ROBERT STONE WILL STAY.
The Hughes Heirs Lose Their Suit
to Gust Him.

Judge Hazen today decided the case
involving the services of Robert Stone
as guardian of Rebecca Hughes declin-
ing to grant the habeas corpus asked
for.
Mrs. Hughes was tried for her sanity
in the probate court and found not in
sane. In a short time she was tried
again and declared to be insane and
Robert Stone was appointed guardian.
Heirs to the estate attempted to have
Stone custed and brought habeas cor
pus proceeding before Judge Hazen for
the release of Mrs. Hughes on the
ground that the proceedings in the pro-
bate court finding her insane by a COM
mission of physicians was unconstitu-
tional and also that the probate court
lost jurisdiction over Mrs. Hughes when
she was first found to be sane. Judge
Hazen decided that the proceedings
were constitutional and that the court
had Jurisdiction. Some alarm was felt
over the attacking of the constitution
ality of lunacy proceedings as if the ac-
tion of the probate courts was held
unconstitutional then all the patients
in the insane asylums would have been
legally free.

Wellington, Kas., May 9.-There
has been a decided change in the local
Santa Fe strike situation. Twenty

and helpers work during the stock
rushes, but now the company has p
men engaged. All of them are non

SpanlardS Mined There

Muskogee, Oct, There has
been found evidence of the carly
occupation Of TIPS country by the
Spaniards many years before the
Indian Territory was peopled
by the Anglo Saxon or the five
civilized tribes. There is evidence
near Ft. Gibson that at one time
the Spaniards had mined there and
built many houses. Three miles
from Fit, Gibson there was an old
Spanish graveyard where several
hundred graves were marked with
headstones. Since that time this
country has come under civilization
and where the old Spanish ceme-
terry once was is row a waving
field Of cotton. lie old head
stones have been carried off and
used in wells and fences. Recent
~ some parties made an invest-
cation Of the country surrounding
this field end found evidences of
old mines that had been worked
and what appeared TO have once
been good sized town. It is be
lieved thgt the Spaniards worked
