CLEW TO HACK ROBBERY
POLICE AND MARsHAL'S FORCE
on TRAIL OF THURSDAY
NIGHTS THIEF.

That It Is only a matter Of a short
time until they capture the person
who made an unsuccessful attempt to
steal a cab and two horses in this city
Thursday night, is the opinion Of the
police department and Deputy Mar
shal's force Of the city.
Ed Choate Of the Choate hack line
from whom the cab was stolen. and
Patrolman John Harris of the local
police force. returned Saturday morn
ing from Sulphur after a search OF
two days for the thief. They tracked
the miscreant as far as Oil Springs
to which place he had walked after
turning the stolen horses loose.
II is said that the police and mar.
shals have clue to who the would
he thief Is, and are almost certain
that they are on the trail Of the right
man. If their suspicious are correct
the man wanted is not novice az
horse stealing. but has been behind
prison bars for that offense.
II has also developed that the man
was seen by several persons who say
they could identify him.
The attempted theft was such a
bold one that It has brought the at
tention of the officers Of the law to
bear on it and every effort is to be
made to catch the wrong doer.

DIVORCE GRANTED EVERY OTHER
DAY FOR PAST TEN MONTHS.
CHANCERY COURT FIGURES
This II a Record Deserving Thought.
seventy-FVe Per Cent. is Among
White People-The offers Are
Among indians and Negroes.

Since the September term Of the
court for the year 1906 until the pres.
cnt time, Judge lliuNlo. master in
Chancery has reported rayurably to
granting divorces in l6S cases. which
shows that l6.S divorces were grant
ed per month for the past ten months.
These figures do mot include the
number OF cases dismissed by the
Judge nor the number Of cases filed
and afterwards withdrawn. This
does not include the entire Southern
District Of the Indian Territory, but
only for three places in which court
is held, and these thiee are Ard
more, Marietta and Tishomiugo. The
majority of the petitions for divorce
are on the ground of abandonment
and desertion on either the part Of
the husband or the wife Another
thing TO consider In this connection
is that the majority of the divorces
sought for are by whites. OF the
number Of divorces granted during
that period at least 80 per cent were
among the white people of this coun-
try with the remaining twenty-five
per cent among the Indians and ne
grOes. with the least per cent among
the redmcn.
The largest number of decrees
were granted in Ar more and for
the two terms u t. court held he'e
a total of 20 divorces We're granted.
The next on the li,- is rishomingo
and forty-five decrees of divorce were
granted at Tishumngo; while at
Marietta only twenty-siX cases were
granted divorces.
DEGREES have been secured in all
Of the cases except three and the re-
port in these three cases pending will
in all probability be fled Monday.
Judge HinNe stated that large
number Of cases were sled and then
afterwards withdrawn by either one
party or the other 10 the case, and
in some instances whore the cause
has come up to be heard and the
/ evidence Is not sufficient TO warrant
| decree of divorce no record is made
| of the case and the papers returned
/ to the attorneys. This is not often
the case. but does occur at times.
In connection with the granting Of
divorces may also be mentioned that
since January l Of this year up until
| July IA, 1874 marriage licenses Were
issued in tht Southern District Of
the Indian Territory which incluue
! seven court towns.
The statistics Of the clerks office
| show that the divorces granted in
| comparison with the marriage II.
censes issued amounts to about ten
per cent FOR this section.
These are cold facts and deserve
some thought on the part of the
passerby, and the clergy Of the coun-
try.
For the past few years the question
of marriage and divorce has been
given considerable thought by the
ministers, but the man Of business
never stops to consider questions of
this nature, when he should do SO as
his welfare and the welfare of the
state and nation depend upon the
stopping of marrying in haste aud
