City Council.

Pursuant 10 adjournment, the City Council met in the courthouse Tues. day evening, May 22, with the follow ing members present: Mayor German. Aldermen Mallory, Mann, Sanders. McDaniel. Lanier, Ravens.
 The Mayor announced the object of the adjourned meeting to be the fur ther consideration of the report of the Committee on Purchase of the Flee tric Light Plant. He spoke of his hopes that the people would take part in the proceedings, but was very much disappointed in the small attendance. He said the Water Works were run ming behind to the sum of $2OO per month, and if the works remained on inc hill the rates must be doubled to meet the expenses. The item of coal alone was enormous. Our plant used ope-fourth the amount of coal that Memphis does, and the cost of haul ing the coal 10 the plant on the hill was something like 1900 per year He suggested the purchase of the Light Plant. and to dig we'll there and de termine the quantity and quality of the water. He said that MT. Williams had offered the loan of funds To do the work, and that the longer this matter was deferred the greater the deficit would be. He said Mir Williams of fered the loan and when the Water Works were removed, would lease it, if the City did not wish to buy the Light Plant He endorsed the report of the Committee.
 Alderman Mann spoke in favor of buying the Light Plant. He said the price was fair and equitable. As far as finances were concerned, there would be no difficulty in meeting all obligations. He therefore moved that the report of the Committee be adop- ted. The motion was seconded by 4 l. derman Sanders.
 Alderman Lanier said he failed to sign the report as one of the commit tee for want of time to read it careful ly. Said he was in favor of the City owning the Light Plant, but the ques- ton was, where was the S20, 600 or more to come from. He thought the Council should first ascertain if water could be secured al that place, and spoke of the valuation of the Light Plant as too high.
 The question being called for the vote resulted in five votes for and one against the adoption of the report Alderman Lanier voting in the mega tive
 Recorder Bernard rendered his re sgnation. which was accepted. and Mr Percy w. Barker was elected To fill outthe unexpired term.
 Alderman Ravens moved that the sidewalk order be put of for sixty days Aid. Mann seconded the mott ion
 The vote resulted in ayes }, nays !
 NAn ordinance requiring the removal of sll wagons, poles, pipes, etc, except goods for immediate shipment, from the railroad right of way, was put on its first reading.

partment Of the Interior.

Marriage-TeNas.
Claimant was first married in Wis.
consin in 1874. Her husband deserted
her soon thereafter and she married
the soldier in Texas in 1885. 1t is
shown that her first husband survives
and that the marriage has not been
terminated in divorce. 1t is, there
fore, held that the second marriage
was invalid. and that she is not the
widow of the soldier.
-Record-EVidence -.
In the absence of record in the
War Department of a prior military
service of the deceased soldier, the
allegation by his widow that he had
such prior service was immaterial,
and the rejection of he: claim for
pension upon the ground of her inaJi!-
ity to fTnish evidence showing in
what orgaizd;iun such all >ged prior
service was rendered vas improper
and erroneous.
Line Of Duty.
The soldier was killed by being run
over by an electric car while absent
from his command by permission.
Held. That his death did not occur
while lin line of duty within the
meaning of the pension laws.
Discharge.
The deceased soldier was never
discharged from his military service

was murdered while in the service un-
der his first and only enlistment a.
time when absent from his command
on a pass. Held: That his widow is
not entitled to pension under the pro-
visions of section 3, act of June 27,
1890.
Marriage-Presumption.
Claimant and soldier continued 10
live and cohabit together as husband
and wife for ten years afier the death
of his first wife and up 10 the time Of
his death during which tiIae, ana for
fifteen years prior thers.) tney wee

When II was announced couple OF
weeks ago that Gov Johnston and ex-
Gov Mosley of the Chickasaw nation,
who were indicted with the members
of the law firm of Mansfield, McMur-
ray q Cornish of Indian Territory for
conspiracy 10 defraud the Chickasaws.
had been freed from their indictments
through the appeal Of political friends
to Washington. w. b. Johnson, Unit
ed States district attorney for the
Southern district of Indian Territory,
who had secured the indictments, was
reported TO have resigned. The infor-
nation as to this latter action came
from the Washington department Of
justice where the wish was apparently
the father to the thought for it now
develops that Mr.. Johnson has not re-
signed has refused to dismiss tho M.
dictments as requested and is in open
rebellion against the department Of
justice. Mr.. Johnson's term does not
expire until January 1G and there a"e.
fears at Washington that he may
bring the indicted mon 10 trial be'Gre
that time. An uncalled for interes, in
the case on the part of the department
of justice Is shown by the fact that It
made recommendation TO the president
that Mr.. Johnson be removed from
office. The recommendation was at
first approved and an order of dis
missal was prepared with n formal
statement from the department Of JUS
tice of the reasons for its action. Both
order and statement were later re-
called however, and Mr.. Johnson was
allowed to remain in Office. The situ-
alton, to say the least, is a strange
