The Hurke A Krotfn contempt im-
prisoninent has assumed a very belli-
gerent attitude. A three-cornered
light is on today. Judge Scott re-
turned from Perry la*t uight and litis
morning began proceedings to remove
Sheriff l-glitmaster and appoint John
Scott in his place and also to oust Pro-
bate .Judge Stewart.
1'aprre w« re also being prepared to
have Judge Henry W. Scott arrested
on the charge of insanity. Doctors
state they will testify that he is not
in his right mind.
His triple light is becoming very ex-
citing and is stirring up the whole
Koliliery at lllarkliurii.
One night last week, just as Carle S.
Ilradley, the manager of Skinner's
store at HlaeUburn, Osage nation, was
about to close fur the night, two men
armed with Winchesters and six shoot-
ers, which they used as arguments,
persuaded him that it was too early to
close business f« r the night and that
they, especially were in the need of
some provisions ami what loose cash
there was on hand. Placing Carl in
the center of the store with 'lis hands
divinely raised and himself looking
down the barrel of a winchester,
which to h i in looked about the size of
a salt barrel, they proceeded to help
themselves to such things as silk hand-
kerchiefs. tine shirts, buck gloves,
cartridges and Mr. llradley's tine gold
watch. Being unable to open the
cash drawer they relieved Carl from
his ul) com for table |* sition long enough
for him to open the drawer ami for
them to pocket about 8.'7 in cash
This being all the cash they were able
to g«-t hold of and having all the other
things they were able to carry,
marched Carl about a quarter of a mile
to where their horses were lied, bill
him farewell and wished him much
1 ucce?on life's journey.

EIHTOftS W ltKE ,v UROIVN.
Kditors Hurke A lirown of the Okla-
homa City Times-Journal were Satur-
day released from jail by the probate
judge, who has equal jurisdiction of
the district court and later were re-
committed to jail upon a telegram
from Judge Scott. So far the editors
have used none but legal methods to
liberate themselves. It is to be hoped
that they will stand to that manner
of conduct and not play the syco-
phants, making a cringing apology in
order to gain their freedom. If they
were wrong, they were wrong at first
and should have made proper repara-
tion: if they were right they should
stick to it. '1 he principle involved is
more than merely their personal com-
fort or discomfort by being jailed.
Their conduct so far has been manly.
They have done nothing they need be
ashamed of The Times-Journal never
has been a journal of dirty, mud sling-
ing. It will be hard for Judge Scott
toshowthat. If it does not fall into
that fault now it is bound to win in its
present light in the long run. The
people of Oklahoma will not desert
them if they are right, in spite of the
power of the court. That they mean
to stay by their position taken, the
following open editorial indicates:
"This tight that the Tiiues-Jour-
nal has waged, and which lias
brought upon it the displeasure of
Judge Scott, has been for the right)
for the enforcement of the law, for
equal rights to rich and poor. We are
right and we will follow the policy to
the end. Right will prevail finally,
despite in famous assumptions of power
and authority by an appointed court,
that owes no allegiance to this people.
• It is infamous to be forced to go to
jail for advocating right, but it would
be dauinable ti) truckle to such an as-
sumption of power. If need be, the
editors of the Times-Journal can serve
out their full term in jail, and still
other terms. We shall use all legal
means to avoid it, for such a
punishment is a fearful one, but
when we exhaust those means, or
are denied legal means of redress,
we shall acquisce. We have counseled
only legal measures, and have frowned
down any suggestion to use other
mean- We do not want violence, for
there is enough of that io the arbi-
trary acts and monstrous sentences of
thejother side. But we do want jus-
tice, ami an assurance that the rights
of an American citizen are as sacred in
Oklahoma. a< elsewhere in the United
States.
