From the examination which |
have been able to make of the facts

Of several of the bonds had been vio-
lated. This Is n matter which Is be-
yond the reach of the citizens of the

This is practically the only redress
which can be had against the super

such as the contract above pointed

izen is entitled to file with the cir

amount to $l6,56G.53 per mile, clear
ly comes within the category of a
contract which upon Its face Is sub
ject to interference by the court,

With reference to further relief

Indicted for Bribery.

Special to the World
Okmulgce, okla. pee. Il. Sam
uel lilggingbotham. city marshal OF
Henryetta has been indicted by the
Okmulgee County grand jury for taxi
ing a brbe The indictment was re-
tunred Tuesday night, but It was not
made public until he came here to-
day and gave bond for $4,000.
The grand jury adjourned today
returning 3S more indictments, maxi
ing total of 1872 returned since It
began to sit, December 3.
Eight OF the indictments are for
felony, and 1t is reported ON good
authority that some other county Of
ficers have lIcAn indicted for ofrenses
similar to that Of Hlgginbotham's
The rest Of the indictments are hor
offenses against the prohlbltory law.
The grand jury was called prlnci,
pally because Of the charge made by
Henryetta citizens that officials in
that town We're allowing joints TO run
by means Of fines collected at regu-
lar periods, Judge William Barnum,
in intructlng the grand jury, stated
that while unlawful places were often
permitted to run by the fine system,
that is was in violation Of the prohlb-
itory laws, and that officials who per-
mltted 1t were violating the law
The information Of the grand jury
against lIIgsinbotham charges that
on May 10, 1910, he accepted a bribo
from IL f.. Moore. Il Joint keeper Of
IIcnryettl. Whether the Henryetta
marshal took money regularly from
the joints Is not known.
According to Information that has
reached here, the method Of licensing
joints at lIenryetta was this way:
The jointkeepers would report to the
city courts at regular intervals. and
would pay stated fine, Approxi-
inntcly half OF the fine was taken 10y
the officials for costs, and the rest
was turned into the town treasury,
Nine or ten joints ran there for
with apparent immunity from
the town officials.
The names Of other officials indlct-
ed If there are any, VIII not be made
pul lie until tthey are arrested.
The grand jury apparently made II
clean sweep of the bootleggers of the
county as County Attofney j $. Ea-
ton said this evening that the lndlct-
ments represented practically every
part of the county.
