ROCK ISLAND'S TITLE
TO VALUABLE TRACT OF
LAND IS DECLARED VOID
CHURCH NOTES
FIRST CHRISTIAN CWKCH.
Federal Judge Cotteral gave a de-
cision today, affirming Federal Judge
Irwin of the old Oklahoma Terri-
tory court, and holding void a deed
held by the Rock Island railroad
company as successors to the old
Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Co., to
a tract of Indian land in Custer Co.,
on which Is located one of the com-
•pany's watering stations.
This tract was taken from an al-
lotment belonging to Medicine Bear,
a Cheyenne woman, and was desir-
ed by tho company because of an ex-
tensive salt spring located thereon
and it was made the basis of water
supply at that point. Through its
attorney, R. E. Campbell, now fed-
eral Judge of the Eastern Oklahoma
District the Choctaw Co. secured
a deed to the land from Medicine
Hear, and the same was approved by
Col. Stough, then Cheyenne Indian
agent.
Judge Cotteral holds there was no
fraud used in securing the deed,- but
"that It is null and void because the
Indian woman, a ward of the govern-
ment, had no power to Issue it. Med-
icine Bear declares she thought she
was signing a lease and not a deed
Judge Cotteral also enjoins the rail-
road company, but gives it leave to
file In court a showing that it is
complying with tho federal right-of-
way law of 1902, which It is under-
stood, gives the company opportunity
to secure possession through con-
demnation proceedings.
Attorneys stated today that it is
generally understood much of the
rights- of-way of the Rock Island
and several other roads was secured
through deeds from Indians who had
no authority to give title.
The Rock Island appealed from
Judge Irwin'e prior decision, and on
motion of U. S. Attorney Embry, the
case was transferred in 1908 to the
new federal court. When the case
originated, Horace Speed was Unit-
ed States attorney and John Scothorn
and Lewis McKnight, his assistants,
and John R. Abernathy, U. S. Mar-
shal. Irwin was judge and EEd Heg-
ler, deceased, was federal court
clerk at El Reno, where the original
case was filed.
C. B. Stuart was also an attorney
In the case, for the Choctaw Railroad
Co.. and later Blake & Blake of El
Reno became interested, as general
counsel for the Rock Island.

WEST SIDE METHODIST
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 31.—That
the attorney general as ex-offlcio
State Bond Commlsslone ris not re-
quired to examine or certify bond ls-
sueg voted in cities for municipal im-
provements, which ar© to be paid for
only by the property benefitted, was
the holding of the Supreme Court In
the case of the city of Lawton against
Charles West, Attorney General, ap-
pealed from Oklahoma county and af-
firmed. Bonds Tor street Improvement
to be paid by a special assessment
against the property benefitted are
not public securities or bonds, wlthlp
the meaning of the legislative act of
March 24, 1910, under which the pro-
ceedings were instituted.
The attorney general took the po-
sition that a mandamus would not lie
requiring hl6 approval of a $150,000
bond issue voted by Lawton, because
his duties as Bond Commissioner did
not include that of passing upon pav-
ing script, which were not debts of
the municipality, but which were only
| liens against the property benefitted.
This view was accepted by the Okla-
homa County District Court and sus-
tained by the Supreme Court. The
opinion was by Justice Hayes.

Electric
Bitters
Made A New Man Of Him.
"I was suffering from pain in my
stomach, head and back," writes H.
T. Alston, Raleigh, N. C., "and my
liver and kidneys did not work right,
but four bottles of Electric Bitters
made me feel like a new man."

Do you suffer for weeks every
summer with Hay Fever or Rose
Cold? If you do, Just get a fifty
cent bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from
your druggist, and see how quickly
you will get relief. In five minutes
after applied that stuffed-up feeling
in the head will be gone, the pain and
soreness in the back of the throat re-
lieved, and the sneezing and running
at the nose stopped.
Moreover, this remedy does not
simply give you temporary relief, but
heals and strengthens the weakened
Jnflamed membrane lining of the nose
and throat, making it less sensitive
to dust, dampness and certain odors,
which generally bring on the fits of
sneezing and weeping.
Don't suffer any longer, and don't
experiment with strong snuffs, pow-
ders and sprays which only aggra-
vate and trouble, but try this simple,
sensible treatment. If you are not
satisfied after fair trial, your drug-
gist will give back your money.

GEORGE L. HOLTER,
48tfi. Principal.
1. It was moved from Guthrie by fraud and misrepre-
sentation.
2. Oklahoma City promised to build a million dollar
capitol building for tho state, to pay the moving expenses,
and to furnish free rent for all state olllces. She has fail-
ed to keep a single one of these promises.
3. The State is paying the enormous rental of $40,000
per year in Oklahoma City, and must continue to do so
for many years if the capital remains there.
4. Oklahoma City is planning to induce the next leg-
islature to appropriate $1,000,000 out of the pockets of the
taxpayer to start a iapitol building.
5. The people of Guthrie who ask that the question be
submitted have always made good, have never asked for
any other institution, and believing in justice, honesty and
fairness, have never attempted to build up their city at the
expense of other cities of the state.
6. The City of Guthrie offers the $150,000 Convention
Hall and the $150,000 Logan County Court House to the
State rent free as long as they want them.
7. The State is now practically the owner of a fine
Capitol site at Guthrie, the government having reserved
fourteen acres in the heart of the city, for Capitol pur-
poses at the creation of Oklahoma in 1889.
8. The City of Guthrie has erected a $150,000 tempor-
ary capitol upon the site reserved for the state, paved and
parked the streets, and Improved the grounds until it is
worth $500,000 and offers this all free to the state.
9. The retention of the capital at Oklahoma City means
higher taxes; its removal to Guthrie means lower taxes.
10. Guthrie is one of the finest residence cities of the
state; clean, law abiding and healthful, is reached by
eight railways, has every modern convenience, pure water
in abundance, and the finest mineral waters in America.
