We also find on file with the City
Clerk an order from Charles Darrow
and 2. T. Darrow, directing the Clerk
to pay every dollar he owes to any
man, for labor or material, by reason
Of the Fifth District Sewer. before he
receives a cent.
This would enable about one hund-
red and fifty men who helped build the
Fifth District sewer to get their mon
ey. The amounts due them range
from one to twenty-five dollars, and
aggregate about $5S6O0. We also find
on file in the City Clerks office item
lied statements by Mr.. Darrow, show
ing where the estimates went were al
lowed him during the progress of the
work. 1t nearly all went to pay la
borers. In explanation ii should be
said that it is rare thing to find a
sewer system put in for a city without
the ultimate cost figuring up to about
as much again as the original con-
tract price, This is no reflection on
any one connected with the work, but
is the almost universal experience in
sewer construction.
We believe chat the extra compen-
sation claimed in this suit, or at
least tn emOst of it, is just and ought
in equity be allowed, so that these men
would get their pay. We fully believe
thta there is no necessity for lltiga-
ton If the settlement was approached
in the right spirit and with determin-
alton to settle.

The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1900-05-17

In the Ell Reno Globe Dan w. Peery
talks about Guthrie negro polit cs in
this way:
Guthrie Is a negro heaven. II
there is any thing IN the world that a
son of Ham likes better than possum
and sweet potatoes it is politics. In
Guthrie the negroes have an oppor-
tunity to indulge in a political cam
paign most all the year round and
consequently they are happy. In
Guthrie the negroes are numerous aud
centrol politics. The Repu blican par
ty dares not ignora them II 1T hopes
for success The campaign gives the
negro political leader an opportunity
TO bleed every maa who has the te-
merity to announce himself as a cand-
idate for Office and the more candi-
dates the better opportunity they will
have to work them, For this reason
the negro politician tries to persuade
every white man that he can run for
Office. About this time of the year
the wise negroes begin the political
agitation. The reaction from the win
ter revival meetings is beginning to be
felt, the spiritual fever has cooled. the
average negro is wanting some new
excitement, this is the opportunity for
which the negro manipu ator has been
waiting. The first thing that he does
is to pass il around that there will
be an indie pendent movement among
the colored voters, that they are tired
of being led by the Repu blican bosses;
a meeting is called and some of the
leaders make impassionate addresses
telling the wro gs that they have suf-
feaed at the hands of the Republican
party and favoring the nomination of
an independent colored ticket. Such
shrewd negro politicians as McCabe,
Judge Perkins and Captain Taudy
will call ward meetings most every
night and harangue the colored
brethren to stand firm and not be the
tool of the Repu ublican party unless
they get the promise of something.
Politics has just about re ached that
stage now in Guthrie. On nearly every
street corner can be seen a gang of
niEgers talking loudly discussing the
situation. TO stranger in that town
it would seem that the whole negro
population had nothing else to do but
talk politics and that the election was
20 occur the next day. This independ
ent movement on the part of the negro
leaders usually brings the white Re
publicsns around, and Barnes, Greer
ct al "see" these sunburnt leaders and
fix the matter all up with them. They
in turn tell their colored brethren that
averything is all right, and they will,
as usual, support the Republican
ticket. A political party is hard up
for support that must depend upon the
vote of an ignorant, an alien and an
in feIior race for its success.

heals liberation, checks the debilitating
drains, cures female weakness and the
accompanying bearing down pains. 1t
gives vitality and elasticity TO the organs
peculiarly feminine, and establishes the
nltural conditions which make for the
easy birth of healthy children.

During the past week number
Of big contracts have been let for the

In various parts of the city. The de-
mand for store buildings and resi-
dences is so great that capitalists are
freely investing in property, and are
having constructed brick buildings IN
all sections of the city, which add
greatly to tbs appearance OF shreVe-
port. Contractors assert that the
amount of building this year will ex-

Persistent Efforts to Wreck Trains.

Lafayette. Pointboeuf, the
assistant engineer at the power house
of the electric light and waterworks
plant, was arrested Friday night and
charged with an attempt at train
wreeking. For about month the
trainmen in the Southern Pacific
yards have been suspecting that some
one was making persistent efforts to
wreck a train. Several times it was
discovered that q switch had been
tampered with, but fortunately it was
found out in time to avoid any serious
accident. Detective Long of the
Southern Pacific company detailed
Henry Giancelloni, railroad man to
keep close watch and to capture the
cu}prit if he made any further at
tempts. At II o'clock last night Gil
ane.loni says man approached the
switch near electric power house,
broke the lock and so arranged the
rails that any incoming train would
run into some cars standing on a side
track. Gianelloni says that he recog-
nized the man as being Jules Point
boeuf. The man walked about two
acres to O switch on the Louisiana
Western tracks. He repeated what
he did the other switch. The re-.
moval of this switch was calculated TO
Cause fearful damage to both life and
property. After shifting the rails.
Pointboeuf, in order to complete his
diabolical work, threw away the lamp
whose red light might have given a
signal of danger to the trainmen. AT
this juncturc he was covered by Gil
anelloni's pistol and was told to throw
up his hands, which he did. He was
taken to town and turned over to
Marshal Peck of the police force. He
protested his innocense, and insisted
that he had not tampered with the
switches. He claims to be innocent,
Pointboeuf was for q number OF years
employed as engineer, but was dis
charged and given an inferior position
which he hold for some time, mt
ouit to work for the town at the pog
or house. Pointboouf is about fort.
years of age, and has q wife and hv'
children.

who on December 18th last shot and
atallv wounded Jim Maloney. Tar
yer testified that he had had q difficult
ty with Maloney at Boyce, La. When
they met at the soloon in Monroe,
Tarver says, he offered to shake hands
With Maloney, but the latter cursed
him and refused to do so. Then they
went into the yard, where occurred
the difficulty that resulted in the
shooting. Tarver swore that Meloney
drew knife on Him and that he shot
in self-defense. The knife was found
under Maloney when he fell. Other
witnesses were heard, after which the
Judge held the accused in $4,000 bail
to answer at court.
