the same charge was also forfeited
and an alias warrant issued for bis
arrest.
Trial of Bogie Sanders upon an
indictment charging bim with as-
sault to kill was continued.
John Nelms pleaded guilty to a
charge of selling liquor but as
there were 'many mitigating cir-
cumstances and he has a widowed
mother to support Judge Gill sus-
pended sentence after a severe lec-
ture and the prisoner was permit-
ted to go back to the farm. '
Charles Whittaker entered a
plea of not guilty of the charge of
selling liquor and a nolle prosequi
was entered in the case of Frank
Golden charged with robbery. The
indictment against George Sub.
bard charged with disturbing the
peace was quashed.
The court then proceeded with
the trial of J. E. Potter and J. G.
Hill two ranchers who were in-
dieted upon a charge of. having
. stolen some hogs from Mr. Pol-
lock. The swine were found in
the pens of the prisoners as the
evidence showed. Hill made a
satisfactory explanation of how he
came in possession of the animate
and the prosecuting attorney
asked for a dismissal of the charge
againet him which request Judge
Gill granted.. Assistant Prose-
' cutor Huckleberry conducted the
probecution of Potter and Attorney
Kornegay the defense. The jury
retired at 5 o'clock and this
morning returned a verdict of guil-
ty. The defendant in the action for

erty and was ordered to pay the
costs and council fees.

strain him from the use of a stair-

Sherman Bryant Being Ably Defend-
ed in the District Court.
The trial of .Sherman Lryunt is now
occupying the attention of Judge 0111
and a Jury the In the dlstrletcourt and
a verdict will probably not be reached
until tomorrow.
Bryant Is a negro and Is charged
with others of having maltreated
kidnapped and escorted another negro
March Redfield. Into Kansas finally
leaving him with the injunction
never to return. The facts of the
case are familiar to- most readers be-
ing known at the "Rock Creek kid-
napping case." . .
Itedtteld claims to have recognized
the voices of several of the party and
to have heard the name "Sherman"
frequently used. Attorneys W. M.
Mellette and W. E. Linton are con-
ducting a vigorous defense while
Prosecuting Attorney Soper is making
an able fight to secure a conviction.
New songs not catchy? New play
too droll? New opera too long? Why
what on earth ails you? Is It indiges-
tion? Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. It keeps one straight
the year around. . I buy it at Peoples

A HIGH STANDARD
Of Legal Knowledge is Necessary For
Admission to the Bar.
. Time applications were made to
the district court yesterday for ad-
mission to practice law before the
courts of the territory. They were
referred to the bar committee and
Judge Gill who submitted the ap-
plicants to a rigid examination last
night. Two were denied and ths
committee reported favorably upon
the request of J. J. Jones who was
sworn in this afternoon. (
In considering the names Judge
Gill said that as far as be is con-
cerned gentlemen to practice in
this territory must be possessed of
as great legal knowledge as is re-
quired to practice before any trib-
unal in the country. The bar of
the territory will be held up to the
very highest standard and it made
no difference to him if the appli-
cant had before practiced in other
states he could not hope to come
here and be admitted without
qualifications of a high character.
"A lawyer" he added "cannot
hope to successfully practice law
without studying and reading. He
at any rate should have a knowl-
edge of the books or where be can
get tbem from the pages of which
he can learn what be so much
lacks."'

AT 'DE THEATRE.
Audience Unkind Enough to Laugh
Their Disapproval.
A good 6tory "Her Bitter
Atonement" was very poorly told
and illustrated at the cpera house
last night by a "repetoire" com-
pany and the only seeming satis-
faction the audience or certain of
them received for their admission
money was to "jolly" and make
fun of the players.
This was cruel and a ViniU aud-
ience should be above "kidding"
actor folks wbo were evidently
trying to do the beet they could.
It was certainly unkind when
laughter greeted the parts of the
story that were meant to be pa-
thetic. The eadience were twice
rebuked by the gent'etnan who as-
fuv.el the role of Hirstn Heath
the father who reslly has talent
and displayed it. His work how-
ever being good only made the
others appear more mediocre be-
cause of the contrast. . '
The rebukes were occasioned
first by the laughter and second by
a general stampede of the audience
to escape further infliction before
the play was ended. -.
It is seldom that the orchestra
in this instance comprised solely
of a pianist is the most meritori-
ous amusement giver at a.. theatri-
cal entertainment. Yet the young
lady who presided at the "instru-
ment is a true artist. "A lady; re-
marked to the writer' today "Why
just think she even gave us splen
did music from an asthmatic and
wheezy piano clear out of tune."
One of the most graceful of the
actions on the stage during the
the evening was Doc Bridgeman's
lighting of the kerosene footlights.
Cherokees Defeat the Bill.
Tahlequah I. T. Dec. 4. The

sion. Council adjourns Saturday

treaty will be made by the Cherokees.
