ColIlnsville, Fortunately Sit

The growth and prosperity, OF
Collinsville has been the astonish-

watched its onward movement, but
to one who is familiar with the
country and its people, this is no
surprise.
Oollinsville is virtually situated
upon an island of considerable ex-
tent. Upon the north and east is
the Caney and Verdigris rivers,
upon the south the Bird creek
country, with its rich and fertile
valleys. Upon the west is the

the island would embrace county

Santa Fe is after coal and in the
extension will tap the rich fields
of the Creek nation, crossing the
Frisco about one mile and half

to Broken Arrow and Okmulgee.
Whether this is true or not, future
developments alone will decide;
at any rate Collinsville gets the

CITY WILL NOT COMPROMISE
ADVERSE REPORT ON DooLY
AND M'CoRNICK'S PLAN.
Councilmen See Everything to Gain
and Nothing to Loose By Refusing
to Settle Mays Loss.

If Bankers Dooly and Mccormick want
to be relieved of further liability to the
city on account of the money lost in Ba-
cons bank. they must come forward with
Il better proposition to compromise than
the one considered yesterday by the city
council committee on municipal laws
The committee. associated with City At
torney Hall. looked at the question from
every STANDPOINT. and finally. by unan-
imous vote. agreed to recommend to the
council that a compromise on the terms
proposed be declined, and moreover, that
the corporation counsel be directed to
press the suit against eX-Treasurer Mays
DOndsmen.
Two or three weeks ago, Messrs. Dolly
and Mccormick. as sureties on eX-Treas-
urer Mays bond. proposed. through City

missal of the citys suit against May and
his bondsmen.
But the committee, consisting of Coun-
cilmen Callister, Fernstrom. Weller. Wal
lace and Diehl, jumped all over the prop
oSition. IL was the cOncensus of opinion
that if the stock were worth more than
the city'S demand, the ex-Ireasurer's
bondsmen would claim the shares and
tender the city the original sum sued for.
with or without interest since June. 1896.
Then, again, il was reasoned that if the
stock had a large prospective value. the
city would have to run the chances of
paying assessments. if any. and after all,
the s. 60 shares are a small holding in
the entire capitalization of q 900 shares,
now worth only Z cents bid on the
market.
The committee took the stand that the
city had everything to lose and nothing
TO gain by compromising on the basis
proposed, and without exception the
members concluded that the suit should
be tried on its merits and fought to a
finish to determine whether the defense
is good of the eX-treasurer and the bonds
men that they are not liable for the citys
loss because the bank was believed TO
be safe when the wreck came.
