A case was heard this morning that
is of considerable interest owing to
the prominence of the defendant in
Vinita business circles. The case was
that of the state VS.. Mrs. Kate Burk-
halter, charged with selling cigarettes
in violation of the state law. William
T. Rye, as attorney for the defense
filed motion to quash the indict-
ment, setting up numerous contentious
for his request. The court listened
to the arguments on the motion, this
forenoon and granted the motion to
quash on the grounds set up by the de-
Tense. All of these grounds may or
may not have been sufficient to cause
the court to quash the indictment. but
Judge Frear held that the contention
that the indictment charged two per-
sons with crime that necessarily
would have committed severally was |
sufficient to quash the Indictment.
The state filed notice of appeal from
the decision OF Judge Frear.

FoeLE SECURES TEMPORARY
WRIT OF MANpAMUs.
REFUSED BY OLD COUNCIL
Former City Clerk in Court to Compel
Council to Pay Salary Of
Assistant.

Mandamus proceedings have been.
instituted in the county court by @. p.
Fogle, former city clerk, to compel
the mayor and city council to pay a
judgment held by him against the city
for clerk hire, during his term of Office.
A temporary writ OF mandamgs was
issued by Judge Frear against the
mayor and city council and is made
returnable Friday, January 7.
The claim, from which the manda-
mus proceedings is an outgrowth, was
created by the payment of the salary
of an assistant during the term of Mr..
Fogle as city clerk, and was refused
by the former city council. When the
new administration came into Office.
Mr.. Fogle again presented his claim.
and the new council refused to allow
1t. Mr.. Fogle then took the matter
into the courts and recently secured
a Judgment for the. amount Of his
claim, which amounts to something
over $500. The judgment was present
ed along with other bills; at the last
meeting Of the council. It was found
the Judgment would have to be paid
out Of the sinking fund, and as there
is no surplus in the sinking fund, the
council was ct a loss to know how to
Issue the warrant In payment Of the
Judgment and did not allow the judg-
ment, but passed the matter over for
further consideration.
In the meantime Mr.. Fogle went
into the county court and secured the
temporary writ Of mandamus to com
pei the payment of the Judgment. The
matter will be taken up at the meet
ng of the city council tonight

years, the average killing frosts are
shown to come between November 2

latest on record are October 10 and

Muskogee can safely be taken as
the average, though similar observa-

were taken at Blackburn, Fairland,

The principal and most satisfactory
point established by the entire buile-

is well distributed through the grow
ing season and is ample for growing

The season for growing and maturing

the railroad men to the limitation OF
their issue of securities. The state OF
New York through its utilities com.
mission, already does limit the issue
OF stock by railroads. The railroad
presidents argued that such regula-
lion by the national government would
stop railroad building, would seriously
hamper them in their efforts to borrow
money and prove otherwise Injurious
to their interests. No such results
have been noted in New York. They
also objected to the establishment of
court to hear summarily appeals
from the interstate commerce commits
sion and to authorizing the interstate
commerce commission to initiate pro-
visions for the correction of unjust
rates or regulations of traffic.
