More Troops.
Last night two more companies of
U. S. regulars arrived in the city to
assist in putting down the mob ele-
ment that has taken possession of the
government towns of South Enid and
Round Pond. One company cotnes
from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and
the other from Fort Sill. It is not
unlikely that the two towns will be
| put under martial law today. The in-
! eendiary threats against the Rock Is-
I land to be executed in South Enid and
i Round Pond next Saturday is another
i reason for the coming of more regu-
i lara.
still They Come.
Yesterday Billy . Dawson remove J
'.'.is family to North linid from South
; Enid and will at onoe begin the erec-
! tion of a fine residence. We are glad
to see Mr. and Mrs. Dawson a^ain
residents of our little city.
Attorney Ed Coy is aaotlier of the
many who have been black listed in
South Enid and compelled to leave for
fear of injury to himself and family,
and yesterday he removed his family
i to North Enid. Mr. Coy is reputed a-*
being a good lawyer, a good citizen
. and the Tribune, in the name of the
! citizens of North Enid, extends to
him and his family a cordial welcome
j to the best little city in Oklahoma
! and peopled by the best people on
| earth.
Return It.
j Will the party who took a double-
barrelled Winchester shot-gun from
the bridge near the ice plant please
return the same to the section house?

The continued destruction of prop-
erty by a South Enid mob will bank-
rupt O county and make taxes so high
| that a forty foot pole cannot reach
I them. Farmers, this matter interests
i you, and some kind of measure should
i be adopter", to put a stop to it.
The above shows the horrible death
trap set by South Enid to wreck the
north bound Rock Island passenger
train last Friday morning. The diag-
onal lines across the uprights show
how they were sawed through and the
weight of ;> train would push the sev-
ered ends past each other, and making
tiie bridge go down with an outward
swing making the wreck that much
more horrible. Was there ever a more
dastardly attempt at wholosale mur-
der?
Not Truthful.
Last night's Kansas City Star says
Acting Governor Lowe telegraphed
the following message to the Mayor
at Round Pond:
| I have requested the Rock Island
| railroad company and its attorneys
and president to obey your ordinances
through our request. Do everything
in your power to maintain peace and
good order. I think an application
for a, mandamus to compel the com-
pany to stop in accordance with your
ordinance would be granted.
The above is a mistake, whether
wilful or not, we are unable to state.
It was sent from this city by a sup-
posed "special" man of the Star,
named Nourse. Acting Governor
Lowe sent the following message to
Mayor Frank of Round Pond: "Your
ordinance is void, and any
obstruct the passage of

Great Rock Island Route.
TO THE EflJT.
Best Dining Car Scrvice in the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in ariopiti? any
advantage calculated to improve speed and
ffive that luxury, safety and comfort that pop-
ular patronage demands. Its equipment is
thoroughly complete with vestibuled trains,
magnificent dining- cars, sleepers and chair
coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently
improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management and po-
lite, honest service from employes are impor-
tant items. They are a double duty—to the
company and to travelers—and it is sometimes
a task difficult of accomplishment. Passen-
gers on this line will find little cause for com-
plaint on that pfround.

The Groat Rock Island Route runs all regular
trains t<> Kmrlewood suburban station, close to
the World's Fair Grounds, and you can save
time and trouble by fretting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.

The northbound passenger train
arrived in this city on time this morn-
ing', notwithstanding a large bridge
was burned out a mile north of Wau-
komis Tuesday night.
Our Waukomis correspondent sent
us a part of a letter this week. That
is, he forgot to put the first page of
his letter in the envelope when he
addressed it.
Dead Onto Him.
Two north town people were egged
out of town last Thursday by some of
of our indignant citizens, who sup-
posed the men were here to create dis-
content among our people. This is
carrying the matter a little too far,
our fight is purely with the railroad
and not with the Tankers, unless tliev
get obstreperous.—South Enid Eagle.
Will the editor of the Eagle deny
that he was a party to that disgrace-
ful affair? Step easy, boy; step easy.
The friends of Percy Glaze have
been trying to patch up the difference
between that fellow and deputy U S.
Marshal Madson. But Madson in-
tends to go to the bottom and no
doubt something sensational will
come out of it. The fact that Mr.
Madson has been exonerated by his
chief will probably leave Glaze in an
embarrassing position.
Look out for McConnell's new ad.
in tomorrow's paper. He has just
opened up a stock of general merchan-
dise in the Callahan block and is
ready for business. Our readers will
find Mr. McConnell a gentleman to
deal with, and he has a good stock.
Sheriff Johnson undertook to ex-
plain yesterday why he did not re-
strain the hoodlums who mobbed two
o* North Enid's people in South Enid
last Friday, but his story was pretty
ffav.zy. .
South Enid is becoming too hot for
Bfn Mott, and he is going to move his
store to Texas. Whew!
