"It is only recently that Oklahoma has had a pure food and drug larw, and when the inspectors threw stuff out of the market in. surrounding states, it was promptly shipped into Oklahoma. This ib a practice which we are given power to shut off under the present law, and we are gong to do it as rapidly as possible.

The total rewards offered for the of Bobbitt are supposed to amount to Of this Governor 'Haskell offered $500 on behalf of the state; Swamp Campbell, clerk of the supreme coiu-t and an old friend of Bobbitt, ottered a personal reward of $250; citizens of Ada guaranteed a reward of $500 and Bobbitt is said to have left $1.000 In his will for the arrest of the men should kill him, showing that he expected assassination. There is speculation here as the rewards be since the supposed murderers wer Iv-nched their guilt being leg ally established. The question is ii volved also whether West's and Al len's ca.ptors should share with thei informants, and the same with Mill er and Bnrwell. Relative to the above, the attor nev general has recently ruled tha If a person tor whom a reward offered, is shot on resisting arreji or necessarily shot by person at tempting to take him, his death is equivalent to arrest and the persoi i i the outlaw etui recover ful reward just js if he had arrested his man and delivered him to the sheriff. This held in the case of the egro, R.

H. Johnson, shot by a pursuing citizen near Wilburton aftei the negro, had wantonly killed two unsuspecting fishermen. The rewan was $300 and will be paid on demand.
