COLLISION OF DOUBLE-HEAOERS
BAD Freight Wreck Below PURCELL
En~ineer Cars Take Fire

Guthrie, O. T, Dec. 22-The Oklahoman
Of Oklahoma City in a special dispatch
from Purcell publishes details of the
Santa Fe wreck, as follows: y bad
wreck occurred on the Santa Fe just
south of this city at an early hour We'd
nesday morning 4 sou,hbound double
header freight train had broken in two
after leaving Purcell and while the
crew were coupling the sections again,
by some unaccountable error, a north
bound freight, also dou6le-header,
crashed into the train. The wreck was
an awful one Tho engineer of the north
bound was badly mangled and his re
covery is doubtful. The cars took fire
and in few moments were enveloped
In flames Eleven cars, containing lumber
and other goods, were totally destroyed.
A negro who was known TO he on the
train. is missing and it IS the opinion
of the railroad men that ne was in one
Of the lumber cars, and that he was
burned to death. The track was badly
torn up. 4 bi construction crew went
10 work at once repairing the track and
trains were running as usual by yester-
day morning. Several wrecks have oc-
Cured on the Santa VI recently and in
almost every instance the wrecked tram
was 4 double-header. It will be reuem-
bsred that railroad employees have been
wsginC a vigorous warfare against the
use of the double headers. DoUble-head-
ers are trains pulled by two engines.
But one crew is used to run them, thereby
saving much expense for the company.

GOVERNOR SAM MURPHY
Working Up a Congressional
Excursion to Arizona.

Washington, Dec. 22--Governor Murphy
Of Arizona is in the city. He Is working
to get as many of the members Of the

The Washington Times prints the fol-
lowing: Governor Barnes Of Oklahoma,
who is at the Normandie came 10 Wash
ington as the proxy of Hon. Henry Asp,
member of the Republican national COM
mittee for that territory. It is interesting
to noto that Governor Barnes vote for
Philadelphia as the place for holding the
coming Republican convention was the
decisive ballot by which the Quaker city
triumphed over Chicago, as the former
won by the narrow margin of one vote.
Had he sided with the partisans of CHI.
cago the Lake city would have obtained
the convention. How Mr.. Asp regards
this action Of his proxy cannot be stated
here, but 1t is worthy Of mention that
Mr.. Asp is attorney of the Santa Fe
railroad, and it would have been dollars
into the treasury of that corporation had
the national committee selected Chicago
instead of Philadelphia"

One good thing about green manurinI

One good thing about green manuring
is that it may be done at any season,
and in so many ways that some of them
are open to all. While clover is little
arbitrary in its demands, peas or rye can
come in a little later, and heavy growth
of turnips can be turned over after q
thrifty growth in August and Septem-
Der. Even weeds are good for manur-
ing, but it is hardly advisable to grow
them for that purpose.

Pure food and water are just as essen

richer neighbor in buying farm machin-

to grow them, but there will be greater

Young sows have fewer pigs in a lit

they give them as good frame to put

fat rather than milk will become so es-

An artichoke patch is more appro-

1t has been well said that the best
