Judge Tulbert Milken Temorary Fe-
straining Order, iNsued Lum( May,
Permanent No !(t"<i Un('f Made
(From Friday's Daily.)
The case wherein a tfiuporary re-
straining order wait i*nuod by Judge
Tolbert lant May ugainst the pretendul
officers of Swanwin county wan reached
un Che docket yesterday and the matter
wne definitely disposed of by making
the order permanent.
Tiiia ia the cant wherein an uttumpt
wan made laat spring to reorganize
Hwanson county. A oibh.i meeting, it
will be remembered, wan hold at Moun-
tain Park, several hundred people from

thii meeting a full quota of county
officers were chosen and plans were
made for perfecting county government.

to discharge the duties of their respec.
live offices.
No Hooner were these steps taken
than an application for a restraining
urdwr was made by the Kiowa county
official*. Judge Tolbert granttd the
order as requested Final action upon
it was deferred until now, however,
owing to a writ of prohibition suo;l out
in the supreme court by the Swansun
county officers, restraining the lower
court and other Kiowa couuty officials
from interfering with the so called
Swanson county officers in tbe discharge
of their official duties.
The supreme court^did not decide the
question involved until a few weeks
ago, and rLen to the effect that Swan-
•on county had no legal eiistence. And
a.oce this is the first term of tbe Dis-
trict Court held in this county since the
supreme court handed dowu ttie d..cis
ion, the lower court could not pass up-
on the question sooner.
The defendants in the suit who aro
by the decof tbe court thus per-
maneatly enjoined from performing the
duties of officers in wbat is known as
Swanson county, are as follows:
C. R. Cook, Henry Meadows, Hugh
Krancisco, Joe Bcasley, Charley Hun-
ter and W. 0. Myers, respectfully coun-
ty judge, sheriff, register of deeds, coun-

EXCLUSIVE CLOTHING AND SHOE STORE
(From Thursday's Daily.)
I The premnit term of the District
, C'ouit in moving onward with unusuul
celerity. At the paoo set tne dooket
will bn cleared before the end of the
year. And what a few days ago prom-
I ivd to be a long, tedious session may be
a short one.
The oases of Ed Funaton and Jesse
Chirk wore compromised yesterday up
on condition that the two defendant!
reimburse tbe county for all tbe expen.
sos to which it hud been put to
apprehend them. This included all
telephone and telegraph messages, rail
way fares, expenses of officers going to
Texas to gather evidence against tbem
and court costs, Tbe defendants were
represented by T. K. Dan Boone of
Wichita who effected tho compromise.
Owing to the absence of witnesses,
the county attorney was doubtful if he
could convict the accused; hence the
compromise.
The defendants were charged with
perjury. They wore accused of having
testified falsely in behalf of Frank
N'asb, who was convicted of murder
several months ago.
In disposing of these two cases by the
compromise route several days of the
term were saved.
Another Compromise Case.
The esse of the State vs. Bert Cross,
was also disposed of by compromise,
He also agreed to pay all the costs of
his apprehension and detention,
The defendant was charged with
embezzlement. About two jears ago,
when he was but sixteen years of age,
he hired a horse from a liveryman at
Mountain View to make a journey
across the couutry. Before be left,
however, they agreed on the value of
the animal and in event ho should hud
abu>erhe was given the privilege to
sell. When he reached Carnegie he did
succeed in celling the horse. He in
tended to return at once and pay the
owner therefor, but that night he fell
in with a party and all got to drinking
and gambling. Cross lost the money.
When he sobered up he realised bis
predicament and left the country, but
was subsequently arrested, although
his father reimbursed the liveryman for
the horse. Considering the boy's tender
years the liveryman was not inclined to
prosecute the case. Consequently the
county attorney effected a compromise,
as above stated.
Prior to this episode Cross had borne
a good reputation, and since the
prosecution has been pending his con-
duct is said to have been exemplary.
Anderson Pleads Guilty.
James R. Anderson of Mountain View
charged with the embezzlement of
about 11,400 insurance money, entered a
plea of guilty Tuesday afternoon.
Pending further investigation into the
case, sentence was deferred to tbe 12th.
The defendant was an insurance agent
with Mountain View as his place of
business. IJe is said to have failed to
pay over to his company the money he
collected in the way of premiums.
Standifer Case Dismissed.
The case wherein Carroll Standifer
Was charged with forgery was dismissed
Tuesday afternoun. He was accused of
having forged a check on a local bank,
and was subsequently identified as the
guilty person. But later the person
making the identification was in doubt
as to the identity, hence the case was
dismissed.
Will Hinds Case on Trial.
This morning a jury was secured to
try the case of the State vs. Will Hinds.
Thi9 is a case wherein the defendant is
accused of shooting at his wife several
months ago. The trial is making pretty
good progress and will probably be
concluded early tomorrow.

GUTHRIE'S MUNICIPAL BATH HOUSE
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
Two years ago, convinced by the offi
oial analysis and the testimony of many
cures that the artesian Mineral Waters
flowing from wells in the parks of that
city, were the equal of any in the world,
the people of Guthrie voted $100,000 in
bonds to build a Municipal Bath House
to exploit these waters. This struoturee,
the only Municipal Medicinal Batbs in
America, is now finished and ready for
the use of the public. Being construct-
ed wholly of cement and marble, it is
pronounced by all who inspect it to be
the finest and most complete bathhouse
in the west.
Op December lltb, the bath house
will be dedicated and formally opened
with appropriate exercises, being first
christened by breaking a bottle of Min
eral water over the front balcony, There
will be addresses from distinguished
men from within and without the state,
a reception and a banquet; five hundred
guests will be officially entertaieed by
the city and the homes of tbe citizens
Will be thrown open to the visitors who
come to attend the opening and to test
the waters.

The rainfall in the southwestern pa
of the state since the first day of Se

in 1901. And the end is not yet in sigti
At no time can it be said that 1
have had heavy downp. urs. Most
tbe time it has been gentle at d penetr;
ting, unaccompanied by wind. As
result, the ground is thoroughly satur;
ted to a depth of from two to three fee
the depth depending largely upon tt
topography of th> land and ti
porosity of the soil.
The total precipitation since last Fr
day evening at 6 o'clock is 5.31 inche
including what bad fallen up to noc
today.
The rainfall for September, Octobt
and November exceeds that of tt
