Ruby Schell, a young man about
seventeen years of age, was held up
and shot by two negroes about two
o'clock this morning, on South Cher-
okee Btreet.
Ruby's father Is an employe of the
telephone company, and lives about
two blocks south of Broadway, oa
South Cherokee street.
The young man started home this
morning about the time mentioned,
and when he had reached a point
about a half block south of Okmulgee
avenue, on Cherokee, he was con*
fronted by two negroes, and com-
mantled to halt. He halted, and one
of the negroes pulled a pistol and
told him to "produce," at the same
time placing the weapon against
him.

Washington, Aug. 27.—P. L.
Soper, United States attorney for the
Northern district, stopped over in
Washington to-day enroute from
Canada, where he has been spending
his vacation with Mrs. Soper, who
went to Canada on account of her
health. Mr. Soper devoted the en-
tire day to departmental' matters
pertaining to the territory.
Joseph McCoy, formerly in the
district attorney's office, this city,
now in charge of the Republican
headquarters at Kansas City, is here
for a few days.
A plat Bhowing two miles of the
right of way for the Muskogee Elec-
tric Traction Company over the
streets of the city was filed at the
city hall yesterday afternoon. Ac-
cording to the franchise, it is re-
quired that the company file a plat1
for this distance, but if the com-
pany sees fit to cover more territory,
it may do so without filing.
The route to be followed by the
company in putting down tracks for
the two miles designated, is divided
into sections, one mile on the west
side of the Katy road and one on the
east.
The place of beginning on the
West Side will be the Katy depot,
then west on Broadway to Elev-
enth street, north on Eleventh to
Court street, and west on Court to
Kendall boulevard.
On the East Side, the place of
beginning is the Katy depot, then
east on Broadway to East Side boule-
vard, south on East Side boulevard
to Okmulgee, and east on Okmulgee
avenue to the Frisco railroad.
W'hile the plat only shows two
miles, Gen. Ira L. Reeves, the pres-1
Ident of the company, says that at i
least six miles of track will be laid,
and that later on the line will be ex-.
tended.
It is the intention of the company
to postpone work on the construction |
of the line until the material is here j
to complete it by this means avoid- j
ing much delay that would be necefr i
sary if work was commenced imme-
diately.
The work in all departments will j
be rushed as much as possible, how- i
ever, and when once the track lay-1
ing comences it will not be long1
until the work will be completed.
It Is thought that qarB will bs
running on this line by January 1,;
1905.
