government U being organized by the
rebels today at Victoria capital of the
state of Tamaulipas with Hen. Enis
Caballcro as military governor.
The next move of the rebels follow
ing Victoria's capture it is believed
will be the Isolation of Tampico. it
seems that nothing can prevent an at-
tack on Tampico which is the only
point in Tamaulipas not controlled by
the constitutionalists.
A reMrt from Hen. Pablo (Umzalca
to Matamoras onsttimionalists states
that he lost four officers and forty men
while the federal dead is estimated at
three hundred.
The constitutionalists captured four
cannon a number of rifles much am-
munition and three hundred horses.
After driving tho federals from Vic-
toria the rebels followed them to Tula
und a battle ensued resulting in the
utter rout ol the teileral torces wnicn

Young fcurse Snatchers are
Held Up by Bold Bad Boy
To acquire sudden wealth make cer-
tain nec essary purchases emigrate to
Chickasha to visit friends only to bo
attacked relieved of the remainder of
an ill-gotten fortune locsx-d in a box
tar and later turned over to the judge
of the Juvenile court were the varied
experiences of three Oklahoma Ciiy
boys whose escapades ended tempo-
rarily this morning.
The youthful soldiers of forttina
lunded In Chickasha' yesterday after-
noon. Their names are Yeartu Brew-
er and Kuqua and their ages range
from nine to twelve years. Their ad-
ventures started soon alter they land-
ed in Chickasha when they were ac-
costed by Dan Kelly like a wise
general locked two of them in a Frisco
box car and proceeded to relieve tin'
other one of what money be had left
leaving hiim in quite a phy.ac.il de-
moralized slate. Straightway Kelicy
hied htmseli lo town where be niadi
merry on his gains only to be arrest-
id this morning and locked in the
county pail.
While Kelley has not stated h'i in-
tentions It is expected that he will
plead guilty and it is quite probable
that he will get a year at the llranite
penitentiary. He is 10 years of agu
a. id only about last Christmas he was
released on parole from the stale re-
form school at Pauls Valley.
When he attacked the three youth-
ful wanderers Kelley produced no
weapon of any kind hut simply over
poered them and evidently wishing
to handle them Mtig'y hoisted two of
them into a box car and linked the
door. The other he could not corral.
but. by superior physical powers ex-
tracted the money from his pockets
and left him. The lad whose cash bal-
ance had thus been depleted unlocked
the car and released his companions.
They at once put in a complaint to tin-
officers and Keiley was arrested while
the other lads were turned over to N.
M. Williams judge of the juvenile
court.
The boys were closely questioned
and at lirst told a straight story ai-
parently of how they came to be here.
The Yearta boy formerly lived here
and stilted that he was here on a visit
and that the other lads came wi ll him.
He said their mothers knew where
they were and that they intended to
return to Oklahoma City shortly. When
it was learned that the amount taken
from them was something over ?7 the
suspicions of officers became aroused.
as the amount was considered quite a
large sum to be carried around by a
nine year-old boy. When asked where
they got the money to make the trip
they stated that they had seen a boy
hide a pocketbook in Oklahoma City
near a church and that later they had
gone there exhumed the purse and
confiscated the contents. According
to their first story however the purse
only contained a powder rag and some
powder but as the investigation grew
Warmer they admiiteJ that in addi-
tion to the feminine requisites the
purse contained $2f. They then pro-
I reeded to a clothing store w here new-

suits were ;;'urciiut:ed for two of the
members c' the trio and a pair of
shoos for the other. Their tickets to
Chickasha was then purchased leav-
ing them a balance of aloresaid fi".
Slill using the dragnet of Investiga-
tion each of the boys was questioned
separately as to the minute details of
the discovery of the purse. One ol
Ihem said the boy hid it about two
feet from the church iiithe afternoon.
Another said it was secreted some ten
feet front the church in the morning
while the third wi quite positive that
they saw the boy hiding the purse one
night.
These separate und distinct opinions
furthoi urojscd the interest of the
judge who plied questions from every
conceivable quarter and eventually two
of the three stated that they had
snatched the purse from a v.oiiu on
Hudson street in Oklahoma City and
that the story about the IS-year-old boy
hiding it near a church was purely n
matter of fiction. They adhered strict-
ly to the remainder of the story re-
garding the amount contained in the
purse and the purchase of the suits
and sheer. The fact that they were
wearing txce -Jjiply gyod clothes bears
that part of the story through.
Judge N. M. Williams is in commun-
ication willi Oklahoma City and no
action will be taken until he has heard
Horn ollicers there. Meanwhile the
youngsters will be held.

