5YSTFF5 TO DISSflLVP
Rock Island and Frisco Soon to Bt
Separate
Abandoned Depots
Of Rock Island 10 Again be Used—
Change Will b: Affected About
December IsHCompetition
Conies Again.
Lawtan Nov. 28:—It is reported on
good authority today that the Hock
Island and Frisco systems are about
to dissolve partnership. The fact is
the officials here have received a
notice that as soon as arrangements
can be completed the Rock Island
will.again take possession of its
abandoned depot in this city, and it
is believed that these arrangements
will be completed by December 1st.
Prominent Railroad officials hare
intimated that a change was about
to be made all along the line; that
the two entire systems would again
become separate and competitive
systems. No cause has been assigned
for the dissolution, but it is believed
that the Rock Island people have
not lived up to their contractus was
agreed upon consolidation, and also
that the business of this system has
fallen very low in comparison with
that of the Frisco.
A few months ago the consolidation
of the stations of the two systsms
were made at all points over south
west Oklahoma where both railroads
entered, the Rock Island stations
being abandonedand tbe Frisco sta-
tions being made union. Th com-
panies went to a good deal of expense
in bringing about this consolidation
and it appeared that it would be
permanent
Real Estate Moving
Something Doing.
The Late Br a Feild Quarter About t<
be Sold to kansas City Parties.
The quarter section of land adjoin-
ing the city on the south which was
deeded to O. J. Fleming by Dr. A. K.
FeilU, for the benefit of the city
through the Commercial Club,
which was afterward deeded to Ed,
L. Pecham in consideration of $10,000
subscribed by 25 members of said
Commercial Club a bonus to the
building f the D. E. & G. road from
this city toGuthrie, is about to be
sold to Messrs. Baker & Temp'.e, a
real estate Arm of Kansas City, in
fact the deal is about closed. Con-
sideration $12,000. It will be remem-
bered that the city purchased 00
acres of this quarter of land for an
outlet for the city sewer system,
hence, this is only 100 acres lor this
deal.
No one seems to know the intention
orjpurposesof the buyers of this tract.
It is reported that it means the loca-
tion of a large packing house in Enid,
while others seem to think they know
that the lauu will be platted and
sold out as town lots, but in fact the
gentlemen did not tell anyone as to
the dispositon of their purchase.
However, it is quite evident that
something is doing: that strangers
readily recognize the importance of
Enid as a live town. If it means a
packinghouse it will move Enid close
up to 25.000 population. It is quite
evident that a packing house will
be established here sooner or later.

All the hotels of the city are
crowded, the traveling men being
especially thick. But there are lots
of tourists from the north and east
looking for land. The real estate
transfers are growing in length and
the consideration is lengthening,
also.

Here's a Real F«o«y Story,
Was it worth while':'
This question comes up after read-
ing an account of the accident that
happened to a St. Paul young woman
the other night. She was listening
to a "funny story" told by a guest at
her home. The tale proved so ludi-
crous that the young woman was
forced to laugh immoderately. Sud-
denly she ceased laughing and sat
with her mouth wide open and a
pained expression on her face. She
c6uld not close her mouth until a
New Cold Storage.
The J. P. Baden Produce Co. bas
purchased a balf block of ground on
the Frisco tracks next east of their
warehouses on Ninth street, corner of
Maple, and will build a cold storage
plant, probably beginning work soon
after January first.
The manager of the plant, George
Uoos, is only authority for the pur-
chase of the land by the company,
but from other sources it is learned
that an immense plant will be built
by the Baden company.
NO JUtlSMCT ON.
Washington, Nov. 29. In an opin-
ion by Chief Justice Fuller the su.
preme court of the United States to-
day dismissed the writ of error in the
case of John T. New of Washita
county, Oklahoma, who is under sen-
tence of life imprisonment for mur-
der. The decision was based on the
fact that there Is no statute giving
appellate jurisdiction to this court
over judgments of Oklahoma Supreme
court in capital cases.
SUSPECTED TRICKERY.
Doolin Wrote His Wife Concerning
HisFrieads.
Near the Twin Mounds in Payne
county, about sixteen miles directly
east of Stillwater, there is a cave in
a ravine surrounded by a heavy
growth of underbrush and tall timber.
For years and years this cave was
the sacred hiding place and only com-
fort that out laws had. About ten
years ago an Investigation wa? made
by a \ arty of curiosity seekers and
several valuaole discoveries were
made.
A tustyoldtin pepper box, lying
in one corner of the cave with a
dozen or two pistols and Winchester
cartridges, was opened one day and
in it were some papers with writing
on them, As the party began to
read the writing their eyes stuck
out in snrprise. On a letter written
by a woman were these words indited
in a man's handwriting :" If I never
see you again kiss our little boy for
me and tell him gosdbye. Never
tell him who his father was, nor what
a bad man he was. If I am killed you
may know those who have been my
friends are the guilty ones. I have
been told tnat I am being trapped.
Tbe boys who are here with me say
that our best friends are playing u?
a dirty trick. Goodbye, Edith, good-
bye .Bill Doolin."
In less than a year from tha t date
Doolin was shot by the very fellows
who bad beeil his beat friends pre-
sumably. It is said that Doolin told
bis friends and followers many times
that the only man who was a friend
was he who would not turn an enemy,
and he also stated upon numerous
occasions that a woman was a dearer
friend than a man any day.

