County Commissioners Sustained.

County Commissioners Sustained.
The suprenss court has sustained the
county commissioners of Garfield
county in the matter of refusing to
pay the claims of two deputy sher-
IFS, Robert Bebb and John Gregg, for
$500 a day each in guarding prisoners

county court ordered the commission
ers to pay the claim. The commits
sioners allowed part of the claim, the
men accepting the payments. The
case has been in the court three years.
The supreme court holds:
"A county is not liable to a deputy
sheriff for SO day for services as
guard while carrying persons adjudged
insane to the state HOSPITAL for the
insane.
"a person presenting a claim
against county, part of which was
allowed and part disallowed, who
accepts a warrant for the part of the
claim allowed. cannot thereafter main
tain suit against the county for the
part Of the claim disallowed."

Oklahoma's cotton crop will reach
10000 bales If frost holds of until
November 5, according to Mr.. Round
tree of Paris, Texas, head of the firm
of Roundtree G. Co., who was in Okla
homa City last week. Mr.. Roundtree
says he has made study OF the cot
ton situation in Oklahoma and de-
'clares planters have no reason to COM
plain at the present time. He esti-
mates the crop for this state at 775,OOO
bales in case frost comes by Novem-
Der 1.
For twenty years the average time
of the first killing frost each fall was
found to be November 5. Within the
past five years there have been sew
'eral early frosts and the average for
twenty-five years is brought down to
November /. The weather at present
is ideal for cotton, according to Mr..
Roundtree and every day of sunshine
means hundreds of bales more.
Mr.. Roundtree says that even as
far south as Paris, Texas, the cotton
movement is slow yet, but cotton men
are elated over the prospect for a
bumper crop at good prices.
Northern railroad men say that in
their opinion the demand for cotton
seed products, such as cotton seed
meal and cotton seed cake will not be
so great through the cattle feeding
states the coming winter owing to

which is available

Widows Pensions In Okla. County

Widows Pensions In Okla. County.
The burden on Oklahoma county
taxpayers as the result OF operation
Of the widows pension law will be
about as heavy as one solitary straw
On the broad back of an elephant, ac-
cording to a statement by County
Judge William H. Zwick, after he had
worked for some time figuring on all
phases Of the measure.
Judge zwick has had complete
charge of distributing the widows
funds in this county, and after devot-
ing practically all his time this week
to the work, has disposed of the big
first rush of the husbandless to take
advantage Of the offer Of aid. TAX
ing up each widows case individually,
digging down to the bottom Of every
one. Judge Zwick has discovered cir.
camstances that he never before
thought Of. He has become intensely
interested in the widows.
So the judge took a pencil and
piece of paper during leisure mo-
ment and set about to figure out just
what this assistance for the widows
will cost. The result showed that a
man who pays taxes on 500 worth of
property will be required to pay the
county just l cent additional for the
widows.
Oklahoma county has arranged to
give the widows $4,000 this year. This
is more than any other county in the
state will give, some even setting
aside such small sum as 5000 or
5000. 1t is this benefit fund of $4,000
that will cost the taxpayers Just l
cent on $780,
The average monthly allowance
given those two score of widow
mothers whose cases have been passed
on by the court is $8.46.
