TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
Compromised.

Secretary of State Morton has
notified counsel for the Southern
Railroad, that he accepts the COM
promise offered in the matter Of
the privilege tax due the State for
the consolidation Of the Mobile &
Ohio with the Southern, and that
on payment of $500, the amount
due, he would sign the compromise
agreement. This action was taken
on the advice of Attorney-G General
Pickle and Comptroller King, who
held that the Mobile & Ohio alone
was liable for the tax of one-tenth
of one per centum on its capital
stock for effecting the consolidation.
The Mobile & Ohio agreed to the
compromise and will make the pay
ment under protest, reserving the
right to sue for its recovery.

A FRAUDULENT MARRIAGE.
j. p. Barnard May Lose His Bride and
His Liberty.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, July 29.-J. P.
Barnard, a we'll known planter of
Mount Zion, was arrested tonight on
the charge of perjury.
The circumstances connected with
Barnard's arrest are interesting and
romantic. Bernard is Sc years old.
Saturday he came to the city with
Florence Hamaker, a girl only Is years
of age, so the prosecuting witness
AYERS, and married her, making affida-
Wit that the girl was over 18
years of age. Saturday night j. A.
Billions, grandfather and guardian of
the girl, went to Bernard's home, took
the girl away and warned her husband
not to try to get her again. The young
lady, it is alleged, told her grandfather
she did not wish to marry Bernard,
but he had been so insistent that she
consented to marry him if he would not
make her live with him until she was
Is years old. She declared, so the
grandfather stated, that she hated the
man, but he had power over her lat
compelled her to obey him.
Billions engaged counsel to file a bill
in the Chancery Court to annul the
marriage on the grounds of undue in
f1uence. He will bring suit against
Judge Morgan E~ewart for 5000 dam
ages for issuing a license for minor
to marry. He is the one who charges
Bernard with perjury.

UNCLE SANS LAND LOTTERY
Two Thousand Prizes Awarded-Twenty-
Five Thousand People Witness
the Drawing.


Five Thousand People Witness
the Drawing.
Ell RENO, o. T., July 29.-Oklahoma's
great land lottery was begun here in
earnest today, and when the commiss-
toner's appointed by the federal
government adjourned the drawing for
the day, 1000 of the choicest of the
1900 160-acre claims in the Kiowa-
Comanche country had been awarded.
The first name drawn from the
wheels was that of Stephen A. Hol-
comb of Paul's Valley, 1. T., for home
stead in the Eli keno district, and the
second Leonard Lamb of Augusta, o.
T. These two men select the two
choicest claims in this district.
Capital prize winners, however, prov
ed to be James R. Wood of Weather
ford, o. T., whose name was the first
to come from the Lawton wheel, and
Miss Matte H. Beals of Wichita, Kan,
who drew the second number in that
district.
They will have the privilege of
making the first filings in the Law
choose the two quarter sections adjoin-
ing that town. These are considered
the most valuable in the territory, and
are, it is estimated, worth from $780,
600 to $4,000 each.
The day has been one of keen ex-
citement, replete with interesting
scenes. 1t is estimated that fully 25,.
i
The immense throng was wrought up
to the highest pitch. The drawing OF
the first name was followed by
mighty shout that reverberated be
tween the hills and must have been
heard for miles over the prairies.
Each succeeding winner for a time
was met with shouts of applause and
merriment. All was pleasantly. Every
man, though he did not draw a prize
from the wheels today, had steadfast
faith that tomorrow or the next day
would surely see him the possesor of
slip reading him title clear to 160
acres of Oklahoma land. So, in the
success of friends and relatives, un-
fortunate ones today, instead of bewail-
ing their fate, cheered as familiar
names were called out from the callers
platform. When the close of the draw
ing for the day was announced at
o'clock hundreds who had neither eat
en- nor drunk during the day sank to
the ground where they stood from
sheer fatigue, or dragged themselves
to better places of rest or to reIresn-
ment booths up town. The day was
remarkably free from quarrels, and
general satisfaction with the govern
ment's method of disposing of the
land was felt.

Hunter Proposes a Compromise.

The attorneys for DR.. R. A.
Young have made an offer to settle
his liabilities on what is known as
the Hunter & Hart paper for thirty
cents on the dollar, and it was re-
ported that practically all the hold
ers of this paper had accepted this
proposition. 1t will be remembered
that when the firm of Hunter &
Hart of Nashville, failed DR.. Young
was indorser on about $4,000 of
their paper. He admitted that his
Endorsement on most of this paper
was genuine, but that his name in
some instances was forgery, and
that some of the notes had been
raised. He later took the bankrupt
law, which would have relieved him
of the entire amount, but now he
voluntarily offers to compromise
the claim, so far as he is concerned.
This compromise does not relieve
Hunter & Hart, and only affects DR..
Young's liability.
