New Difficulties Arise to Block the
Way of the KenOSha Street Rail-
Way co. on Milwaukee Ave.
MAY BE FOLLOWED BY LITIGATION
Citizens Object to the Manner in which the
Company is Setting Trolley Poles
and Dire Threats Are Made.

With an injunction hanging over
their head, and an unfriendly council
watching every move, the Kenosha
Street Railway company has found
still another serious difficulty con-
fronting them in their effort to COM
p1ete the tracks for the street railway,
in the way of a large number of angry
citizens residing on Milwaukee avenue.
The trouble has all arisen over the
erection of tro11eyspoles. A day ago
the company started the erection OF
the poles along Milwaukee avenue and
for the first block everything went
very we'll. Then the trouble began.
In setting the poles they were being
placed at a certain distance apart and
it happened that in following out this
general scheme some of the poles will
be placed in front of driveways, streets
and even gates. This fact brought a
desperate howl from property owners
affected and for a couple of hours Wed
nesday afternoon the property owners
were busy making dire threats against
the workmen of the company.
One man sharpened up his ak and
threatened to cut the pole down, while
others threatened to tear up the entire
road bed. It looked like some serious
trouble was pending and the company
did everything in it's power to stop the
advance of the trouble. Compromises
were freely made and as far as posi-
BILE the poles were located in place to
suit the property owners. This ap-
peased portion of the property own
ers, but in some cases the poles could
not be changed and more serious trou-
BILE is expected.
Milwaukee avenue now has three
sets of poles-the telegraph, the te1e-
phone and the troublesome trolley
poles. Ali of the poles are set in a
different line and none of the COM
panies are willing to make a change.
The property owners show no desire to
be unreasonable in the matter, but
they are demanding that the trolley
poles be set in such places as not to
interfere with free ingress and egress
of their property.

dent, In Trouble at Milwaukee.

Thomas Edwards, an old man claim

alton by the Kenosha police force.
The old"man claimed that he found

GRAND JURY
Members Above the Average in Intel
Iigence and Good Work is Ex.
petced.

Col Soper and Deputy Prose-
cutting Attorney Orrin Rider are
enthusiastic in their praise Of the
high standard Of intelligence of
the present grand jury.
Every member, they say, is a
man of discernment and they ex.
pect great results in consequence.
When impanelled the jury got
right down to work under the
foremanship OF MI. Grant Victor
and % indictments have been re-
turned up to yesterday noon. Mr..
Rider states that the present
is above the average OF the regular
grand jury. "It is free of cranks, "
said Mr.. Rider, "and every mem

Our Cemetery.

We wish we knew what we could
say that would arouse some interest
10 the condition of our cemetery.
Just 20 out there and look at the neg
Iected graves; the grass, the weeds,
growing up in tangled mass afford
ing security and hiding for snakes.
See the sunken mounds and often be-
side them an unsightly slate OF clay.
Tombstones fallen over or inclined
downward as il bowling their heads
in shame at the neglect of those
whose duty it is to see they are kept
in place. This is no overdrawn pic
ture. We have been there. There
are a few exceptions, however, and all
praise is due those who honor and
revere the memory of their loved ones
by keeping their last resting place
beautiful with flowers. Some thirteen
years ago the ladies improvement So
ciety raised over 5000 which was to be
spent on the cemetery. The grounds
we're fenced but the rest Of the money
was needed in a school building and
nothing more has ever been done. 1t
is the rule to neglect cemeteries, but
let Vinita break this rule aud let It
heralded abroad that the Vinita GEM
etery is properly cared for and that
each and every citizen is proud Of
that fact The city council has
charge Of the cemetery but no money
is being spent for the care Of it. The
trouble with this matter usually is
that no one seems to want to take
the lead. There are number Of
our best ladies who have agreed TO
form an association aud collect and
spend the funds on the cemetery, aud
a great. many more are wanted. and
will be called upon. II YOU have any
relatives buried in the Vinita ceme-
terry. just think Of the condition Of it
and talk OF it to your friends and let
us help this scheme whereby ogT
grounds will be cared for and made 4

