THIRD WARD
JUDICIAL DISTRICT SPLIT-UP
FACILITATES COURT WORK
The legislature having passed a
law last week creating a new judicial
office for the Creek-Okmulgee dis-
trict, Hon. Mark L. Bozarth, county
judge of Okmulgee county, seems to
be in favor, together with assistant
county attorney Fred Carter, for ap-
pointment over the new district.
There are several active candidates
and the appointment is expected to
be announced shortly. The result of
legislation in creating two new super-
ior courts in this same territory, and
this additional judge, would provide
four judges where only one, Judge E.
E. Hughes, presided before.

NINETY DAYS TO PICK
"BONE-DRY" FLAW
The bone-dry bill, prohibiting the
common carriers from delivering in-
toxicating liquor in the state, was al-
lowed to become a law without the
governor's signature, and has been
delivered to the secretary of state to
be placed with the fdes. The bill does
not carry the emergency clause.
The law does not become effective
until ninety days after the legisla-
ture adjourns. In the meantime it is
possible that petitions will be circu-
lated referring the measure to a vote
of the people. In such an event an
election would not be held on it until
after the primary of 1918, and the
old law which permits shipping in
would govern.
