The Texas press is uniting in joyful
sound songs of praise because the
legislature of that state has adjourn
ed. The general rejoicing at the adj
fournment of the legislature is not
new; in Alabama the people only
let the legislature get together every
four years, says the Montgomery Ad-
yertiser. Alabama is astute. May
be Georgia will yet see the folly Of
a yearly session of her legislature,
which is now almost on the eve Of
awakening.

The "Mad Dog" Dog.

Not every excited and scared ca
nine is a victim of rabies, and the
Woman's Pennsylvania Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
has done well to issue a remonstrance
calling public attention to the sense
less practice of Unfortunately con-
sidering a dog mad" because it gets
excited, runs fast and snaps at some
body.
A homeless dog often has a good
excuse for regarding himself as a
social Ishmaelite of the animal world.
He has been chivied about from pill
lar to post; boys have tied cans to
his tail or stoned him; he has been
kicked away from the garbage can
and suffered to go hungry and water
less. Is it surprising if sometimes he
loses his bland and genial temper
and "runs amuck?" This natural
canine resentment is not to be char
acterized as rabies" by those who
do not know what they are taking
about. Nor is it necessary to urge
when in doubt shoot" as the first
and best procedure.
There have been many cases
wherein children have been literally
scared into fits by being Informed
that the dog that bit them was mad.
In such an instance not long ago the
little boy that was the victim OF such
a hasty and inaccurate diagnosis died
of commissions brought on by his ter
ror, and only when it was, lamenta-
bly,, too late was it discovered that
the dog did not have the rabies. Too
often, as in Goldsmith's poem on the
mad dog. "the man it was that died.

INDIAN 5 Slayer
IS OUT ON BOND
TOM HOPPER Is RELEASED AFT
ER SPENDING ONE DAY
AND NIGHT IN JAIL
MANY FRIENDS INTERCEDE
Character of Young Man Above Re
proach-Self Defense Plea Seems
to BE Well Founded.

Tom Hopper, who shot and killed
his father-in-law Chisso Childers,
spent just "a hours in Jail. He was
released yesterday evening from the
county bastile, on IA $1,000 bond.
There were many proffers Of bonds
and bond for a million dollars could
easily have been given by the young
farmers friends. A steady stream Of
we'll known, called at the courthouse
yesterday and testified to the good
character of Hopper.
Childers probably will be buried
today, in an Indian burial ground
near his farm, west of the city. He
will be the sixth Of the family to go
to a grave, following a shooting af-
fray or an accident.
Hopper told the officials yesterday
of the facts surrounding the killing.
He exhibited a knife wound on his
arm, inflicted by Childers a few
hours before the shooting took place.
The ofiivers found an open knife and
a monkey wrench beside Childer' s
body a few minutes after the killing.
1t was with these that Childers was
going to kill him, according to Hop
per, who said that he had to shoot
TO protect his own life. He claims
Childers was drunk.
While information has been filed
against Hopper. charging him with
murder, no date for preliminary
hearing has been set 1t is rumored
that the case Is likely TO be dropped
without any hearing, but County At
torney Malloy would issue no state
ment to that effect last night.

OKLAHOMA NOW
HAS A Coroner
NEW CODE CLEARS UP \ LONG
DISPUTE As TO THE
CORONERS.
]. P. AUTHORIZED TO ACT
lIarris-Day Code Provides Full Pro-
Ccdure for Performance of
the Duhes.

The adoption Of the Harris Day
code by the recent legislature has
had the effect of settling finally the
dispute as to the existence in this
state of such an office as coroner, ana
the powers and duties of the justices
Of the peace, acting as such coroner
In explanation Of article IL, entitled
Coroner" found in volume / of the
code, the compilers say:
by reason Of the omission Of tho
coroner from the county officers pre-.
scribed by the constitution, there Is
now no such Office in the state, but
as justices Of the peace perform the
functions Of coroner, the procedure
set forth In this article must be pre-
served for their guidance"
The authority of the justice of tho
peace to act as coroner is set forth
in section 1853 Of the code and is as
follows
when there is no coroner, or in
the case Of his absence, or inability to
act, any justice of the peace of tho
same county is authorized to perform
the duties Of coroner in relation to
dead bodies and the justice so acting
shall receive same fees as coroners."
THE coroner shall hold the inquest
only on the bodies of such persons.
the cause of whose death Is unknown
and who is supposed to have died
from unlawful means, but in no case
shall the coroner hold any inquest
10 -
known, or there is reasonable pre-
sumption that the dead person has
died from unlawful means. When Il
becomes necessary to hold an INQUEST
the coroner shall summon forthwith
SIX citizens of the county TO appear
before him at time and place named
TO act as jurors. If any Juror fails
to appear, the coroner shall summon
the proper number from bystanders"
Section 1874 empowers the Justice
of the peace to issue subpoenas for
witneGses to require n surgeon or
physician to make a post mortem eX-
animation for which he shall receive
$500 per day and cents per mile,
and empowers the justice of the
peace TO punish for contempt as in
other cases
The oath to be administered to wit
nesses at nm inquest Is contained in
section 1875, and Is as follows:
You do soemnly swear that the
testimony which you shall give at
this inquest concerning the death Of
the person here lying dead. shall he
the truth the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth. so help you, God"
Section 1876 requires tat the tes-
timony taken be reduced to writing
and subscribed by the witnesses. and
empowers the Justice of the peace to
place such witnesses under bond for
their appearance at an examining
trial.
This has vitally affected Tulsa
county and yesterday County Attor-
ney Malloy addressed letter 10 each
justice of the peace In this county,
lnstructing them how to act in such
cases. Justice Slack of Tulsa, who,
regardless of former decision Of
County Attorney Malloy, has been
acting as coroner. will now be allow
ed to draw fees which have been held
up on account of the dispute In re.
