'1 he Rock Island in obtaining its
charter from the government four
years ago to build and operate a line
of railroad tnrough the territory. Sec-
retary Noble of the Interior Depart-
ment, under the Harrison administra-
tion specified in the charter that ti1
certain points in the territory stations
should be established and named, and
that depots and switching facilities
should be maintained during the life
of the charter. These stations were
established, named and approved by
the Secretary of the Interior. One of
these towns is Enid, where the com-
pany has since then, as stipulated in
the cnarter, maintained such station,
under the name given it four years j
j ago and will so continue to maintain j
it under such name if all the courts in j
| the land must be exhausted to vindi-1
| cate the law.
From the most learned attorney in
the west our citizens are advised that
, under no circumstances can we be de-
prived of the name ''Enid." It was
! given us bv the government and is an
established fact in law. For instance:
Suppose the Rock Island should put in
a station at South Enid. The town is
incorporated under the name of Enid.
Tiie Rock Island could not name the
\ new station Enid, because it has one
! town on the road by that name estab-
j lished by the government, and anoth-
er would be in direct violation of the
| provisions of the Inter State Com-
merce law. So, while the illegally in-
corporatted name of the town
"Enid," the new station would

A Sensation.
We are informed that in all proba-
bility a contest was filed to-day on
the west half of the government town-
site at South Enid. It is claimed
that the present location is not the
original townsite and that there is a
probability that no patent can be
issued for the same except by special
act of congress. '^And what will the
people do then." '

held this week whereby the north half
