AVERTED FOR A TIME.
Explosion Against the Druggists Has
Not Taken Place.

Guthrie, o. T.. Oct. ia Muskogee
dispatch says that the threatened ex-
plosion In Muskogee over the prosecution
of liquor sellers seems to have been
averted for a time. at least. It is an
nounced that District Attorney Mellette
has finally agreed to continuance of
the Cumberladge case for the term, on
account Of the serious illness of the de-
fendant.
The trials of a prosecutor IN a liquor
case was well illustrated by case tried
yesterday. \ Muskogee druggist under
indictment was anxious to plead guilty
and pay a fine. as he has done before,
but the district attorney had resolved u
attempt a vigorous enforcement of the
law. and refused to make terms The
case WAS called for trial. and when the
witnesses were nut upon the stand it
was found impossible to obtain any evil
dence that would warrant asking the
jury to convict, and the prosecutor was
forced t. nolie pros the case.
The grand jury continues to pile up
Indictments against liquor sellers. but one
of the most difficult Things in the Indian
territory IS to secure conviction before
jury.

JAIL is FULL.
Marshal Holds Up Warrants on the
Accused

Guthrie. o. T, Oct ia Muskogee
dispatch says that the old federal Jail
at that place is full to overfowing, and
Marshal Bennett is holding up warrants
because of having no place to hold pris-
oners after arrests are made. There are
now 240 prisoners in the jail, or rather,
confined within the stockade, and the
limit has been reached. Marshal Bennett
stated that he could in a very short
time pick up thirty or forty men now
under indictment but if the arrests were
made now he would not know what to do
with the men.
1t is expected work will be begun soon
on the new Jail but even if the work is
rushed the building cannot be completed
before spring. It is designed to accom-
modate $50 prisoners, and from present
indications will be inadequate to the de-
mands from the time it is completed.
