Graad Junction News.
On Tuesday evening at eight o'clock,
at the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. v. Tharp, occurred the mar
riage of their youngest daughter, Mabel,
to Dir. Il. Il. Read. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Ward and before the
immediate relatives OF the bride only,
owing to the recent death OF the brides
grandfather.
Mise Tharp war one OF Grand juno
tions most beautiful and amiable young
women and was very popular among her
large circle of acquaintances. She was
prominent member OF the Columbine
band, being one OF the first to join that
organization.
Mr.. Read came to this' city several
months ago from Delta, where he was
engaged in the photograph business.
During his residence in this city he was
Il partner in the firm Of Wheeler 6, Read
photographers. He is bright industri-
GUS young business man and has won
many friends since coming here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Read left on train No. s
for Butte. Montana, where they viii
make their future home.

THE BAND CONCERT.

On Wednesday evening the Paonia
Fruit Growers Band gave concert
here at the opera house to small but
appreciative audience. The band has
really made wonderful progress in the
four months that they have been organ
ized. Mr.. f. Thompson is the instruct;
or and Mr.. Geo. Zaun the manager; and
to these gentlemen together with Mr..
Wade and Mr.. Oliver, is largely due
the success OF the band. They play
well and if they continue to progress as
they have thus far they will doubtless
be playing fifth and sixth grade music
within year. The other numbers on
their program were also excellent. in
fact they all did SO well that it is useless
to attempt 10 say who deserved most
praise, although perhaps we have heard
Mrr. Zaun's readings spoken of more
frequently than any others. Mrs. Crook
has good soprano voice and Mrs Har-
rison possesses Il rich contralto, but it
was little Miss Lorena Wade Who cap.
tivated the audience with her lullaby.
She is pretty little mite and her voice
is as charming as she. AS we said,
every number on the program was adj
mirably rendered and Delta hopes to
hear from them again and will give
them better support. We might add,
however. in self defense, tina. we think
it partly their own fault that their
house was not larger one. as their best
advertising matter was gotten out too
late to do them the most good.

WILL THERE BE WAR
That's the Talk Concerning Joints In

Guthrie, o. T., May 24-The opening
Of the Biowa, Comanche and Apache and

war between the Anti Saloon league. now
more strongly organized than ever. and
the liquor dealers who may seek to do
business in the new country the moment
it is declared open to settlement At
other openings saloonkeepers and whole
sale liquor dealers obtained from the
federal government a license to sell
liquors as soon as the country was
! opened. Stocks Of liquors and bar fix
lures were loaded on cars and taken in
on the first trains. Saloons were the first
places to begin business and the thou
sands OF tired and thirsty homeseekers
were a source OF immediate wealth
There are men in Oklahoma who made
thousands Of dollars in a few days out
Of the different openings. They were
not molested by federal authorities, as
they had federal licenses. Otherwise.
there were no persons to protest that
men were conducting saloons without
town or county licenses. and the saloons
were permitted TO run until the towns
and counties In which they were doing
business had perfected their organiza-
tion and were prepared TO issue licenses.
The Anti-SaloOn league viii insist at
this opening, however, that the law be
obeyed, and will be on the ground 70
see that the law IS enforced. Under.
late court decision it is possible 10 close
a saloon during controversy over the
granting OF a license. For instance.
saloonkeeper applies for a license. A
protest is fled and before the hearing his
old license expires Under a decision OF
Judge John II. Burford Of the Logan
county district court, this saloonkeeper
must close his place Of business until
he can secure a new license. Under tho
the law Of 1897. the county board of
commissioners or the county clerk has
TO authority to grant a license unless IL
has been signed by certain number o.
taxpavers living in the ward town o-
township IN which the saloon Is 70 b.

be taken upon the license until after not

Perry, o. T, May A.-whea district
court convened here this marning. Judge
Burwen announced his rullItg on The
demurrer to the indictment offered by the
attorneys for the defense in the case OF
the United States against Asa C. Sharp.
charged with bribery. HIS honor over
ruled the demurrer and held the defend
ant TO trial in the following language:
mo one could examine the authorities
presented and fail TO arrive at the con
clusion that different court of the country
had established different rules in regard
to the facts necessary TO be set out IN
indictments for bribery. Counsel had
cited cases in reference to extortion and
the unlawful use OF the United States
mails for the purpose Of defrauding, but
the rules in such cases are much stricter
than in the one at bar. None of the
authorities cited by the defense from the
supreme court of the United States were
cases of bribery; while those cited by the
United States attorney were in bribery
cases and under statutes similar to the
one under which the defendant was in
dicted Taking into consideration all of
the different authorities at command,
will sustain the indictment and overrule
the demurrer as to each of the different
counts. Defendant will be allowed an
exception to the indictment as a whole,
and to each OF the separate counts in
the Indictment
At the conclusion of his remarks, Judge
Burwen requested the defendant to stand
up. and after reciting the charge against
him, and the rulings OF the court on the
various motions made by the attorneys.
he said:
Asa c. Sharp. are you guilty or not
gunty?"
Not guilty" said the prisoner IN a low
low tone of voice.
The judge here allowed the attorneys
until afternoon to prepare an application
for an order and commission to take dep
ositions of some material witness who
could not be present at The trial.
After dinner the attorneys for the de-
fense presented a long motion for a com
mission to take the evidence outside the
territory; also TO take dispositions. and
and asked for a continuance for these
purposes. Judge Burwel said he had
learned from an examination of the rec
ord that the case had never been set for
trial and further considering the fact
that issues had only been Joined today
he was unwilling to force the defense TO
go to trial without allowing them reason
