BAD MONEY
G. Johnson Of Chicago Arrested Here
on Serious Charge.

The source of the merchants and
planters bank notes which have been
flooding the Territory for year is
at last revealed.
Today at 1o'clock Fred Cook arrest
ed 4 stranger named Whitley, whose
real name was afterwards found out
TO be Thompson. Mr.. Cook thought
he looked the average green goods
man and the moment he entered
Mickey McFarland's joint he nabbed
him.
Thompson had no money on his
person but letter was found in his
pocket from Stephens and Company Of
go Dearborn street, Chicago, quoting
prices upon the bank notes Of Georgia
institutions, half century out Of
business.
Here are some of the quotations:
Merchants ana Planters bank Of Sa-
vannah 81 bills two cents each, s.
bills twenty cents each, $40 red bills
fifty cents each.
The letter quotes the prices on bills
of the bank Of New Brunswick which
failed ten years before the civil war
The one dollar bills Of this bank sells
for seven cents and the $50 bills for
sixty cents.
Thompson was turned over TO the
United States authorities for safe
keeping and the Chicago chief Of po-
lice was telegraphed to concerning the
extensive fraud which has been per-
petrated from SO Dearborn street with
the request that the parties at chat
place be arrested Immediately.
The bank notes Of the Merchants
and Planters bank have been circulat-
ing in Muskogee and all over the
territory. The notes reached Mus
koeee last year and we're used to fool
the unwary.

DEMOCRATS WIN
State Supreme Court Renders a
Decision.

Guthrie, Ok, Dec. 9.-The state
supreme court today decided that the
Democratic officers in Muskogee
county were entitled to the offices and
possession OF the county records.
The decision was rendered in a
suit in mandamus brought to compel
District Judge King to recognize GER
tain officers elected on the Democratic
ticket to whom certificates Of election
had been granted.
Judge King, when he organized his
court, attempted to carry water on
both shoulders by recognizing certain
Democrats as having been elected and
certain Republicans as having been
elected, when there was no question
but that if any Republicans we're
elected, all we're, and ifcertain Demo
Gratis we're elected, all the Democrats
we're elected. There could not possi-
bly, be any middle ground.
1t is thought here that this decis-
ion will end the force which certain
Muskogee Republicans have been put
ting on the boards by strenuously
claiming their election, even after a
second canvass, conducted under
orders of Republican United States
court, resulted in giving all OF the
Democrats certificates of office.
