iff B. R. Rayburne and his deputies at
their posts of duty.
The bond of C. M. Litchfield charg-
ed with the murder of W. L. Collins
was declared insufficent by the court
on the motion and showing made by
the county attorney and the defendant
was required to make a new bond,
which he did, with some of the same
sureties who scheduled differently.
C. Terry of Wynnewood and George
Schutte of near McCarty were imme
diately arrested on a charge of perjury
made against them by the county at-
torney growing out of their affidavits as
sureties on Mr- Litchfield's original
bond. They have not yet had an ex-
amining trial on the charges.
Mr Schutte has asked tq be reliev-
ed from the second bond made, and
the defendant was given two days by
the Court to secure additional security.

with assault to rape, was also declared
insufficient by the court on the show
ing made by the county attorney and
he was also required to make a new
bond and did so.

to our readers as an exemplary citizen

requiring the exercise of all the ability
necessary to fill the office ke seeks,—
and that he has filled the* well and

at the hands of the voten.

less of the distance of the con*
veyance or carrying if it be
from any one locality in the
state to another dietinct and
separate locality, is unlawful
and punishable by a fine and

Accordingly the man who is
caught and brought before the

whiskey (or any other whiskey
in a broken or opened package)
on his person or in nis posses-
sion will have hard sledding in
