TEXAS TRAFFIC STOPPED

Guthrie, o. T., May 27.-With the ex-
ception of the Santa Fe. all railroad com
panies doing business in Oklahoma have
been more or less hampered in the oper-
alton of tlseir trains on account of the
high water Of the past week. The Santa
Fe. on its main Tine in Oklahoma, has
been able TO pun all its trains through
without much variation from the regular
schedule.
The Rock Island has had'much trouble
with its Enid and AnsSdarhlo branch, also
dts branch from ChicIasha to Mangum.
"A report reached here today that the
bridge over the Waashtta river. on the
main line of the Roc Island, near
SChickasha, is out If this is the case, it
will be several days before trains can be
operated; thus entirely Gu ting off Texas
rraffic.
The ChoctaW probably suffered more
ahan any other road. 1t Iestl many thous-
and feet of track at variou 3 places, but
worklnen have been work. ug day and

trains over the Choctaw ortl sern branch
pf the Choctaw on account sOf equip
1nent.
The Frisco southwest from Oklahoma
City 10 Texas, lost a bridge or two and
had serious breaks in the roadi bed. 1t
will be some days before the re pairs can
be made O trains viii be operi lted until
the first part of next week. a report
here states that a portion Of the Frisco's
track. possibly one hundred va rds, had
been washed away between Chan uler and
Oklahoma City. This was laterI denied,
and it is said that trains are eing op-
GRATED over this road.
A temporary bridge over the Cdmarron
river near Cushing, on the Santa Fe's
eastern Oklahoma line, was wash ed out.
With no more rains for a few days, rail-
road traffic will soon be resumod- II is
hard TO estimate the damage done, and it
Will probably take some weeks to get the
lines up to their former condition.

Oklahoma City, Q. T. May 27.-The
track OF the Choctaw. oklahoma & Gulf

than it was last evening. The passenger
department. this morning posted notices
at tn depot to the effect that all trains
were Indefinitely late. Several hundred
feet OF the track We're washed out west
of town again last night and the river is
so high that no effort is being made to
replace it as the regular crews and all
of the extra men that can possibly be

He is alleged to have attempted r-avisb
| two little girls. yelma Sammons. aged
9, and Minnie Matthews. aged L. both
residing at 104 California avenue
According to the story of the little girls.
they went up into the third story of the
Bachelor building, on the southwest cor
ner of Broadway and Grand avenue TO
visit a lady residing there and Smith
pulled them into the room. No. -, and,
seizing ,..e little Samnons- girl. threw her
on the bed. the other little girl ende-s-
oring to give him battle and prevent him
from accomplishing his hemous< purpose.
He next seized the Matthews girls and
drew her TO the bed and accomplished his
designs.
Smith then gave the little girls a quar-
ter. telling them they must not tell any
one about it. He then pulled a pistol
out from under pillow on the bed and
said: If you tell on me. will kill you
He then released the girls.
They were inundated and IT was only
by accident that Mrs. Sammons CHANGED
to hear them talking together about the
matter, and she then compelled them to
tell her all about it.
Yesterday afternoon Maggie Sammons
an elder sister of VeIma, went TO police
headquarters and told the story to As
sistant Chief of Police Shirley Dyer. The
latter Immediately went after Smith and
sent Maggie for the little girls, who con-
fronted Smith when he was brought to
police headquarters. They identified him
positively the little Sammons gin. as
soon as she saw him, saying:
That is the fellow, and when they
Were taken back into the csliers office.
she said to Smith:
you know you hurt me bad
Smith protested his innocence to the
officers and said to the little girls: If
1 did, what caused it?" to.which the Sam
mons child replied. You were the cause
of it,
DR.. Delos Walker was summoned and
made an examination of the little girls,
He reported that the little Sammons child
was fearfully lacerated and that the Of
fender had been successful in his assault
of the Matthews girl.
County Attorney Ramer was next sum
moned to police headquarters and after
hearing the story, had a warrant sworn
out for Smiths arrest on the charge of
rape, and the latter was committed 10
the county Jail to await a preliminary
hearing. the date for which has not yet
been fixed.
Smith has been resident of Oklahoma
City for the past eight years and is well
known. His acquaintances have always
considered him a quiet, good natured fell
low and the last one to commit crime
of such terrible nature, but the author
ities express themselves as satisfied that
the man is guilty. officer Dyer said last
night: Smiths actions and appearance
when 1 went to arrest him were enough
to satisfy me of his guilt"

the following:
''For over twenty-five years I
suffered from catarrh, and for
over ten years I suffered from
catarrh of the stomach terribly.
IL have taken all kinds OF m. cd

all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintances are aware
in different parts of the United
States, where have travelled, but
my relief was only temporary.
until a little over a year ago
started to take Peruna, and az the

have been for twenty years.
1.-The soreness has left my stom-
ach entirely and am free from
indigestion and dyspepsia and
will say TO all who are troubled
with catarrh or stomach trouble
of any kind, don't put it off and
suffer, but begin TO take Peruna
right away, and Keep it up until
yon are cured, as you surely will
be il you persevere.
My wife as many in the southwest
can say. Was troubled with a bad cough
and bronchial troubles. and doctors all
over the country gave her up to die. as
they could do nothing more for her.
She began taking Peruna with the result
that she is better now than she has been
in years. and her cough has almost left
her entirely. The soreness has left her
lungs and she is as well as she ever was
in her life with thanks. as she says, TO
Peruna. Yours very truly.

Waters Are Falling.

Oklahoma City, o. T., May 2Z.-The en-
gineer at the waterworks pump station
stated this afternoon over the phone that
the river had begun to fall. which is an
excellent Indication that the highest point
has been reached. If the fall continues
the last of the week Will see the ending
of the overaowed lowlands.
The Katy roadbed in the vicinity Of
Reno street has sustained great dam
age as a result Of the flood. The road
bed has been washed out in several places
and the indications are that more track
will be swept away. At the second bridge
over the Canadian river the water has
cut across north of the bridge and Some
of the wise ones are inclined to the belief
that the river win change its couorse at
that point.
II. c. Rouse. president. and A: \. Allen,
vice president, of the NJ, K. and T rail-
way, were to have inspected the NJ, X.

prevented from reaching the city by the

headquarters that the party would reach
this city on The 2sth.
There was no session Of the district
court yesterday or account of the high
waters. All of the members of the jury
went home to spend Sunday and since the
water came up they cannot get to town.
There are several unfinished cases and
in each of them one or more of the jurors
are absent.

THE CHINESE THEATRES

There is still something doing in the
matter of the trouble between the two
rival Chinese theatres although there
was no active trouble last night at the
rew building on Hotel street
ILappears that the three actors over
al the old theatre have behind them a
Chinese fnancier OF no small ability.
He is All In, and all who know him
state that he will make fight to the
bitter end, His object is to shut up
the rival house II 1t is within the
bounds OF possibility to do so.
Yesterday afternoon an emissary
waited upon the head actor in the new
theatre and made him an offer Of $500
srot cash for three months service II
he would leave the new theatre and ~
over to Liliha street No answer was
given to the proposition at the time and
II Is thought that the actor will stay
with the manager OF the new place
since he was the one who taught him
ell he knows OF the Chinese stage. The
fellow is woman imparsonator and
" alleged by all The Chinese who have
seen him perform TO be possessed or
