That .Iu.eryisw

The AoAdsrko Tribune takes ex.
espt'ons to the recent structures Of
the Dspoerst on the Triton. Guthrie
interview. In which the democracy Of
the county were all accused Of being
flop-ovsrs and seeks to justify itself
BY aspersing the conduct Of the COun.
ty Judges and SherifY's Office. In one
or both Of which Il opines that grave
wrongs exist.
The Democrat Is not out In defense
Of either the sheriff or the county
Judge. They are ordinarily able to
take care of themselves and il there
is wrong doing in the conduct of their
officers it is up to the Tribune to
show it. One of the first acts of the
sheriff's office was to bring back the
ee;aulting sheriff j, s. Thompson,
who appears to have made some mis-
take as to how the tax monev should
have been appropriated. The repub-
licans let him down as easy as posi-
BILE, for the sake of the party, dom t
you know, but his record Ls one of
their standard bearers is up at the
court house yet. People who live in
glass houses should not throw stones,
Caddo County don't care to have an
other republican selection Just at
present.
As to the number of convictions
for boot Logging there are about as
many in proportion to the number
charged as in cases of murder, far
graver crime. Not one in ten of
those charged with murder are con-
vcted and those who are. are given
some ridiculous little sentence which
encourages, rather than eradicates the
evil. Why don't the Tribune turn
its attention to that? About the on
ly crime you can count on now being
convicted for is stealing a horse or a
hog. Then the jury in righteous
wrath ends him up.
But as stated above the Democrat
is not out IN defense of any one. 1t
will however resent any imputatlun
on the party ard the eternal princi-
plies Of Democracy, and repndiate Il Q
aspersion that the sturdy democrats
of Caddo County are not so from prin-
ciple, but for the sake of boodie,
even though the Tribune tries to COW
er up It's tracks by calling them
"independent voters

sixty FAT FOWL ARE
CARRIED OFF BY THIEVES
Robbers Make Fine "Haui' from Hen
merry of Charles Carroll at
Riverview.

When Charles Carroll, who lives at
Riverview, retired Thursday night he
was the owner of sixty large Rhode
Island Red hens, but when he awoke
yesterday morning all of his fowl
were gone. Mr. Carroll was awaken
ed about 3 o'clock yesterday morning
by the cackling of his hens, but paid
little heed to the noise and soon fell
asleep again. He is confident now
that the thieves were busy at that
time stealing the chickens.
Yesterday morning was as ideal
time for the theft OF the fowl as 1t
was pitch dark outside. The thieves
must have carted the hens away in
a wagon as sixty fowl would have
made a rather heavy burden for one
or two men on foot.
Though he reported the matter TO
the local police yesterday morning,
no trace has yet been found of the
thieves or of the stolen hens.

JUDGE BARHAM TO RENDER
OPINION THIS MORNING
Decision Had Not Been Complete yes
terday Afternoon-Few De-
PENDANTS Here.

While he has not set any time for
the rendering of his decision In the
insurance case It is more than likely
that Judge Barham will have his
opinion this morning.
1t is. probable that the judge
will be ready TO go on the bench at
10 o'clock, the usual hour for the con-
vening of the Corporation Court.
II had been expected that Judge
Barham might be ready to render his
decision late yesterday afternoon, but
he had not completed the opinion at
that time. During the week that he
has been considering the matter,
Judge Barham had done great deal
of work. A vast array Of authorities
was cited by counsel during the ar
gument on the demurrer and the task
OF going over the issues raised and
studying the authorities cited on each
issue has proven an almost gigantic
one.
A few of the defendants returned
to the city yesterday TO be on hand
in case Judge Barham rendered his
opinion yesterday afternoon. Some
others of the insurance men may get
into town this morning. Counsel FOR
the defense has made arrangements
to notify-the defendants by telegraph
IL the demurrer is overruled and the
insurance men will Immediately set
out for this city to attend their trial
