STREET CAR
STEKE AT TULSA
GADSES RiOTS,
Sapulpa, Okla., July 22.—Desul-
tory firing near Parthenia PArk,
half way between Tulsa and Sa-
pulpa, at an early hour this morn-
ing leads to the belief that riot-
ing may ' in pfogress at the
park, where irom 500 to 1,00 men
gathered last night and were said
to have seized three cars belong-
ing to the interurban railway com-
pany.
Telephone Lines Cut
(_ itizens of Sapulpa have made
an effort to ascertain the cause of
the firing. Nothing can be learn-
ed from Tulsa as both telephone
and telegraph wires have been cut
by the party at Parthenia park.
1'wo invesigaors crep near he
rioters early this morning but
were warned also by shots.
I wo street car crossings near
the park have been torn up. Ef-
forts have been made by the men
to lift whole sections of track.
I'iles of ties and rails have been
thrown across the tracks at regu-
lar intervals. Pieces of rails arc
^planted between the tracks in such
a manner that attempts to run the
cars would mean wrecks.
Evidences of the use of dynamite
are declared to exist iti the wake
of the track destroyers.
Identity is Unknown.
I.tforts to ascertain the identity
of the gang working on the tracks
betwc < ii 1 nlsa and Sapulpa have
'been fruitless. Due to the lack of
communication between the two
cities no facts have been checked.!
It is the opinion in some quart- j
'•rs here this morning that the,
rioters are not union men but non-
union workers trying to strike a
blow at union labor It is report-'
ed from other sources that the !
gang is composed of lawless I
gangsters of the two cities.
