Dear Editor:—Thinking that the

thing of our whereabouts, and of

4:00 p. m., wife and I boarded the
train at Alva, Oklahoma, for Capron,
where we met our son-in-law, Jos-
eph A. Keck and wife, and in the
morning of the 1st day ot June,
we took passage on a Santa le
train for Chicago, Illinois. Having
to change cars at Newton, we wait-
ed for a through train which left
] Newton about 2:30 p. m., and we
i landed in Chicago about 7:43 next
morning, safe and sound. J. A.
i Keck's brother s wife met us at the
where,” Friday night. They report train and conveyed us by way
Thirty-Six for 25 Cento.

Likewise saw the wagon bridge open

through. One opens from the mid
die of the bridge each way, but the
other opens from the end and stands
