surrounding territory and the state at
large. Nj Wood is here at the in
stance Of Presid mt Cargil of the Saw
yer and Austin Lumber company. His
buiness here is to prepare abstracts of
title to property of the Sawyer and
Austin Lumber company between
Sheridan and Benton. His work is
preliminary to the extension Of the
Pine Bluff ana Western railway from
Sheridan to Benton. The line has not
yet reached Sheridan but contracts
have been let for finishing the line to
that point.
AS soon as it is reached bonds will
probably be fioated and the line will
be extended to Benton to connect
With the trunk lines.
There have been many rumOrs re-
$3rding the extension of the Pine
Bluff and Western line to Benton since
the line was built to Doyletown, but
nothing has ever been given out here
tofore concerning the certainty of the
elimination of the plan.
MI Wood has been associated with
Mr.. Cargill in many of the latter's
big enterprises and was commissioned
by Mr. Cargill to do the preliminary
work of collecting abstracts for the
extension of the Pine Bluff and West
ern on account of his familiarity with
Mr.. Cargill's ideas.
Mr.. Wood leaves the city tonight, but
is expected to return again soon.

OLD, OLD STORY.
Veteran Who Sells His Claim
for $3.50
Met a confidence Man at
Ell Reno Going His Route.
HAD TO PAY FREIGHT.
Body Of a Dead Friend in
Charge Must Be Looked After.
Had Check Which the Old Sol
der Helped to Cash.

FL Reno, Dec. 20.-Enoch Adkins, an
old soldier who had sold his claim 20
miles west of LawtOn and started for his
old home at Magnet, Neb-, was robbed
of $3.50 at the depot here Friday. Some
fellow engaged him in converse ton on
the train from Lawton to Ell Reno,
where they stopped over night, and
While en- route introduced him to Judge
somebody of Nebraska, who Adkins had
never seen but knew by reputation. This
fellow told Adkins he had three carloads
of freight and the body of a dead friend
that he was taking back to Nebraska.
The next morning the Judge met Ad-
kins at the depot to take the train north.
He had a check for $1.250 and could not
get it cashed. A man supposed to be
connected with the railroad company
appeared and informed the judge that
he must pay the freight or he wouldn' I
ship the goods. The judge asked Ad-
kins to hold the check and let him have
money to pay the freight. Adkins gave
him the roll of bills, containing $3.50, and
the judge handed it back to him, telling
him that maybe he could get along with
out it. When Adkins got out of Okla
hOma he took a peep al his money and
found instead nothing but a pair of kid
gloves made in a roll and wrapped i'll
the same kind of paper. Now he has no
spent over a year on his claim, enduring
hardShipS and want.
The banker advised him to get a
draft. but he said he wanted to use the
is q regular organized gang of that class
of robbers operating in Ell Reno, Law
ton and Oklahoma City. The authori-
ties have as yet failed to catch any OF
them.
Only a few days ago another victim
had the same complaint to make to the
as Adkins.
