company permission to operate the
government steam plant at Shelf
field, Ala, now idle, in efforts to
relieve the power shortage which is
threatening to interfere seriously
with industries in the five states of
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee.

VERDICT RETURNED !
IN KE|LEY'S FAVOR.

Mrs Katherine Bristol, a former
chorus girl, lost her suit for $780,
900 damages against John Kelley,
WelI-knoWn Atlanta business man,
in a verdict returned at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon by jury in
Judge Ellis division of the Fulton
superior court. Mrs. Bristol brought
suit against Mr.. Kelley alleging that
he gave her liquor in his Baltimore
apartment in November, 1919, which,
destroyed her eyesight. 1t was al
legged that the liquor contained wood
alcohol.
The jury was out about two hours
Wednesday afternoon before return
ing the verdict for the defendant.
Hearing on the suit began last
Thursday and was one of the most
bitterly contested cases ever heard
in Fulton county. The trial was
featured~by numerous sharp clashes
between Attorney Reuben r. Ar
mold, leading counsel for the de-
Tense, and Attorney E. G. Buch.
anan, for the plaintiff.
The plaintiffs case was based
upon an alleged plot on the part Df
Mr.. Kelley to destroy Mrs. Bristol,
following the death of Miss Lucille
Sharp in his Baltimore apartment.
1t was contended by plaintiffs coun.
sci that Mrs. Bristol "knew too
much" and Mr.. Kelley wanted to
get her out of the way.
" A counter-charge was made by
counsel for the defense that the suit
AGAINST Mr.. Kelley was scheme to
extort money. Attorney Arnold, IN
addressing the jury Wednesday,,
said he did not think Mrs. Bristol
brought the suit of her own Volt
ton, but was dragged into it, by
outside influences. He intimated
that j. w. Barwick, who is at pres
ent said to be very friendly, with
Mrs. Bristol, was the man behind
the suit"
Mrs. Bristol was represented by At
torneys E. c. Buchanan and James
K. Jordan, while Attorneys Reuben

REDSKlN HERO OF WAR
NOW HUNTS AND FISHES
BY CONDO

IDABEL, Okla.-On a small farm
in McCurtain county, thirty-siX
miles over rough roads from Idabel,
Joseph Oklahombi, a ChactaW In
dian, is hunting and fishing, raising
corn and helping his neighbors at
harvest time.
A half-dozen persons in Idabel
-ould be found who remembered eX-
actly what part Oklahombi played in
the World war-yet it was he who
captured I'll German prisoners sin
gle-handed and was decorated and
cited by Marshal Petain, of France.
as the second greatest American
hero that the war produced Alvin
York was ranked first.
Oklahembi, however, when ques-
toned by Mrs C. C. Conlan, of the
Oklahoma Historical society, who
also is a Choctaw, saw nothing Pc
culiar in this lack of recognition, she
said. He did only his duty, she
added, and is now back home with
his wife and baby carrying on as his
forefathers carried on. Olxlahombi is
a full blood.
His name, taken from the Choc-
taw, means, in their languae, man
killer" according to an interpreter
1t is not directly connected with the
name Oklahoma, presented to the
state, which is a combination of two
Choctaw words.
Oklahombi was enrolled in compa-
ny D, One Hundred and Forty first
infantry, Twenty-siXth division, as
a private, twentysix years old.
When he enlisted he could not speak
English, but that he could speak the
language of warfare in fighting for
lbs country is evidenced by the word
ing Of the citation from General Pc
tain after which he received the
.CroiX de Guerre.
The citation readsS under a vio-
lent barrage he dashed to the attack
of the enemy position, covering 200
yards, through barbed wire entangle-
ments. He rushed on machine gun
nests, capturing III prisoners. He
stormed a strongly held position
containing a number of trench NOR
tars, turned this captured gun on
the enemy and held said position for
four days in spite of a constant ba-
rage of large projectiles and gas
shells. He crossed No Mans Land
many times to get information con-
corning his wounded comrades"
Asked what he thought of the
army, with a smile he replied: "Too
much salute; not enough shoot"
Mrs. COnlan said today.
