W. O. Conelt has been on trial for the
deed. III the Cowley county district court,
al Winfield he has been in court at
least three times on the charge. The
last trial resulted in a hung jury. There
is believed to he a large reward offered
BY the governor of Kansas for The cap
ture Of Colby
There has been an organized gang of
horse thieves operating in the territory,
and Colby is thought to be one Of the
leading spirits of the organization, says
the Dispatch. Their plan Of operation
was to get bunch Of horses together
from different portions Of the territory
and ship them out before arrests could
be made or the workings Of the law set
in motion. When Colby suddenly fell into
til clutches Of the law be had a number
of horses in his possession The band was

quantity of badges printed. First L. S.

tributed them among the crowd waiting
at the depot to receive the Lawton Post
When those badges were brought out
everybody, or nearly everybody. was af-

When Mr. Flynn aiighted from the train

there was all that could possibly be eS

admiration displayed could not but BE-
very keenly felt by the ex-delegate TO

Although Mr. Flynn's visit was pure

but in a very critical condition, and her
recovery is doubtful. When the wouid-oe

attempted to assault a Mrs. Atwood. In
this he was unsuccessful.
From the scenes of these crimes the
man was traced 10 where thes horse was

MAN WITHOUT A HOME.
Horrible Experience of Tom Grant in
PaWnee County.

Guthrie. o. T., June 6.-The Pawnee
Times-Democrat gives this extraordinary
experience of a storm sufferer in Pawnee
county:
1t seems that one night last week, in
returning home from town. Tom Grant
found the foot-log across Black Bear had
been washed away. But man like Tom
don't mind things Ike that. He promptly
removed his trousers and unmentionables,
and tucking them and his flowing robes
under his arm, waded across. Smooth as
he is. quite a good deal of mud adhered
to him. and as distance and darkness
We're favorable. he went Immediately
home without arranging his toilet, and
without taking into consideration that
even his dog wouldn't recognize him.
The four-footed defender of Toms
home promptly made good" and before
time was called on the first round Tom
was on top of a shed, sans almost every
thing in the way of clothing. Just then
his wife appeared, but Toms teeth
wouldn't stay together or apart long
enough or him 20 identify himself. and
his wife locked the door on the supposed
Indian without so much as wondering
whether he would be cold cold in such
fine array.
Diplomats rarely tell how great prob
lens are solved. and Tom says little or
nothing as to how he established his
home relations; but it is said he viii pay

KATY" TO PARALLEL cHocTAw.
East and West Line in Oklahoma Is
Planned.

Guthrie O. r, June 6.-The Katy is
now arranging for an extension that will
practically mean an east and west line
as a competitor of the Choctaw or Rock
Island. This will be an extension of the
Archibald branch west from South Nc
Alester following the Canadian river
from point on The Oklahoma City-Coal
gate lire near Ada. Here the new line
viii cross the river on the same bridge
that will accommodate the Coalgate eX-
tension and proceed into Shawnee and
Oklahoma city This Archibald branch is
q three mile spur which connects a num-
Der Of coal mines with the main line at
South McAlester. It's extension will be
almost an air line into Shawnee and
Oklahoma City and along n fertile valley
that VIII yield enormous crops when it
is allotted and titled.
At present the Katy has a large force
OF men and teams at work on the eX-
tension of the Krebs branch east from
South AIcAlester TO Hot Springs. They
have been at wor kabout three weeks
and ere now about nineteen miles east
of South AIcAIester. With the extension
of this Inc into Hot Springs and the
Archibald branch into Oklahoma, the
Katy thus gains what she has not at
present. an east and west line through
the middle west 1t is believed that Okla

of the Katy operations in the territories
for many years. With such cities as
Shawnee and South McAlester. with their
north and south connections. feeding this
new line through the territories and
Arkansas. the Katy will be formidable
rival of the Choctaw.

Some Action

Guthrie. o. T, June 6-School land
lessees OF oklahoma. according to state

under discussion by the school land board
that OF leasing all lands BY competitive

during the past few weeks and a num-
Der OF lessees have made strenuous pro-
tests against such plan. Whether the
