CAPITAL STOCK OF $50,000
Prominent Men Are Connected With the lnstitution-Export Coal G Railway Company Increases It's Capital

A declaration of incorporation was filed yesterday in the Probate Court for the Bir- mingham District Savings Bank. The in- corporators are Messrs. w. J. Dangaix, J. A. VanHoose, N. D. Barker, B. F.

Clever Capture of Fugitive.

Clever Capture of Fugitive.
A good capture has been effected in
this city by Sheriff Goodfellow. of Cole
man county. Texas.
About a year ago Bill Taylor, an al
legged noted desperate and train rob-
Der. broke Jail in that county.
Clay Mann and Noey Wilkinson es-
capped at the same time. Acting on in
formation received in a roundabout
way, Sheriff Goodfellow came to this
city and negotiated for the surrender
of Mann, who was in Mexico
Mann had grown weary of being a
fugitive from justice and after some
persuasion crossed the border and gave
himself up to Sheriff Goodfellow, who
will cave with him for Coleman coun-
w on the first train.
Sheriff Goodfellow deserves great
credit for the capture as it required
considerable skill on his part to locate
the fugitive and induce him to come to
terms. Peace officers regard the cap
ture as one of the cleverest pieces of
work of its kind done in southwest
Texas for long time.

lola Picnic in California

On the 4th of July in South Pasa-
dena. California, was held picnic
which was called an lola picnic. 1t
was a gathering of all the folks now
living in Southern California near
Los Angeles who formerly lived in
lola and the crowd was surprisingly
large. Tom Bowlus and VIII Brews-
ter of this place reached there just in
time to attend and they were given Il
handshake and a hearty greeting that
was a forcible reminder of home.
Among the wanderers present were
j. l.. Arnold and family MIR. andMrs,
NJ. c. Hayes, II. a. Perkins, wife and
daughters, Joe Hogueland and family,
c. NJ. Simpson and wife, j. j. Cas-
mire and wife, Capt. Sawyer and
daughter Mrs. George Lawyer, Mr.
and Mrs. Boyd, Chas. Cline, Mr..
Nicholai and family and Mr.. Hauser
and family.
In fact it was "A full grown picnic
ana the regular Kansas idea of "a
plenty" was spread to eat. After the
refreshments Capt, Simpson made a
short talk. He remembered that the
crowd was composed of Americans,
and everybody swelled up. He re-
called that they all dwell in sunny
California and are prospecting and
they swelled up some more. Then he
reminded them of their former home
and buttons flew in every direction.
Everyone seemed full of happy MEM
cries of the days when they lived here
and inquired for old friends, All hope
TO come back for "a visit and take deep
interest in the welfare of the town and
are proud of its growth and pros

TROLLEY TO HUMBOLDT
The Enterprising Citizens of That
Town Want Rapid Transit Ex-
tended to Them.

Mr.. Geo. a. Amos and Mr.. Chas.
Schaffner, representing the business
interests of Humboldt. were in lola
recently as committee to call on
Mr.. +. V. Crouch, of the Electric
Railroad company and urge him to
consider the proposition of extending
his railway to Humboldt. The ground
was gone over thoroughly, and Us II
! result of the interview survey of the
proposed route will doubtless be made
soon. 1t is not likely that the road
will be built this season, for the man
ager will have his hands full to finish
the work already begun before cold
weather sets in. But the fact that the
people of Humboldt initiated the
movement to have the road extended
to them shows that they feel the need
of better transportation facilities to
and from the county seat and recog-
nize the advantage which they would
gain by the extention of the trolley
line.
The REGISTER remarked editoriolly
few days ago that the time was com
ing when trolley lines would be nearly
as common in Kansas as telephone
lines now are. The movement to take
the lola road to Humboldt is "a step
in the direction of the fuliilment of
that prophecy. The road may not be
built next summer,l)r even the summer
after that. But before five years the
lola Electric railroad will extend not
only to Humboldt but to Chanute and
to Moran, and the farmers who live
within reach of the line will wonder
how they ever got along without it.
