District Court.

In the case Of A. B. Rumsey VS.. the
D. K. &. c., the jury found damage
for the plaintiff in the sum Of $1,000.
Mr.. Rumsey sued for $500 damages,
! night Of way through his ranch at old
kiowa. The jury was taken down to
the ranch over the new road and the
members personally viewed the premises.
The plaintiff was also awarded $40 In
terest. The condemnation board allow
ed Mr. Rumsey 5000 but later, we un-
derstand, the company raised the figures
to $780, The following persons COM
posed the jury in the case:
John Suhler CIV Kritzmire

John Bloom AB Jarvis
N Nida CIV Smith-foreman.
Judge Bierer of Guthrie and Seward
|. Field and Noble & Tiincher Of this
city represented the company. and Fred
Washbon of Anth ony and Walter L..
Owen Of kiowa represented the plaintiff.
The case Of D. F. Allison of Moore
township against the same company re-
suited In a similar judgment---$l0OO
The condemnation board allowed Mr..
Allison 5000. He sued for $4,000.
After he pays his court expenses he will
have considerably less than the amount
fixed by the board. The jury in this
case was as follows.

The case Of I. G. Bunton and the
Porter brothers Against the same COM

ceived $3.50 as against $500 allowed
by the condemnation board, and the
Porters received $3.50 as against $3.50.
This cleans up all the right of way busi-

On Saturday a case of unusal noto-

brought by F. M. Lukins against Al Hit
tie for SANDER, praying fof a judgment
for $1,000. Lukens and Hithe were
neighbors in Mingona township last year
and have not been getting along well and
the suit is probably an outsrowth Of the
trouble. The suit, however, is based on
an accusation Of Hittle against Perry
Lukens, son Of F. M. Lukens. The Of
fence which Perry is accused Of is an
unmen6onable one and, # true, would
place him below the brute creation in
the public mind. He very emphahcally
denies the accusation and sues for vindi-

In Memery Of Little Joe Rogers.

Written and composed by Frank B.
Gordon in memory Of Joseph Rogers,
one Of his pupils, who died October 22,
1906:
Farewell kind parents and teacher.
Goodbye dear classmates all.
l must leave you all in sorrow.
And haste to my SaviorS call.
o. the world is place for mortals.
To prepare for their infinite God
And its joys are twitS of song birds.
With lilies that grow on the sod.
Then why should we weep at departure,
Oh. why will our eyes grow dark
When our idol OF Life Is taken.
And fearleSSly launches his bark
Little Joe was calm when the dawning.
OF feternity flashed to the soul.
What smile on his lips was stealing.
AS he reached the heavenly goal.
The star of our home is absent
The moon of sorrow gone down.
Those little hands are beckOAing q welcome
In q land where no sorrow is found.
May the garIands and daisies grow sweeter,
May the dew drops OF life grow bright,
May we meet little Joe in heaven.
Where there Is no darkness of night.

girls and one Of the family's dearest gems
and the parents have the heartfelt sympa-
thy Of all IN the loss they have sustained.
Frances was l8 years, J months and Is
days Of age. The son, Earl, was report
ed little better when last heard from.
We 'incerely hope for his recovery.

following statement:
"My firm was employed on the day
of the shooting by relatives and friends
of Mrs Bradley to take comnlete
charge of her defense and to protect
the interests of her children. We then,
by wire, engaged the firm of Leckie,
Fulton & Cox of this city to take

parent from the various interviews had
by her with the local firm.
Other Counsel Employed,
"Some DAYS after such employment
with the advice of several persons from
Utah, temporarily residing here who
were friends of Senator Brown, she
sent for and employed other local
counsel, who, it appears, accepted en-
ployment without notice TO or com
munication with either of the firms

withdrawn as counsel in the case. and
have so advised those who employed
US, who, since Mrs. Bradley's action
in the premises have ur"ed us to re-
main in charge of the case. and also
urged Mrs. Bradley to accept their
