Bills in Oklahoma

ARDMORE, Okla, Nov. 28.-Sheriff
Ewing C. London, of Carter county, IN
dicted on eight counts by grand jury
yesterday, late today was suspended
from office pending his trial before dis
trict Judge w. F. Freeman, December 8.
Jim Cruise Of Ardmore was appointed
acting sheriff by Judge Freeman.
The suspension came at the end Of a
bitter legal fight lasting nearly two
hours.
London's attorneys challenged the
jurisdiction of the court and asked for
time to prepare an answer to the accu-
sation contained in the indictments, but
Judge Freeman overruled both objec-
tions. They served notice Of appeal
then to the state supreme court. Cruse's
bond was fixed at $4,000. This he quick
ly furnished and was sworn in.
London was charged with failure to
enforce the liquor law, permitting free
dom to persons committed to Jail and
irregularities in making reports and
handling certain funds.
He issued a statement denying all the
charges.
London succeeded Buck Garrett, when
the latter was ousted as sheriff in 1922
following sensational trial and de-
feated him in the election last year
when Garrett attempted a comeback.

PARIS, Nov 28.-Cats are becoming
SO popular with furriers that they now
need their proverbial nine lives more
than ever.
The only difference between the
sleek well-bred household favorite and
the ordinary, low-caste prowler of the
