S. Marshal Merriman, of Madill, brought in G. L. Rice Monday who was caught in possession of a grip of booze. He was bound over by Judge Stobaugh to await the action of the grand jury. In default of bond he was committed to the Ardmore jail where he will spend his summer vacation. ASSULT TO KILL R. Hurst, of near this place, had a partial hearing before the commissioner's court here Monday, charged with assault with intent to kill. The plaintiff in the case was A. Hurst, cousin to the defendant. The case was continued to July 1. HE GOT AWAY Arthur Nesbitt, Indian police and acting under "booze smasher" Johnson, arrested a man on the train Monday who had two grips full of the forbidden stuff, but on arriving at Ravia to take the transfer to Tishomingo where the man was to appear before Judge J. J. Stobaugh, he thought that it was more than he could stand; that there was more pleasure in breathing pure air and enjoying the fragrance of sweet scented flowers that there was in being confined to a room in jail during the long summer days, hence he took the first opportunity and got away. The booze of course took the usual route. POSTMASTER GETS RAISE IN SALARY Our postmaster, H. P. Warfield, will profit by a $100.00 per year raise in salary as a result of a readjustment of postmaster's salaries in the Indian Territory. While there were a number of post offices which got an increase in salary only two have their salaries decreased. The Tishomingo post office is increasing in the amount of business, hence the raise in salary was due to this fact. When it gets into its new home, the citizens of Tishomingo will have cause to rejoice over the fact that we have one of the best post offices in this section of the new state.
