JAMES W. DOUTHIT DEAD.

Former Democratic Prosecutor of This Circuit Dies at His Hume In Weatherford, Oklahoma. News As the death of James W. Douthit at Weatherford, Okla , was received here a few days ago, but no pariculars are known. Mr. Douthit was for many years a practicing attorney of this city and went to

Weatherford some seven or eight years ago. He was appointed by Gov. Matthews to fill out the unexpired term of Prosecuting Attorney John Brown of Fowler, we believe, who died in office, and served out said term with credit to himself and his party.,. He was quite an able attorney, but lacked the ability to make a financial success of his chosen profession, and never built up much of a practice.
