GILL OR PARKER
May Land Judgeship For The
Eastern District of The
New State.

| J. G. Starr returned from Washing.
ton on the Frisco fast mail yesterday.
Mr.. Starr went to Washington to
look after matters pending in the de-
partment Of the interior in which he
was interested and while there met
many of the people from Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma.
Mr.. Starr thinks that the situation
in the contest for the Office Of Judge
Of the eastern district OF Oklahoma is
now that the appointment is likely to
be given to either Judge Parker, Gill
or Ralph Campbell. The Oklahoma
Rough Rider, Frantz and Hunter have
endorsed Campbell and claim that
they have behind them the Indian
Territory organization and it is this
that gives Campbell his strength. If
this slate is broken il is believed that |
the appointment will go to either
Judge Parker or Judge Gill. Both !
have made an excellent showing and |
Judge Parker has made a strong show
ing Of support from the very begin
ming. Judge Gill started in with
very little support but gradually gain
I'd strength until now he is very seri-
ously considered and II the Frantz

Judge Parker or Judge Gill viii land.

A Mexican Laborer Dying Mys-
terry Surrounds His Injuries
No Means of identification.

Muskogee, Nov. 4.-With his skull
crushed by terrific blow a Mexican
laborer supposed to be one of a gang
of laborers employed by the Midland
Valley was found unconscious by the
Frisco track mile and q half east Of
bhe Muskogee Electric Traction car
barn, yesterday morning.
The man was found close by the
track where he had evidently lain all
night as the frost had formed on his
clothes. Assistant Chief Grant Hud-
dleston was summoned and the man
removed to the Martha Robb hospital
where he is now lying in critical
condition.
1t is not known whether the man
was struck by heavy weapon in the
hands of another or whether he fell
from moving train or was struck by
the engine One side of his face is
badly SCARED and scratched from con-
tact with the gravel which incllnes
the police to think that his injuries
were accidental.
Several men recognized the Mexican
as a laborer who was employed by the
Midland Valley at Taft. They did not
however know what his name was al
though some believe it is Manuel
Garcia. No means Of Identification
was found in his clothes, his only
being a small amulet. The
mar was unconscious all day.

GUUNlI CUMMISSIUNERS
RENT COURT HOUSE

County Commissioners Art Barker,
J. w. Harris ana George Costley met
here Saturday and rented the building
now occupied by the q. S. Court, to
be used by the county court and
county officers. The price paid was
$500 per year, the building to be
fixed up in good shape with privilege
to subrent.
This is thought to be good bar
gain and a great saving for the new
commissioners to make a start with,
as the q. S. Court oficlals are now

Duke of Devonshire.
 His Majesty5s consideration for the slender purse of Lord Aberdeen. the Viceroy, is the reason for his decision to avoid Dublin Castle. The cost of entertaining the Court on a State wis 1t would be something like $75,000, a greater outlay than Lord Aberdeen could afford.
 The Ficeroy's comparative poverty Is So notorious that it gave rise to a rumor that he was about to resign his post and accept the presidency of an insurance company. This report he declares 10 be unfounded.
 The great International horse show at olympia which opens on June 2, will be the most complete concource of the worlds horses that has ever been held. It is expected that over 1000 horses will be gathered uncer the glass roof of London's Madison Square Garden.
 Besides the 27 horses shown by AL fred G. Vanderbilt. which practically form the nucleus of the American sec tion, there will be many other Ameri- can teams. J. ogden Armour will show his famous team of six gray draugbt horses. These horses were first seen in London at the annual cart horse parade which was held in Regents Park on Monday last. Af- terwards they will be shown at seven shows in different cities iu England and Scotland
 Teams of draught horses wiil also be sent to Olympia by Pabst 5ne Mil waukee Brewer, and Alfred MaeiaS is sending pace and action horses. The American dTaught horses will be pit ted against the best that English brewers and contractors have lo show.
 In other classes a fully represented lot of English and Iirsh horses, will be OF view. no important stablej having failed to enter it's best blood for the si0,0o0 worth of prizes.
 The crowd of Americans who will be in London in June are determined to make the Horse Show equal to the annual New York equine carnival as a brilliant social function. Although the boxes have been priced at a high figure, more than one-third of them have already been taken for the whole week.
