tSpeciaL)-Judge G. W Clarke Of
the Oklahoma county district court.
this evening dismissed the application
for a permanent injunction against
the anti-gambling law. The case was
pending since last Tuesday when a
temporary restraining order was
granted The court held that as tho
vote showed on its face that as the
gambling law had been sus-
tanned by good majority it was not
in the jurisdiction Of the court to dis
turb the expression of the people, as
they held the highest power. The
courts position was similar to that
OF the supreme court in a similar
case. Attorneys for the applicants
