"There is not a legal petition on file
in the city elerk'suffice of an applicant
fur liquor license," said Councilman
Norman, when the fight came on at
the city council la t evening over the
granting of a license to George \V.
Gtis. Some time ago Mr. Otis fHed
his application with the city for a li
cense to operate a saloon on lot No. 21
in Block No. 41 The license was de-
nied dy the council The applicant de-
cided to test the mat er and forthwith
opened his saloon and began to retail
liquors. He was arrested and tried
iu the police court, where he was fined
$100and costs. An appeal was taken
to Judge Gil ette who sustained tli«
judgment of the lower court. Tne fine
has not been paid.
Councilman Iiiling said. "I do not
think the city should issue a license to
a man who openly violates an ordi-
nance ot the city and is found guilty.
Mr- Otis is under a 8100 fine for viola-
tion of the law." Henry Boyle, of the
Fourth ward, said that Mr, Otis had
only tested the Ian to ascertain his
rights. Councilman Riling said Mr.
tis had made tha remark: "You can
go to h- 1, I will have my license. He
defied the law from the start and iB
not entitled to have a license."
Mayor Jones said, "By your actions
tonight you have granted a license to
Mr. Otis, but he has not a proper pe-
tition. I hold that a majority win and
we have an ordinance that has been
tested in the court which provides
that two thirds of the lot owners
sign a petition and I do not want to
force a saloon upon those people. I
hoid that it is illegal."
The vote on granting the"license
stood five for the granting of it and
four against tne license.

themselves.

Plead Guilty.
Have ■ r, who is in the county
jail on an uidictu.ent charging him
with grdnd larceny, changed his plea
of "not guilty" to that of "guilty" this
morning. Judge Gillette sentenced
him to two years in the Kansas peni-
tentiary. F. M. Stanford, colored,

and the yield is fair. Corn and other
farm products are above the average,
and in all they ha.i cause to meet and
rejoice that the future holds in store
for them greater possibilities and more
prosperous times.
If the Farmers Union stears clear of
politics, and keeps an eye Bingle to ti e
aim of the organization, its influence
for good can not be over estimated.
On the other hand, if politics creeps in,
t'>e union will finally pass away, as did
the Farmers Alliance, and the farmers
will loose confidence in themselves,
believing they cannot maintain an
effective organization. Now the
socialists espe6ia'ly are doing their ut-
most to use the farmers union as an
organization of their own, and this was
in evidence at the picnic Saturday, and
at Comanche a week ago.
Marlow and her citizens were there.
David Willis, one of her prominent
citizens said the entire town was out
Mr. Willis has faith in his town and
country and soil. The large crowd of
well dreo=ed, well behaved people was
an evidence that our civilization in
Comanche county and the Chickasaw
country :s exceptionally good.
J. D. Boetnr:r,, president, c* a lo?al
union, and J. D. Gentry were the pro-
moted of this affair, a"-1 the peonlo

An ordinance was read for the first
time prescribing a new fire limit. It
was referred to the ordinance commit-

A license waB issued to W. H. Keith
to run a saloon at 504 D avenue.
The bond of J. 0. Severns was pre-
sented and referred to the auditing
committee. The reports of the fire
chief and city treasurer were referred
to the same committee.

sidewalks are complaining that they
the land by the school land office will
result in a regulation that may work a
hardship upon some homesteaders. It
is further stated that the person who is
now located upon the land must prove
up on the land or it Will be given to
the school land fund and that no per-
son can purchase a relinquishment
without loosing out. It is further
understood from this report that no
more homestead tiling can be made.
Major McKnight said, "The law pro-
vides that the school land board make
the selections of all vacant land in the
territory, but in case that they over

threshing machine boiler yesterday
morning while at work on the R. P.
Clift's farm near "Hastings.
The boiler was dry when Crumpton

for the fire wagon. Tho council was
under the impression that when the
city hall bonas were sol I that the fire
wagon and hose were paid for. It
seems that only $400 of the $1642 the
contract price h< s been paid to the
company. Ttie company holds a con-
tract providing that the city shall pay
for the wagon at $100 a month, but not
one of these payments has been made.
A short time ago the company
made demands on the city for the bal-

land his papers would receive the same
consideration as in the past."
This news item states that only such
contests wherein application has been
filed in Washington will be given a
hearing with privilege to file thereon,
"All contest cases are filed and tried in
the local land office," said Major Mc-
Knight, "And only when appealed they
go to Washington, There is no such a
thing as filing a contest in the Wash
ington general land office. If
the school land hoard expect9 to get.

Tiled they must be 011 hand at the time
to file on the land in the name of the
territory."
In the Lawton land district there are
41,848 acres of land which has been
filed upon, but upon which final proof
has not been made. This cut into
quarter sections would make 3,387
claims, which is almost half the number
of claims that were in the original
Lawton land district at the opening,
but recently the Mangum land districi
has been added to this district and the
number of cl.,ms not proved up ma
terially increased.
