Sued for $15,000 Libel.
L. A. Caldwell has brought suit in
the district court against S. Lattimer
for $ 15,000 libel. The petition relates;
"That on or about the month of May
or tlrst of June 1902 the defendant in
the presence and hearing of divers,
good and respectable persons in the
town of Edmond spoke of and concern-
ing this plaintiff these false and defama-
tory words to wit; 'he (meaning the
plaintiff) is guilty of ruining his sister.
On this count $5000 is asked, and
there are two more sections in the
petition asking for $5000 each for
woras to the same effect with the ad-
dition in the last paragraph that it was
said "That Caldwell was dishonest and
would not pay his debts. 1 he suit
has causea considerable surprise

People In a school district near Ed-
mond are expressing no little indigna-
tion about the actions of a preacher who
said he ought to ^ve $4.00 but finally
agreed to presch for $3.00 each Sun-
day afternoon. The date for his fir^t
appointment came and when ,the
preacher drove up to the school house
a dozen people, waiting at a near by
house, came towards the school house.
The preacher is said to have remarked
that hi. would not preach to such a small
crowd and got Into his buggy and drove
away. In a few moments people ar-
rived from all directions and the school
house was tilled. But the preacher
had gone and the people we e mad.
B. Z. Redmon tells a rat story and
that it is a big one was evidenced by
Mr. Redmon's opening remar; that no
one would believe the otory but that he
coutd prove it just the same. He says
that be caught ten rats In one day in
four throws of a steel trap. The fir4
snap of the trap caught three, two on
their heads and one around the body.
The next snap of the trap caught
three more, two by the hipe and one
about the body. The next two snaps
of the trap caught two rats each time.
So the score stood six rats in two snaps
of the trap; and four rats in two more
throws of the trap. The trap was aet
under the floor of the house and baited
Hith wet corn meal. Next! No more
than one column of space will be given
to the fellows who can beat Mr. Red-
mon's rat story. The man telling the
biggest story snd proving it (Mr. Red-
•mon proves all of his experiences) will
have to be furnished a banquet to the
St. Ananias Club.
