A VERDICT FOR
FOUR THOUSAND
PURCHASE OF LAND AND FILING
OF CONTEST RESULT IN CIVIL
SUIT IN DISTRICT COURT.

Saturday afternoon the case of Max
Westheimer. ct al, against G. W. BlnS-
ham, ct al. was brought to a close
when the jury returned a verdict in
favor of the plaintiffs for $4,000 Dur
ing the year 1907 Max Westheimer and
his associates, David Daube, Simon
Westheimer T. f. Graham, j. {. era
ham and f. b. Conrad made contract
with q. w. and Lille Mclaughlin Tor
the purchase of the surplus alot-
ment of Lille Mclaughlin for about
Sl,SOO. Lille Mclaughlin is an inter
married citizen of the ChOctaW nation,
having been married prior to that time
to G.. W. Mclaughlin. After Lille Nc
Laughlin had taken as her surplus allot
ment the lands which were paid for
by the plaintiffs in this case CON
test was filed and Lille Mclaughlin
together with her husband permitted
Westheimer and his associates, to de-
fend in the contest proceedings ana
later to prosecute the appeal Later
on il appears that the right to appeal
was waived by Lille Mclaughlin and
her husband, and the appeal therefore
was dismissed and the decision of the
commission. awarding the lands TO
the contestant. remained in force. 1t
appears that the principal ground upon
which the contest was based was the
fact that they had sold the allotment
to Westheimer and his associates, al
though the general law at that time
permitted an ntermarried citizens 10
sell their surplus land. This divested
the title from Westheimer and his as
sociates and gave the lands to the con
testants.
# was alleged in the petition by
the plaintiffs that the acts of Il. w
Mclaughlin and Lille Mclaughlin
and G. w. Bingham and Slim Coyle
constituted a conspiracy to defraud the
plaintiffs out of the money they hac
invested and the value of the LAND
which they had purchased. 1t ap
peared that Bingham who was law
yer approached the McLaughlins anC
advised them that if they would aban
don the contest they could file on 9th
er lands as their allotment. Aftel
some negotiations between Bingham
and Colye on the one hand and the
McIaughlins on the other the waive
was filed and the appeal dismissed
This was all done without the knoWl
edge or consent of Westheimer. Bing
ham and Coyle were alleged to have
received 5000 for their part in the al
legged conspiracy.
Plaintiffs allege that there was
special value to the lands inasmucl
as various mineral deposits wer
found thereon and alleged that the
we're damaged in the sum of $4,000
The jury after having considered IN
matter for a short time returned vel
dict in favor of the plaintiffs an
against all the defendants for $4,000

'I,Egiise ct La SorcelIerie' (''T'he Church in

published by Nourrit is packed with quaint
erudition, and, though it is hardly a book to he
placed in the hands Of youthful readers, it will
interest all students of the occult sciences. As
an historical compendium Of the subject it has
genuine value NJ. Francois proves that until
the middle of the fourteenth century the Church
treated sorcercrs as mere humbugs, whose only
sins were those of rogucry and impOstUre; in
fact its attitude toward them precisely that
which the French judicial authorities adopt to-
dav toward pamsts and fortune tecrs. But
later on, under the pressure Of popular super
stition the Church was obliged TO take a more
serious view of sorcerers and dogmatically con-
demned them as being really in league with the
