tive examination; that when an inferno

ton Of resident physician, in which posi-
ton he shall serve six months. then be
transferred TO the Home for the Aged and

ferred to the Tuberculosis Hospital,

dent physician.

losis Hospital, If his record. moral and
I professional, IS good. he shall be ap-
pointed physician TO the poor The sys-
TEN IS TO be arranged so as TO not inter
! fere with the proper quota of colored and

klRBYs OUT ON BOND.
Light Bonds to Hold Them for Grand
Jury..The Money Station
Trouble.


The Kirby brothers, charged
with the killing Of Jas. D. Money,
Jr., and serious wounding of
Jas. p. Money, Sr., at Money
station, couple of weeks ago,
have been released on bond.
Since the tragedy occurred the
Kirby brothers, have been in Jail
at Greenwood, where they were
placed Immediately after the
killing, they having surrendered
themselves to the sheriff. The
preliminary trial was to have taken
place Monday, but was postponed
until Wednesday, when it was
heard before Justice Doug. Mont
gomery.
At the conclusion of the hearing
of testimony the court announced
that both brothers would be ad-
mitted TO bail, and placed that of
DR.. Grover Kirby, who fred the
shots that killed young Money at
$500, while Carl Kirby, who it is
alleged did the shooting of Col.
Money, was required to give bond
of 81 900. Both bonds we're made
and the two men are now at liber-
ty until the next meeting of the
grand jury in LeFlore county.
The remarkably light bonds un-
der which the men were placed
would indicate that there were ex-
tenuatlng circumstances and
would seem to bear out the claims
of their friends that they would
show at their trial justification for
their action.
