THEIR TRADE
WAS INJURED
Ice Cream Dealers Object &c
Raise in Rates.
BY EXPRESS COMPANIES
Rate Has Been Materially Re-
duCed in Last Few Days.

On July I, an order was received IN TINS
city from the headquarters Of the Ex-
press companies making the rate on ice
cream shipped from this city almost
double what they were for the past sew
eraI years. In some instances the rates
were double and it looked as if the ice
cream trade OF the two big factories
would be entirely lost. When the rate
went into effect the dealers in Southern
Kansas and Oklahoma began writing TO
the manufacturers saying that unless a
lower rate could be secured they would
have to stop buying the cream from this
city.
The dealers and manufacturers have
been enjoying a very favorable rate on
ice cream and a business aggregating
5000 gallons of Ice cream q day was built
Up. The above amount was shipped out
of this city every day and before holidays
and on Saturday the amount is almost
doubled. This trade was built up only
by very favorable express rates being
given the dealers. BY July ! it looked as
if all of this trade would be lost owing
to the action of the Express companies.
Orders grew less IN amount and number
until nearly half the trade was lost
within a week. Then the manufacturers
began working with the agents and with
the traffic managers and now there is a
very good prospect for the trade to be
regained The rate has not been restored
by any means, but it has been reduced
materially. Where the old rate was fif-
teen cents per gallon, it was raised 10
thirty cents on July ], and has now been
reduced to eighteen cents. 1t was only on
shipments of less than 100 miles that the
raise was the most destructive TO the
manufacturing interests. on the long
hauls the rate remained about the same,
but on short distances the rate was
doubled and in some cases tripled.
The ice cream factories of Steffen and
Bretch and Bissantz furnish cream to
every point south of this city and to
many points in Texas. The big concerns
can manufacture the cream and the
dealers can pay the express charges and
sell the cream and receive a larger profit
than if they made it themselves. The
factories make it by the hundred gallons
and buying the ingredients in large guam
titles they can manufacture it cheaper
than the small dealers, and thus the trade
vas built up.

Favor Flynn Bill.
BY ARKANSAS COMPARISON

Washington Nov. Ex-senator Bailey Of
Texas has gone to New York to have his
throat treated. Before leaving here he
said: = am determined to oppose state
hood for Oklahoma unless some really
reliable Democratic state shall come into
the Union at the same time. 1 am not
alone in this position. The Democratic
party as a while has been hoodwinked
TOO often by Republican disingenous-
ness, and we are not going to give away
all of our rights to state representa-
ton in the senate. The senate is all that
is now left Of state sovereignty
Senator Scott of West Virginia says:
81 am not sure that Oklahoma viii be a
Republican state. On the contrary, I be-
lieve that after statehood shall have
been accomplished Oklahoma will be one
OF the states 10 be classed in the doubt
ful column. Nevertheless, I shall advo-
cate the admission Of the territory on the
broad ground that she has the popula-
ton, wealth and prospects to warrant
statehood. Partisanship in such a mat
ter is narrow and pessimistic."
Senator Daniel Of Virginia, and Sena-
tor Jones Of Arkansas, both staunch
Democrats, advocate statehood. Senator
Jones says: Oklahoma is as good
state today as some Of those now in the
Union, and better than several. Oklaho-
ma has all the conditions Of statehood
today except the act of congress declar-
ing statehood. Nobody loves Arkansas
better than I do. Nobody has greater
confidence in the future of Arkansas than
I have; and yet. I am willing to ad-
nit that Oklahoma stands as well today
as Arkansas does. and that her prospects
are fully as bright"
That is a kid End neighborly thing to
gay; and Oklahoma people viii undoubt-
edly thank Senaror Jones for his kind
words.
The interview with Senator Allison,
which was telegraphed, on Monday even
ing has been supplemented by another
interview published in a local paper here,
in which the great iowa statesman de
clares emphatcally in favor Of separate
consideration of the Oklahoma bill. He
said:
Il am inclined to the belief that the
president desires separate consideration
Of the bill If that is the case, action
IS rot likely to be delayed FOR any con

SHOOTING AFFRAY AT LAWSON
DR.. Senft was Shot Through Body
NV mr. Van Nicer

Guthrie. o. T, Nov &-The Pawnee
Times Democrat has the following ac-
count of fatal shooting near Lawson,
Oklahoma:
A probably fatal shooting ARRAY oc-
CURED at the home of Or. E. /. Senft,
four miles east Of Lawson, about noon
on Sunday last Dr. Senft was shot
through the body by DR.. Van Nicer, Of
Lawson. The wounded man was barely
alive Tuesday and the physicians who
are attending him say he cannot recover.
DR.. Van Nicer and his son. Virdie Van
Nicer, were arrested shortly after the
shooting and are now confined in the
county Jail here.
Several different stories are afloat re-
garding the immediate cause of the shoot
ing and the true facts will probably not
be learned until the preliminary trial is
held. DR.. Van Nicer. who is alleged TO
have done the shooting. came 10 this
county from Kansas only few months
ago. He resided for a time with family
who are tenants of DR.. Senft. While he
was there Van Nicer had some trouble
with a son of Senfts and. it is said. as
saulted him. Soon afterward Van Nicer
rnoed to Lawson where he has since
made his home. From the best informa-
ton obtainable it seems that Van Nicer
mas been hauling timber from Senfts
farm. the timber having been on tract
that the Katy railroad had agreed 10
purchase as a right of way. Van Nicer
claimed he had authority from the rail
road company to secure the timber, but
Senft denied this right and the men had
some trouble. it is said. Ger this matter
con Sunday DR. Van Nicer and his son.
Tirole. were driving in the neighborhood
of DR.. Senfts land and adjoining hi
house. DR.. Senft went out of the house
so the report is. and ordered Van Nicer
and his son off of the place. The men
had exchanged only few words when
Van Nicer drew a revolver and shot Senft-
The bullet entered just below Senft's
right collar bone. passed through his
body and was afterwards extracted just
at the point of his left shoulder blade.
His right lung was penetrated by the
bullet. and possibly the left lung also.
His condition has been cry critical ever
since.
DR.. Van Meer's friends claim that he
shot in self defense. and this plea will
probably be advanced in his behalf.
