street, near Roach forty or fifty bot
ties of near-bear were found.
At Tom McGuire's place, a near
fight occurred between Patrolman
Nick Ewing and Mcclure. Mcclure
refused to open his door till the police
smashed the glass in it. He then
came out, unlocked the door and
showed a disposition to have it out
with the policeman but Ewing per-
suaded him it was unnecessary. Some
beer was found here and MCGUIRE was
placed under arrest.
Shilling's place was also raided and
beer found as was Joe Garaway's
where some wet goods were found
A negro named Dodson also gave up a
few bottles to the police when his
place was raided.
Mat Turner, a negress, escaped, as
no beer or whiskey was found on hel
place, though she has been suspected
of selling it.

Negro WOMAN FOUGHT
ON mere MANS ACCOUNT

Matte Johnson, colored, is lodged
in the city Jail charged with assault
and battery on the dark completed
person of Jimmie Daniels, Jimmie be-
ing a she-male. The row occurred
during the lunch hour at the Peoples
Laundry. There was nobody at the
laundry who knew nothing about 1t,
further than that one of the women
had man." and the other was charg-
ed with trying to "cut her out" 1t IS
also certain that Matte is the feml-
nine. Jack Johnson of her race, and
an ugly looking scar on Jimmie's
head bears indisputable testimony of
this fact. A wooden club about four
inches in diameter and broken at one
end lies in the rear of the laundry,
and 1t is said that this is the weapon
with which Matte projected her
rights.

LEGITIMATE PREY
OF Land GRABBERS
Member of investigating Committee
Says Every Inch of Indian Land
Is Looked Upon in That Light.
fBN Associated PreSS.)


Sulphur, OKLA, Aug. 15.-Every inch
of land owned by Indians is looked
upon as the legitimate prey of the
land grabbers." This statement was
made today by one of the members OF
the committee appointed by the house
of representatives to investigate the
Indian lands contracts.
Besides the charges of Senator Gore
that he was offered $4,000 to boost"
the McMurray contracts in congress,
the committee is inquiring into Indian
land conditions.
Some of the land grabber's
schemes certainly should be called to
the attention of congress" said a COM
mitteeman. Zone man, we have learn
ed, has become rich entirely through
his profits in this connection. He
kept list of Indians who owned al
lotted lands. Whenever an Indian
died he rushed into court, had guar
dian appointed, and with the conniv'
ance of the guardian, demanded that
the land be sold for a ridiculous price
This man now owns 10000 acres OF
immensely valuable lands.

of the county, other than judiciary
expenses. This money has been in
the treasury, idle for some time and
it is merely the purpose of the Board
to utilize this fund instead of allowing
to stay on deposit.
Mrs. Cochran was replaced on the
pauper list
Advertisement was made. at the
July meeting of the Board, inviting
sealed proposals for furnishing record
books, printed forms, etc. for the
county officers, and eseveral bids were
submitted, but it was decided that in
as much as the several bids submitted
prices which exceeded prices of 1906
(or prior to the passage of the bill au-
tborizing the counties to contract for
this work., that 70 contract would be
made. One of the bids submitted was
also rejected on the ground that II
was not legally filed.
The contract for furnishing county
officers with legal blanks, stationery
and forms was let to The American
Printing Company, their bid being
deemed the lowest and the best bid
Bids were filed by The Martin Print
ing Company, The Hattiesbubrg Print
ing Company and The American
Printing Company.
The inspection of the Jail required
by the Code to be made at least once
each three months, was made by the
Board and conditions were found to
be satisfactory.
