CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Two Men on Trial for Life for Killing
Ed. Winn.

Lawton, o. T, Apr9 1.-THE case Of
William Smiley and E. NJ. Dixon.
charged with the murder of Ed Winn.
a miner, in the Wichita mountains on
August a. 1902. is on in the district court.
Smiley and Dixon were neighbors and
co-workers in the Wichitas. Their prop
erty consisted chiefly of household goods
and a few mineral claims. The Winn
boys, Ed, the murdered man, and his
brother Frank, the accused say, were
usurping rights on their property to
which they were not entitled.
On August IA the Winns came to Dix
ons place and shooting occurred in
which Ed was killed. Since that time the
accused men have been in Jail either
here or at Guthrie-most Of the time in
Guthrie.
In the court room today Mrs. Smiley.
wife of one of the prisoners, sat closely
watching the proceedings. When the men
were arrested they bore the evidences OF
good health and ruggedness-now they
are thin and pale.

Enid. o. T.. April 1.-THE Enid Eagle
says: Sunday morning a freight train
on the Rock Island pulled into Enid from
the south, with one car enveloped in
flames. The train was a mixed one and
the blazing car contained thirty-two head
of registered Red-Polled coottle. This
car was picked up at Waukomis. the

sparks from the engine when the train
was about two miles out of Enid and so
quickly did the flames spread that moth
ing could be done to save the animals.
The heat was so fierce that not even n
door could be opened. The engineer pulled
into town as fast as possible and the
burning car was quickly switched to the
cinder pit near the round house, where
a large hose was turned on it. All the
cattle were so badly burned, however,
that they died without one being taken
from the car. The frame work of IT,
car was practically ruined, but the
flames were extinguished before it COL
lapsed.
The car was left at the cinder pit all
day Sunday and with its cargo of black
ened carcasses was viewed by many
people.
The loss will foot up several thousand
dollars, the burned cattle being all of q.
high grade and valuable breeding stock,
including cows, calves and one or two
bulls. 1t was pitiful sight as the blaz-
ing car containing the believing animals
was pulled into the yards, but nothing
could be done to save the suffering brutes.
The great mogul engine handled the long
string of cars like playthings and no time
was lost In switching, but the water
could not be reached in time

He has a contract for it and it is now up
to the officials to stand the music.
The governor does not object to rag
time especially, but the main difficulty is
incessant piano playing. Secretary Bill
Grimes says that ANY old kind Of music
suits him, while the attorney general and
other officials prefer going to the theatre
for their music instead of having it wan
dering around in their offices at any hour
in the day. What the outcome of the mat
ter will be is problematical, but it is
likely that the officials will become so ac-
customed to the music in a few weeks
that a removal of the music store would
cause a longing for more music.

QUERY FROM DEWEY.
Road and Bridge Law Terms Not un-
derstood.

Guthrie. o. T., April 1.-THE attorney
generals Office has received request
for an opinion from Dewey county on
the 1901 bridge and road law. The county
attorney holds that inesmuch as the 1913
law repeals the former law, one-half of
the amount received for liquor licenses
unexpended should be turned into the
general fund Of the county treasury. On
the other hand the county commissioners
hold that the money derived under the
old law should be expended as provided
by it. The attorney general will prob
ably hold that the opinion OF the coun-
ty attorney in the matter is correct.

FORTUNE LOST IN ELEPHANT
Fifty Thousand Dollar Animal Dies
on Board ~shiP-Benst Was
Larger Than Jumbo.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The elephant,
lingo, said to have been larger than Jumbo,
died at sea on the steamer Georgia, which
arrived from Liverpool today. The AMI
mails death occurred March IL, and 1t was
buried at sea.
An animal show. bought lingo in London.
The elephant had not Travelled since in
fancy, and from the time Of sailing 1t fretted
and pinned away.
lingo was % years old, twelve feet high.
weighed six tons and was valued at $4,000
For sixty hours preceding its death the
mammoth beast trumpeted without cessa-
ton and twice knocked down it's keeper,
who attempted to pacify 1t. The cries OF
the elephant aroused the leopards and
tigers aboard the ship.
AS the day passed lingo SCENE to grow
weaker and he squirmed in his narrow cage
in an effort to get out. He was chained In
to avoid escape. The fourth day out the
animals condition became such that Law
renee gave him whisky and kept him under
the influence Of whisky for almost three
days. 1t was then that the beast became
more savage than ever and began the
trumpeting.
The entire crew went to Lawrences as
s~istanoo on the eleventh day and Joined
! with him in an effort to pacify lingo. They
all failed. however, and twice the beas'
thrust his trunk through the bars of the
cage and struck the keeper with such force
that he was thrown to the deck.
The other animals Joined In the grea'
noise until about 8 o'clock Of the morninl
OF the 18th. when suddenly Jingo's crle'
ceased.
Lawrence ran to the cage to find the an
imal dead. HIS carcass was examined ant
after 1t was decided it could not be stufe'

ARGUE MERGER CASE

Continued from First Page.)
Northern companies and all subsidiary
companies. When In the history of corpo-
rate organization was there ever a charter
which concentrated vast and unreasonable
power in the hands of so few?
MIR. Beck contended that the boards Of di-
rectors Of the Union Pacific, the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern and Burling-
ton systems had been so grouped that all
interests were represented on each. and all
motive and necessity for competition elm
mated; that in this manner a working com
bination had been effected which controlled
the three transcontiaental systems, other
wise competitive, whose total trackage was
over 80, 900 miles.
Analyses sherman Law.
He analysed the Sherman antitrust law,
and commended that it clearly prohibited
such a combination. He reviewed all the
decisions Of the federal appellate court
which had construed this act, and sum-
married. the doctrine Of the cases.
In conclusion he said:
IL the merger is so beneficial, the en-
phatic protest of the executive officers of
ive states would seem to be unnecessary.
However, these questions are all for the
the government. 1t is possible that the
concentration of property interests, includ-
ing railroad transportation Is an economic
tendency which is as IRRESISTIBLE as gravita-
ton, and that the law itself Will be as inn
potent to stop 1t as. to challenge by legis-
lative enactment the procession of the
stars. This, however. neither the officers of
the law nor the courts charged with the
duty of interpreting and enforcing it can
recognize.
The American people are both eonserva-
tive and practical, and when they recognize
that monopoly is benehcent and competi-
ton is an evil, they will repeal existing
laws and by positive legislation facilitate
and iegalize railway monopoly. Until that
time, which is likely to be the Greek
kalends, the law should be fairly, fully and
ilppartially enforced, for IL is eveTlastingly
true that the imperative need of this coun-
try, both at the hands OF capital and of
! labor, is nob more law, but more obedience
to law. However public spirited the pur-
poses of the defendants IN forming this
marger may have been, and whatever Its
resultant good or evil, 1t Is enough for
present purposes to say that 1t clearly
violates existing law, whose provisions
must be enforced unless government by the
people is to be deemed a delusion.
When he finished Mr.. Young opened In
rebuttal for the Northern Securities com
pany.
He briefly sketched the building OF the
Great Northern and its extension to the
Pacific coast. He explained that at the
beginning 1t was almost impossible for the
road to secure sufficient trade going east
and that a long time was spent in building
up the lumber trade for traffic east from
the coast. Then followed a summarized
history Of transpacifc trade and the en-
largement Of railroad interests.
After he had spoken for half an houl
I court adjourned until tomorrow.
