CHILLOCCO RUNNERS STATUS
Second Thought ON the SupremeCOu
Decision Finds Nothing Alarming.

Guthrie, O. IT, March 9O.--A close
reading of the recent decision Of the su-
preme court on the matter Of the Chilloc-
co runners in the opening of the Cherokes
Strip, dictates that the decision IS net
as alarming as some would make It
There are those who are versed I'M, law
who say that the decision touches tonly
on the question of injunction. They Nod
that it means that the injunctions wig IN
a large number of the Chillocco rung hers
obtained are illegal. 1t means thatl II
a large number Of cases claim holders
obtained injunction against their contest
ants, restraining them from making i'm
provenents on the land. 1t so happened
that a large part of these injunctions,
were secured by those who made the run
from Chilocco and that instead Of the
claims. the injunctions are Illegal
On this point the Oklahoma City Times
Journal says: "The Geographic reports
as TO the scope of the decision in the
Cherokee Strip land cases are IN error.
The United States supreme court did not
pass upon the qualifications Of those
who made the run for claims in the strip
from the Chilicco and Usage reservations.
The court passed only upon the right to
adjudicate claimants interests in posses
sion of the tract prior to the issue Of the
patent. The territorial supreme court, by
Dale Scott & McAtee, in 1898, held in
Scott vs.. Durland that a, mandatory writ
Of the Injunction would lie in an action
by the homesteader to secure possession
OF the lands covered by his homestead
o. oil
succeeding courts, fully fifty cases having
been passed upon by the territorial SUI
preme court, and hundreds by the district
courts of the territory. The supreme
court of the United States reverses this
decision and declares thar the rights of
possession cannot he adjudicated until
the patent issues. The ruie is also laid
down that the qualifications of the Chill
l0cco runners cannot be determined ex-
cept upon a suit for possession begun II
ter the patent issues. another interest
Jag rhose comes up in connection with
this decision. The supreme court declares
that the right to possession cannot be

PEOPLE WILL DO IT ALL
Beautiful Ideal of Fusion Based on
the Ealf-anh- Half Idea

Guthrie, o. T., March Embarrassing
the plan Of the Democrats and Populists
Of Kay county to effect fusion by nomiI-
adng a ticket in a convention in which
the delegates will be divided numerically
equal between the two parties, the New
kirk Herald an advocate of fusion, says:
After thoroughly discussing the various
methods of political cooperation, the
plan finally adopted is to hold a joint
convention, each party having an equal
number of delegates. There was no d.
vision of offices made, but the convention
will be thrown open TO every Democrat
and Populist in Kay county DESTROYS OF
entering the contest for office, the best
man to win out. This is fusion, pure and
simple. The question of fusion had been
referred first to the people, and by them
endorsed. Now the distribution of the
offices goes back to the people and will
by them be effected in the convention.
There is no trickery or jobbery in it. The
whole matter is absolutely in the hands
of the people, and the only man who will
be heard to object to this plan will be
the man who had a pet scheme whereby
he expected to land himself into office.
That fellow will be sore, and he will
howl like hungry wolf, but there is one
thing for dead moral certainty, if he is
afraid to submit the question of his
nomination to the people he ought to be
afraid to submit the question of his cleo
ton to them"

never makes his plays vehicles for attacks upon
existing institutions, has invariably been the
case with M. Brieux. Moreover, NJ. Capus is not
a stole, like NJ Paul Heryieu, is he an epi-
curean, like M. Maurice Donnay. He is not a
"femnste," like NJ. Abel Hermant He does not
shape his plays into social studies after the
fashion Of NJ Henri Lavedan. NJ. Capus is a
journalist in constant touch with everyday hu-
maEity, and there is tinge of Balzacian OBJ
servation in his conceptions. His wit is bright
and incisive, without being Yenomous. His dia-
logues are crisp and nicely turned. and he is
one of the few dramatists of the younger school
who realizes that in the construction of a
good play action is more important than literary
excellence. Whenever NJ. Capus discovers the
means OF infusing into his characters intense
passion and deep emotion without effacing their
smiling, good-natured irony, the result will be a
masterpiece. Meanwhile La BOurse ou La
Vie," the fOur-act comedy based upon the COM
mOnplace but eternal question of money which

her official trials at the mouth of the Tyne
The vessel has a displacement of $4,000 tons;
her length is 400 feet her breadth 16 feet and
her draught of water is % feet Her armament
consists OF four l2-inch guns in pairs in bar
bettes on the middle line at the extremities of
the ship fourteen 6-inch guns in classmates, six
on the upper deck and eight on the main deck;
twenty l2-pOunders, twelve 3-pOundeTs a num-
Der of smaller guns, and four 1S-inch under
water torpedo tubes. The armOr consists of
complete belt from stem TO stern, nine inches
thick over the central portions, iEcluding the
inches at the eXtremities. Over the central por-
ton the armor rises TO the main deck, forming
citadel, protecting the bases Of the main deck

on the sides and twelve inches over the bulk
heads The barbettes protecting the 12-inch
guns are of l4-inch armor. and the classmates
protecting the 6-inch guns of 6-inch armOr.
All OF the armOr is the tough hard faced armor

A trial of six hours duration with four-fifths

lutons, was maintained The vessel reached the

tlOn Tor the gunnery trials was at once taken on
board and these trials were satisfactorily car
ried out during the day. and demonstrated that
the hull Of the vessel was well able to stand
the stresses to which il subjected The
next day, the vessel having been brought to the
required draught by the admission of water to
the double bottom, the full speed trials were
proceeded with. The vessel ran for upward of
three hours at q speed exceeding nineteen knots
by revolutions, the mean of four runs over the
measured mile giving a mean speed of of 19.1
knots. The mean power developed the
three hours exceeded 1900 horses. Turning

been made, and the vessel has now returned 10
