THERE is need for the people of Fort
Worth to pull together if they wish 10
convert this town into @ city. Other
towns are thoroughly organized and
working and spending money as an iu-

forward-or backward. This fact must
be recognized, for there Is no standing
still. Owners of property dependent for
value on the growth of the town should
get together and act.

Dirt Roads.

That the dirt roads are of more i'm

almost a self -evident proposition. Rail-
roads belong TO corporations, which
possess the exclusive right to operate
them, but the dirt roads belong to the
public and can be used by the nabob and

a matter that is doubtful all through the

FORT SMITH, ARK, Oct. 24.-Eugene Standby
and John Boydac are now on trial in the United
States court charged with the murder of John
Dansby in the Choctaw Nation last March, and
the case is attracting much attention. Stand
ley is not yet twenty years of age. yet he has the
reputation of being one of the worst des perados
that ever traversed the trails IN the Indian
country. He has already served two
short terms in the penitentiary, and now
has seven cases OF highway rob-
berry to answer for besides this
murder case. His first robbery committed
last November, when he and his two cousins,
Hamp and Jake Staudley, robbed Marion Hern,
near Eufaula, Creek Nation, OF about 500 in
hard earned cash. They burned Hern's feet,
hung him until he was almost dead and then
threatened to pour coal oil on Mrs. Hern and set
her on fire before they secured the booty.
Next, Eugene tried to rob man named Jones
near Boegy Depot, Choctaw nation, and shot
Jones' son in the attempt. He captured.
but slipped his handouts and escaped While
In April last he and John Boyd, together with
an escaped convict known as George Mayors,
came to the Cache creek ferry just at night. The
ferryman, knowing there was a reward for them,
attempted their arrest. In the fight Dansby,
one OF the ferrymsn, and Myers were killed
and STANDBY and Boyd wounded. Boyd
captured but Standby escaped He was again
captured but made good his escape. Later on
he was recaptured in johnson county, Ark. If
he is convicted of the DarsbY murder it will not
be necessary TO try him on the robbery cases.
He had already been convicted of the Hern
robbery.
