THE COUNTY SEATS.
congressmaa FIynh's plan for the
Divisiea of the Territory.

While there is not a great deal
of hope on the part OF Mr.. Flynn,
delegate from oklahoma, or any
other member of congress, that his
bill providing for the division Of
Indian Territory into counties, will
pass at the present session of con-
gress, it will serve an immediate
purpose. Mr.. Flynn explains the
purpose 10 this way; He says that
the towns of the territory have
been repeatedly victimized, or the
prominent citizens of them, by
schemers who make bold claims of
their ability TO secure county seat
locations. In spite of the oft re-
peated disclosures which indicate
beyond doubt that these promoters
have nothing on which to base
their CLAIMS, they continue to oper-
ate successfully. Mr. Flynn's bill
proposes that there shall be twenty
six counties in the territory.
He was importuned by many
who take a sentimental interest IN
the matter to name the counties
after the different tribes Of Indians
which have inhabited the territory
in recent years. After mature de-
liberation he decided that the peo-
pie who would live in the new
counties had best decide upon the
names themselves, and so framed
his bill, only indicating the coun-
ties with numerals. Later he will
propose an act which will have for
its object an arrangement whereby
the people of the different counties
can have a voice in naming them.
The county seats which he has
selected are as follows. County |

A PROUD RECORD
Made by the District Attorney as
Shown by Gen. Griggs' Report.

The annual report of Attorney
General 'Griggs contains figures
such az entitle Federal Attorney
Soper and his assistants, of the
northern district, to the privilege
of feeling proud of their achieve
ments. The report shows that this

the United States in percentage Of
effective work accomplished, eN-
cept in one class of cases where
the southern district of New York
leads by narrow margin.
In comparison with the other
districts OF the territory the report
shows that in liquor cases there
has been 2ls convictions in this
district, 152 in the central district
and SO in the southern. In this
district fines amounting to $40, 149
were imposed, while in the central
district s2,915 was the amount.
There were pending in this district

MILLER HABEAS CORPUS.
Prisoners Attorney Granted Further
Time to Present Authorities.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Gill
overruled the demurrer interposed
by Col. Soper questioning his jur-
isdiction to hear the habeas corpus
petition filed by Robert n. Miller,
who is wanted in Cuba to answer
a charge Of embezzlement.
Attorney Givens, for Miller, was
permitted to amend the petition,
when he contended that the court
had the right to examine into the
testimony adduced before Judge
Thomas when the latter committed
the prisoner to Jail to await extra
dition papers. Judge Gill was not
of his authority to adjudge
whether the evidence offered at
that time was legal and competent.
After brief argument Attorney
Givens was granted until Feb. l to
present authorities substantiating
his contention.

Territory

Ever since the construction Of the
M. X. s. T. .'Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations ia the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis OF five cents
a mile. The customary rate OF pas
senger fares on railroads except in

cents a mile. The population OF the
Indian Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been a large increase OF
traffic on this account, and
the Katy officials, recognizing the
wants OF the people and the justice OF

TO reduce the local passenger rate 20

A BROTHERS. ANGER
Was Aroused Against His Brother.
iR-Eaw and He Wanted Biggers
and Bob CarseloweyIndicted
by the Grand Jury for
a False Affidavit.

A few days ago Bob Carselowey
received telegram from J. T..
Biggsrs Of Pryor Greek asking
him to procure license from the
clerks Office which would permit
Biggers to marry Miss Georgia
Elliott.
Anxious to do his friend favor
and being well versed in the ma
chinery Of the marriage license
department Bob went to the clerk 's
office and before Deputy William-
son made out the necessary afi-
davit giving the girls age as Is
years, as was indicated to him in
the telegram.
After being sworn Bob made
mistake and signed Biggers' name
to the affidavit.
Yesterday afternoon James Ell
lott, asbrother Of the young lady,
came to town ''mad all over" He
went at once to the clerks office
and denounced the issuance Of the
license, asserting that his sister
was only I6 years Of age.
Elliott said that Biggers had
married another of his sisters
and that she had been dead only
10 or ID months.
After the death of the Grst sister
it is said that Biggers made per-
sistent love to the younger girl,
the petite and pretty Miss'Georgia.
This caused a rumpus andlBiggers
became unpopular with the other
members of the Elliott family, who
are eminentIy respectable and are
thought muoh Of by their neigh
bors and friends.
The insistence of Biggers to
marry Georgia caused fOrther
breach in the family relatIons, the
time elapsing since the death Of
his first wife being considered very
short in which to efface her
memory.
There is nothing further than
that to charge against the grocm,
who has many friends and is ia
position to make the girl good
husband, those who know him
allege.
After looking over the affidavit
in the clerks Office Elliott con-
suited Assistant District Attorney
Rider in an endeavor to go before
the grand jury and secure indict-
ments against all parties con-
cerned. 1t appeared to the official
that a family quarrel was the oc-
casion of the objection to Biggers
and, as the marriage had already |
been cosummated, he counseled the
brother to "maKe the best Of it,"
Elliott considered that that was
the best thing to do, but left the
court house vowing vengeanceu upon
Carselowey.
Clerk Chandler, wanting to get
the affidavit correct, sent for Bob
and had him subscribe his own
name to the document. Then, un-l

Strict Sunday laws that lay down a
schedule for Sabbath observance al
ways have been and always will be a
failure. They meet with about the
same results as would the establish
ment of State religion. On Sunday as
any other day the citizen has a right to
do as he pleases so long as he does not
interfere with the comfort and peace Of
mind of his neighbors. The day when
the American people will accept Blue
Laws" has passed into history. AS long
as man minds his own business on
Sunday he fulfills every generally ac.
cepted law and custom. His final ans
wer must be to his God and while hu.
manly may pass Judgment on how
this God should be served the verdict
has no more chance Of being right than
the opinion OF the individual proceeded
against. II, for instance, our church
members can listen to Biblical teach
ings and feel highly satisfied in Sunday
idleness and contemplation, while their
Oriental employees are sweating in the
fields to create more dividends, that's
the church members lookout. Tho
community has no particular business
with It except to see that no one ID
forced to work Sunday.

ARE GETTING TIRED

From late correspondence just re-
ceived from Washington by a gentle
man here intimately in touch with the
doinss in the INNER circles it appears
that there is liable to be action taken
very soon by the authorities in Wash
lngton to take over the Custom House
and Fostofiice buildings and property
contiguous belonging to the govern
ment. The procrastination of the Ter
ritorial officials in the matter is not
understood and it has been recommend
ed to the department that explanations
should not be expected. It is probable
that the land and buildings in 'ques-
ton will soon be condemned blythe
Government and taken over for Federal
use.
