E'XECTORY MAN'S CENSUS SHOWS
1 A LARGE GAIN OVER THE
LAST REPORT
'mi DIHECT03Y SOOM OUT
Will be tie Most Complete yet Isiued-
loformstion is Accurate
The population of Chiekasha as it
1 ii shown by the census takjn by C.
I K. Wallin the directory man is SGG7.
A While the directory will give only
the names of persons over sixteen
.rears of axe Mr. Wallin took a com-jb-'
"Wte census taking the total number
v . f people in every house and he says
i .1.0 will make affidavit that the fig-
tires are correct. II is total is not
l aedupon any kind of estimate but
. itpon an actual enumeration.
t The census was taken during t'ne
months of October and November. By
''he. government census taken a few
tuonths before the population was 7
t N2 but this did not include the ad-
!itions which are included in Mr. Wal-
j Jin's figures. The federal census
h'twed a little over two hundred in
f 'these additions. If the enumeration
l. in both instances was correct Mr.
Tallin's total shows a verv substan-
r
; ttial increase in the few niont.is taut
lapsed between the first and f.econd
4 en'-us.
 Mr. Wa'.iin employed very compe-
tent and skilled men in gathering his
s information and there is no reason to
y' "loiifit that his figures are substan
tially correct. The new directory
.vihieh will be out the latter part of
this week or the first part of next
will be tiie most complete volume of
K kind ever issued in Chiekasha.

DECISIO
AN IMPORTANT RULING IS MADE
IN LIQUOR CASE-DEFENDANT
IS DISCHARGED
That .t is not a violation of the law
to transport liquor from one point in
the state to another when it is an in-
terstate shipment and when it is or-
dered f r lawiul purposes is the opia-
inion rendered by Judge Williams in 1
a case in the county court yesterday.
The judge took the case from the
jury and ordered the defendant to be
discharged.
The testimony showed that C. C.
Prentiss went to Verden and received
a shipment of liquor addressed to
Gordon & Co. upon the order of the
latter the goods being sent by express
from St. Louis. Prentiss carried the
liquor to a private residence where
he broke the original package and put
the bottles in his grip. He then went
to the train and was arrested by De-
puty Gillespie as the train was start-
ing. The uncontroverted testimony
futher showed that one quart of the
liquor was bought for the sick wife
of a neighbor of Prentiss' two for
a physician at Naples three pints for
the. defendant and the rest for neigh-
bors a purse having been made up
among them for the purchase of the
shipment.
