JENKS' BOARD LOSES
Ruling by Judge Cole Nrcatcs Judg-
ment for Si.4si.90 Trustee Hunt
Obtained TO Pay Bills,

After one OF the most bitter fights
in Tulsa county history, which split
the town OF Jenks wide open and
caused hatred between men who had
formerly been friends, the jerks
school case was finally settled last
week by Judge Redmond $. Cole.
The Judges decision went against
the school board arl In favor OF the
taxpayers who had .!led the suit.
Briefly. Judge Coles ruling set
aside and vacated judgment for
s4,4Si9g obtained against the
school board by John Hunt, trustee
for several creditors, and porman-
emily enjoiued Hunt from collecting
the money or the school board from
paying it. The judgment against
the board was obtained by Hunt
May under written contracts for
personal services which had been as
signed 10 him
Soon Afterwards, several property
owners in the district brought suit
against Hunt and the school board.
claiming that the judgment was the
result OF "A colluslon between Hunt
and the board. The matter has
rocked along in the local district
court for the last two months with
motions and counter motions being
filed by opposing sides. Judge Coles
decision. which places all court
costs on Hunt Is the final move, so
far as local courts are concerned.
During the hottest part OF the
fight, one OF the protesting taxpay-
ers, j. s. Lawhorn was spirited into
the country by unidentified men and
flogged. Several others were threat
ened with similar treatment II they
didn't withdraw from the suit. How
ever. none OF them withdrew. The
taxpayers were represented by Loui,
w. Pratt while the firm OF Masor
& Honnold fought the other side'i
case.

today for the church holiday. the
observance being Whit Monday.
With the trade here left without
any foreign advices as to British
trade sentiment at present and a

far more disposition among the
local trading element long of cot

cent bull movement on the bad
crop reports Of the past month to
realize some profits from the open
ing today. rather than increase
holdings.
This pressure developed from the
initial trading, starting first prices
with declines ranging from 10 to

forenoon prices went of TO a Mkt

Record Time Expected in
Relay Race in England
Cambridge Appears Penn's
Strongest Rival.

Following the arrival in London OF the
University Of Pennsylvania relay team
now on the way across. several days
will be spent in light training at Oxford
University after which similar period
will be spent with the Cambridge under
graduate athletes and the final training
done at the Queens Club. The Penn
sylvania men will be the guests of the
English universities at the annual Ok
at Henley on April /.
Given proper weather and track con-
ditions II is expected that the winner Of
the race will establish a new worlds
record for the four miles now held Jointly
by the Cornell team OF 1915 and the
Boston A. A. team OF 1913. Both COM
binations ran the distance I'm I'm.
81 2-5s. This time gives an average mile
Of a trifle under Am. 2Ss. Past per-
formances OF the Pennsylvania quartet
would appear TO warrant an average
mile in Am. 27s. or better.
Cambridge Is thought to have the bet
ter of the two English university teams
with IL. b. Stallard as the star with his
record of Am. 14s made ia1 SUMNER.
IL is considered doubtful. however. II
either Cambridge or oxford have an
other runner who can approach these
figures and as the Pennsylvania team
averages a very even four miles Ameri-
