COULDN' LOSE HIM
Story of a Wife Who Tried to
Run Away.
TAKEN FROM THE TRAIN
Exciting Scene at the Santa
Fe Depot Yesterday.

rs my wife on here?" cried an excited
fellow as he rushed up to the porter Of
the south bound Santa Fe train yesterday
evening. as if the porter knew every
runaway wife in Kansas.
Conductor, you just hold the train a
hurried through the first coach and into
the next one where he found his wife
snugly ensconced in a buffeted receptacle
of the chair car. Beside her was a man
who is supposed to have purchased her
ticket to Ponca City, where they were
going for little jaunt out away from the
busy city of Wichita. The husband sud
denly became enraged, and jerked his wife
out Of the seat, through the aisle and onto
the muddy ground on the west side of the
train.
Come along here, Samantha" said
Josiah. "IH show you how you slip away
from me that way"
Il wasn't slipping away" said the wife,
who was so enraged and frustrated that
she hardly knew what to do.
The spectators were both amused and
frightened, and every window in the coach
was raised and out of every window was
a face or two, eagerly watching the out
come of the trouble.
The couple stood outside the train IN
the mud parleying until the train left, the
husband threatening to go in and take the
man out, too. Finally the wife nerved
herself up, and began to abuse her hus-
band loudly.
You mean thing, you. I can't go any
where but what you have to interfere. If
that train wasn't gone I'd show you
whether I didn't go or not"
The crowd on the platform began to
laugh and the couple left for home, down
the track to the little house just west Of
the Imboden mill. The husband carried a
guitar which his wife was taking with her
to execute a sacred selection of the Span
ish Fandango when she and her lover ar
rived at Ponca City.
A reporter for the Eagle followed the
couple to the house. When once inside
the wife began a tremendous line of abuse,
and there was a lively scrap for ten or
fifteen minutes, during which time dishes
ratified and there was every evidence Of a
serious mix-up. The wifes sister took the
guitar and left the house, sauntering
around on Fourth street, and into house
which was quarantined with measles.
The reporter went back to the house.
but the door was locked and everything
was quiet Then the sad side of the story
appeared. Two little, chubby-faced chill
dren stuck their cheeks up to the window
and innocently gazed at the reporter. They
looked as though all the world was a con-
cert, but there will be other days.
The police say this is the home Of Harry
Cain

c. 0. & G. RAIL ROAD EXTENSION
TO Little Rock. Ark. land of Cotton
Timber and Coal.

ElInDcf ana COdI-
The Little Rock extension Of the Choc-
taw, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad Will
open up one of the richest prospective
fields for development in the west.
The railroad follows the beautiful and
fertile valley of the Petit Jean and crosses
the great Fourche valley, the finest cotton
region in the state.
The timber and mineral resources are
unlimited. Its wonderful coal supply be-
ing one of the chief reasons for the de-
velopment by this line.
In climate, it is most genial and healthy.
It's scenery is superb, being a constant
mingling of mountain, valley, forest and
stream. The water supply is one of its
greatest attractions, there being mountain
streams throughout, with large rivers of
clear water. Arkansas is famous already
as being one Of the best watered states in
the Union.
There will be several frst-cIass towns
developed by the railroad company, among
them Bonneville and Magazine, in Logan
county, and Ola, in Yell county.
The frst-named, Bonneville, will have
the large Central Division, which the
lish there, while it is in the center of a
very rich valley, making most desirable
locati for the upbuilding of large city
From the abundance of it's coal and water
supply, it will undoubtedly be manu-
featuring center.
Magazine, at the foot of the great Mag
azine mountain, the highest peak between
the Rockies and Alleghenies, will also be
a good town and undoubtedly a great
resort. It has a most charming locat ton.
Ola. in Yell county, win also be a most
successful town from the start, being the
gateway to the Fourche valley and the
junction point for the Dardanelle and Hot
Springs railroad.
One Of the greatest attractions through
out the entire region is it's entire freedom
from dust and wind storms, while drought
and failure of crops is unknown.
The affairs of the townsite department
are in the hands of the townsite company,
of which Mr.. c. E. Bennett is manager
and treasurer, with headquarters at
Bonneville. Ark.
The opening sale will, we understand,
take place at Bonneville on Wednesday,
April 26, and all indications point to a
very large gathering.
The Choctaw and Frisco lines will run
special cheap excursions for that event to
Mansfield, Ark.
Arkansas is undoubtedly just beginning
an era of great development, its wonder
ful attractions now being brought before
the public by the different new railroads
already projected and of which some are
about completed
The Choctaw line deserves every credit
for being the pioneer IN this great work.

And l saw, In my fancie's chamber
The portrait OF lie.

Can this one really be mine?
Could it be that 7. Gods ewe-lamh
A lie like this had told?
Could IL be that l, in my lifetime.
To my breast lie did fold?
And then from out OF the silence
A voice I seemed 10 hear,
A sound as OF angels chanting.
And l listened, in deadly fear.
Then the room seemed hathed IN sunshine
A light all radiant from heaven,
And / heard an angel saying,

ASheyille, n. C..

Few regions have been more richly
endowed by Nature than that famous
section of Western North Carolina
practically termed the "Land of the
Sky" It has q climate so dry and
health-giving that it has become known
the world over as q natural sanitarium
for the cure of all troubles of q pull
monary or bronchial nature.
Asheville, the centre of this beauti-
full mountain hemmed plateau, is the
highest city east of Denver, and is q
busy thriving place of $4,000 inh abb
tants, with all the modernisns of city
life. The city lies just at the point
where the beautiful French Broad
and Swannauoa rivers Join their crys-
tai waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs
many people of wealth have built beau
tiful and expensive homes, most
notable among them being the chateau
of Mr.. George w. Vanderbilt, which
with it's great estate, has cost upwards
of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year resort,
for the great mountains protect it In
the winter from the cold winds. and its
summer climate is made delightful
because of its altitude.
For descriptive matter of Asheville
and vicinity, call on any Southern
railway agent or j. G. Andrews So P.

past 20 ears. 1t was turned out from
the Baldwin works in the fall of 1898
and is "ne of the heavy engines on this
division.
