"MERE MEN" AS HER AT.
ToRNEYs.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Mrs. Bel

the only woman who ever ran for the
presidency of the United States, must

of Oklahoma, the sum of $4,000. A
verdict to this effect was recently Civ.
en- in circuit court here and 1t is said
that Mrs. Lockwood will not further
contest the claim.
Friends of Mrs. Lockwood who
hold to the doctrine of equal rights
and woman suffrage attribute her de-
feat in the courts TO the fact that she
employed mere men as lawyers to de-
fend her in the suit.
According to the declaration filsd
by Mr.. Rucker. Mrs. Lockwood, who
is now a prncticing attorney in this
city. receiving fee OF $4,000 last
July in a case she won in the Court
Of Claims. This case was in the In
terest of the Eastern Cherokee In
Idians, of the Indian Territory.
The administrator claimed that Mr..
Taylor. since deceased, had contract
with Mrs. Lockwood. under the terms
of which he was to receive certain
percentage of the proceeds Of the
claim in the event of success having
gathered the claims together, collect
cd evidence, etc.
The jury, upon deliberatlon, de-
clded that Rucker, as the administers
tor. was entitled to S5,942.5O, to be
added to Taylor's estate, as the per-
centage due him of the fee received
by Mrs. Lockwood.
Mrs. Lockwood has long been in
terested in cases Affecting the Indians
and has won numerous claims for
Poor 10. Although now nearly IS
years of age, she still retains her men
tai vigor. She was twice the candi-
date of the Equal Rights Party for
the presidency, first in 1884 and again
lin 1858.
