REBEKAH RESOLUTIONS
CALL FOR CONVENTION
Issued by the Single Statehood
Executive Committee of the
Two Territories!
In Memory of William Nelson
Warren, Adopted by Victoria
Lodge Number 56.
The Frisco trains from Oklahoma
City have been late now since Sunday
but are today worse than ever
A cloud burst at Oklahoma City
and up the river raised it suddenly
Saturday night and it has been bad
ever since.
The Choetaw has nut been running
trains in or out of the city since then
but the Frisco kept soing with no
delay except that caused by running
slowly over threatened points until
Monday night.
The wejt bound train Monday night
was the train which pulled into
the city. The authorities there hav-
ing advices that an increased volume
of water was coming down the river
took the precaution to send the train
back to this side of the main Cana-
dian bridge far enough to be clear of
the threatened part of the line and
ti^ere held it till morning. If this had
not been done the tiain woijld styl be
in the city as during the night the in-
creased volume of water struck the
line and plowed through it in several
places. Wooden tracks were hastily
thrown across these washed out places
and baggage transferred across with
hand cars and push cars. o
The passengers mostly preferred
walking and made their way across
the three or /our washouts bf walking
the -xti's which were laid oitsides to
make track for the push cars. The
train thus tilled was the one which
o
reached here an hour late yesterday.
The meteor which passed through
yesterday morning was held this side
of the danger point and passengers,
baggage and mail brought over to it
yesterday evening as they were to the
morning train and it was backed up till
a side-track was reached and then the
1 engine switched to the Ij'ont and came
in nearly two hours late last night
with Pullmans next the engine and the
| baggage cars at the rear end of the
train.
The west-bound train which passed
here yesterday evening had to stop
this side of the half mile of dangerous
track Snd transfer was made to it this
: morning the same as to the* other
trains, but it could proceed only a few
miles in this direction, as during the
night a part of the track near Spencer
had washed out and there it still is
between the two washouts. A tempo-
rary track was thrown across, as was
across the places near Oklahoma City,
and passengers, baggage and mail
I from that train transferred to the
; meteor, which passed through here
i this morning, and from the meteor to
s the other train. Thus the passengers
j for the west had to make two trans-
fers befofc reaching Oklahoma City.
1 ana. the east-bound two transfers to
! get in this direction. The train due at
! noon it is thought will not reaco here
until ajjer 5 o'clock this evening. An
engine running down backwards
for the purpose of pulling the train
! back passed through here about 2
Whereas, The Supreme Ituler of the
universe 111 His infinite wisdom has
called our brother, W. N. Warren,
from the earth-life to the wiaer life
beyond, and
Whereas, Our deceased brother was
