his hip in the middle of the road. Mr..
Rohrhuber landed in some brush at
the side of the road and Mr.. Long,
who was driving, was thrown into
the brush and dragged along little
farther up the hill. 1t was supposed
that the neckyoke came loose from
the tongue of the wagon and the
team ran away smashing the wagon
all to pieces, throwing out new cut
ting box and scattering the meal,
feed and groceries in all directions.
Marcus Degroat escaped uninjured
except for a severe shaking up.
Daniel Degroat hurt his hip and one
leg. Mr.. Rohrhuber had cash cut
in his face and bruised him quite
badly. Mr. Long had his side and
shoulder and head hurt. They all
reached home that same evening, ex-
cept Mr. Rohrhuber's horse Charlie.
The two horses became separated as
they ran, and Mr.. Sanders grey
horse, Prince, started for home, and
ran as far as Mr.. Ruescher's, who
saw that he was running away and
stopped him and kept him there un-
til the men arrived. They took him
home and sent out searching parties
to hunt for the other horse. He was
found in the woods below Ruescher's S

ing, and was brought home the fol-
lowing morning.

JORNSON'S WHITE WIFE
CAUSING HIM TROUBLE.
Pugisist'S Mother Declares Woman
Cannot Lodge in Her House Any
Longer.

Chicago, January 7.-Whether or
not Jack Johnson will lose the
heavyweight title of the pugilistic
world during this year, as predicted
by Madame De Thebas, the Persian
seeress, 1911 is already bringing
trouble in big punches for the black
champion.
Peace and happiness around the
negro's home vanished when his
mother, in a statement, reiterated
that the white wife of her son, now
confined in a hospital as a result of
run in," in which CASTOR Lo
Froit, the champions former
French chauffeur, and a gun figured,
would never, never be allowed to
stay under her roof again" The ul-
timatum of Johnson's mother, deliv-
cred last night, caused the champ
ion to pack his grip and seek lodg-
ing at a hotel.
Mrs. johnson asserts that John
sons white wife is responsible for
the former chauffeur going on the
hunt of Johnson with a gun few
days ago and that she-the white
wife-gave mVal support to the
venture which has placed the
French motorist behind the bars.
Johnson will not discuss the issue
and refuses to say whether he will
return home.

WHAT HAS BECOME d
OF ENLOE CASE
RECORDS SEEM TO BE SILENT AS
TO FINAL olsPoSlTloN-lNvES-
TIGATlON BEING MADE.

There is considerable agitation
among the attorneys of the local bar
as to what has become of case that
was tried in the county court over
two years ago and which it appears
has dropped completely out of sight.
The case referred to is that of the
State VS.. Abe Enloe for conducting
gambling place within the county of
Carter. The information was filed with
the county attorney and the case ap-
pears on the docket of the county
court under date of April 2, 1909. The
case was finally called for trial on
the 27th of the month and a jury duly
empaneled returned a verdict of $500
fine and Imprisonment in the county
Jail for a period of three months. The
defendant through his attorneys,
made application for a new trial which
was denied by the court, appeal was,
however granted and thirty days given
in which his attorneys were to prepare
the case for presentation to the Grim
inal court of appeals his bond being
fixed BY the court at $500.
Here the case ends as far as the
county court records show, other than
the record of the transcribing of the
case and filing. No record is shown
that a certificate was ever received
from the clerk of the court of appeals
showing that the case had been filed,
and a letter from him states that there
is no such case pending in that court.
Judge Mason was asked about this
case today and stated that he sup
posed that the case was still lending
as when bond was made for its ap-
pearance in that court the county court
had nothing more to do with it, and
further stated that the information
that there was no record of the ap-
peal being filed was as much news
to him as to any one. County Attor
ney Mathers states that he supposed
the case to be fled, but he was in
correspondence at present with the
clerk of the criminal court of appeals
relative to the matter and a thorough
Investigation would be made at once
and the matter Strengthened out.
He futher stated that some time ago
he was informed that the case was
pending before the criminal court of
appeals and for that reason gave no
thought of the matter.

