with having stolen a pistol from a
man living east of the Illinois river,
was arrested Wednesday night by
Constable Isom Brown, who started
to Tahlequah with him. Brown was

cape. But Coursey, after a short
stay in " the sticks" decided to
surrender, which he did yesterday,
appearing at the county jail and
placing himself in the custody of
jailer W. A. Allen. Coursey's hear-
ing is set for before Justice Kedburn

BOB GATENBY'S GOT IT
COCHRAN CASE
The royalties and proceeds from an
allotment owned by a member of the
Cherokee tribe of Indians, who is
shown by the rolls in the department
of the interior to be a minor, are
subject to the jurisdiction of tlie
county court ill the exercise of its
probate jurisdiction, notwithstanding
the fact that by extrinsic evidence ii
may be shown that the member has
in fact attained her majority, accord-
ing to an opinion handed down in
the supreme court Tuesday morning
by Chief Justice Samuel W. Hayes
in the case of Carrie^Coehran, a Cher-
okee, against Houston B. Teehee, her
guardian.
The case was appealed from the
district court of Cherokee county,
where the ( chran woman had been
denied an order requiring an ac-
counting from her guardian of the
royalties and proceeds held by him,
Which are derived from her allot-
ment. The decision of the lower
court is upheld in the opinion of Jud.
ge Hayes.
Evidence, it is said, was produced
Hf the trial showing that I lie woman
was of age on March 23, 1912, but,
according to the rolls in the depart-
ment of the interior at Washington
she will not be of age until Septem-
berlT, 1913, and until after that time
the court held she is not entitled to
the proceeds from her allotment.

CALGARY, May 29. —Representa-
tives of the Crown who have been
conducting the Investigation into the
death of Luther McCarty yesterday
are gathering a mass of evidence
which will be presented when the
cases of Arthur Pelkev and Tommy
Burns are called.
Burns, the promoter of the light,
and Pelkev, whose blow in thefirsi
round, resulted in tlie fatality, will
have to face trial on the charge of
manslaughter, was the principal de-
velopment that followed tile re-ar-
rest of I'elkey Tuesday after the
coroner's jury had failed to make
any charges against him . Mean-
while, William McCarney and Refer-
ee Ed Smith were out on $500 bail
each and ordered to appear as wit-
nesses.
Another development was the fil-
ing by Burns of a suit for criminal
libel against a minister of the city
who is said to have denounced the
promoters of the fight.

a great deal of time and labor on the

COURT HOUSE A
1 JAY BURNS
JAY, May 31.—The big frame
court house at old .lay, the scene of
the recent hostilities in the bitter
courn.< seat fight between old and
new Jay, with practically all of the
records of Delaware county and Hie
Jay postoffice, burned here yester-
day morning. Eire was dicovered
raging in the building at two o'clock
and efforts to carry out any of the
records were futile. The officers
here more than intimate that, the
fire was of incendiary origin.
The county seat between old and
new Jay, has npparentlj reached its
climax wtith the burning of the eouri
house and' records. The coun'y
officials will now have to seek new
quarters, and the old Jay men who
are in office will undoubtedly refuse
to occupy the new building in new
Jay, which two months ago was ten-
dered to them rent free for i court
house. Old Jay retained the court
house and offices several months-ago
by guarding thi building with Win-
chesters, w lien an attempt was made
to move the records.
The two story build'ing In which
(he court house was located was oc-
cupied bv all the Delaware offices.
About two o'clock Friday morning,
residents of Jay discovered that the
building was in flames and too far
gone to even attempt to quench the
flatiK's. Of all the offices in the
building, the register of deeds and
the county treasurer's were the only
ones who had placed their records
in the vault. It is believed that-even
these are ruiined.
PERSISTENT < V\I\E
(From Saturday's Dally Arrow.)
The persistency of Robert Bruce's
spider is exceeded by that of a small
black and white dog that lives a short
distance southwest town. Wit'i-
out fail this dog every morning gives
chase to the motor. For about one
hundred and fifty yards he makes
most strenuous effort to overtake the
car, then his breath becoming short,
gives up the attempt until the next
day. Passengers on the motor car
watch with amusement the daily
chase.

take Cardui.
I used it about one week, before I saw much change.
Now, the severe pain, that had been in my side for years,
has gone, and I don't suffer at all. I am feeling better than
in a long time, and cannot speak too highly of Cardui."
