A Thousand Dollars Thrown AWAY

A Thousand Dollars Thrown Away.
Mr.. w. W.Bsker, of Plsinview, Neb.,
writes: "My wife had lung trouble for
over fifteen years We tried a number
of doctors and spent over a thousand
dollars without any reliof. She was
very low and lost all hope, when
friend suggested trying Foley's Honey
and Tar, which l did; and thanks be to
this great remedy, 1t saved her life.
She is stronger and enjoys better health
than she has ever known in ten years.
We shall never be without Foley's
Honey and Tar and would ask those af.
tlicted to try it." Sold by Denton &

e0vENOR ASKS
ROBERTS TO ACT
Numerous Death of Linemen
Have Been Recorded
WHERE is THE BLAME?
Looks as If There Had Been
Negligence Somewhere.

Guthrie. o. T., Oct. H.-Governor Fer
guson today called Attorney General
Roberts attention to the numerous
deaths of linemen employed by telephone
and light companies by contact with live
electric light wires, requesting him to
ascertain if such deaths are the result
of criminal negligence on the part of
various light companies
In speaking of the matter, the COVER
nor said: These deaths have been so
numerous recently that / have thought
il best to call the attention of the At
torney General to this matter. 1t it is
necessary it can be made a territorial
affair and the investigation conducted ac-
cordingly. l am aware of the fact that
accidents may happen in this kind of
work, but deaths haye been so numerous
! that L am inclined to think that negli-
gence has had something to do with
them
If this matter is taken up by the at
torney general and investigated fully. as
it is believed il will be done, the out
come will be closely watched by those in
terested in light companies and others
who are interested in litigation against
companies for damages for deaths al
ready sustained from live wires.

garding the fact that Mr.. Sanders killed
several horses in Kingfsher county for
glanders, will say that he never killed a
horse for me and fruther that he never
discovered a glandered horse in Kingfish-

to a negro in Blaine county. This horse

Open Season for Shipping Cattle Is at
End This Month.

Guthrie, o. T.. oct. 1L-Secretary
Thomas Norris of the Oklahoma Live
stock Sanitary Commission announced to-
day that the open season" for the ship
ment of southern cattle into Oklahoma
after inspection. will begin November l.
continuing until January ], 1904
Owing to the fact that the inspectors
have been kept busy on other work. the
investigation of Noble. Logan and OKLA
homa counties for the purpose of deter
mining whether or not the federal line
shall be changed is progressing slowly.
Noble county has been inspected. and It
is probable that Oklahoma and Logan
will be examined before the open sea-
SON. begins. Thus far. it looks very
favorable for the changing of the federal
line.

POND CREEKS
COSTLY FIRE
Breaks Out in Barber Shop and
Spreads.
FIRE DEPARTMENT ABLE
Loss to Stocks and Buildings
Nearly $4,000.

Pond Creek. o. T.. Oct. 14-Mondav
night about 1O:45. fire was discovered in
John Bach's barber shop, saws the VI
dette.
Almost before the alarm was well
| sounded host cart was on the scene
and in very short time a stream o,
/ water was playing on the flames which
I had gained such a headway that il Al
/ irst looked as though the adjoining build
/ ings occupied by Tom Peacock and eco.
/ Marquis would surely be DESTROYED. Soon
another cart reached the rear end of
/ the building and with the aid of the hook
and ladder and the thw streams OF water
the fire was soon under control and in
Very few minutes completely extin-
guished
How the fire originated is a mystery
as it evidently started in small room
I near the center OF the barber shop where
Mr.. Beach kept his towels and in which
nothing combustibIe was kept. Mr.. eBach
had locked up theNshop only short time
before and had put up the front curtain.
Parties who were at the scene of the
fire tiust say that the curtain was pulled
clear down and that the door was un-
locked. However, nothing definite . is
known and it is hardly thought probable
that it was the work of firebugs
Everything was a total loss except a
few shaving mugs which were only slight
ly damaged
The alarm was turned in by Dick Metz
ger. the night watch, who, while passing
the building saw smoke pouring out of
the transom above the door
The roof of Marquis's Jewelry store
caught but was quickly extinguished
with but a small loss
Tom Peacock's stock of confectionery
goods was badly damaged by water and
smoke and his fruit and candles will be a
total loss.
1t is safe to say that the waterworks
payed for itself twofold in this instance
for with the headway which the fire had
when discovered practically nothing could
have been done with buckets, and several
of Pond Creeks leading business houses
would haveb cen in ruins.
After the hose carts had been put up
and it was thought that the fire was all
out a second alarm was turned in but
with several buckets OF water a small
shop was extinguished
The estimated losses are as follows:
John. Bach. barber stock, 81 500 building,
between $1,O0o and S1500; insurance, $500:
R. f. Peacock. damage to stock about
$50. covered by insurance. Geo. L. Mar
