At August ttrm of the corporation
oontmisslon of Oklahoma, whiah was
called Tuesday morning, the evidence
wes taken in only one case, two were
dismissed, one was passed until
Wednesday morning and six were
oontlnued. One was not reached
at the session. One of the cases dis-
missed was against the Frisco railroad,
brought by citizens of Fort Towson, ask-
ing that a right of way fence be re-
paired. OfficiPls of the line reported that
the repairs are under way and probably
| finished by this time.
t Th« other case dismissed was ugainst
I the Katy line, filed by citizens of Hallett
and asking tliat a train order station be
established there. The reason assigned
was tha£*the service generally had been
bad, because new men larning the work
have been stationed there. The eommla-
i slon asked t'he plaintiffs to withhold
I their case until they had a specific ln-
! stance of bad service.
I Evidence was taken In the ase of the
| Cleveland Vitrified Brick company of
; Cleveland, asking that the Katy and
I Frisco be compelled to make a connection
j at Hallett, w here there is a grade cross-
ing. They testified that the connection
I would afford them a large saving in
I freight rates on products shipped from
j their plant on the Katy line to points on
I the Frisco, Santa Fe and Orient lines In
the western part of the state. Now the
connection for these points is Cushing or
J Guthrie, making longer routes in every
j instance. Officials of both lines testified
1 that the connection would be mare ex-
pensive than beneficial and also lncon-
! venient, as the grade crossing Is u mile
| from each station.

Bedford ^ wa" 8entenf,p<1 to thirty days In Jail. He
had hoped to Btop here, get a supply of
his favorite drug and go on to Shawnee
