FEARED FOUL PLAY.
One Editor Thinks the Death Not an
Accident.

Accident.
Guthrie. o. T., Nov. 3--Lest week a
young man by the name of Bradford
was found in a dying condition under a
trestle on the X c b. railroad, near
Spiro, !. T., 1t was believed he had fall
len from the train and received his in
juries but the Pcteau News takes diff
ferent view of the tragedy. and says
1t was indeed sad going home to
Mrs. Bradford. when she took the de-
mains Of her boy home from here last
week. il was the old, old story of an
almost destitute family. a brother and
son going in The world seeking employ
ment in order TO drive the wolf from
the door of his mother. brothers and
sisters. There is a mystery connected
with his death which Will never be
brought to light The theory is ad-
vanced by some that he was knocked
from the train by a brakeman as the
prints of shoe nails were plainly visible
on his hands and this causes some TO
think that in order To make him get off
the train the brakeman stepped on his
hands as he was hanging on the ladder
OF box car.
Anyway, there were evidences of foul
play. and were it possible the man that
committed the deed should be punished.

WHEAT ACREAGE LARGE.
Col. Prouty Thinks II Will Exceed All
Records.

Guthrie, o. T, Nov. 3.-Colonel c. T.
Prouty of Kingfisher. territorial grain
inspector, was in this city today. He
has made tour of the territory and
says that if the area now contemplated
being put in wheat is seeded. the acre
age will largely exceed that of any for
mer year.
Seeding will be late this year said
Colonel Prouty, owing to unfavorahle
conditions existing in the early fall.
Flowing was retarded by drouth. but all
this is now changed and the ground is
in the finest possible condition. The
area now in wheat is large that of
any former year and the work is going
on at rapid rate.
There is plenty of time for sowing yet,
and late sown wheat is as apt to be
as good as that planted earlier Wheat
that is up is making a rapid growth. and
much of it will have to be pastured. All
indications point to next year as being
{. record breaker for this cereal in the
territory"
