Early Winter Colds
Re careful as to the colds you catch
earlv in the winter. They are par-
ticularly dangerous. A cold con-
tracted at this time of the year is
often hard to get rid of. An uncur

A MAN CHASE
_ Sheriff, a. u. McKay, from South
Dakota, was in the city Tuesday on
the hunt of a murderer, a n.an by the
name of tientry. who killed a fellow
traveler in that state more than two
months ago. The sheriff has been on
the trail of this man continuously ever
aince the crime was committed and
has traveled over practically all of the
two Dakota*. Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri.
Nearly all this time the trail has
been cold and only when he struck
Coffeyville, Kansas was he sure he
was on the right trail. His man left
there Thursday headed this way but
just as he thought he had his .juarry in
his grasp, the automobile, in which he
had been hunting the man for two
months, broke down and he was forced
to take to the rail road and local con-1
veyance. Gentry spent Friday night
at Oolagah, and Saturday night at Col-
linsville, leaving the latter place Sun
day morning.
Mr. McKay left here Tuesday for
Tulsa, believing his journey is almost
over and that he will have his man in a
tew days.

| I come to the county seat and stay longer
: than thirty-five minutes unless they

sult of the discussion was the passage
I of the following resolution:
NEW DEPOTS.
"The rapid increase in population, the
material progress in agricultural pur-
suits, the marked improvement in farm
buildings in the surrounding country,
as weil as the material prosperity of
our city, Claremore, showing an in-
crease in population to a city of TsiUO
people, more than <1 .ubling within the
last four years, should suggest to the
Frisco Railroad Company and the Mis-
souri Facilic Railway System, in a
large measure the direct beneficiaries
of all this progress, that railroad facil-
ities, and depot accommodation! and
comforts, are absolutely necessary to
keep up w.ih the progress of the cit v and
community.
This being a fact we cannot view
with patience and indifference tlie
O: slackness with which we have been
i treated by the two railroad companies
j in persisting in their neglect to give
ftt; Claremore large, com.nodious and com
! fortal.le depots for the acommoda .
■ ■ ti. .i of the traveling publ.c
Wj Therefore, lie it resolved that a copy
O! of the above resolution be forwarded
. to the proper officials of each railroad
company with the request that thw
matter have immediate attention at
their hands."

is subject to too heavy a discount at

had learned in the East that there is a
great deal of inquiry about Oklahoma.

were very flattering to Oklahoma. Old i
