true story of his infamy is told In
dramatic form In one scene of "For

which Lillian Lewis produces on an
elaborate scale. All the incidenta Of
the nnal success Of the crime are
told. A remarkable similarity with
the betrayal OF the Savior by Judas
marks ZetuchA's actions. Especially
is this 20 in the trust and frieadahip

DENIsoN AND NORTHERN.
judge Townsend Hands Down Hts Ords r..
AdIudkInR Non-JurIsdictIon-ca
All DEGREES Heretofore Made.

In the United States court tor
day the matter of the Denison
and Northern Railway company
was heard and the decision of
the court in the premises was
rendered as follows:
"On this, the 14th day of
March, 1898. came on to be
heard the plea of defendant,
the Denison and Northern Rail-
way Co., to the jurisdiction of
this court. for reasons stated in
said plea; and the court, after
hearing the same and being
fully advised in the premises,
is of the opinion that said plea
should be and the same is here
by sustained; and it appearing
to the court that neither the
original or amended complaints
in equity state facts sufficient to
constitute a cause of action in
equity and entitle plaintiffs to
the relief therein prayed for. 1t
is therefore considered, adj
judged and decreed by the court
that said complaints be and the
same are hereby dismissed from
the docket of this court for the
reason that this court has no
jurisdiction of the subject mat
ter thereof, and that all orders
and DEGREES heretofore made
herein be and the same are
hereby set aside, cancelled and
held for naught and that the
receiver heretofore appointed
herein be and he is hereby dis
charged. To which judgment
of the court the plaintiffs and
the Mineral Belt Construction
Co.. in open court at the time
of the rendition thereof, duly
excepted
Immediately following this
decision attachments were filed
against the DenisOn and North
ern Railway company by the
Ranney-Alton Mercantile COM
pany, amounting to $17,500.
Those debts made by the Min
eral Belt and Construction com-
pany accrued while the affair
was in the hands of a receiver
and are therefore not directly
against the present Denison aud
Northern people. A company
composed of J. A. Atkinson,
Chicago; w. J. Scott. Chicago;
G. S. Cobb. Alexander Rennie
and J. B. McDougall, Denison,
Tex. Mr.. Scott was asked to-
day what the outcome of this
decision would be, and he re-
piled: 1.-The speedy building
of the road" The company he
said had everything in readi-
ness for its construction and
work would hegln at once.

Dropped Dead.

From DIR. c. A. Scaife of
Dougherty who was in the city this
morning the ARDMoREITE learned
of a fatality which occurred yes
terday afternoon near Dougherty.
He said that a number of people
had gone out on Rock Creek and
were close TO the railroad tank,
when for a matter of amusement
Joe Frost and another man, en-
gagged in tussle. After scuffling
around for a time Frost stepped
back a step or two and instantly
dropped dead. 1t is believed that
heart disease under the excitement
of the moment was the cause of
death.
Deceased we are informed is not
related to the s. w. Frost family
at Dougherty.

the prison, and they came on the run to
investigate. Guard Gump was the first on
the scene, and taking in the situation at
glance, opened fire on the two, prisoners.
This was returned until the revolvers of
all the participants were emptied. In the
fray convict Atkinson was shot down. As
soon as the guns were emptied, Guard Gump
rushed in, and with his cane almost beat
O'Neill to death before the prisoner would
surrender. Atkinson was shot in the body,
but is not thought to be fatally hurt O'Neill
was so badly beaten about the head that
his injuries may result fatally.
The other prisoners in the shop where
the shooting occurred took no part in the
affair, but it is understood that they stood
ready to follow if the efforts of the two
leaders proved successful. Previous to. maxi
ing the outbreak one of the two prisoners
forced a third man to place ladder against
the outside of the prison wall, so when they,
had fought their way out of the shop they
could shoot down the wall guard and make
their escape by that route.
1t is not known how the first revolver
was secured by the convicts, and at this time
it is impossible to secure definite state
ments OF the details of the shooting.
