FOUR KILLED.
Train PIunges Through a Trestle
in Indian Territory with
Awful Results.

Ardmore, L. r., May pa con-
struction train on the Choctaw, Okla
homa & Gulf railway plunged through
a high trestle IL miles east of Ard
more Sunday morning. Four men
were killed and 81 injured, seven OF
the latter fatally. Among those be-
lieved to be fatally hurt is A. M. Oil
plant, a prominent attorney of fish
omingo, who was riding home on the
work train. The railroad officials are
unable to assign a reason for the
wreck. The train was running at the
rate of eight miles an hour when
the forward car jumped the track,
followed by the rest of the train,
a dozen cars piling up in a heap 80
feet below. The engine remained on
the track. The dead and injured
were brought to this city and placed
in the hospital, where they were at
tended by local physicians and others
who were sent there on a special
train from McAlester. The relatives
of the dead and those of most of the
injured have been notified.

COLLEGE TENNIS.
State University Takes Honors
in Tournament.

The state college tennis tournament
was held here Thursday afternoon at
the Penn athletic grounds and some
exceptionally fine playing was wit
messed. The crowd was small owing
to the bad weather, but the game
went on in spite of the rain and most
of the finals YER completed.
The preliminaries were played in
the morning, two sets Of doubles and
one set of singles being finished.
Five colleges we're represented In
the meet: s. U. l., State Normal,
Ames, Cornell and Penn, The first
set of singles was played between
White, of Penn, and Seerley, of the
State Normal, Seerley winning after
a hard fight by a score of "a and 6-3.
In the doubles Penn W, 8 represented
by White and Roberts, against Seer
ley and Christy, of the State Normal,
the score resulting in two sets, 81
and 6-2, for the Normal.
The second set of doubles was be-
tween Holbrook and Teller, of Amesr
and the Bailey brothers of Iowa City,
and was one of the most interesting
seen on the Penn grounds for some
time. The score was close and the
playing was excellent, both teams
playing a fine game. The result was
ga and "a in favor of the team from
Iowa City.
In the afternoon Seerley, of State
Normal, played of the singles with
Holbrook, of Ames, in two close sets.
of 81 and , 5. Bailey, of s. U. L.,
won two sets from Ferris, of Cornell,
with a score of 8 l and SO. The finals
in the doubles were played between
the Baby brothers, OF s. U. l., and
Seerley and Teller, of the Normal.
The Bailey brothers had everything
in their wi hands from start to An
ish and the Normal team could do
nothing with their balls. They came
hard and swift in every part of the
court and neither one of the opposing
players could return them. Three
sets were played, the Bailey brothers
winning all three with an easy score
of 6 0 in each.
Owing to the rain the playing was
considerably hiudsred and some Of
the single matches and the try-out
for second place in the doubles were
left over until some future time.

NO REST FOR B. & W.
Latest Is 1t Will Build From
Burlington to Mediapolis.

Burlington, May 21.-In all of the
plans for the widening OF the B.& w.
nothing has been done toward secur-
ing an independent track between
this city and Mediapolis.
1t has been announced that for the
FIRST, the standard gauge trains of the
b. & W. would be run over the track
of the B., O. R. & N, but that the b.
& W. would in a short time have its
own tracks to that city. Now comes
the announcement that the new line
to Mediapolis will be built through an
entirely new section of the country.
According to the new plans the old
route will be abandoned and the new
road will III to Mediapolis by the
way of West Burlington. From West
Burlington the road will run to Dodge
vile and thence either to Mediapolis
or Roscoe.
1t is known that representatives of
the railroad company have been over
the ground of the proposed new route
and while surveys have not been
made public, it is generally known in
Burlington route circles that the
change will be made.
With the carrying out of the plan
for another main line, and the Rock
Island in control of the B., @. R an
all agreements. betweeifShat road and
the Burlington would be declared off,
and the Burlington has probably
adopted this method of securing an
independent railroad along the line,
and at the same time tap the richest
portion of Des Moines county. The
proposed route would be an import
link in the proposed new st. Louis-
st. Paul line, and as proposed will
represent a great saving to the com
pany each year, in the matter of main
tanning the road.
The getting of a right.of-way will
be an easy matter, as all of the farm
ers along the line will be anxious to
get a railroad,

RETURN TO QUEBEC

by Habeas Corpus.

Montreal. Que, May 20.-Col. Gay

/, at this time the two men are in the

United States government can be sue
cessfully fought. Monday night at
ten o'clock a special train on the Ca
madam Pacific arrived from Quebec
with High Constable Gale and assist
ants on board, armed with a writ of
habeas corpus. They got into a cab
and drove to the Montreal Jail, to
which institution Gaynor and Greene
had been committed by Judge La
Fontaine during the afternoon.
Taken to Quebec.
The stay of the high constable in
the Jail was of very short duration.
Evidently Gov. Valee and his guests
awaited their coming. for in a short
time Gale reappeared, accompanied
by Gov. Vallee and Messrs. Gaynor
and Greene, A quick drive was made
to the Place yiger station, and an
hour after the arrival of the spe-
cial train it departed with the much
sought fugitives from the American
courts on board. Half an hour later

Mr.. MacMaster will use all his efforts

prisoners to the Montreal Jail. The
question as to whether he shall do
so or not depends entirely upon the
legality of the arrest. The Ease will
come up in Quebec to-day.
clever Move.
There was a warm argument in the
extradition court before Judge la
Fontaine when the Gaynor-Greene
case was Called. 1t began when the
counsel for the accused complained
that on Sunday they were unable
to secure access to their clients. who
were being confined in a private pris-
on at the Windsor hotel. They there
fore demanded that Gaynor and
Greene be committed to the Montreal
Jail, in charge of Gov. Vallee, SO
that they could secure access to
them. Mr.. MacMaster, for the United
States government, at first raised no
objection, but a few minutes later
he learned that two writs of habeas
corpus had been sworn out, and that
one of these was addressed to Gov.
Vallee. Once in the Montreal iail
the writ would he served upon the
and he would have no
choice but to obey its call and take
Gaynor and Greene down to Quebec.
Mr.. MacMaster entered a vigorous
protest against the proceedings.
LaFontaine took the matter
under a~dyisement, and later decided
that as the prisoners reals should
be in Jail and desired to go there, he
had no alternative hut to commit
them. The prisoners were then taken
and committed to the care of Gov.
Vallee, under formal remand until
next.
