J H. Bartles, an old resident of
Kansas ^ity, Kan , Is oi^e of the chi>*i
promoters of the Cherryvale & Okla-
homa Southern railroad. The con-
struction on the new road was begun
last Monday.
The first section of the road will be
built from Bartlesville to Osage City,
Ok., a distance .of 90 miles. It Is in-
tended, however, to construct tbe
road 'a distance of 300 miles nortl
western Tex'S. It will connect ai
0'ierryvaie with the Southern Kan-
sas.
Tbe general offices, round houses
and principal shops of tbe company
will be located at O-mge City, Ok.
District Court.
The case of Ace and .lames Cole-
man was on trial in tbe district court.
This is a very interesting case. The
Coleman's sold a relinquishment to a
claim near this city to a man by the
name of Julius White for ti,300. A
man by tbe name of Strauss held a
contest on the claim. When Cole-
man sold the claim some one im-
personated Strauss and wuh Coleman
signed a relinquishment. It turned
out afterwards that Strauss had not
siened his relinquishment and Cole-
man fled from these parts with the
#1,300.
No indictment was returned, how-
ever, against tbe Coleman s for more
than two years and Coleman's de-
fense is that the statute Tmitation
bars action in tbe case, ' liming that
he was during the two years a resi-
dent in the territory.
In tbe habeas corpus proceedings
*>efore Judge Dale last spring, the
judge held that the evidence showed
he dependant, 'Ace Coleman was a
ugitive from justice and that to be
i resident he would have to live in
>pen residence.

They Advocate Anarchy.
March 22, 1896.
Editor Times Journal:
Asonswhois always in favor of
liberty and justice regardless of race,
iolor or party, 1 must say tbe above
neading e xposes the disgulred sentl
uckt of ''We,the citizens assembled,*'
Jtc., of Cass township who tried to
justify the deed committed there
«>me lime ago. An act wbicb was a
iisgrace to the good name of Oklaho-
ma, by the letter and resolutions
which appeared in last wgek's Issue of
the Times-Journal.
All right-thinking people denounce
the deed, because they see in it the
spirit of the uuarchistsof France and
the Mafia of Italy.
The Choctaw City News put itself
in record as the organ of anarchy in
Oklahoma, when it said: "White peo-
p e who will go lo a negro entertain-
ment ougnt tu be shook up a little as
a le-oon," etc.
It seems from the letter and reso-
lutions, of which I speak, that the
deed was the product of a systematic
plot, and in my mind the perpetrators
should, and I believe they will, be
nunted down and given the full ex-
tent of the law. Were tbey negroes,
they would now be in jeopardy.
The good people of Oklahoma will
not allow such acts to pass ua-
no ic id.
Ail townships should pass resolu-
tions upholding the Timjs-Journal
in denouncing not only that act, but
Everything that is disgraceful to the
territory. Respectfully,
C. D. Clem,

and only used for future extension of
its railroad, and will not be Issu'd at

City Asskhnob Riliv does not !>e-
lieve that ihe present assessment is
not going to leave margin enough to
make a $20,000bond issue possible.
Today, in speaking of the move to
put up a city building he said "If
it can be done the move is a good
one. It is a good plan to submit
such matters to the vote of the peo-
ple. But I am satisfied that unless
i he territorial hoard mskes another
36 per cent raise as it did last year,
there will be no margin for the issu
ance of bonds. I am assessing all
property lower this year, because the
hard times have caused a deprecia-
tion in all property. I am satisfied
that the tax will not be more than
half what it was last year."

The Choctaw will run Its Flyer,

March 29. reaching El Reno about
10:20. At El Reno the through Rock
Island passenger train goes through
to Kingfisher at 3:37 lu the morning.
This arrangement tbe best that can
possibly be done, although it makes
an unsatisfactory wait of five hours
in the dead of night at El Rene. It
is possible, however, tbat tbe Rock
