began an investigation of the matter.

Glenwood Springs, Colo., April 26.
Secretary Loeb left today for New
Castle and will make his second visit
to President Roosevelt in the Rockies.
President Roosevelt's hunting trip has
been crowned with success far be-
yond his expectations or those of the
most sanguine of his guides. Three
bears were killed by the party, one by |
the president and one by Dr .Lambert,
P. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs, one
of the president's hunting companions,
arrived here last night, accompanied
by Courier Chapman, They brought
the story of the hunt. The killing of
the three bears was telephoned to them
and they understood that President
Roosevelt brought down two of them,
but the details are lacking.
The party is almost snow bound In
its present location and no attempt will
be made to cross the divide. Fifteen
feet of snow is on the ground on the
other side and any effort to reach Red
Stone would be futile. The hunters
are satisfied, however, for they have
reached the center of what the guides
say is the best bear country in Colo-
rado. Bob cats are thick in the coun-
try now being hunted, so plentiful in
fact that many are allowed to escape
without a shot being fired in their
•direction. Several fine skins have
been taken however.
Jefferson, Okla., April 26.—As a re
suit, of an accident at this place yes-
terday George Arnold, freight engineer
on the Rock Island, was killed and
fourteen cars ditched.
An extra south bound Rock Island
freight had just passed through this
city at 4 o'clock and was proceeding
south when Engineer Arnold noticed a
cow which had been caught in the cat-
tle guard some few feet in front of ,his
train. He was too close to the animal
to reverse the engine, although he
tried this. Then seeing that he must
go ahead he put on full steam in the
intention of gying over the cow with
a rush. He then jumped from the train
but in falling his head was caught be-
neath the wheels of the front freight
cars with the result that he was de-
capitated.
The train was telescoped, the engine
and tender remaining on the track af-
ter the impact with the cow, and the
other cars piling on top of them or fall-
ing into the ditch at the side of the
track. Fourteen freight cars were de-
railed.
Engineer Arnold's body was taken
to Jefferson where it now lies. No
other persons were injured in the ac-
cident.

Enid, Okla., April 26.—Strenuous ef-
forts were made Monday night by the
Denver, Enid and Gulf people to secure
a franchise to build- a short spur
through an alley here but were turned
down coldly by a city council who ap-
parently (lid not figure on the future
or what the railroad company might
do for or against Enid.
Judge Dale of Guthrie, general coun-
sel for this company, was here and
presented his client's cause as nearly
plan as he could, yet Ills efforts
amounted to nothing-
It is possible that this may result In
something detrimental to Enid, in the
way of losing the shops and general
offices.
There has been considerable talk on
the part of the Alfalfa Route people of
moving the general offices to Guthrie
and also building the shops there. The
capital city has shown the Denver,
Enid and Gulf many considerations
and, it is said, is willing to do any-
thing asked within reason in the fu-
ture.
J. J. Cunningham, general passenger
agent for this railroad, went to Guthrie
yesterday, and it is likely that other
officials "will visit that city shortly to
see whether or not arangements can
be made to build the shops there and
move the general offices to that point.
The Denver, Enid and Gulf now em-
ployes at Enid more than 50 people
and maintains a pay roll of over $o,000
a month. Should the shops be built
here it would double the pay roll. This
means a great deal to any c'ty and
Guthrie business men are wide awake
enough to look after the matter in
time.
Whatever the railroads have asked
of the capital city they have always
received and nothing has been lost by
acting in this manner. With nine rail
roads Guthrie is Ihe best and most
enterprising commercial center in the
southwest and there is nothing to hold
it back.
Vice President and General Manager
Peckham of the Alfalfa Route, has the
interest of every point along the line
at heart and will work for these places.
He and his railroad deserve a recom-
pense and a respectable consideration.
He states that there is to be a million
dollars spent on construction work
within the next year. Wherever this
goes it will mean much.

ALL ARE MERGING
PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
u
William Grimes, as territorial insur-
ance commissioner, today canceled the
authority, given the Interstate Live
Stock Insurance company of Washing-
ton, D. C., to operate in Oklahoma. The
company has been doing business In
the territory for about six months.
The license, allowing the company
to operate, was secured by Jay Har-
ris, at that time of Oklahoma City, but
now of Dallas, Texas, who at that time
vouched for the Interstate Live Stock
Insurance people, and secured for
them the permit to do business. A few-
weeks later, Mr. Harris sent a letter
to the insurance commissioner here,

■lhe annual convention of the Indian
Territory Sunday School association

day of next week. May 2 and 3, and
one ot the main propositions to be dis-
cussed will be the proposed merger of
thai association with the Oklahoma as-
sociation, under the name of the Okla-
homa State association.
I .'or the purpose of submitting this
proposition William Rogers, general se-
lClary or the Oklahoo.11 association, and
Haynea Buxton of Oklahoma
City, the chairman of the executlvo
.ammlttee. have beet named a commit
tee front the Oklahoma association. They
n ill attend the Muskogee convention
holh days and will argue the benefits ot
the merger.
The Oklahoma association will hold Its
annual convention at El Reno on May 23.
24 and 25. and on that occasion the mer-
ger will also be an Important question,
provided the Indian Territory people act
favorably thereon. There Is every rea-
son to believe th.1t the action will be
favorable as all other similar societies
are merging The bankers, lawyers, un-
eertaknrs and various other organisa-
tions of the two territories are now
merged, till B"ttlng In shape for joint
statehood.
Kred I. Wenner, who Is one of the
leading Sunday school workers of the
southwest, salu today that he believes
the two associations will unite. He says
such a merger will not be In opposition
to the trust" laws of the territory nor In
violation of the decision in the Northern
Securities case.
The bar associations of both terri-
tories have united aad the newspaper as-
sociations will soon do so.

Shawnee was chosen the next place
of meeting. Messrs. C. .F Barrett, C.
E. Verity and L. G. Niblack were ap-
pointed a committee to bring about a
merger of the press associations of
Oklahoma and Indian territory.
New officers were elected as fol-
lows: R. E. Stafford of Oklahoma

Thomas, Geo. A. Smith of Chandler,
and R. H. Wessell of Frederick, vice
presidents; O. K. Benedict, Hobart, re-
elected secretary-treasurer.
Before adjournment the retiring
president Instructed the secretary to
send a list of the names of the mem-

Miller, at the 101 ranch so that tick-
ets to the park and grand stand could
be furnished the National Editorial as-
sociation when that body went there
on the 9th of June. The president also
outlined the route to be taken by the
editors in going over the territory and
on the way to Portland, which will
give them a pretty thorough idea of
Oklahoma. As the time was short
when some of the members had to take
their train home, the hearing of re-
ports from some of the committees was
dispensed with, and after election of
officers and selection of the meeting
place for the next year the association
was adjourned.