Every criticism ever uttered by the
rimes-Journal against the acts of
Judge Scott have been in the interest
of the government, in the interest of
the poor as against monopoly, in the
interest of equal rights to rich and
poor. If that be a crime, then we are
steeped in it. Contempt punishment
w'.ll not satisfy it, nor atone for our
wrongs. Make the punishment com-
mensurate with the crime. Make it a
life sentence, for we have committed
that crime daily for five years.
Judge Scott's personality never en-
tered our miuds. His private life has
never been coin merited upon, and
no epithets have been lluug at him.
Nor have we cared one whit for the
dignity of the court. The only way to
dignify the court is for the court to
conduct itself in a dignified manner.
Just sentences: absence of bias and of
choler; courteous treatment of the
poorest wretch brought to the bar of
the court; those ate the things that
dignify the court. No other sort of
dignity concerns the people. They do
uot care for the Hub dubs that a vain
court surrounds itself with.
No tiu'k citizen can believe the
people of Breckinridge's district will
so degrade the morality of the land as
to return that rotten old carcass to
congress. His gall is unparalleled]
He is scattering circulars through his
district attributing the result of the
trial to Judge Bradley's bias in in-
structing the jury. In order to make
it appear that the verdict was unjust,
however, it will be necessary to show
that Mr. Breckinridge's own testimony
was perjured.
t novhit hail as well be hunting up a
substitute. It would be embarrassing
to him to have none engaged when the
war between the Coxeyites aud the
Washington authorities opens up.
COST OF WHEAT PRODUCTION.
The Times-Journal, during the late
confinement of its editors, let up on
Judge Scott, from their sanctum in
the county jail long enough to declare
that "wheat can be raised" for less
than in cents a bushel in Oklahoma,"
and gives the following figures by a
farmer to prove it:
Plowing, 1140
Harrowing 10
Seed 50
Drilling 20
Harra Udg .. . ISO
Thrashing 110
Total cost fli!5
Yield of wheat at 20 bushels per
acre, 2,000 bushels. Value at 40 cents
per bushel, SHOO. Net gain from 100
acres, 8375.
Our friend's estimate is a little lame,
in that it does not take into account
the repair of fences, the price of
throwing and the yield. It will cost
at leHrfc ?}."> a year to keep up the
fences; the threshing can not be done
for less than 8 cents a bushel, and the
yielo in Oklahoma will not average 20
bushels. In most states the wheat
average is not more than half
that amount, but suppose we estimate
the yield at fifteen bushels, allow 8
cent- for threshing and b!~> for repairs
of fences, etc.

In addition to the grain product, in
this •ilmate the stock feed item is a
big * ne. The straw and green pasture
will vinter fifty head of stock cattle,
wort $200. Thus the net percentage
of ga'n is 23X.
Tiik IjI Ueno Democrat is among the
few democratic organs who have stood
for statehood any way we can get it,
declaring single statehood a vague
hope. It says, in its last issue: "The
cry of 'single statehood or none' is
heaid no more. It seems now that if
we have statehood at all it will be
stat#ho)d for Oklahoma alone, with
perhaps a provision allowing the five
tribes to unite with Ok lain una when
they get ready to dissolve their tribal
relations This is the position that
the Democrat has taken all along and
it is the only practical solution of the
question."'
Kansas City Journal: Three Okla-
homa editors have been sentenced to
prison for contempt of court, and Edi-
tor Rosewater. of the Omaha Bee, is
in trouble on the same account. Can't
something be done to elevate our
courts?
Arkansas City Traveler: If you
meau to elevate some of them about
six feet from the ground, Jwe would
say yes.
Tm foreign correspondent liar will
fail to see any quarrel between ex-
GovernorSeay and Congressman Flynn
in the Kingfisher county congressional
convention.
Tiik world will stand still for the
next few days to see what awfal visi-
tation Judge Scott will entail upon it
on account of the interference of a
probate judge with his dignity.
Dkmociiats have been howling about
the "Chinese wall of protection"
around this country; now they would
like to have just that sort of thing
around Washington.
