"Coffon Trust" Complaint
Charges
J. H. Crawford this week in-
stalled a steam table in his con-
fectionery and is now serving
hot meals at all hours to his
customers. He serves roast beef
and brown gravy, hot chilli and
.eood coffee and everything is al-
ways hot and ready.
A suit instigated by Governor
R. L. Williams to disolve what
is termed a "cotton trust" was
filed with the state corporation
commission Monday, by J. M.
Crook, assistant attorney gener-
al.
More than 1,000 corporations
and individuals engaged in gin-
ning, storing and trading in cot-
ton and more than fifty com-
panies manufacturing or hand
ling cotton seed and its products
are named as defendants.
The corporation commission
is asked to hold a hearing of the
charges set forth, and issue an
order with proper penalties to
disolve the alleged combine, to
prohibit future discrimination in
prices and to compel the estab-
lishment of store rooms for the
cotton and cotton seed.
NO. 39
Coon Hunters Rejoice
Wednesday witnessed the
wearing of broad smiles by the
followers of the trail hounds
when it was announced that F.
J. Peckham, detective and secret
service man, had phoned the
Doctor that he had retrieved
the two trail hounds that had
been missing from the Doctor's
dog pens since Nov. 3. Mr.
Peckham had a "hunch" that he
would find the dogs southwest
of Kingfisher so made a drive
over that way and succeeded in
locating them. The dogs were
a valuable pair of coon hounds,
Dr. Pollock having had them
shipped in from Tennessee at
considerable expense. They are !
both whirlwinds after the ringed
tail denizens of the timbered j
creeks and have afforded a great j
deal of sport to local Nimrods
who enjoy a coon chase and the ;
fighting finish. Great* was the !
rejoicing on the return of the J
two dogs and the event will be
celebrated by taking a night off!
and giving the cunning coons a'
little exercise.
The Citizens of this town and
vicinity are certainly proud of
the efficient service the Rock
Island railroad has given us for
the past two weeks. Not a
train has been on time for so
long that the exact date has
been forgotton. They come
crawling in anywhere from two
to six or eight hours late and
have been known to stand at
the local depot for an hour or
more without any apparent
cause. Our daily papers are
over eighteen hours off the press
before we get them. It is a bum
service, if you could call it ser-
vice, at the best, but when they
perform as they have lately the
word "service" does not appear
in the Rock Island vocabulary.
Mrs. Norris is having an ad-
dition built to her residence on
east Broadway. S. P. Farmer
is doing the work.
Frank and Joe Foreman arriv-
; ed home last Saturday for a few
| days visit with friends and rel-
I atives. They are working now
j for Uucle Sam in the capacity
of sailors and have been station -
ed on the coast somewhere in
California. The boys look like
they have been well fed and are
anxious to see active service.
Up to the present time they
have been on board a training '
ship but expect to get an ap-
pointment to'active service at
once.
