Banks Must PAY Taxes.

Chickasha, Okla, Sept. 24,-Follow
ing a presentation of the case last
ing only few minutes, Judge Camp
bell of the federal court of the east
ern district, at Muskogee, denied the
application for an injunction to re-
strain the treasurer of Grady county
from collecting taxes from certain
national banks of Chickasha on the
basis of the valuation fixed by the
county assessor. Judge Campbell de-
MED the application on the grounds
that his court had no jurisdiction in
the case
The refusal of the federal court to
take jurisdiction in the case, leaves
the decision of Judge Bailey of the
district court of this county in force
and the banks will therefore be re-
quired to pay the entire amount lev
led against them.

CASE OF POLLOCK VS.. BOARD OF
COUNTY SsIoNERS DIS.
POSED OF TODAY.

In the district court this morning
non suit was entered in the case
of Il. j. Pollock VS.. the board of
county commissioners, for the reason
that the plaintiff failed to file an
appeal from the commissioner court

plaintiff seeks to collect $500 alleged
to be due him for making list of
the non taxable Indian lands of the
county while he was tax assessor,
which claim was denied by the old
board of county commissioners, who
allege that it was a part of his du-
ties to compile the same, but which
he clains pay for, the same as
though the lands were taxable.
Upon advice of the court the plain
tiff will again present the claim TO
the board of county commissioners,
and if it is again denied the case will
be tried at the December term.

LAURA REUTER-
MURDER TRIAL
WITNESSES TESTIFY, SHOWING
CAUSE FOR MUROER-PRUIETT
SKATERS TESTIMONY.

Bartlesville, Okla, Sept 24.-lllicit
relations alleged to have existed be-
tween Mrs. Laura NJ. Reuter-, on trial
| for her life, in the distric. court
here is what brought about the mur-
der of her husband, Charles T. Reu-
ter, ap rominent Tulas attorney ac-
cording to the allegations of the state.
Wednesday a dozen witnesses tes-
titled for the state tending to show
that the accused woman was indis-
Greet with Guy Mckenzie, an oil man,
who now is serving d life sentence
in the state penitentiary for the part
he played in the killing.
The state centered its fire around
the statements of the accused wom
an just after the killing of her hus-
band in which it is alleged that she
did not give an immediate alarm af.
ter her husband was shot to death
in his home. That she waited until
after the burglar" had left the
Reuter- home and was making his
get away in an automobile, to raise a
window and sound an alarm, was
testified. There was some confusing
testimony by witnesses called by the
state as to when the defendant
sounded an alarm, and the physical
condition of the accused woman at
the time of their arrival
II was conceded that the state had
bested the defense in the days pro-
ceedings, although one of the coun-
sci for the defense, Moman Pruiett
of Oklahoma City, shattered the tes
timony of a couple of witnesses. The
witnesses were neighbors of Mrs.
Reuter-.
An attempt was made to show that
Mrs. Reuter- was intimate with Nc
Kenzie, but it was not proven that
any illicit relations existed between
them. 1t was shown, however, that
the accused woman and Mckenzie
had acted in manner that may
have been cause for the husband !
to become jealous. That was the |
basis of the killing.
Mrs. Reuters two children, girl |
} years old and a boy S years old,
we're in the court room for the first
ime Wednesday. The first sensation
S expected Thursday when either
Toe Baker, the man who killed Reu-
er, or Grover (Bud) Ballew will be
,alled to the witness stand.

COUNSEL FOR DEPoSED COVER

MOTION IS OYtRRULED
4'''.''." ...,.,,
Counsel for Prosecution Conten--
Answer of Jacob Schff Regarding
Twenty-Five Hundred Dollar Gift 10
Sulzer, be Stricken Out.

Albany, n. Y, Sept 25.-WranSl;ne
over the testimony started with the
opening of the Sulzer impeachment
trial today
The prosecution contended thai the
answer of Jacob Schiff yesterday
when he said that he did not intend
that his twenty-five. hundred dollar
gift to Sulzer as Campaign EXPENSE"
should be stricken from the record.
Judge Cullen, however ovcrrIled
the move to stike out the answer.
Suffers counsel expressed them
selves as well pleased with the re-
suits thus far, and Herrick said thai
it might not be necessary for Sulze"
to take the stand.
Sulzer lost a point when the iH'-
parchment court unanimously voted
to admit all testimony with reference
to campaign contributions received
by the governor, whether they we're
mentioned in the impeachment anti
cles or not. His counsel contended
that he should have been notified so
as to give him a chance to prepare
a defense. The prosecutio, declared
that Sulzer deliberately soIgh' 10 fall
sify his statement, that he accom-.
plished that purpose and that the evil
dence should be admitted.
The test arose when Morris Te-
husky, former president Of the New
York Liquor Dealers began testifylng,
and the defense maintained there was
rothing in the impeachment articles
regarding this witness.
