that their trip was rewarded by assur-
ances that the matter would be care-
fully considered and lf possible the

complied with.
Contrary to expectation .Mr. Win-
chell wa' not there but as his repre-
sentative Mr. Tyler assured the com-
mittee that their road was favorable
to a union depot if found practicable
and he believed it would be. He also
assured the committee that either Mr.
Wlnchell or some other official of the
Filsco road with authority to act in
the matter would visit Cbickasha with-
in the next eight or ten days for the
purpose of looking over the ground to
Bee Just what is necessary for them
to do in order to reach the site of the
proposed union depot. General Man-
ager Tinsman of the Rock Island was
present and reiterated the promise
made by Mr. Bobbins at the recent mass
meeting in this city to the effect that
the Kock Island stood willing to lend
their aid In giving the city a union
depot. Tho committee was well
pleased with tho result of their trip

What it Means
Many people do not know what a bank's capital
is for or the difference between a bank of
little or no capital and one with large capital.
A Bank's Capital
is the fund that protects the depositors from
loss; therefore the larger it is the greater pro-
tection the depositor has. This bank has a
Capital of
Surplus Fund of
Undivided Profit"
Additional Stockholders' Liability
A tatal of
$200000.00
$60000.00
$20000.00
$200000.00
$480000.00
This means that we must lose $480000.00 be-
fore our depositors could lose a cent. This pro-
tection ia for YOU.

Drake's Stor' ems But
a Fabricate -Several
Testify for 'KiJlion
and Taylor
In the absence of Mayor lidwar.-'s
yesterday. Alderman Cochran as pres-
ident of the council presided at the
open session which was called to give
Killion and Taylor an opportunity to
relute the charges recently made by
J J. Drake. The council chamber
was crowded long before the case at
Issue was reached and It was notice
able that most of those in attendance
as spectators were business men; men
who ate interested In the city's af-
fairs. Berore beginning the case. Acting
.Mayor Cochran stated that the meet-
ing was held at the request of Messrs.
Killion and Taylor; that the council
had never preterred any charges
against these men and that none were
to be presented now but In order that
tho public might be properly and tully
intormed and then draw'its own con-
clusions as to tho truth or falsity of
the Drake charges this opportunity
had been extended the accused men.
Drake who made the charges
against Killion and Taylor was
brought over from the couuty Jail
where he was being held awaiting
sentence for burglary to which he
had plead guilty by Sheriff Loutlwu.
Judge (Jrigsby in the absence of At-
torney Kfddlo who had been engaged
by Killion and Taylor to conduct the
case for them opened the case by ques-
tioning Drake as to any connection
that Killion and Taylor might have
had with him in breaking into slorcs
and in the very first answer Drake
weakened his story by admitting that
all he knew was what Sam Spell and
John Carroll told him. namely :hat
Killion offered to stand guard and did
stand guard according to the b.ter
story of Spell while Spell ami C:nri)ll
broke Into and burglarized the Calvert
Hardware etore. He said Taylor wa
not iu any way mentioned in connec-
tion with this. The only charge that
he made against Taylor was s to
some canned goods which he said
Taylor had at tho dog pound Hnd
which he said Taylor told him l e
stole; but this had the appearance of
a fabrication both in the way It was
related and In the unreasonableness
of it
When Attorney Riddle arrived lie
relieved Judge Crlgsby and continued
the work ol questioning Drake who
stubbornly proceeded as ii milking his
yarn as he went.
To disprove Drake's story John Car-
roll the boy jointly arrested with
Drake and Spell for burghuy was
called and testified that neither Tiiv-
lor nor Killion had anything whatever
to do with anything they Spell Drake
and himself did. Every question put
to tho boy Carroll' was answered ii;
a .manner to convey the . Impression
that he was telling tho tith.
Other witnesses testified as to the
reputation of Killion and Taylor at
least a hnlf dozen and all spoke well
of the men: but It was brought out

What proved to be the most suc-
cessful work in overtaking criminals
that has occurred here in a long while
was done Tuesday afternoon when
Deputy U. S. Marshal Tom Burke of
this city and City Marshal Brigham
Young of Duncan picked three young
men who had broken into and robbed
a store at Duncan off the westbound
Frisco train.
After robbing the store the Square
Deal it was believed that the
thieves had come north accordingly
Marshal Young came here and at ence
notified Burke. They found where i
one pair of pants suiting description j
of some taken from the store had been '
sold in this city; out the party whoj
sold them could not be found down i
town; thev did get however a descrip-
tion of the" man telling the pants. To
watch the outgoing trains Burke and
Young went to the Frisco station and
just as the 1:33 westbound passenger
was pulling out the suspects boarded
it also Burke and Young mounted the
train.
Just as the train was getting under
good headway and when no doubt the
trio of crooks had exchanged congrat-
ulations among themselves as to their
nice get-away the officers put them
under arrest.
The prisoners were carried on to
Amber where they were taken off the
train and hiring a rig the officers were
back in Chickasha with their prisoners
in time to catch tho 4:30 southbound
passenger train for Duncan.
Young had in the meantime phoned
the news of the catch and when they
arrived at the station at Duncan
Burke states that 400 or 500 people
were in waiting and at sight of these
there was fear of mob violence uot
only among the prisoners but the offi-
cers as well.
The men arrested fhad in their vos-
session four grips all identified as
taken from the Duncan store and in
these were found 7 suits ot clothes 2
overcoats 4 pairs of $5 shoes a dozen
pairs of pants 2 white vests 4- suits
$2.50 underwear 2b or 30 neckties
several dozen handkerchiefs and' jew-
elry enough to load down a Christmas
tree.
In default ot bond the three men
were lodged in the jail at Duncan.
So well pleased were the business
men of Duncan with the. work of the
officers that they made up $100 re-
ward to be divided equally between
Burke and Young.
Marshal Burke returned to Chicka-
sha yesterday evening. He stales that
one of the crooks was but 18 years old
while the oldest gave his age as 25.
The hardest part of Christmas shopping for Ladies
is to know what to get the men so that it will suit them
