terday afternoon the State Supreme
Court handed down a decision in the
capital removal case to the effect that
Oklahomas capitol shall remain at
Guthrie until the legality of the elec-
tion recently held is determined, and
the courts have setted the constitu-
tional question embraced in the pro-
vision of the enab ing act that Guth-
rie shall remain tic capitol until 1913
and that an election shall be held af-
ter that time to establish a permanent
capital
The decision today was rendered on
writ of prohibition on the question
whether Judge Huston of the Logan
county district court had the right to
restrain Gov Haskell an dother state
officers from moving their offices and
records to Oklahoma City.
Under the decision Judge Huston
acted within his rights when he is
sued the restraining order against the
State officers.
| In obedience to the decision, all
State officials, other than the Cover
nor, who have removed their offices
to Oklahoma City, must return to
Guthrie and stay there until the courts
have finally decided the capitol con-
troversy. The Governor may GO
where he pleases but legally his off
cial acts must appear as having oeen
performed in Guthrie. 1t is thought

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
WILL BE EXPENDED
In the Attempt to Locate These Miner
al Products-Prospecting to Extend
From the Gulf Coast to the Tennes-
see Line.

Special to The Nes0s.
Jackson, Miss, July 2S.-Prospect-
ing for oil is becoming active in Mis-
sissippi, and it is believed that, within
the next few months, it will be known
whether there is oil and gas in this
state. That there is gas, has been
demonstrated, but whether it is in
commercial quantities is the one ques-
ton confronting the prospectors, and
which is to be determined.
Prospecting will extend practically
from the, gulf coast to the Tennessee
line, and thousands of dollars will be
spent in the attempt to locate these
mineral products. Two oil companies
have been chartered the last few days,
and as soon as these have been orgad-
lied work will begin. The first of
these was in Alfalfa county, and is
known as the Alfalfa Gas and Oil Co
The capitalization of this company is
small, only $4,000, but will, if neces
sary, be increased.
The other company is domiciled at
Gulfport, and is known as the Secure
| ty Oil and Gas Company. This is
capitalized at 100000, and has recent
| ly secured control of a large tract OF
land near Gulfport, on which it is
said the prospects for oil and gas are
good. The promoters of this company
believe that if they fail to strike oil
in commercial quantities, they will de
velop a gas field, which they consider
even more valuable than oil.
While it is not probable that more
than one well will be put down in Attal
la county, several will be put down in
the proposed Gulfport field, even il
oil is not found in the first few wells
Mr.. Daniel, one of the incorporators
of the Security Company, has expert
opinion on the prospects at Gulfport
and is confident his company, If it
prospects long enough, will find oil OF
gas, or both.
Several experts have been making
Investigations in various parts of the

Grand Island, Neb., July 2S.-Hard-

of the delegates left the city on late
trains and the few stragglers got
away this morning.
Mr.. Bryan himself was among the
first to leave, and declined to speak
of last nights occurrences before
starting for home except to refer in
reviewers to his convention speech.
1t was apparent that he had antici-
pated the action of the convention, and
if he felt any chagrin he did not
manifest it after the adjournment.
close friend of the former lead
er, however, stated that Mr.. Bryan's
particular disappointment was in the
boiling from his standard of many
men who had fecn his ardent support
ers in the past No intimation of
what his future political plans might
be could be secured, either from Mr..
Bryan or his friends.

GOOD RUN BETTER
Than A BAD Stand
That is What William Angelo Thought
And He Proceeded to Act
On The Idea.
Special to The Net0S.


New Orleans, July 2S.-William
Angelo, who says he lives at 223
North Rampant street, broke all rec
ords Tuesday night.
He burst through the doors of an
Iberville street cafe at 1:40 o'clock in
the morning and before anybody had
time to ascertain the cause of his
precipitate action Angelo had pulled
50 worth of glasses off the shelves
in his frenzy to hide from the person
he believed was following him. When
sufficiently calmed to talk, Angelo
said that he and friend whose name
is given as Joseph Hunter, were as
saulted by three men at the corner
of Iberville and Dauphine street. Be
lieving that a good run is better than
bad fight Angelo ran toward the
cafe with all the haste he could sum-
mon. Patrolman Michael Brown took
charge of him. Meantime Hunter had
disappeared. The police whistles
were blown and Corporal Trinchard
went to the scene. The alleged fight
ers had escaped.
