JUDGE RAYMOND
AGAIN ON BENCH
Race; Case May Be Resumed
Before End of the
Week.

Judge W. S. Raymond Of the circuit
court returned to the bench today and
devoted his attention to number of
matters that were awaiting him. The
Judge was out yesterday but kept the
court open for but a short session. AS
the end of the present term of the
circuit courtis near at hand It is un-
likely that much new business will
be- transacted. ~ Every effort will be
made to finish all the work that has
been begun atthis session by Saturday
and the. court will probably adjourn
at that time. The beginning OF the
June term is but three weeks away
and the Judge wishes to be fully re.
covered SO that the postponed crimi.
nal docket can be dispatched at that
time. The Race case, which is still
unfinished may be completed at this
term II the presence of Mr.. Race can
be secured. The motion to set aside
the vei dict In this case is yet to be
argued and II this is overruled by the
court sentence will be! passed, conclud-
ing the case. It was thought today
that Race would beSpresent tomorrow
or the next day. lt>

powerful bear was trapped at Stony
Bottom, this county, Saturday. 1t
weighed nearly 400 pounds and had y
fine hide. The bruin was a sheep.
killer aed when caught in the trap 1t
carried the trap nearly a mile, and
was only stopped when the trap be.
came entangled In a wire fence.
1T Is believed that the bear was i'm.
mune to the effects Of strychnine, be.
cause It ate so much bait poisoned
with that chemical. The natives say
that during the past winter they set
quantities of bait poisoned with
strychnine and the bait was always
eaten, but never killed the animal
which devoured It. Foot marks show.

Weekly Crop SUMMARY

Rain occurred over the State early
In the week and. although 1t was not
heavy. 1t was of great benefit to crops
and to vegetation generally. There
after the temperatures were too cool
for the good growth Of crops, and the
weather was clear until the ara, when
rain again fell over the State. Farm
work advanced rapidly, and a great
deal OF the late blowing. which had
been held back by the hard. dry condi-
ton of the soil. was done. Good
progress was also made In other iines
of field work. such as planting OF corn
and peanuts, and haying. Some to-
bacco was transplanted. but this work
has been hampered by the unfavor-
able weather of the past few weeks
which left the fields too dry TO pre-
pare for the crop. However, much
OF This work was done during the
week and II Is probable that planting
will now proceed actively. Wheat and
oats are doing we'll In most sections
of the State. but. locally the long. dry
spell was injurious.

pion of the great west, has. been
matched for Is rounds with Harry
Lindsey, the local favorite. at the
Dreamland theater, North Green

isfaction by the fistic fans of Tulsa.
There's no doubt of the quality of
Williams and he is expected to make
an excellent showing against the man
who has licked almost everyone he
has appeared against.
The boys will work out every day
until the contest at the Dreamland
theater. where their friends will be
welcomed. Lindsey is in excellent
condition but intends taking no
chance and will work diligently. Will
liams has engaged in many bouts re-
Gently and is said to be in the best
condition of his career. Williams
undoubtedly is the most likely speci-
men Lindsey ever has met, with the
exception of Jeff Clark, and there are
many who think he vii! he victorious.

known for the excellence of their en-
tertainments. There always is an
