TELEGRAPH CALL REKAINS
All that remains of what was once
a promising town in Oklahoma is a
telegraph call. Tnis Is “W. 5.,” and
while uow is used by the Santa Fe and
Western Union to call Kildare, it is
about the only reminder left of Wil-
low Springs Before the opening of
the Cherokee strip Willow Springs
was the only settlement between Ar-
kansas City and the Ponca Agency
It Is located a little west of what is
now the town of Kildare, though at
that time there was a railroad station
Known as Willow Springs, and was
the only stop between Arkansas City
and White Eagle. The latter place
was a water tank stop.
The town took its name from some
springs in the vicinity, which were
regarded as the best in the country.
Travelers by wagon from Kansas Into
old Oklahoma always camped there,
and as the travel was heavy there
was always a good sized floating pop-
ulation. Pink Foutz maintained a
stage station at the springs, and Bert
McCormick had his cattle camp there.
The place was also headquarters for
Captain Couch and D L Pavne when-
ever they were not being chased by
the soldiers. On account of Its near-
ness to Kansas It was an ideal spot
for these Oklahoma “boomers” and
their many followers. If close pressed
by the soldiers they could make a
dash Into Kansas and wait until the
soldiers has disappeared before going
back.
It was also a famous meeting place
for the Indians, and many councils of
the various northern Oklahoma tribes
have been held here,
f A bottling works was operated
there for a long time and did a big
business, being the only one in this
part of the country. On account of
the purity of the water the product
of their institution found a ready sale
and was regarded as the best.
A distillery was operated In the
vicinity at one time, but complica-
tions arose that put It out of busi-
ness.
It Is believed that Willow Springs
was also headquarters for a band of
outlaws. They often held up Santa
Fe trains in this vicinity, and as the
efforts made to capture the robbers
were never very strenuous, they had
an easy time. It is said, also, that
just after one of the hold-ups there
were usually absent from home sev-
eral prominent citizens of Willow
Springs. Their absence was not ques-
tioned, and there is no way of proviBg
that they had anything to do with
the robberies, but the coincidence is
simply mentioned as a probable solu-
tion.
It will be remembered that these
hold-ups nsually occurred when Carl
Mac, of this city, was pulling the
train, and h$ became so used to hav-
ing a 45 pushed into his face and the
request made that he lend his assist-
ance towards opening the baggage
car doors, that he finally made out a
report and sent It to the officials cov-
ering the details of the hold-up. Aft-
er subsequent hold-ups he simply said
“Ste my report of such a date.” That
covered the case. He was almost on
speaking terms with the robbers, and
thinks they made Willow Springs
their headquarters.
When the strip opened the town of
Kildare was established, and soon ab-
sorbed its neighbor. The telegraph
company and railroad have never
changed the call for t hat town, and it
will for sometime probably remain
“W. S.” Then some one will come
along who, for some reason or other,
will decide that other letters will be
better, and will change It. That w.ll
remove the last reminder of Willow
Springs.—Arkansas City Traveler.
