IN THE
INJUNCTION COURT
JUDGE RUSSELL IN THE DISTRICT
COURT HEARING TESTIMONY IN
CASES.

The district court is busily engaged
in hearing the injunction suits
brought by the county attorney a few
days ago, enjoining certain alleged
joints" in this city, together with
the owners of the buildings.
The suit that has been on trial all
day is that against Bob Braziel. At
the hour of going to press the testi-
mony had not been concluded in this
case. 1t appears that the state is max
ing very strong case.
This remedy seeks to enJoin the
owners from renting their buildings
and the occupants from using them
for the purpose of receiving, selling
or otherwise furnishing liquors of any
kind therein. Without the aid of the
owners of the property, it is impossi-
Bile to enforce the provisions of the
prohibitory laws. 1t is alleged that the
property owners in Ardmore have
never lent their assistance to the of
ficers in these matters, and these
suits are brought for the purpose Of
compelling them so to do.
There are two other remedies that
will likely be followed up at once, if
these suits do not give the required
relief. One is to file penalty suits
against the buildings and condemn
them. 1t is not improbable, If the
state prevails in the suits now being
tried in the district court, but that
penalty suits will be Immediately filed
and the buildings sought to be con
demned.
The law places the burden upon the
owner of the property to see to it
that no Joints" are conducted in his
property.

Val Mullen, Esq,
Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
take pleasure in replying to the
open letter addressed to me through
the columns of the Ardmoreite on
Feb. 1, 1911, in which communication
you attempt to mislead the public as
to my position in holding the office
of commissioner and running for the
office of mayor at the same time If
you will turn to page %, section 3 of
the general provisions of the charter
OF the city of Ardmore, you will find
the following:
"In case of any vacancy for any
cause in the office of mayor or any
member of the board of commission
ers the same shall be filled by the
board of commissioners for the uneX-
pired term by a majority vote of the
remaining members And you will
notice that the mayor does not ap-
point.
I was elected commissioner by the
people of Ardmore for term of four
years, of which term I have served
Just twenty-one months, which leaves
an uneXpired term of twenty-seven
months Should a vacancy occur now,
or at any other time during the next
twenty-seven months, for any cause,
in my office, no election can be held
by the people, for under the provision
Of the section of the charter above
quoted the board would Immediately
fill the vacancy, and the citizens
elect my successor. This must have
been known to you long ago, for when
Commissioner Jones died, the board
Immediately appointed his successor,
Mr.. Owen, and the people of the ward
or city at large did not have ali oppOr-
tunity to express their wishes by the
ballot, hence your argument that | am
trying to prevent an election by the
oeople falls utterly to the ground.
The city attorney, J. B. Moore, has
already corroborated the foregoing
statement of fact through an inter
view published in the Ardmoreite, on
Jan. %, 1911.
With best wishes for a greater Ard
more, am,
Respectfully,
D. II. DAWSON.
Commissioner First Ward.

FOR THE
INCREASED RATE
OF FIRE INSURANCE AS GIVEN
BY LOCAL FIRMS WHO HANDLE
LARGE BUSINESS.

There has been considerable dis
cussion relative to the raising OF
the insurance rates in the city, and
when a prominent insurance agency
was approached this morning and
asked to give a reason for this state
of affairs, replied: Here is the sit
uation in nutshell, and the reason
for the increased rates in Ardmore:
Insurance rates as a general prop
osition are based on two factors.
First, fire protection which in
cludes the water supply, pumping
facilities. distributing mains. fire
alarm system, and fire department.
Second, the local hazard or risk,
depending on the character of the
buildings (whether brick, frame, con
crete, etc., the method of construc-
ton, the exposures and the use or
occupancy of the building.
THE second factor is matter OF
individual concern and, practically,
can only be remedied by the ind-
vidual.
The first factor, however, con-
Germs the whole people, and can only
be handled by the city government.
If the water supply is deficient, if
the pumping facilities are inadequate,
if the distributing mains are de-
fective, if the alarm system is lack
ing, or the fire department inef-
ficient it is plain that the danger of
conflagration is increased in pro-
portion as each one or all of these
items are below standard.
"The rating bureau fixes the rates
in all cities and towns in Oklahoma,
according to the character of the
fire protection afforded, and vari-
Gus places are classed according to
the rates as follows: Glass /, 2, 3, 4,
IL, and 6.
''In 1906, Ardmore was classed
as No. 4. III 1911, it is classed as
No. 4 12, with only two classes
below and four above"

Outlook For Fruit Cron-

Durant, Okla, Feb. 2.-Prospects
for the fruit crop in Southeastern
Oklahoma are not bright. Orchard
owners report serious damage done
by the drouth of last summer and
fall. Many of the peach and apple
trees are dead, while even a more
serious loss has been suffered on
grapes. The buds on pear trees are
badly swollen and will be open next
week if the warm weather continues.

Military Punishments.

In times past the military code
was no less stern and uncompromising
than the civil Sentence of death was
readily decreed and as promptly eXecu-
ted. Where offenses multiplied and
wholesale executions would have
weakened the army numerically. de-
cimation-the slaughter Of every
tenth man-was the rule, or the
troops gambled for their lives by cast
ing dice upon a drumhead or drawing
lots under the gallows tree.
Lesser penalties, not capital but
physical, and causing pain with per-
manent degradation, were manning,
branding the cheek or forehead, bor-
ing the tongue or cutting the nose
and ears. These last named were re-
tained upon the military statute book
until the reign of Queen Anne. The
"trappado" was a fiendish device by
which delinquent was hoisted on
high by rope fastened to his arms
and then dropped down by sudden
jerk that often dislocated his should.
ers. Hanging by the thumbs, some
times called picketing, was also prac-
ticed, while the body was raised to
such a height and its whole weight
rested on one toe, and that again on
a charp.noinfaJ cpiEa
To ride the wooden horse" was to
be mounted on a razor-edge, with
weights fastened to the extremities.
Running the gauntlet or "gente-
lope" was as old as the Cromwellian
army, and it is thus described in an
army order about 1919: The culprIts
(who had been guilty of blasphemy
as well as deer stealing) were to be
stripped naked from the waist up
ward and lane made by half the
lord generals regiment OF foot and
half Colonel Pride's, with every man

be run through in this posture so that
every soldier might have a stroke at
their naked backs, breasts or arms,
wherever it might alight"-Tt Bits.
