nent surgeon of the University

markable demonstrations of painless
surgery before various clinics in New

plying anesthetics to the spinal cord
to deaden the pain incident to surgical
operations. 1t has been reported that
DR. Jonnesco is the dscoverer of this

IMPORTANT
CASE WAS
l DECIDED

Judge Marshall this forenoon rem
dered decision in a suit which viii
no doubt prove Of much interest to liti-
gants and prospective litigants in all
parts Of old Indian Territory part Of
the state where Indian allotments have
been purchased prior TO selection aud
whore the selections were made at the
dictation Of such purchasers.
The case in question IS that Of
Amanda Grey Barrett vs. r. A. Camp
bell, et al
The plaintiff through her marriage
to Grey a Chickasaw Indian. became
ali intermarried citizen and as such
was entitled to an allotment Grey
died and she married white man,
Barrett. She is illiterate, she alleges,
and can neither read nor write. and
neither can her husband, Barrett, so
she AYERS Campbell and his defend
ats came to her she alleges, and
purchased her allotment before she
had filed on The same. for which they
were to pay her $500, the defendants
to choose the land and she to file;
they did choose the land. she filed and
then decided the same to the defend
ants. receiving the stipulated $1,000
But now she sets UP plea Of fraud
in that the allotment, she alleges. was
worth $4,000 and because Of the illit-
cracy Of herself and husband they were
incapable OF appreciating the value Of
the same; accordingly, she petitioned
tc have the sale set aside
The defendants, through their at
torneys. Bond & Melton, demurred and
Judge Marshall sustains the demurrer
on the ground that mere illiteracy is
not sufficient to incapacitate one from
being judge Of the value OF land;
he held, however, that she is not with
out a remedy at law, that she might
bring a suit in equity for eiectment
The case is considered one Of more
than passing Importance and it is be-

eided to proceed to temporary organi-

most Of those present was sprung, and
that was the positive. absolute and un-
qualified objection OF one f. A. Garri-

himself state secretary and claiming
to speak for the national secretary.

national head TO recognize no Y n. G.
