Liquor Selling .egai7
Special to Daily leader.

Wagner /. r., Dec 23.-That in
toxieating liquors can be sold within
the boundaries Of segregated towns Of
Indian territory by any person holding
a government license was the some
what startling contention raised by
Attorneys Blair & Thigpen in the trial
Of several liquor cases in the court in
session here this week.
When a liquor case was called in
which they appeared for the defend
ant, a demurrer was filed to quash the
indictment on the ground that no
crime was charged which was a viola
ton Of the law. In support of his mo-
tion Attorney Blair argued that under
the decision of Judge Clayton all the
government towns of Indian territory
were segregated from the nation in
which they may be located, and there
fore not liable for the payment Of tax
imposed by tribal law.
"If these towns are not part Of the
Indian nation Tor purposes OF taxa
tion, and are freed from the jurisdic.
tion of the tribal laws" said Blair,
they must be freed from restrictions
for all purposes alike. They cannot
be segregated from the Indian terri
tory for one purpose and held in for
ither purposes
Judge Raymond promptly overruled
he motion to quash, but Blair filed
similar motions in all the cases in
which he was employed The conten
tion is plausible to many people under

Miss lnez Forman.

A most creditable revival of old East
Lynne will apear at the Brooks. Xmas
matinee and night Mr. J. Frazer
Crosby will present Inez Forman, sup
ported by the veteran comedian John
Dillon. in a scenic revival and new
version of this masterpiece of Eng
lish drama. The most daring change
to be wrought consists in the complete
transformation of the first two acts
fromtragedyinto comedy. But the
success which has been met the last
two seasons proves to Mr.. Crosby that
he was right This feature will be
considerably emphasized now by the
introduction of Mr.. Dillon into Miss
Forman's support The veteran com
edian will have fine scope for his
original methods of fun-making AT
the same time the development of the
plot is not to be neglected. The audi.
ence is at once entertained and pre-.
pared for the intensely and powerful
climax OF Lady sabella's death in the
last act.
Mr. Crosby claims that no production
OF East Lynne has ever been given
such faultless and complete stage set
tings as he has secured.
