FAVORED STATE COURTS.

Decision Covering the Cues
ton Of jurisdiction.

Guthrie, Ok, Mar. 10.-Chief Justice
Williams of the Oklahoma supreme
court Monday handed down four opin'
ions In which the question Of jurisdic.
ton between the state and federal
courts was settled in favor OF the
state courts
The principle involved In the case
was that the Enabling act under which
this state was admitted into the union
and also the schedule Of the eonstitu'
tion, provided that the proper state
courts, as Successors of the federal
courts, should have Jurisdiction over
all pending criminal cases mot OF .
federal nature; and the court held that
the crime of murder committed In the
Indian territory under the general fed.
eral statutes against murder would
place jurisdiction In the state courts
by virtue of a federal statute solely
applicable to the Indian territory and
this was a crime not Of federal ma
ture and that the proper state courts
had jurisdiction Of the same. The
same holding was made as to the
crime Of larceny.

Thev Are Trimming Hedges.

A large number Of the farmers
throughout the county are trimming
their hedges. This is a very good
plan and makes travel agreat deal
safer on the roads. especially at cor
ners where the hedges prevent travel
lers from seeing II there is anyone
coming in the opposite direction
Another bad feature Of the high, dense
hedges is that they shut of the breeze
ia the summer. The prettiest way Of
Trimming the hedges is to cut them
down within three or four feet from
the ground and leave . tree every
little distance. This makes the road
look trim and neat without htndering
the view. The hedge trimming idea
is good one and all the farmers
should follow il oUt.
