Mandamus Denied.
In the petition for a writ of man

Sargent, to compel the latter to issue
a warrant in favor Of the plaintiff for
a certain amount of the territorial in
surance fund, as had been the custom
before the passage OF the 1909 law,
was denied. The case had been sub
mitted on briefs, Attorney General
Frank w. Clancy appearing for the
Territory. The opinion by Judge Nc
Fie goes into the points raised at
length. He holds that the Act of 1909
making specific appropriations to GER
tain enumerated incorporated cities
and towns in the Territory precluded
the auditor from disbursing any OF
the insurance fund to fire companies
in any other than the enumerated in
corporated cities and towns. 1t did

which prescribed a new method, dis
playing the old method for the dis
/ tribution of aid to fire companies il
incorporated places Nor is the pc
titioner situated in any incorporated
municipality and the intent of The
act is clearly that only fire companie:
so situated should benefit by the dis
tribution.

suspicion OF having come to start a
revolution, were held prisoners for
three days and denied the privilege
OF appealing to their friends. They
were finally permitted to escape by a
friendly officer of the guard over
them who took an interest in the OR

The Oklahomans treated their ar
rest more as a joke az first. but after
three days they were advised that
they were suspected of having revo-

to be taken to en isolated interior
prison.
1t was then the Tulsa workmen be-
gan to figure on way out OF their
precarious predicament, and finatly
discovered that one Of the guards was
a brotheh lodgeman. After a secret
conference with them, he promised
them chance to escape and offered
to provide boat IN which they could
leave the country. Late that night
he made good his pledge and the
twelve Americans returned TO the Isle
