, of theft has been the alleged padding
I of pay rools by Roadmaster Fitzpat-
rick. of Indian territory, who has uis-
appeared. His method, it is claimed,
was to take the pay rolls sent him by
■ tne section foreman, and "dummy"
names and draw pay for them. As the
j pay checks and identification slips had
to be witnessed by an agent of the
i company, many station agents have
I gotten into serious trouble, and their
ii/rests are to follow.
I A. M. Eickerdite, the agent at Jones
City. Ark., was arrested and is now un-
der bond awaiting the action of the
i grand jury. Other methods of rob-
bery are expected to come to Jight.

Had to Swim Out

TELEPHONE MANAGER'S BOAT
UPSET IN' ANGRY FLOOD.
C. A. Prall, manager of the Topeka
& El Reno Telephone company, had
ais swimming ability tested in the rag-
ing waters of the South Canadian yes-
terday. The telephone line crosses
the treacherous stream a considerable
distance above the railroad bridge near
Union City. Several poles were washed
out when the quicksand bottom be-
gan to shift in the big flood and the
line went down.
Mr. Prall went out 011 the river in
a boat with one of the linemen to see
What could be done. The boat was
upset and the occupants had all they
could do to make their way to shore.
The boat with their tools went low.i
stream and was lost.
Fall Cotton Chopping
UNION CITY BOASTS THE
CHAMPION HAND OF THE
SEASON.
The absence of a number of well
known farmers from T".l Reno during
the past two weeks has become ac-
counted for on the theory that they
have been too busy with the weeds
which seem to be on the point of tak-
ing the fields, in this vicinity. There
has been a magnificent growth^of
crops. Alternating rain and sunshine
have produced a rank growth of vege-
tation in which corn and cotton have
strucgled for supremacy with the most
abundant variagatcd and luxuriant
growth of weeds seen in this vicinity
for years. Corn is six feet high in the
river bottom and four or five feet high
at other points throughout the coun-
try. Cotton is two to three feet high
and in many places it is entirely hidden
Irom view in the recesses, of t'he weeds.
Hon. Geo. E. Brown, formerly icoun-
ty commissioners is authority for the
statement that they have a man at
Union City who can chop four acres a
day. Many farmers inexperienced in
cotton culture who have planted ex-
tensively this season are now doing
their best to chop an acre a day. This
is about the limit of tlhr ability of
those who are unskilled in the work.
