FIGHT FOLLOWS A
ROOSEVELT TRIAL
Defendants and Friends Mix Up With
State's WiUit—— -Beth
Sides Pay Fines.
Following the discharge by Justice
of the Peace S. E. Andrus, at Roose-
velt yesterday, of Irwin Russell and
young Wallace, charged with the
larceny of poultry, a free-for-all oc-
curred in the court room between the
defendants and Burner Russell, a
brother of Irwin, on one side, and on
the other, several of the state's wit-
nesses, of whom Mr. Roper, owner of
the alleged stolen chickens, and a Mr.
McBride were two of the most con-
spicuous figures. McBride was pretty
badly bruised and beaten, but none of
the others were painfully hurt.
Bedlam reigned for a short time,
and the Reething court room, into
which as many as fifty persons had
crowded to hear the trial, was filled
with flying "fists and choked with
angry and excited cries of the com-
batants and on-lookers.
No weapons save those provided by
nature were called into action, but
many expected a display of firearms
at any time and would have felt more
secure on the outside of the building
than on the inside, but getting out

In the Shorthorn and Durham di-

The number of swine entered shows
the work of the county agent with the

other nations owe us ten billion dollars.

By The AMoct.md V.i-m.
TULSA, Okla., Sept 7.—What
would you do with $1,000,000 should
you win that amount in a suit for
title to land? Mrs. Rachel Perryman
8b years old, Creek Indian woman and
grandmother, who recently filed auit
for SI,000,000 worth of real estate in
Kirkwood Place, here, says she would
buy a new buggy, purchase a young
horse, and perhaps buy a few good
cows.
"After that," she says, "i don't
know. I don't like automobiles, though,
they are too fast."
Forty years ago, Mrs. Perryman
said, she used to follow the <1 roves
of cattle from the Perryman ranch,
near here, to market at Coffeyville,
Kansas. In those days, her husband,
George Perryman, was still alive, and
Tulsa wasn't even a village, she says.
When the oil rush began, after she
had become used to the cattle ra'sing
business, a demand for vegetables
started, and Mrs. Perryman started
raising them. Her truck garden be-
came famous, and her husband ex-
tended his holdings, she declare*, un-
til they included a vast amount of
land where Tulsa now stands.
The Perryman home, she said, was
built on the site of the present Tulsa
county court house. As much as ten
and twelve dollars adVanee was paid
dally on calls for produce from her
truck garden, Mrs. Perryman said, and
she was known as the richest Indian
woman In this part of the country.
"That was before Indians began
to take an interest ih oil." a!

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7.—Due to
the inroads of modern machinery, the
"shrimp dance," one of the picturesque
bits of routine that for years has
marked the work on the shrimp-drying
platforms along the Louis.ana south
coast, this year goe into the lumber-
of memories, to join othsr quaint
customs of bygone years.
Machinery will hereafter "chuck,"
the sun dried shrimps.
To tourUta who have ventured
down into the wilderness of lowfytag
marshes, where the shrimp platforms
gather in the cargoes of the trawlers,
the "shrimp dance" has ever been a
colorful memory.
Boiled i:i salt water in great cop-
per vats, dried in the sunshine to rub-
bery resiliency, the shrimp have been
swept up into huge circles in the past
years. Then, while guitars or banjo
or accordeon wailed and plunked *
dance strain in a weird minor key, the
platform workers, hands on hips, have
shuffled shufflingly over the circular
piles of shrimp. Beneath their tread
the brittle shells crackled into frag-
