Capital here says: It has been rumored
for some time that the Choctaw had
issued an injunction against the Okla

up Saltwater Creek; that it has been
sustained AMI that a compromise is being
effected 10y which the Oklahoma Eastern
will now cross the Cimorran river at
Perkins and run to Saltwater and the

future. In regard to the above rumor
the State Capital reporter saw r. K.

Several years ago, the Choctaw rail-
road company did survey line up Still
water Creek, a branch extending from
Shawnee to Saltwater. So far as is
known, however, nothing farther was
ever done by the company and evidently
it had abandoned all rights to that sur
yeyed right OF way.

BELL TOO FREE.
Now He is Sued for $4,000
for Alternating Mrs. Frees
Affections. y

New York. June 27.-John Martin Free.
who says he is theatrical manager,
has brought suit In the Supreme court
In this city against Urban c. Bell for
the alienation of his wife's affections.
He asks $4,000 for the same, as he says
his wife was worth that amount TO him
for her society and care
The popularity of the case lies In the
fact that Mr.. Free does not raise the
question of a divorce, though he asserts

Mrs Free was a Miss Ruth Everett be-
fore her marriage To Free last Decem-

In a burlesque on "Sapho' In some sew

Frees charges are all based on the In
formation obtained from an anonymous
person who claims to have absolute proof
that Mrs. Free and Bell were together at
the Grand Central hotel in Detroit for
three days I'm March Of this year.

that even II he should have attempted the

TO BAR WOMEN,
Wes|eyan's Brave Boys Want
the Girls SummarIIy Turned
Out Of College.

Middletown, CT, June 27.-There Is
new and potential trouble in Wesleyan.
The beardless young men of that insti-
tuition submitted a long petition to the
trustees last night. setting forth their
reasons why young women be barred
out, and the grave old men who pose
as senators and admonishers astonished
the community by taking it serious
ly.
1t has long been held in graduate cir
cles that college man is best trained
for the worlds battles In an institution
where women are not received, but the
curious end OF the present kick Is that
it comes from the girl-fond youth of but
a few summers. who are now displayed
to the world as having been deceived
by some foe of co-education, who told
them 1t would be manly to ask the fac
ulty to send the young Awomen else
where. 3
More curiously It appears that the
young men make objection TO the pres
ence OF females because they cause a
diminntion or the athletic spirit. where
as 1t is a formidable fact that no such
effort at athletics was ever put forth as
when the fair sex were present. The
opponents Of the queer petition have
recourse to history for argument. and
make ii known that the wearing of a
woman's colors In the tournament Of
chivalry was an incentive TO breakneck
courage and hero work rather than a
drag upon the manly spirit as the boys
now put. the question.
The beardless ailege that were women
barred many who do not now appear for
entrance to Wesleyan would be knock
ing at Its doors. In their petition the
would-be thoughtfui youth who give
tongue In this matter said they were
willing that an annex be formed. but
wanted II done at once. They did not
favor the report OF the special COM
mittee which recommended the gradual
formation OF an annex. Nothing but
the immediate turning out Of the girls
will suit them. No new facts or ar
guments were presented.

LARGEST FLAG.
Il. Was Completed BY Miss
Mu|foTd, But She Died
From 0veTwoTk.

New York. June 27.-Miss Josephine
Mulford OF Madison. N. j., died yester-
day at All Souls hospital. Morristown,
N. j.. just as she had completed the
task of making the largest flag in the
world, with the proceeds OF the sale of
which she hoped TO lift mortgage OF
$4,000. held on her homestead by the
Mutual Life Insurance company.
The home was sold under the ham
mer yesterday. Her end was brought
about by nervous prostration, brought
about by overwork and anxiety.
The flag was made entirely by Miss
Mulford and measures 100 by 60 feet.
Miss Mulford designed II To float from
the dome OF the capitol and TO be paid
for by popular subscription. Each star
OF the flag measures feet inches
across.
The stripes are feet wide. The 45
stars are embroidered with the names
of the states which they represent, al
so with the date of their admission in
to the union. and arranged upon the
field in the order in which they were
admitted.

M'EWEN'S BETS.

{ Sure Tip Lost Him $4,000
ON Second.

New York, June e7.--What is said to
have been the biggest bet OF the year
upon any single horserace. I'm this part of
the country at least. was made Monday
at the Sheepshead Bay track. and. what
Is more, Il wasn't the wager OF any of
the well known plungers.
The bet was made by a millionaire from
Utah, named McEwen. who in addition
TO managing and multiplying his for
tune, cuts big swath i'm state and ma
tional politics.
Mr. McEwen has long been a personal
friend OF one OF the well known book
makers doing business on Eastern tracks,
and he came sauntering along on Mon
day Just before the jumping race, with
a plumper OF 5000 upon DIR. Eichberg to
win. The bookmaker took the bet, at
the same time telling his friend he had
selected the best horse In the race at
The Western capitalist went away, and
In about Is minutes returned, asking to
have the bet taken OF and transferred to

The bookmaker demurred. not on the
ground that II would upset his business
calculations but because. as he said, he
-"Wel then" observed Mr.. McEwen,
pleasantly enough IF you won't take off
the other bet. I'll Just make you another
of $1,000 on Hardy Pardee."
The proposition was accepted. and
when the horses went 10 the post the
speculator from the far West had $4,000
hanging upon the outcome OF the event.
After the finish the bookmaker had a
good hearty laugh at his old associate.
for, as everybody knows. DR.. Eichberg

Mr.. McEwen's desire to shift from

the earnest solicitation OF an acquaint-
ance who had heard that the last men,

COME-0N
Lost a Diamond Pin at PhAa-
de|phla and Said "0h
Let II Co."

Philadelphia, June 27.-There Is much
glee here because of the tale just told
about Mark Hanna and his lost dia-
mond pin.
The Colossus OF Republican politics
refused-to have the case reported 10 the
police and this has led TO no end OF
irreyerent comment as TO the nature
of the circumstances under which he
was deprived of his gem.
Indeed, persons who do not hold the
big friend of the president in high es-
TEEN, recall the fact that losers who do
loss often have reasons of their own for
not inviting inquiry which might dis
close more than were good to hear.
The fact Is that the millionaire Hanna
was plain come-on. Even the ofnclal
story OF the affair makes that clear,
and doubtless the censor passed upon At
before IL was given out.
This censored account OF the facts Is
that the diamond was lost ON the last
day of the Republican Convention while
a host OF eager folk were shaking the
hand Of Hanna. Then, so runs the le-
gend. cine OF the Republican push who
did not permit his right hand TO know
what his trusty left was doing, shook
the senator's fist and took away his
pin at one and the same time.
1t is held by many who have heard
the story and know the circumstances
tnat Hanna was much wrought UP by
the event. all the more because he Is
somewhat of a handshaker himself. II
Frivolous talk TO the effect that the
diamond was bitten off by young
woman who professed to have been
smitten by the senator's pulchritude
does not gain much credence here. es-
pecially in Hanna-smitten Republican
circles.
Agreement is general. however that
II was sad affair and that only the
most skilfully devised explanation of
the occurrence will stand Mr.. Hanna
in good stead when he gets home.
That Mr.. Hanna should be come-on
In a worldly sense as well as In politi-
cal one has given much deep thought to
his admirers in these staid regions.
