.
While the evidence is overwhelming
against the defendant, circumstances
have arisen since the trial which forces
the conclusion that further prosecution
