WANTED TO HOLD SCHOOL HOUSE
School House Cannot Be Held by Party 10 Whom Land Reverted.

An interesting case was tried be- fore Judge J. D. Shaver in Chancery court last Saturday involving the ownership of a school building in Rural Special School District No. 30, that of the Acorn neighborhoOd.
 Some years ago B. L. Carmack gave to the district an acre of land on which to build a school house. the transfer specifying that the land should revert to Carmack should it's use as a school site be terminated. A short time ago it was decided to move the school to another point nearer Acorn, and steps were taken to move the building to new site. J. C.. Hauer- was was employed to do the job. This Carmack undertook to prevent. and padlocked and wired up the building with the result that a per manent injunction was secured against Carmacks interference with the property. In this the school district was represented by T. D. Reid, J. C. Garland, Hardy Jones, W. E. Reed, Gurley Hale and R. w. Gilstrap.
 In the trial Saturday deci- sion was rendered to the effect that the building could not be held by Carmack and could be removed by the school district at any time with in six months.
 The district was represented by Judge Wright Prickett and Mr. Carmack by Pole McPhetrige.

 Local cattle men who have been grazing their herds in the ChOctaw country across the state llne were considerably stirred up last Friday by the actions of three men who claimed to be cattle tax collectors for the Department of the Interior. They gathered up quite a bunch of steers, getting twenty-siX from Ed Myers, and drove them hastily westward. It is claimed by the cattle men that the credentials of the col lectOrs were not regular and that they used undue haste in getting the cattle away. Be that as it may. il is hardly probable that any sane man would take double chances on impersOnating federal officers and stealing cattle.
