NO MATTER HOW FAIR

30, 1903, the report shows that Judge
Raymond disposed of e55 criminal cases
and 5s3 civil cases. OF the criminal suits
United States District Attorney Mellette
secured SIS convictions There Were 4S
still IA criminal suits pending In fines
81, ,9es was collected and turned into the
revenue of the government
OF the civil suits 739 were begun dur
ing the year, 5SS were disposed OF and
there are T72 cases still on the docket.
On July l, Judge Raymond was UP with
his work. in spite of the great amount
that ne had been called upon to dispose
of during the year. On that date every
case pending upon the docket had been
called and some order had been made.
The western district, over which Judge
Raymond holds Jurisdiction as federal
judge, includes all the Creek nation and
a small part of four other nations-the
Choctaws, Seminoles, Cherohees and
Chickasaws. The business transacted by
the judge of the western district ex-
ceeds that of any of the other three
judges in the territory, and it is said that
no other judge in the United States is
called upon TO dispose Of as much busi-
ness as Judge Raymond.
At this time, prior to the beginning of
the October term of the United States
court Judge Raymond is attempting
makeshift at vacation, but hardly
day passes in which he does not go up
on the bench and hear an injunction pro-
ceeding or some similar suit. With the
beginning of the October term of court,
his labors will begin in earnest. He has
a remarkable capacity for work. In the
past it has been his practice to hold court
every day of the week except Sunday,
and he has often started a session at 4
o'clock in the morning and not been off
the bench except for his meals until
Il o'clock at night.
