the chasm with his rope bridge of logic

AT that, however, the discovery is
trife late. Like all conservatives, the

A number of letters were found in
the room. None gave any clew to the
suicide, except two that were found
folded together. One is letter from
a McComb City girl named BILL the
other, apparently an answer. They
are:
! Dear Geo: l wonder Whist you are

AN IMPORTANT
DECISION RENDERED
JUDGE RUSSELL HOLDS THAT
CHAMPERTY ACT DOES NOT
APPLY TO PROBATE SALES.

Marietta, Okla, March S.-A very
important decision was rendered here
today by Judge Stilwell II. Russell
of Arimore. The question was: does
the champerty act CT Oklahoma ap-
ply to guardian sales?'
The supreme court recently held in
Miller VS.. Friar that when the lie.
fendant had been in possession Of
land holding same adversely for more
than one year that the plaintiff could
not recover if he purchased the lana
while defendant was in possession, al
though defendants deed was void.
In a suit before Judge Russell il
which Clyde Walton was plaintGf and
Tippett ct al, were defendants, the
plaintiff had purchased the land in
controversy at a guardian sale aud
the defendant was in possession and
had held possession under color OF
title for more than one year prior
to the sale to plaintiff.
The court held that the law known
as the champerty statute did not ap-
ply to probate sale.
This question is one CT very great
Importance to the eastern section Of
the state of Oklahoma, where so
much of the Indian lands are held
under various kinds of conveyances
and the minors are not in possession.
If the court had held the other way
the minors, through their guardians,
would have to get possession of their
lands by suit before a guardian sale
would be legal.
Clyde Walton bought the land at
guardian sale and sued for possession.
The defense was that the defendant
had been in adverse possession for
more than one year at the time of
the guardian sale, which was made in
Pushmataha county through the pro-
bate court.
Judge T. C. Humphrey of Hugo
represented the plaintiff and Eddie
man & Graham represented the de-
PENDANTS.

SPECIAL ELECTION MONDAY.
Predicted that the Vote Will be Ligh
No Fight Made.

A special election will be held in
Ardmore Monday and so little inteerst
is being manifested that the vote will
be very light one unless the people
become aroused either for or against
the proposed amendments.
The amendments, if adopted, will
result in paying the commissioners
a salary of s104 year instead of
$500. the tax collector will be dis
pensed with and the clerk will do
his work. The chief of police will
be elected by the people instead of
being appointed by the commission
ers. The amendments make the
chief subject to the recall by the peo-
pie and also subject to dismissal by
the board of commissioners.
The voting place will be at the
city hall.

Now, Without touching the question of
whether this system is right or
wrong, it is the system in vogue. Mr..
Carter, desiring to honor the demo-
cratic committee which he said put
up a gallant fight for our party last
fall. waived his power TO name the
Ardmore postmaster and asked our
committee, those of us who are pat
rons of the Ardmore postoffice, to
choose this officer from among good
democrats. Fifteen of the committee
received mail at Ardmore; thirteen
of them joined in written recon-
mendation of Mr.. C. L. Byrne. The
secretary of the committee, Mr.. Err
rett Dunlap, forwarded this recon-
mendation to our congressman. Sew
enteen committeeman residing in 9TH
er parts of Carter county also en-
dorsed Mr.. Byrne, so that more than
three-fourths of the county commit
tee has acted and their recommenda-
tion is now in the hands of Mr.. Car
ter. AS one member, / believe the
central committee has performed and
ended it's duty in this regard. And ]
further believe all the patrons of
the local postoffice will agree that
we have named a highly competent
man tor postmaster"

A low state of the general health is

ness in children. So in the case of a
backward child it is best to look to-
wards building up it's health. 1t will
usually be found that the main trou-
BILE is in the food, in lack of assimt-
lation and digestion. Hence care
should be taken in the kind of food
given to the child. This, with plenty
df air and exercise, should bring
about a change for the better.
Watch the conditions of the bowels,
