A Court Bows to 1t, and 1t Determines

A Court Bows to 1t, and 1t Determines
the Import Of Contract.
An agreed case between Thomas
Mitchell and the Southern Railway
company hinged on a comma in the
opinion Of Judge O'Doherty, who de-
cided the case, says the Louisville
Courier-Jounal.
Mitchell is a contractor and con-
tracted to repair a tunnel in Indiana
for the railroad lie agreed to in
demnify the defendant from all acct
dents TO employees or other persons
injured in the tunnel while il was be-
ing repaired. Mills Buxton, one Of
his employees, was struck by a train
while working in The tunnel and
brought suit for damages against the
road, which was compromised by the
payment to him of $685.. The sum
paid Buxton was deducted bythe rail
road when it and Mitchell had set
Element for the work. The plaintiff
denied that he was liable for the sum,
and friendly suit was filed to have the
the following clause in the contract
construed:
"Said contractor further agrees to
indemnify and save harmless said rail-
road company from all casualties or
accidents resulting TO employees en-
gagged in the work contemplated un-
der this contract, or to any third per-
son who may be injured or damaged |
by the said contractor or his servants
or agents in the performance Of this
contract"
1t was claimed that Mitchell's LA
bility in regard to employees was limit
ed by the clause injured or damaged |
by the said contractor" The rail-
road contended that thewords quoted |
only limited the plaintiffs liability |
for the "third person, and to support
The claim called attention TO the COM
ma after "under this contract"
The comma makes Mitchell liable
20 his employees for damages inflicted
by his agents and the railroad. accord
ng to Judge O'Doherty, who gave
Judgment for the defendant
The conclusion of Judge O'Doher-
Us opinion is as follows:
"The court has not the power to
or eliminate a comma. al
hough such action would diametric-
lily change the import of the contract.
The court can only construe the con-
ract exactly as it stands.

The town of Thomas, Oklahoma,

facts. 1t records the extension of the
Frisco line from Washita to the new
town.
R. J. Martin Of this city, wao is

Thomas was founded, said to-day: 1T
is surprising how the town has
grown during the few weeks of its
existence. The local bank already
has deposits of $4,000. which is GER

.STEP TOWARD STATEHOOD.
To Unite On a Plan For The Future
0fThe erritory.
Desire A SEPERATE STATE.

Sonth McAlester, /. T., Sept. go
The first step ever taken by the In
dians of the I've civilized tribes in the
direction of statehood. was made here
when representative Indians gathered
for conference on invitation of Gov
ernor Pleasant Porter, chief of the
Creek nation, and generally regarded
as the greatest living Indian in the
United States.
Governor Holbutta Niece, of the
Seminole nation and Chief Burlington,
of the Cherokee nation are here. and
Governor Mosely, of the Chickasaw
nation, has a representative in addi-
ton to J. Blair Shoenfelt, Indian
agent and acting Indian inspector, who
is here to represent the federal govern
ment, at Governor Porter's invitation
There are present: Second Chief
Wotery Tiger, J. r. Goat aud Cheesie
Mcintosh, of the Creek nation; w. L.
Joseph and James H. Johnson, of the
Seminole nation and D. c. McCurtain,
of the Choctaw nation.
General Porter says the purpose is to
unite on plan for the future OF the
territory and then make a vigorous
fight until the victory is won. The
conference has not reached the resolu.
ton stage, but the sentiment seems to
be for separate state.
The greatest obstacle encorn tered in
the hundreds of attempts on the part
of the whites to secure legislation for
this country has been the apathy or
opposition OF the real owners of the
country (the Indians,) In view of this
a bold and vigorous fight by the In
dams for congressional influence may
have influence with congress. By the
ratification of the Choctaw- Chickasaw
treaty, the last step toward the disso-
luton of tribal government was taken,
and this move by the Indian chiefs
gives hope that this may become n
fullfedged state in 1906.
