POSTPONE CRIMINAL COURT.
Lack of Funds Causes Postponement
of District Court.

Ardmore, April II, 1911.
To the Public:
1t was the purpose to begin the
criminal docket on Monday, May s..
1911, yet. having been officially in
formed by the board of county COM
missioners, that the court funds for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1911,
being exhausted and it being in viola
ton of the law to issue further war
rants beyond the amount already is
sued, and not willing to require jurors
and witnesses to attend court without
their services being promptly paid for,
it is deemed necessary to postpone
require the services of jurors and wit
nesses whom are to be paid by the
county. Hence the criminal docket
will not be tried until further notice
thereof
The civil docket will be called,
Monday morning, May 1, proximo, for
the purpose of settling all pleadings
that are due to be settled, which will
require, probably, the first week in
May to dispose of.
During the first week in May, If
there are matters that can be tried
before the court, they will be heard.
There will be ample money to meet
all the expenses, but for the fact that
about 35 per cent of the taxable prop
erty of the county is tied up by in
functions against the collection Of
taxes. The conditions confronting US
make this action necessary and right
to postpone the holding of the court.
Very respectfully.
S. II. RUSSELL,
District Judge.
