Stanley Took 1t.

Ex- Governor w. E. Stanley conclud
ed to take place on the Dawes Com.
mission after all of his play and loud
talk to the galleries. 1t is understood
that his refusal in the first place was q
sham. When he threw to Long in the
senatorial contest everybody knew that
he would get his reward and it was ar
ranged for him to take this until some
thing better can be offered. His "off
again. on again" tactics are evidence OF
weakness. It would have placed him in
better light to have accepted it at first
without SO much bluster about his law
practice. 1t is the general impression
anyway that $1,000 job beats all the
law practice he ever had.
The worst feature about the whole
business is that he was taken away
from his duties here in the Crawford
murder case, right In the midst of It.
1t is claimed by the defense that he was
retained as the leading attorney and it
was great injustice for him to pull
out.

The Anderson Case.

The dismissal of the criminal case
against Jas Anderson last week did not
settle the difficulty, as presumed by
many. After relatives of Mrs. Teagle
learned of the dismissal they prepared
to prosecute him on the charge of
bastardy but it was finally settled bv
Mr.. Anderson's deciding and quitclaim.
ing all his interest, right and title in
and to all of the property in the Ander
son estate to Mrs. Clara Teagle against
whom the offense is alleged to have
been committed.
The rape case was dismissed without
the knowledge and consent of the
prosecuting witness or her near rela-
tives and it proved very unsatisfactory
Mr.. Anderson was arrested in Decem.
ber while Samuel Griffin was county
attorney. Mr.. Griffin made a great
mistake in making the charge of rape
instead of bastardy.
The final settlement of the trouble
places MIR. Anderson in very bad light,
Many who heretofore had believed him
to be entirely innocent have had cause
to change that opinion. Considering
the mental condition of the woman, the
affair is especially lamentable and
worthy of severe criticism.

Continental Money.

George Austin, of Valley township,
showed us some old Colonial money
Saturday which has beeI preserved
through generations and may well be
priced as a valuable relic. It is paper
currency bearing the date of issue and
signed by the authorized officers of the
state, but most of the signatures are
almost obliterated and iliegibIe. 1t
consists Of three bills in denominations
OF 20 shillings. 18 pence and ST. respec.
lively. The oldest piece was issued in
177S, and the other two in 1774 and 1776.
In those days the state issued the cur
rency and the death penalty was i'm
posed on any person found guilty OF
counterfeiting. This provision was
made very prominent on the bill so that
no one had any reason to be ignorant of
the law.

Thomas Dixon Jr.

Thomas Dixon is not what one may
consistently call a handsome man and
there is nothing ia his appearance
to indicate that he is superior to the
majority Of the race. In disposition he
is quiet, ,unapproacha BILE and reserved
yet at all times courteous. II we were
to pass judgment after looking at him
and without hearing him on a rostrum m
we would say that be is very ordinary
individual whose long suit is his capaci-
ty to make away with the things that
repleD1sh the inner man, but after
hearing his lecture last Thursday we
must say without any design to flatter
that he is superiorly talented orator
one whom we could hear an entire day
without firing. His flow of language
is beautiful, his argument IS lnvlncible.
his power of speech wonderful and his
entire lectHro eloquent.
1t will probably be a great MANY
years before the people of Medicine
Lodge are again accorded the privilege
of hearing such renowned orator.

for lightning rod company at Topeka

company, to rod a house in positive

house. and one ground rod, together
with all the necessary points and
braces. He agrees to make you pres

which you agree to pay Is cents per
foot. But the contract Is drawn up in
such way that each point and brace
count 25 feet OF rod, thereby running

is to cover up the details of the con.
tract so it will not be noticed until
your house is rodded and bill presented.

District Court.

Most all OF last week was consumed
In securing jury In the Crawford muir.
DER case. 1t was completed Saturday
AT 3:3O p. M, after exhausting the regu
lar panel and two special Yenires-ons
or 43 and another of ga total of IS
men. The following persons compose
the jury:
Howard Ball, Eagle.
j. b. Milan, HaZelton.
II. G. Walker, Turkey Creek.
VIM. Barkley, Hazelton.
A. +. Buckles, Cedar.
VIM. Clark. Mingona.
John Wright, Hszelton.
l.. r. Mckay, Valley.
j. +. Blackwelder, Valley.
w. y. French, Valley.
+. Is. Thresher. Valley.
Il. H. Frederick, Deerhead.
The first evidence in the case was in.
troduced on Monday morning and the
case is still on trial. It will probably
60 to the jury today.
This trial Is the result Of the awful
tragedy at Sharon on Christmas eve
when Oscar Crawford stabbed and kill
ed his companion and friend Liva Rule.
The sad misfortune has been recited
In these columns before and the
public is we'll acquainted with its
fatality. The boys had always been
friends but on that eventful night they
got to quarreling and after a fight
In which Crawford was somewhat
punished by Rule, the former sprung
upon the latter and cut him in the
neck from which be bled to death in
half hour.
The defense set up the plea of mental
irresponsibility. They claim that on
account OF haYing been beaten BY the
deceased and on account of having
been under the influence OF liquor he
was temporarily deranged and did not
know what he was doing. Several wit
nesses were introduced to substantiate
their theory. The state combats this
theory vigorousl9 and has witnesses to
prove that Crawford knew what he was
doing. Drunkenness, of course, IS no
defense, but insanity is.
The attorneys in the case are County
Attorney Tincher. A. l.. Noble and w =.
u. Robertson, OF Springfield. Mo-, for
the state, and G. M. Martin. Col. J. w.
Crawford and Jude G. w. Ellis for the
defense. Judge Ellis was employed af-
ter Gov. Stanley quit the case.
This is the first murder case since the
Noel case four years ago and has arous-
ed great public interest. The attorneys
and the court are covering all the
ground carefully and no legal talent is
going to waste.
In the Kiowa liquor prosecutions a
compromise was effected whereby
Messrs. Cunningham and Dobson were
permitted to plead guilty to violation
of club house ordinance and pay fine
of 500 and no Jail sentence.
