BRIDGE BUILDING.
Reasons Set Forth for Con-
structing Of Wood.

J. D. McCleskey, the man who
put in the Sapulpa wagon bridge,
writes to know what the prospects
are for the early erection Of bridges
at Vinita, and wishes to submit
plans and bids. Touching the
question of steel or wood bridges,
his letter contains the following
reasons why, in his judgment the
latter should be employed:
/. You can get as long a bridge
for one-half the money.
2. The money used to construct
the work stays at home.
8. 1t gives employment to mill
men, labor, etc, at or near home.
y A. 1t will have the same capacity
and will last Is to 20 years and by
that time the country will be in
better condition to construct
higher priced bridges.

APPARENTLY CRAZY.
Man Found Wandering About flr.
Du Pree's This Morning.

This morning about five O'Clock
a stranger was seen wandering
about w. E. DuPgee's field, a
couple of miles above town. On be-
ing questioned as to what he
wanted he said he did not know;
that everybody was after him to
kill him; said he recognized Mr..
DuPree; that he was the man he
had seen at the depot this morning.
When asked if he wanted work he
said it was no use, as death was
his portion. He said his name
was Ed Thompson and that he had
lived at Garnett and at Greeley,
K ansas. From his appearance
more than his speech, Mr.. DuPree
Judged him to be Sweede or
Norwegian. He was given lunch,
which was eaten with greater
apparent relish than the "dollar
dinner by the New York demo-
Gratis or the ten dollar spread OF
the plutes. The man disclosed
fear or dread in all his actions.

Pleasant Evening Spent at Brackett's
Grove.

A party Of young people enjoyed
an outing and supper at Brackett's
grove on Little Cabin last evening
given in honor of Miss Laura
Holly, Of Quincy, H., who is here
visiting her sister, Mrs. Conklin.
After an hour spent at shooting
and boating, supper was served in
true picnic style and it is given out
officially that some of the dishes
served were truly the product OF
master hand-at any rate supper
was prepared to accommodate some
thirty people, but was all eaten by
less than half that many. Strange
what all appetite certain brands OF
cooking will develop in people
who are generally supposed to be
small eaters. After supper another
hour was pleasantly passed at
boating. The party returned home
about 8 O'Clock we'll pleased and
ready to go again. Those who
were there are: Misses Laura
Holly, Sayde Hill, severa Bur-

THE HALDERMAN TRIAL
The Dav Taken Up With
 Final Arguments.

The fourth days trial of the Ha!do:- man Broa. on charge of murder was taken up by arguments of council to the Jury,
 This morning when court was called the attorneys for the defense made a motion supported by afiidnvits' asking that the jury be discharged and charge against defendants dis missed, on the ground that 8 eye wit ness to the killing-a son of MT Will son who was supposed to be ct the house at the time of tn, killing, wss not supboencd as witness in the case by the prosecution. The prosecu- tion answered that they were not aware of such witness and first in- timation or knowledge of such was only had when motion was made. Upon this statement of facts motion was denied.
 The argument of case Ito jury was begun at II a. nj. District Attorney Land opening for the prosecution. He made plain statement of the case and referred to the evidence, of which he carried copy from reporters notes, showing irrecoEcilability in parts of statements, illustrating the weakness of evidence of the accused themselves and closing with strong plea that the death of the two officers who were ruthlessly killed while in the discharge of their duty be avenged and judicial reparation be meted out to the responsible ones.
 This afternoon Judge Jas Reilly began the defense. With the notes of the evidence before him, he con- nected the action of the dcfendan ts from the beginning to the end ol the terrible affair, endeavoring to show an abs3nce of the motive on their part to commit any crime and laid great stress upon the fact that
  Moore, who Was an avow ed enemy of Halderman, should have been per- mitted to assist in bis arrest. His deductions from the evidence was that Moore fired the first shot and spoke forcibly in defense of the ac:us- ei, his argument covering nearly } hours.
 At p. m. Marcus A. Smith follow cd Judge Reilly for the defense and has the attention of the jury as we go 10 press. Following MT. Smith, At torney A. R. English will close for the prosecution and the casa vii! be sub. mitted to the jury. It is thought the closing argument will be made tonight.
