Cold Blows the Wind Across the Moor

Yesterday and last night was a
hang over from the good old summer
time. Today is the hang over from
thel asst blizzard coupled with and
made a part of the next one now due
to arrive. Up to six o'clock this
morning the weather was perfect so
far as temperature was concerned.
However, all through the night a
drizzle of rain had fallen. After six
o'clock the wind suddenly shifted
to the north and the mercury has
been falling steadily all day while
the breezes caress like an adder and
"sting like an asp" In the terri
tory Immediately adjacent to Ard
more the rain fell heavily during the
early morning hours. John CHM, of
the sheriff's office who was called
to Durwood at an early hour reports
heavy rainfall at that place while
parties who are in the city from
the southeastern part of the county
say that heavy rain fell there also.

STEALING OUR THUNDER.
Ernest Worthy Belongs to Carter
County-None Other Need Claim Him

County-None other Need Claim Him
We do not object to an occasional
neighboring newspaper swiping some
of our news items. We do not kick
when something is snatchei bodily
from the editorial pages and run
without credit being given. We dc
not kick when some of the papers
of the larger cities in Oklahoma COB
BILE up our thunder just because we
do mt kick" but when the news
papers of Oklahoma generally step in
and reproduce our story of Ernest
Worthy, the boy cotton king" and
run it without changing a line, even
to saying that young Worthy resides
in this county" then we think ii
time for the worm to turn.
From Muskogee clear up to the
Colorado border this has been the
case. We do not ask the newspapers
of the state to credit the article 10
the Ardmoreite if they do not wish
are each and every one
welcome &c purloin the story-but
we do ask and expect them to give
Carter county credit for the boy,
Ernest Worthy is Carter county boy.
Carter county is proud of him and
does not propose to see any other
claim him. Hence we register
this monumental kick. See?

INDIAN LANDS
MADE TAXABLE
CHlCkASAW FREEDMEN NOT
sENEFIClARlEs OF THE ATokA
AGREEMENT, SAYS JUDGE.

Pauls Valley, Okla, Jan. 19.-One
of the most important decisions rem.
dered since the admission of Okla
homa into the union was that by
District Judge Mcmillan, Saturday,
in the case Of Stephen w. Allen
against j. F. Trimmer, county treas
urer of Garvin county. In this case
several hundred Chickasaw freedmen
sought to enjoin the tax officers from
collecting taxes levied upon lands
allotted to Chickasaw freedmen, upon
the ground that under federal trea-
ties their lands are exempt from
taxation,
Judge Mcmillan sustained the con
tentions made by Assistant Attorney
General Davenport to the effect that
these Chickasaw freedmen do not
hold their lands under the Atoka
agreement Of 1898, containing the
exemption, but under the supple
mental agreement, ami further that
the forty acres of land allotted to
each Chickasaw freedman was q
gratuity, gift or bounty from the |
federal government, and that even
though there were an exemption |
named in the act allotting the lands, .
that congress was empowered TO |
withdraw the exemption and that the
if any, being without con-
;ideration from the freedmen, there
