will be taken in the near future.
II successful the Federal ialls at
Muskogee, McAlester, Ardmore and

Indications are that the sundry

from the house committee will not
carry an appropriation for the further
maintenance Of the Plat National

APPEALED TO HIGHER AUTHORITY

Abe Green has brought two liquor
cases from the county court of Gus
ter to the criminal court of appeals.
He is accused of selling liquor in the
town of Gyp. In one case he was
fined $3.50 and ordered to Jail for 80
days, and in the second the sentence
was $500 fine and thirty days. In
one case ground of appeal is that the
county judge erred In allowing the
county attorney to state in argument
that Green had been in the habit OF
going bail for all the bootleggers
when there was no such evidence be-
fore the court.
