JURY IS WARNED
Judge Hook lnS;ruCts Them to
Report Attempt at Bribery
SENSATION IN U. S. COURT
Court Had Been Told of Ef-
fort to Tamper With Jury
SENSATION IN U. S. COURT

After the jury had been impaneIIed in
the case of Lynch VS.. Gordon in the
United States Isl riot court, Judge Hook
caused a decided sensation by instruct
ing them that if any attempt was made
to bribe them into bringing in a verdict
for any one of the two litlgants, the
court was to be Informed Of the fact at
once. The court stated that he had
heard. soon after the case was tried last
September, that some sucn attempt had
been made, but he found upon close in
vesugation OF the facts thai the infor-
nation he had received relative to the
affair was not well founded
The case is the most important jury
case that viii be heard during this term
of the distr>~r court because of the large
amount of money involve.
When questioned later by the attorneys
IN the case. Judge Hook stated that he
had assured himself of the fact that none
of the attorneys nor in fact any of the
principals in the case had been interest
ed in any attempt to tamper with the
Jury. Further than this the court would
not say concerning the matter.
The same case was tried at the last
term of court but the jury at that time
failed to return verdict and was dis
missed. Lyncn, the plaintiff in the ac-
ton, is a wealthy cattle 4ealer, living
at Ponca City. O. y. Some time in the
summer of 1899 he made a contract with
Gordon, the defendant in this action,
whereby the latter agreed to pasture
some 900 heao of cattle for the period of
three months. Gordon is a resident of
Lake City, Barber county In addition
70 his holdings in Barber county, he had
leased a large ranch of soIue $1,000 acres
IN Comanche county. 1t y7as upon the
latter place that the cattle belonging to
Lynch were pastured. The year was one
especially noted because OF the long peri
Cd Of drought during which most Of the
vegetation withered and died The grass
also suffered and cattle were afforded in
consequence but little pasturage that was
of any particular value.
In consequence Of this fact Lynch con
tends that he sustained a loss of $40 per
head on the cattle. Tt is to recover this
amount that he instituted the proceed
ings in the United States court
The case began at O'Clock yesterday
morning and continued throughout the
entire day. Only three witnesses were
examined for the plaintiff yesterday, but
as many more viii be examined today.
The defense viii have at least ten wit
nesses. The contention viii be 'bat the
defendant was not the nontrolla- Of the
elements and consequently was not re-
CqoBsible for ? q ,nndid ~ 90 things rs
h.ey were at th- time the cattle Nero
brought TO pasture
AS above stated. the jury disagreed at
the last trial. and as far as is known
they stood ten to two in favor of allow
ing a small amount to the plaintiff for
some expenses said to have been in
CURED by him. The case VIII likely go
to the jury this afternoon or the first
thing tomorrow.
The attorneys in the case are Hackney
& Lafferty of Winfield for the plaintiff.

noted ball players. but at the commence
ment of practice they seemed a little
wary of the ball because It hurt their
hands. But with a few days practice
their hands have become so cauoused
that q red-hot iron would not cause them
to jump any more than that Ieather-cov-
cred sphere. They have become very
handy with the bat. but declare that the
only objection TO their ball playing is
that the pitcher throws the ball too hard
and does not give them chance 10 hit Il.
They have practiced so hard the last few
days that they can hit anything from
the ball up. They can also catch the
ban almost equally with professionals.
The faculty SAYS that the varsity team
must play almost professional ban TO
beat them, and Judging from the way
those staid old professors chase the ban
around the field their talk is not with
out foundation.
Both teams are In the pink Of condition