spent on that impecunious young fel-

THE REASON WHY.
C. Porter Johnson Makes Post-Election
Talk on Politics.
C. Porter Johnson has been to
Guthrie. While there he was asked
by a reporter for the State Capital
why Matthews was defeated. He
said;
"1 do not know about the reasons
but it seems to me th^t the demo-
crats of Oklahoma can trace some of
tbe causes for defeat with reason-
able accuracy. In the first place if
I had been writing the platform I
would have started out by saying;
We endorse the Hamilton statehood
bill now pending in Congress, and
demand its immediate passage
The people of Oklahoma want state-
hood. While the Hamilton bill may
not be just what we want It covers
the matter and meets the deuands
of the people, therefore, we demand
that it be passed at once.'
"Then the platform should have
gone on and condemned the course
of the republican delegat2 to con-
gress In opposition to the Hamilton
bill. The convention should have
condemned the administration of
territorial affairs and called atten-
tion to the number of bank failures
and pointed out the fact that there
was no protection for the funds of
the territory and that they are
lost."
"The fourth plank," continued
Mr Johnson, ' would have been to
condemn the system which enables
any private corporation to have
charge of the territory's insane and
make them a source of revenue
The next piank should have arraign-
ed the wasteful expenditure of public
money in needless educational insti-
tutions. It should have recited that
the democratic party favors reason-
able and^ necessary provisions for
educational institntlons, but con-
demns extravagance and profiigancy
"Upon such a platform the conven-
tion should have nominated a man
of depth and breadth of understand'
ing that upon the floor of congress
would have measured favorably In
comparison with the representatives
of other intelligent communities."
CLOSE IS CLOSE.
Oklahoma People Help to Briig Fair
to End on Tine.
St. Louis, Nov. 29.— It was a glorious
day for the World's Fair when the
President, accompanied by his wife
and daughter, visited the exposition
and the great throngs enjoyed it to
the utmost. Oklahoma was at the
forefront in splendid preparation for
the delighrful event.
A beautiful royal blue silk banner
with the president's portrait in oil
with gold lettering, "Oklahoma Wel-
comes the president" floats in the
sunshine from the balcony on the
front of the Oklahoma building. The
banner will be placed in the state
house at the capital at the close of
tbe fair.
The Oklahoma building, furniture
and carpets have all been sold and the
commission is rapidly bringing the
business connected with the fair to a
close after a most successful session
and with great and good results for
the future of Oklahoma.
Hon. Joseph Meibergen, Hon. Otto
A.Shutteeand Hon. Edgar B. Mar.
chant,commissioners forOklahoma to
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
bought the elegant dressing table
which has stood in the governor's
room at the Oklahoma building dur-
ing the World's fair, and today pre-
sented it to Mrs. T. B. Fergnion as a
souvenir of Oklahoma at the fair.
Tbe table has a French plate mirror
and is a beautiful piece of furniture.
This table was purchased by the com-
mission by private funds and was :
personal gift to the wife of Oklaho
ma's governor.
More Shop Talk
Lawton Democrat; -A gentleman
at the Keegan hotel this morning,
who is no doubt an official of the
Frisco oystem, said to another gentle-
n: "If you'll walk with me to the
Frisco yards, I'll show you where the
hops are to lie located." This was
all that was said nnil the two men
walked toward the Frisco yard*.
While the local officials here are
very reticent and while nstbing can
be definitely ascertained, it is with-
out doubt a determination on the
part of tbe Frisco railroad company
to remove their -hops and round
house from Enid to Lawton and to
establish a passenger division at this
point. A railroad man recently stat-
ed that, lie saw the contract signed
for such removal. •
Tbe above is really a humorous
report. The Frisco people have not
as yet established any repair shop*
at Knid outside of tbe repairing done
in the round bouse. Then attain as
Lawton is not on the same Frisc*
line as Enid a round house at Lawtca
conld not do the service the Enid
round bouse doe-. AH such shop
talk is evident boom matter.
A woman In town bought a uew
suit of brown clothes for her little
boy. 3be then tried t buy a brown
bat to match, but couldn't find one.
Because she couldn't find a hat to
match the suit, sbe returned tbe
clothes and uoug'at htui a suit. oi an-
other color, What man ever thought
of "matching" a suit in that «ay.