jbserved smoke coming from the
iiouse there being nobody at home and
n entering they found fire smolder-
ing in the wall and floor back of the
kitchen range. It had already made
onsiderable headway and the house
was filled with smoke making it im-
possible to remain in it more than a
t few minutes.
Efforts were at once made to cheek

The department arrived promptly and
piickly put out the blaze.
A hole about three by six feet was
burned in the floor back of the stove

RAILROAD
TRAFFIC IS
GROWING
Freight Movement Shows Decided
Increase Cat lie Shipments are
Heavy Outlook for Large
Business in Future
With summer gone and winter ring-
ing the doorbell the traffic on all
railroads leading into Chickasha is ou
the increase each month showing bet-
:er receipts than the one preceding
and if the general run of business coir-
rinues to improve in the same propor-
tion during the next few months soma
former records will bo equalled if not
surpassed.
During the month of July according
lo Information gathered from the pas-
senger stations the passenger traffic
dropped off about one third of the nor-
mal business Htid during the remain-
der of that month and August tho
passenger business continued in the
lame state of depression. With the
advent of September a slight Increase
was noticed in the passenger receipt
which incline continued during Octo-
ber and thus far in November but as
yet the one-third lost has not been
regained.
On one road reports come that Oc
tober was the best month for freight
business that has been experienced iu
years while all show a bigger volume
of business month by month. This
fact is brought about by the general
increase in business throughout the
country during the fall months but
one of the most important items iu
the freight traffic at this time of year
has been brought about hy the estab-
lishment of the Chickasha feed pens
and extensive cattle industry here.
The operation of the feed pens means
i vast amount of business to the rail-
roads. The cuttle are shipped here
principally from points iii Texas and
New Mexico they are unloaded hero
fed for several months and re-shipped
to the markets at Kansas City Okla-
homa City or Fort Worth. In addi-
tion to this vast quantities of feed
are shipped in. Cotton seed hulls and
meal are continually being received in
car load lots from Oklahoma and
Texas.
Everything points to a much bigger
traffic (luring the next few month.3.
With the Thanksgiving and Christmas
holidays only a matter of weeks ahead
the passenger haul w ill without doubt
bemore than doubled during the next
six weeks and with the freight busi-
ness already showing a big increase
the general railroad traffic bids fair
to display real class.

DECISION IS
SOON DUE IN
SCOTT CASE
Fate of Norton's Slayers Will Be
in Hands of Jurors Tonight
Day Devoted to Argu-
ments ANXIOUS CROWD IS
AWAITING VERDICT
Attorneys Overlooking No Point in
Favor of Their Contentions
Case Hotly Contested from
Start to Finish
Special to the Daily Express.
Lawlon Nov. P). It la expected
that arguments iu tho Scott case will
be finished by 6 o'clock this afternoon
and the fate of Norton's slayers will
be In tho hands of the jury tonight.
Following a trial every step in which
has been hotly contested from tho
start tho verdict is eagerly awaited
by the Im-r.cnse crowd that has filled
the court room every day.
Interest for today Is centered in the
battle of argument which will bo wag-
ed in tho district court room as a cli-
max In tho Scott case which has been
noted for the Btruggle for every legal
uuiantage by the attorneys. Six at-
tomej . are Individually endeavoring
to assist the twelve men in the Jury
box in arriving at a conclusion as to
the guilt or innocence of T. J. Scott
and Anna Scott of tho- murder of
lleorge Norton on the 18th day of
last August. Not a speaker will face
the Jury today but what has fortified
J himself for the occasion and but what
will use every resource at his com.
maud. On the side of the state is
County Attorney T. B. Orr John A.
Fain and W. C. Henderson. For the
defense is J. E. Michalson John K.
Thomas and Col. E. L. tlregory. These
six attorneys will address the Jury and
it is needless to state that strong ap-
peals will be made.
Instructions First.
Evidence In the case was all In Tues-
day noon but Judge J. T. Johnson de-
sired to devote the' afternoon and
evening to preparing his Instructions
and adjourned court until 8: no this
morning. It is expected thut the read-
ing of the instructions would require
at least one half hour and the argu-
ments were immediately to follow.
The legal battle waged hot as ever
during the introduction of evidence of
the state in rebuttal Tuesday morning
with little advantage gained cither
way. The state placed witnesses on
the stand who testified to having
heard Mrs. Scott make threats against
the lifo of Norton but there were none
to testify that Scott had ever made
threats and it was Scott who fired
the fatal shot. Possibly half of the
time was consumed in arguments of
attorneys regarding the admittance of
certain evidence. Both T. B. Orr and
W. C. Henderson attorneys for the
state were on the stand again and
both received a hard grilling at the
hands of John F. Thomas. Whichever
way the tide may turn it is believed
there Is but little ground for fault
finding with the attorneys for all have
expended their best efforts in the in-
terests of those they represent.
