INABILITY TO SECURE COSTS
MUST BE SHOWN BY ATTORNEY
Decision by Judge Fcrriss May In
validate Law Allowing Plaintiffs
to Sue as Poor Persons.

Circuit Judge Ferriss made ruling yes
terday in the damage suit Of Kate Hoppe
against Henry W. Weisheyer which, if sus-
tanned by the higher courts, will practically
render imperative the law allowing poor
persons to sue without giving security for
costs.
Kate Hoppe sued for $1,000. alleging that
she was injured by being run down by a
team attached to vehicle belonging to
Wesheyer, October IA last.
A motion was sustained allowing her to
sue as a poor person. Weisheyer filed mo-
ton to set aside the order Of the court, on
the ground that the plaintiffs attorney had
a beneficiary interest in the case. she hav-
ing agreed to give him a portion of any
amount that might be recovered
1t was claimed that the attorney is not a
poor person. and should be required to Sc
cure the costs of the case. Judge Ferriss
sustained this motion yesterday.
In q suit OF this sort the attorney for the
plaintiff usually requires his client to agree
to allow him certain percentage OF dam
ages that may he recovered. Under Judge
Ferriss's ruling the attorney will have to
show that he is unable to secure the costs
in order to maintain suit without secur-
fty.

Be Heavy This Year.
SUFFERING ONLY IN PANHANDLE
Loss of Thirty Thousand Head on
the Ranges of North Texas
May Affect the Meat
Prices.

| Homer B. Spaulding, Mayor of Muscogee.
l. T., and one of the most prominent mer-
| chants and cattlemen in the Southwest. ar
rived in st. Louis yesterday and Is stopping
| at the Southern Hotel Mr.. Spaulding says
that the Indian Territory generally. and
| especially the Creek Nation, suffered little
| from the blizzard which recently swept over
| the Southwest.
| Cattle in the Territory. he said, were not
nearly so much affected as was reported.
The greatest losses were in the Panhandle
and parts of Northern Texas. Losses in
the Panhandle. he said, are estimated at
$1,000, valued at probably 100000 These
| losses, he believes, will have their effect up
on the meat market in the coming spring.
1.-THE blizzard" said Mr.. Spaulding, ZAP
peared to be headed in our direction, but
happily spent itself before reaching us.
From what I could gather, the losses of
cattle in the Indian Territory were compar-
ativey light. OF the 10000 head which
am pasturing near Muscogee not enough
were lost to be worth mentioning.
BIG GRASS CROP PROMISED.
During the last two months conditions
in the Creek Nation have been favorable
for cattle. and there is promised big crop
of spring grass. believe shipments of cat
tie from the Indian Territory will be heavy
will be sent to the Territory early in the
Year. The outlook for business in the Ter
ritory now is better than has been the case
al any time in its history"

prominent in the list of probable candidates

He is the Territory member of the Demo-
cratic National COmnsi ttee and Is consid-
cred one of the most influential members
of the party there
In the Indian Territory Mr.. Spaulding
controls more than 100000 acres of grazing
land, and in addition owns large land and
cattle interests in Texas. Mr.. Spaulding has
participated in numerous enterprises for the

CONFIDENCE IN THE SOUTHWEST.
MIR. Spauiding is a typical Westerner,
both in appearance and sentiments He Is
a stanch believer in the Southwest, and In
dian Territory in particular. On statehood
he believes Indian Territory should be adj
mitted a State when the proper time
comes. When asked regarding his cand-
dacy for Office in the event OF the Territory
becoming State. he said that he was pri-
marily business man and not a politician
in any sense of the word.
