PEOPLE ARE KICKING
Don't Want the Railroad Cutting
Through Their Parlor.

Through Their Parlor.
Ardmore, I. T., July 23.-The Appeal
gives an account Of the progress Of the
Arkansaw & Choctaw:
The line as surveyed goes through the
most beautiful residence portion Of the
city and viii necessitate the removal Of
several handsome residences The dnan-
cial loss to the owners and the fact that
tie removal Is made necessary by the road
is causing considerable anxiety among
residents OF North Ardmore. Many have
lived on the proposed right Of way for
several years. They have built substan-
tial houses with view Of living there
permanently Some have fruit trees
growing IN their yards. others have only
a small place, but they call it home.
The road now proposes TO destroy these
places, or else cause the residents to
seek new homes. and that is the reason
there is violent opposition on their part
to the roads survey through North Ard
more. The line runs directly through
Captain Hammers place He is pleas
antly located. and has built a nice home.
The road would cause Marshal Hammer
to vacate. He said he could not see why
the road could not use the Choctaw. ok
Iahoma & Cuffs tracks through the
town
.I have improved nice place" said
Captain Hammer. "And I understand
that I will get pay only for the improve
ments. Besides the financial loss there
is another view to take Of the matter.
A man naturally hates TO give up his
home. The road could probably change
its route. and 1 have no hesitancy in say
ing that if the property owners would pre-
sent the matter to the people OF the Ar
kansas and Choctaw they would respect.
as far as practicable, the wishes OF the
people.
do not think the councils action win
affect the road one way or the other. The
road operating under an act Of congress,
] believe could enter Ardmore in any
manner they saw tit I dislike to see
that part of the town cut up. The wo-
men and children have a nice driveway
in that section. and the road ruins it,
Many persons along the line expressed
the same view as Captain Hammer took.
They cannot apparently get reconcfed to
the idea Of giving up their homes. and
looking at it from this light no one can
blame them. on the other hand, how
ever, there are many who believe that no
discrimination should be made and that
the council should turn down the ordi-
nance. As a matter Of fact. the two roads
VIII cut up the town. make it look like
thirty cents. and yet they cry for more
railroads. Let them come.

may be said around these white tents to-
day reminiscense Of those days were re-
told with fervent vigor. In the breasts
of the -Confederates there is a mutual
understanding. These hearts vibrate in
one common sympathy for a cause fought
for Ions ago and lost. It is natural TO re-
call the days Of pain. bitterness and
pleasure-swap stories and be contented.
In the long link that once united these
men the break has been gradual A com

lSFACE TO
FACE WITH
"PEN" PROBLEM
Oklahoma May Have 10 Build
Territorial Prison.
KANSAS WANTS OUT
Of the Contract for Keeping
Oklahoma ConViCtS.

Warden E. B. Jewett Of the state pen
itentiary was in Wichita yesterday on
his way back to Lansing from Guthrie,
0. T. where he held an important con
ference with Governor jenkins Of that
territory.
It is understood that the matter up
for consideration Is the care Of the Ok
Iahoma convicts in the Kansas penal in
stitution In word. Kansas, it is re-
ported, is tired of the Job Of providing
room and food for the transgressors Of
Oklahoma. The authorities Of the peni-
Tertiary have long known that there was
no profit in the Oklahoma prisoners. that
they were on the contrary a specific
and decided expense. Lately another dis
covery is reported, that Kansas has no
right to entertain in its state institution
prisoners from any other states or ter
ritories.
What viii be done in the premises IS a
matter that is stnl in the air. Oklahoma
has no penitenuary. If its prisoners are
shut out Of the Lansing institution a ser
ious problem viii come up for solution
by the territory officials.
Before Oklahoma made arrangements,
long ago, with Kansas for the care Of her
prisoners. the territory tried several
other states and territories and was
turned away by the officials of New Mex
leo, Colorado and Missouri, the constitu-
ton forbidding the authorities IN those
states to enter into the contract-
Kansas came to Oklahoma's rescue at
that time and took her prisoners and has
since received them. They are kept un-
der a contract made by the state insti-
tuition with the territorial officials
Oklahoma has no place that she could
use even temporarily for her convicts,
her legislature does not meet until Jan
uary. 1903. and it may be necessary for
Governor jenkins TO cali e special session
Of the present legislature to provide for
the location and construction Of ter
ritorial penitentiary. if this should be
done the whole matter Of the location Of
all the territorial institutions would
come up and an exciting and memorable
period would ensue.

SITUATION is EXPLAINED
Secretary of Board of Medical Exam
iners Is interviewed.


Oklahoma city, 0. T., July 3.-The
Times-Journal gives an explanation OF
the medical row as follows:
There has been considerable comment
in regard to the appointment Of a terri
toriaI board of medical examiners, who
receive a fee of $50 for each applicant
that they examine. DR.. Grant CuIlimore
of this city was made the secretary OF
this board and that the duties of the
board might be thoroughly understood he
was interviewed this morning. He said:
This loaI1 is not the same as the board
of health of the territory, which issues
licenses to practice to all physicians in
the territory, but 1t is a board appointed
by the board of health to examine those
who apply for license who are not 9TH
erwise authorized TO practice. That is,
all persons who have diplomas from rec
ognized schools who present their diplo-
mas to the secretary Of the board of
health can be licensed without recourse
TO our board There are a number OF ap-
plicants to practice who have no diplomas
and are not qualified. These are the ones
that our board viii examine. and they
VIII have to pay a fee of $50, and in order
to secure this fee our board has to have
a meeting, at which all are present to
examine the applicant in all branches Of
the profession. This viii take more time
than the fee is worth. but it is safe
guard to the health of the territory and
as physicians we are glad TO do the work
to improve the morals Of the profession
and to have only those who are qualified
for practicing in the territory. We only
examine those not otherwise qualified
and only examine with full board"

Open With an Ak
FEARED MANS EVIDENCE
Was Implicated in the Murder
of His Brother

Shawnee, o. T., July 23.-Leonard H.
Trainer. one of the Erickston rough ri
ders who arrived in Shawnee for the pur-
pose Of giving a roping contest, met with
what viii probably prove his death at the
hands Of scotie Brown, a negro Of the
desperate order, in a Broadway sporting
house. and now lies semi-conscious at the
Holmes house, where he was taken after
having received the wound. and the gen
eral impression Is that he cannot recover.
The particulars, as we are able to learn
them, are that some time ago the negro
was with a gang Of toughs in the Indian
Territory. and was implicated in the
killing Of Trainers brother; that Leonard
Trainer did not know that Scottie Brown
or any Of his associates at the time OF
the killing of his brother. was in Shaw
nee. But il seems that the negro knew
Trainer, and, probably fearing that he
would be called upon to answer for the
killing in the Indian Territory, planned
the murder OF Leonard Trainer and, slip
ping up behind him while he was in a
STOPPING posture, struck his victim a ter
rife blow on top Of the head with an
ak, which felled him instantly. Believing
that his work Of murder had been accom-
plished only too well, the negro made his
escape from the house and was not cap
tured until Saturday, when officer Ernest
found and arrested him at the house
where ne had felled his victim and took
him to Tecumseh and lodged him in Jail
The negro has a bad reputation and is
considered desperate man. His former
record is not at all good, but shows that
he has been lie associate of desperadoes
and toughs in the Indian Territory prior
to his coming to Shawnee, where he has

Ardmore. I. T., July 23--Word has been
received in this city that the failure OF
