HIS OWN FATHER-lN-lAW.
Mixes Up Things and Wedding is
News to Bride.

New York, Aug. 17.-Members or
the respective family circles OF
George ]. Jordan of Brooklyn and
his wife, who previously had been
his mother in law, are today trying
to figure out their relationship to
each other.
Mr.. Jordan, who is 80 years old,
married his mother-in-law a year
ago. He is celebrating the aniver-
sary of the marriage. Mrs. Jor-
dan is several years her husbands
senior.
Seven and a half years ago he
married her daughter. Miss Blanche
Newmark. Their domestic life was
happy. The brides mother was
much with them, and for once at
least the presence of mother-in-law
was congenial to both sides.
Finally Mrs. Newmark came to live
with Mrs. Jordan, the latter having
made a stipulation to that effect
before her wedding.
The tradition which jokesmiths have
harped on since the fall of man was
utterly upset. because Mr. Jordan
became much attached to his mother
in-law. When his first wife died
she made her husband promise to
take care of her mother. He kept
his word and a year ago married
her.
Just around the corner from Mt.
Jodan's home lives Mrs. Philip New
mark, whose husband is the son OF
Mr.. Jordan's wife. She opened her
eyes wide in surprise when she
was asked today whether her moth
er-in-law had married her late sis
ter-in-law's husband.
It's news to me-" she said. 81
visit Mrs. Newmark continually and
there is not a week that goes by
that We don't see each other. She

COURT
LAND DECISIONS
DECISIONS INVOLVING MANY OF
THIRTY THOUSAND INDIAN
CASES PENDING.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug 17.-Judge
Ralph f. Campbell of the United
States circuit court, in deciding the
remaining questions in connection
with the 10000 land suits brought by
the government to clear title to In
dian lands, held directly contrary to
the supreme court of Oklahoma. IL
his opinion Judge Campbell holds
that the death of an allottee conferr-
ed on his heirs the right to sell the
land inherited including the home
stliction of five years had no effect
when the allottee died This decision
applies to lands in the Creek and
Seminole nation, and is of vast i'm
portance to properr" owners in Mus
kogee and other counties in the Creek
and Seminole country
In the 10000 land suits brought by
the government a number were based
on the assumption that the heirs of an
allottee could not sell the land until
five years after the restrictions were
removed, and this view was taken by
the Oklahoma supreme court. Judge
Campbell takes the opposite view.
The court in all handed down five
opinions covering as many phase
of the suits and practically every
question not decided by the United
States court.
Summary Of Decisions.
A summary of the decisions fol-
lows:
Creek homesteads as we'll as all
surplus lands become alienable i'm
mediately on the death of the allottee,
it making no difference whether
death took place before or after the
five years restrictions.
On the death of a Seminole alloi-
tee all his lands, including home
steads, becomes alienable. and heirs
car make a proper conveyance of this
land.
Restrictions on alienated Choctaw
and Chickasaw lands were not re
moved by the act of Congress passed
April 81, 1904.
Patents in the Choctaw and Chick
asaw countries date from the tire
that they were signed by the last o.
the chiefs of the two tribes. The
time that the deeds were signed by
the secretary of the interior is of no
consequence and the signatures of the
chiefs makes the patents good
The one, three and five-year clause
runs with the land and not with the
individual, in the Chickasaw and
Choctaw nations.
In the decision that makes lands
alienable without the approval of he
secretary of the interior. the land
owners of Oklahoma claim they h
won a big victory
The lands affected by these de Il
sions will run in excess of 1000, 0G0
acres.

GOOD ELECTION OFFICERS.

A better body of men was probably
never chosen to hold an election in
Faulkner county than those who were
named by the county board of election
commissioners Saturday.
The election judges appointed, with
few if any exceptions, are men on
whom their neighbors can depend to
do exact justice to every voter.
Whatever the result of the vote in
this county, there will be no ground
for charges of fraud of any charac-
ter.
The people of the county as we'll as
the election commissioners themselves
are to be congratulated upon the
kind of election judges that have been
appointed.
