An Old Field Tragedy.
About a months ago Charles E. Har-
per, a laborer in the Glenn oil field,
was shot and killed In the restaurant
that is patronized by the field work-
ers. The killing grew out of a quar-
rel in a poker game that was a regu-
lar thing and patronized by many per-
sons living there. Harper was n
native of Fannin county, Tex., famil-
iarly known as "Texas" and was quite
a gambler, but otherwise a good fol-
low. His wife appeared on the scene
two or three days ago, and Saturday
night federal officers arrested Robert
and Michael Glenn, brothers, and
Frank Buxton, owner of the restaur-
ant, as acesHorles to the murder, it

Will Not Burn Oil.
Tulsa, I. T„ Sept. 12.—(Special)—
The Frisco Railway company has
abandoned its plan of changing loco-
motives from the coal burners to the
oil burners. For the present the road
will stick to the same style of «n-
ginns. as It is believed the oil burner
is not sufficiently perfected.
Several engines were equipped to
burn oil. and while they did fairly
well, they were not as satisfactory as
the coal burning kind.
The oil burning engines give a great
deal of trouble. The fierce heat melts
the engine flues and causes the en-
gines to leak almost continuously
Soot from the oil collect in the ends
of the flues, stops them UP and ex
haust Is not sufficiently strong to clear
them. The results Is that the other
flues receive all of the heat and the
ends are melted.

AN ODD SUPERSTITION.
Hotel Men Never Let Register Close
After it Is Once Opened.
The superstitions of hotel men are
few; but the few that they entertain
are deep seated. One of the common-
est ls with reference to the closing of
the register.
"Here don't close that book cried
Horace Humphreys this morning to a
man who was In the act of shutting
the New Early register. "We couldn't
stand for that. When we open a reg-
ister, open she stays until she's full
up. Why? I don't know. Bad lurk
I guess to close a hotel register. Any
way we are careful at this desk to
see that our register Is always open."
