district attorney promulgated an or

him to notify all game keepers that
they must close their games and that

to do so would make them liable TO

Dan Setter and Others Locate
Lost Animali Evidence Out
of Ordinary

An interesting case, and one in
which the testimony was not alto
gether corroborative, came up yester-
day in Judge Burdick's court. The
testimony showed that about thirteen
months ago, Dan Setter and others
who own a ranch near here, lost a
horse. Recently they discovered it in
possession of one John Korp. They i'm
mediately replevined the animal.
KoTp testified that he had had the
horse only five days, and that he
bought him from a party at that time.
paying him SIS for him. He exhibited
a bill of sale for the animal. The man
from whom the receipt was received
by Korp testified that while he had
written the receipt and that the re-
ceipt called for the horse under dis
cussion, that nevertheless it was a re
ceipt for damages done to some of his
property Koch expressed his willing
ness TO surrender the horse. The
Judge took the case under Amusement
until o'clock today.

salaries paid BY the federal govern
ment yesterday. At the same time
they were given checks for return
mileage to their homes. For their
further services in making a consti-
tuition the delegates must look to the
state for payment.
The enabling act provides that the
delegates shall sit sixty days in the
pay Of the federal government. The
convention was convened November
20, and, counting the holiday adj
journment and Sundays, has been in
session sevanty-two days There is
little finished work to show what the
convention has been doing. The only
matters in which il has taken final
action are county boundaries and
county seats, with the probability that
certain features Of these questions
may come before the convention before
final adjournment and consume con
siderable time. The bill Of rights and
the initiative and referendum have
passed the committee Of the whole

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 31-After an
entire day Of debate on the prohibition
question the constitutional convention
adjourned tonight without vote.
Both sides are a little doubtful of
their strength and a meeting of the
liquor traffic committee is being held
tonight in an effort to reach a com
promise which will be acceptable to
both sides. Especial efforts viii be
made to have the vote as to placing
prohibition in effect in each locality
changed so as to place it at later
date, instead Of simultaneously with
the adoption Of the constitution as
now provided by the majority report.
While the nominal question at is
sue all during the day was the Rose
amendment providing for separate
submission to the people Of the whole
state, extending prohibition under the
terms Of the enabling act over the
whole state, was the main issue under
discussion. The opponents of cOnsti-
tutional prohibition were all lined up
for the Rose amendment, while its
advocates were opposing it and stand
ing pat for the majority Of the Ii
quor traffic comr ttee.
The minority on the committee are
willing to have prohibition placed
temporarily over the whole state, if
an opportunity is to be given to vote
on the matter later, and the contest
is now over what the nature Of this
subsequent vote shall be. The mi
nority are contesting that it shall be
