At the trial of the case in the county
court, evidence of a sensational char-
aeter was introduced concerning the
bringing of Indian witnesses. The In-
dian woman, it was claimed, was liv-

ter in Sapulpa at the lime of her death,
having left her husband, it was assert-
ed, because he had driven her out ot
her home, forcing her to sleep all night
in a field, contracting a cold which
resulted in her death.
The purported will is said to have
been made the day she died, and was
witnessed by the United States Com-
missioner, W. W. Hyams of Tulsa, and
contention of the state banking board a prominent banker and lawyer oL
Sapulpa. The woman was unable lo
that the supreme court having passed
on the question as to the law being
confiscatory and without due process
of law that this question Is settled in-
sofar as the subordinate courts are con-
cerned, and it ends the removal of such
cases from ihe Btate courts to the fed-
eral tribunals upon this question alone.
The case was that of the state bank-
ing board against People's National
bank of Kingfisher county. The Peo-
ple's National ivas a state bank, which
hnd been converted to a natloifal bank,
and it wus claimed by the state bank-
ing board that It owed the state as-
sessment made before the change.
The bank removed the cause1 to the
federal court claiming that a consti-
tutional question was involved in that
the assessment was confiscatory ami
an attempt to deprive it of Its prop-
erty without due process of law, con-
trary to the federal constitution. Thp
court saw no nmrit in the plea, and
said that this question having already
been decided by the federal supreme
court contrary to the bank's claim,
that the lower courts are bound by
that decision, and no federal question
was involved. For this reason the
court refused to take jurisdiction of
the case, and denied the a migration
for removal, the case going hack to
the state court.
write or talk English, and she signed
the will with a thumb print.
The heirs of the woman who are
practically cut oft with nothing are
contesting the will and claim that the
woman's thumb print was placed on
the will after she was dead. Shortly
after the first trial of the case, Addle
Nero, an Indian woman, and, next to
Grayson, Ihe chief beneficiary under
the will, and an important witness was
found dead in her home near Ked
Fork. Her husband, William Nero, was
charged with the crime and is now in
jail awaiting a trial next month. Nero
in a prellminiary trial said that he shot
his wife accidentally in a struggle over
possession of a shotgun, but this was
later disproven by the state when Ihe
body was examined and no evidence
of a shot wore found. It was shown
that her head had been beaten in with
a blunt instrument.
It is asserted that this murder will
play an important part in the case.
The cost of hauling and feeding the
roughage for the cattle when in a dry
lot. Is not a small item. Bad weather
Is another objectionable feature—more
feed Is required by a steer to make
the same gain.
The feeding practice for more profit
Is this; Common feeders—Cattle In
thin flesh—may he bought at a low
price. Get steers two or three years
old. Feed them plenty of roughage to
keep them in good condition until they
are turned out on grass. A few hours
a day on pasture Is long enough at
first, until their systems get accus-
tomed to the change. Feed the steers
running on grass a ration of 8 to 14

pure food and drug department, drug-
gists are cautioned to standardize their
ocicial preparations. "The policy of

A young lady living In a small city
hnd impaired her health by too con-
fining work In a city office, says
Christian Herald. Her physician or-
dered her to a sanitarium for rest and
upbuilding, and when she returned 10
work he Instructed her to eat four
fresh-laid eggs daily; two eggs for
breakfast, and the others raw. In milk.
Finding it difficult to obtain depend-
ably fresh eggs, she persuaded her
mother to permit her having a small
flock in the home yard. A portable
house was purchased and fifteen pul-
lets installed in it. A small brother
was paid 10 cents a w'eek to feed and
pounds of corn. Begin with a light
ration und work up gradually to the
maximum. . They should be ready to
market tho latter part of July.
Prime corn-fed cattle are scarce
during the summer, as moBt of the
feeders In the lots are finished and
shipped out before this time. The
packers must have cattle with some
finish, and they pay a good price to
get them. Coming on the market at
this time, the steers fed on grass will
bring almost as good a price as stock j
fed a full grain ration In a dry lot. i
The success of this plan of feeding 1
Is due to the low price at which tho ]
cattle can be bought and the thin con-
dition of the animals coming in the
common class of feeders. Making eco
nomical gains is not a breed but a
type characteristic. Often the best
and poorest gains made are by indi-
viduals of the same breed.
Less labor is required with summer
feeding. The cattle gather their
roughage, and the manure produced
by them is distributed, and evenly. In
winter, dry-lot-feeding steers are fed
a ration of 18 to 22 pounds of grain
and 6 to 8 pounds of hay apiece, when
on full feed.
