COMPLETE A PIPE LINE.
Bolton District Oil Wells Connected
With Refinery at Neodesha-

Independence, Sept. 23.-The big stand
ard pipe line to convey oil to its refine
ry at Neodesha has been completed to
the Indian Territory line and several of
the largest oil wells have already been
connected. All these wells are in the
Bolton district southwest of town. but
the line will be extended on west to the
Peru field as fast as possible. Its ex-
tension into the Indian Territory to con-
meet with the Bartlesville field is being
delayed on account of the secretary of
the interior refusing to grant right OF
way across the Cherokee country, in
sisting that this should be secured from
the allottees when the land is taken up
by the Indians. 1t is thought, however,
that this can be arranged so as to re-
lieve the operators in the Bartlesvilie
field who have a large amount of oil on
hand with no means of marketing 1t
except by railroad, which is very expen-
sive.
The matter is being laid before the Of
ficials of the government and some re-
lief is anticipated. A serious mishap oc-
CURED in starting the flow of oil through
the big line yesterday. A defective
coupling broke on account of the high
pressure and the oil flowed over near
by field before it could be stopped at
the other end. Small lines are being run
to all the producing wells.

tertiary at Fort Leavenworth. The two
other counts were nollied upon motion
of the United States attorney.
Howard was arrested soon after the
crime was committed. but escaped from
the Dodge City jail, and went to Mich
igan, where he was sent to the peniten-
tiary for larceny. AS soon as his term
expired he was rearrested on the Kan
sas charge. In Wichita a week ago he
declared to the court that his was a
case of mistaken identity. and that he
was not the man wanted for the Kansas
robbery.

WANT TO CLOSE SALOONS.
Temperance People at Independence
Enioin Jointkeepers.

Independence, Sept. 23.-A new method
has been adopted to close up the joints
of this place that have been running
openly for some time.
An injunction has been secured at the
instance of o. P. Smart, of this place,
for the temperance people njoining joints
from doing business. The attorney for
the temperance people is p. c. Young,
of Fredonia, who succeeded in closing
the joint of Wilson county and insists
that he can do the same in this city.
The jointists at first ignored the order
of the court, but they finally decided to
close up. especially when the owners of
the buildings found out that they would
be responsible for allowing joints to run
in their buildings. This method has
never been tried here before and the re-
suit will be watched with interest.
