Grave Charge.

New York, Dec. 14.--The trial Of Al
raham II. Hummei one Of New York's
mse widely known lawyers. on the

into conspiracy to procure periured
evidence. Former Supreme Court JUS
tice Edgar L. Firsman was also indict-

same case.
The conspiracy and perjury charges

RAZOR BACKS IN POLICE COURT.
Denlsons from Oklahoma CITY Con
tribute to City Golfers.


Oklahoma City was there with the
goods this morning In police court
There was only two cases and both Of
tenders claimed residence in the razor
back town.
Lon Thornton, was eETeste to Fort
Worth to spend the winter, as the cold
in Oklahoma town is too severe for his
constitution. Lon had only four dollars
and eighty cents and game leg,
made so by an attack of rheumatism
contracted while living at Oklahoma.
He had not sufficient coin to purchase
berth in a Pullman to the Lone Star
state. He could not even ride In the
smoker. SO he did what dozens of
others of his class do. Faxed a ride on
the trucks. When the north bound
train arrived at the capital this morn
ing a policeman gently proded Thorn
ton loose from his secure position on
the "bliad" Thornton attempted to
jar loose in hurry and escape on the
other side, in order to avoid arrest. In
his haste he quite forgot about the
rheumatic limb and fell on the einders
with great force skinning aid bruising
his face in a most painful manner, and
injuring one eye. He was taken to
headquarters and his wounds cared for.
Thornton presented a sorry appear
ance when escorted into the presence
of the magistrate to tell his little tale
The judge did the only proper thing
under the circumstances. Gave him
a lecture which it is hoped he will heed
and discharged him. with the instruc-
ton that he clear out of town before
six o'clock this evening.
L. W. Riley, the sole booze fighting
offender hailed before his honor, Judge
Olsmith got only five and costs this
morning. Riley handed the court ten
plunks and returned to his home in
Blowtown to the west, via Santa Fe.

Mr. Wilson also owns the two peafowls

All Of Mr. Wilson's fowls were raised

cidedly larger in appearance than the

fowl are much the same as those OF
the turkey, only they do not become
as tame. The mother hen hides her
nest away and hatches the young birds
and when they are large enough to
walk she brings them to the farmyard
where they eat much the same food
as do chickens and other domestic
fowls. Mr. Wilson's fowls are scoring
high, and viii doubtless carry of some

over THREE HUNDRED MILES
OF FUM|GAT|0N IN APRIL

In April. County Health Officer
Morrison put in IA days on account
of contagious diseases, travelling 900
miles and getting 5000 for it. That
is a daily average of 21.60 miles and
$21.60.
The remaining 16 days of the
month he devoted to his duties as
county physician and his private
practice. He drew 800 for his ply.
stefan services to the county. His
income from his private practice is
not a matter of public record.
During April the country to the
north of Spokane was writing under
contagion. According to the fumi-
gators monthly bill, o. KID by the
county commissioners, under their
contract with him, there was diph-
iberia to quarantine "20 miles north
of Spokane" on the 5th. The follow
ing day there was diphtheria to
quarantine ego miles northwest Of
Spokane" Three trips at $40 per had
to be made during the month to that
diphtheria stricken district north of
Spokane.
The country northwest had to be
quarantined once at $40, but appar-
emily did not have to be disinfected.
Plaza was quarantined and disinfect-
ed at $2S per trip. Rockford was
quarantined and disinfected twice,
three trips at $27 per.
With practicing physicians at
Rockford, Plaza and other towns,
can not the county protect itself
against contagion at less cost than
running fumigator out of Spokane
at a rate of 81 per mile? Dr. w.
Fumigator Morrison violates no law
of the criminal code when he makes
those trips. The county commissions
ers contract with him at that figure.
The question is not as to the legality