Judge Gill must necessarily take
a great deal for granted when it is
incorporated in the assertions Of
attorneys. Last term, because of
a petition of great many colored
men of the city and assertions by
attorneys he suspended sentence

edged hog thief, pleaded guilty.
Judge Gill was soon TO learn that
he was being imposed upon and
today called Miller before him

indictments and ignored the
charges of selling and introducing
liquor against Jack Wilson and
James Gourd and a charge of
burglary against Matte Virgin.

FEDERAL COURT.

the case of the charge of assault
with intent to kill pending against
Frank Ratlingourd was continued
Nearly the entire afternoon was
consumed in the taking of evil
dence. Then Judge Gill elabor-
ately charged the jury so Justly
that neither side could offer OBJ
lection. Attorney J. f. Faulds,
of Muskogee, for the defense, made
an elaborate argument in the face
of bad case. He reviewed the
testimony, pleaded for justice and
A.snercy and at the close of his elo-
quent appeal many listeners who
had predicted hasty conviction
were in doubt. The jury returned
verdict of not guilty, but much
to compel this verdict in addition
to Mr. Faulds' masteriul argument,
was attributed to the bad impress
sion the prosecuting witness, ex-
marshal of Chelsea, Harrison
Williams, made on the stand by
his assertion that che always got
what he went AFTER" when further
evidence showed that he got sew
eral weeks in bed when he went
after Ratlingourd.
Joe Z. Mitchell, the wholesale
chicken and box car thief, whose
little children were sent to the
Whitaker Orphans home upon his
arrest six weeks ago, appeared in
court. He pleaded guilty before
the commissioner and grand jury
but now his attorney. Mr.. Neville,
demands trial. Mitchell is GER
tainly unfortunate as his conles-
sions are admissible as evidence
and there seems to be no chance
of anything but conviction. Mr..
Soper urged that his plea should |
stand, but he declined. A convic-
tion means, in all courts of the
country, longer sentence than if
he saved expense by pleading
guilty.
Fred Moore, negro recently re-
leased from the reform school was
sent to the "pen" for five years
for stealing jewelry and clothing
amounting to s1O3.50 in value from
the home of D. w. Muir at Mus
kogee.
John Dooley, Of sallisaw, is
hard working young fellow Of good
reputation. He fell by the way
side by making himself a good fell
low with some companions who
sent him after liquor. Then one
Of them turned on him and told
the marshal all about it. He
pleaded guilty and Judge Gill re-
fused to make a criminal out Of
him until he ascertained more
about his character. Letters were
sent to 5allisaw and if Dooley's
statements are corroborated Judge
Gill will certainly send him back
to work on the farm be left when
arrested.
viii Carter is a negro kid who
stole a pair of pants at Eufaula.
The indictment stated that the
pants were worth s4. Carter said
they were worth only "three dol
lars and six bits, and because Of
the odd quarter Mr.. Soper laugh
ingly refused to argue the point
with the boy. Carter, Percy Neal
and Con Milan. fellow negroes,
in the same offense.
were sent to Jail by Judge Gill for
30 days each.

gay aud flaming decorations of the
Pan. American exposition gave way to
symbols of sorrow. The black drap-
cry of the city's streets mufiled the
ioliing bells OF the churches. Bits OF
crepe appeared on every sleeve, and
sorrow was everywhere apparent.
In the morning simple service
took place at the residence on Della
ware avenue where the mariyred
president died. a hymn was sung and
prayer was offered over the dead
body. That was all. Only the imme-
diate family aud the friends and po'
litiCal associates OF ;ae late president
were present. The scene there was
pafheihic in the extreme. Then the
body was born out TO the waiting
cortegc on the hrawny shoulders OF
eight sailors and soldiers of the re-
pu5iic. The cortegr passed through
solid walls Of living humanity. bare