TULSA GIRL WINS WAGER.
Rides Horse Into Drug Store on Bet Of
$25 Hat.

Tulsa, Okla, May 15.-Astride her
pet horse. a beautiful coal black ami
NAL embodied with almost human in
telligence, Miss Julita C}iddings, -
South Denver street, leader of the So
cial set of Tulsa, and dashing young
heiress. rode into Bakers drug store,
on South Main street Monday morn
ing. Miss Giddings urged her mount
back to a table at which was seated
a party of young folks, turned the
horse about and rode back into the
street again, all for a wager of $25
with Rex Mcdonald, we'll known oil
operator of Tulsa, with whom she
had been riding. Miss Giddngs paid
no attention to the stares of the crowd
or the gapes of the drug store clerks,
and in fact, took the novel stunt in
cool and unperturbed manner.
Miss Giddings and Mr. Mcdonald
had been out horseback riding and
stopped their horses in front of the
drug store. c. o. Baker, owner of the
drug store, came to the curbing and
laughingly invited the couple to come
inside. We'll, would ride inside
just as quick as would do anything, '
replied Miss Giddings.
I'll bet you a $25 hat that you
won't do it," said Mr.. Mcdonald.
Get up spoke the young woman to
her horse, and before spectators or
participants in the incident could re-
cover themselves or get over the as
tonishment, the equestrienne had rid
den through the doors and back to the
tables

not done, however, as congress af
forwards determined that this import
ant question, namely, to what eX-
tent may congress deal with the cIti-
zen-Indian, constantly arising in the
affairs of the eighty-one tribes of
Indians in the United States, would
be arising, that it would be settled
for all time. This Marchie Tiger
case has furnished the basis for such
judicial determination.
The decision will be of benefit

"Will this decision of the supreme
court affect adversely the Santa Fe
oil lands at Wheeler?' was asked.
AS | have before stated, it does
moi. These oil lands are on dead
claims bought by the Santa Fe com
pany prior to April 26, 1906, and
the title thereto is made valid by
the decision Of the supreme court in
the case of Hancock VS.. Mutual Trust
Company. Az dead claims in the
ChoctawChickasaw country under the
terms of our agreement, in my judg
ment are good where bought prior
to April %, 1906. They are good
where bought between April 26, 1906.
and May 27, 1908, when approved
by the secretary of the interior. And
when bought since May q, 1908, and
approved by the proper county court
of Oklahoma, are valid, and the title
is as good as may be conferred by
law The Marchie Tiger case, being
a Greek dead claim case, does not
disturb dead claims in the Choctaw-
Chicllasaw countries where bought
properly under our own peculiar
statutes"

SUIT AGAINST PIONEER
TELEPHONE COMPANY
LOCAL FIRM OF ATTORNEYS
HAVE FILED SUIT BEFORE COR
PoRATlON COMMISSION.

Suit has been filed before the cor
poration commission by Hendricks
Davis and Smith, a local firm of at
torneys against the Pioneer Telephone
company to compel them to furnish
telephone service. The facts of the
case are about as follows:
On April 1st, Messrs. Hendricks, Da'
Wis and Smith opened offices In this
city and made application for tele'
phone service. Mr.. Berry the local
manager of the company called ana
presented a contract that he stated the
company demanded to be signed by
the patrons, calling for a yearly con
tract at thirty-six dollars per year, one
fourth payable in advance. Judge Da-
Wis stated to Mr.. Berry that he did
not object to paying the amount asked
by the company, but objected to sign
ing the contract for many reasons,
set out in the petition.
The company therefore refused 10
install the telephones and the attor-
neys have been without service. For
that reason they have filed suit against
the company and the case will come
up for hearing before the corpora
ton commission on the 14th of June.
This case will be watched with keen
interest by patrons of the company
not only in Ardmore but other cities
of Oklahoma as well.
