Hon. P. Fl. Cullen, of Mexico, re.
turned last week from Anadarko, Ok
lahoma, where he defended Thos. Glib
bons, who formerly lived at Martins
burg, on charge of numbering Thurs
ton Renfro. The trial resulted In a
verdict of manslaughter, which was
fine or Jail sentence. The Ana
darka Tribune, has the following to
say concerning Mr.. Cullen, leading
counsel for the defensse;
P. H. Cullen, who conducted the
case for the defense is lawyer of
national fame. He has looked after
the interests OF his client in mas
terful manner and has shown a
knowledge of every detail in the pro-
ceeding that has been surprising to
all. He is logical thinker, master
of diction, with mind so alert that
each and every little discrepancy in
the evidence Of the states witnesses
has been used by him to splendid ad-
vantage. His final argument is per-
haps the finest analytical exposition
of the human mind ever delivered at
this court house. The probabilities
Of mans actions under given con-
ditions were almost developed into
certainties.

LAW ON WHICH
LICENSES WERE REFUSED.

The recent refusal Of the Audrain
county court to grant licenses to
Eugene Tomlinson for the Ringo Bar
and to Tony Weinand for the Jeffer-
son Bar is not wholly understood by
many in this city.
Under the dramshop act of 1907,
the law makes the following require
ments Of saloon keeper: "The ap-
plication shall set forth that the ap-
plicant is not disqualified under any
law Of this state before receiving a
license to keep a dram-shop; that he
Is not the agent or representative of
or partner with any person so dis
qualified; that he is not the agent,
employee or representative Of any
person engaged in the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors and shall
state who is to be the owner or own.
ers of the dramshop."
Another section of the dramshop
act declares: "That no county court
shall grant a license to any person
as dramshop keeper who, at the time
Of his application for such license
may be shown to them sold, gave
away, or otherwise disposed of intox-
icating liquors to any minor"
1t appeared that Carter Johnson
had filed application for a license
heretofore in the county court and
withdrew it on account of indict-
ments having been returned against
him by the last grand jury. Thereup-
on his bartender, Eugene Tomlinson,
presented petition for license in Tom
linson's name, claiming to be the pur-
chaser of the saloon. The court re-
fused this license under the testi-
mony.
| Hall G. McIntire had presented peti-
ton for license and on account Of In
dictments having been returned
against them withdrew their petition
and claimed they had sold their bus
mess to Tony Weinand, proprietor
of the restaurant next door to the
dram-shop and Mr.. Weinand present
ed petition for license in his name.
From the evidence it appears that
Tony Weinand is the father of
Frank Weinand, bartender for McIn-
tire G Hall, and that Frank Weinand
had given a check for more than
half the initial payment on the sa-
loon. The court examined all the par
ties under oath and refused the appli
cation.
The court was asked to rule that a
petition must have two-thirds of the
legal petitioners in the block, but it
refused.

Say Physiclans--tier Blood Turns
to Water.

A very rare disease of the human
race is that Of leukamia. This dis
ease has been contracted by Miss
Bessie Simons, residing in the west
part of the city. The characteristic
feature of the malady is the turning
of the blood to water. Miss Simons'
blood has become extremely thin
and physicians believe that her death
is only matter of a short time.
She has been In her present condi-
ton for several weeks, each day ap-
parently growing weaker
Leukamia, or the turning Of the
blood to water, physicians say, us.
ually follows some such disease dis
ease as fever but Miss Simons
health had been very good before her
present sickness.
The red corpuscles are the main
strength of the blood and when the
system becomes SO affected that the
red corpuscles cease to be manufac
tnred, the body begins to waste
away. This is the case of Miss 81
mons. Leukamia is a very rare dis
ease and is an incurable one.
