(Special)—Fort Smith Is all wrouKht up
over the bulldinR of the Fort Smith,
Guthrie & Western Railroad, which hw
been nurveyed from Fort Smith to
Guthrie, O. T.
A Joint meeting of the Commercial
league anil Traffic Bureau with the
promoters of the road was held Satur-
day and a definite proposition was sub-
mitted by the company whose respon-
elbillty has been fully established.
Mr. George Hayden of Michigan, Us
president, and T\ W Bond. lonK with
the Kansas and Texas Coal Company
Is engineer-ln-chlef. Colonel Oeorge T.
Sparks, president of the First Nation-
al Bank 4s also Interested as are a large
number of other Influential capitalists
of Oklahoma and New York.
The survey covers the richest coal
fields In the Indian territory and all
the preliminary work has been accom-
plished. The profile of the route has
been accepted by the secretary of the
interior and the necessary legislation
was passed by the last congress grant-
ing a right of way and all neo«e«ary
grounds for depot faciities and town-
site purposes, through the Indian coun
try, even to allowing a site for a depot
every ten miles.
This is one of the greatest pieces of
news that Guthrie has received in a
long time, and the local enthusiasts
who are connected with the company
are consequently very much elated
over It.
It means much for the city of Guth-
rie- £t means an eastern outlet to the
richest coal and mineral fields of the
Creek nation and when it Is completed
will give Itft "citizens cheap fuel and
will remove one of the-great bug hears
which manufacturers affect when they
talk about how much it cost to run a
man fac toring plant.
The money necessary for the com
pletlon of'the road has been secured
and Mr. Hayden has given assurances
,'that it will soon be under construction
Thus one by one the great ralroads
of the country are finding a way into
the profitable fields of Oklahoma and
the capital city may well be proud of
her latest acquisition in this line.

This College Girl U O. K.
A college girl, slipping down to New
York last month for a Sunday at home,
found presently her seat in the train I
shared by a young man. His appear- j
ance betrayed his species—the sort in 1
whom aseura&ce is developed at the
expense of breeding—and in a few mo- '
ments his conduct tallied with his
looks.
Finding that staring and smiling
were ignored, he offered a newspaper '
to his companion, which was declined i
by a nod ot the Uca-d; then a nvaga- 1
zlne, also d^oliued. Undaunted, he
hazarded the remark that tbe winter
was very mild. No notice was taken
of this interesting statement, but he
followed it with otherB.suggesticg that

At this time Deputy Warden •
Thompson said: "What if should
come to your cell some morning and
say: 'Taylor Cook, here is your death

Turning to the deputy and looking
him squarely in the face, the old con-

to my letter.
"This is a very sad life. Nothing

blessing to me when I was changed a
few weeks ago and placed in the new

can hear the machinery run.'

Some friends warned me. She told me

would not have listened to the wholo

was a fraud. I was driven mnd. and

during that timo he has occupied one
cell, except wheu out at work, on the
lower tier, or main floor, of the north
cell house. This cell has photographs
of his dead wife, children and grand-
children around the sides, and presents
a more attractive appearance than any
of the others.
Cook was sent in under a sentence
of death from Osborn county in 18M9
for the murder of his wife, whom ho
killed with an ax. Tho murder was a
horrible one, aud Cook is supposed to
have been at least partially Insane
He has live

theory that he wus insane ^hen the i
