Tom Slaughters, negro porter of the
Morrill, hotel, had little misunder-
standing at the Santa Fe depot,
Tuesday afternoon. During the
trouble Slocum pulled gun and took
shot at close range at the porter

arm, passing through the arm and
lodging just under the skin on the
other side.
During the excitement over the
shooting, Slocum walked away and up

The Bio Cement Plant.

The chef promoters Of the big
cement plant west Of the city were
here the fore part of the week and
made some final arrangements about
the site. Everything seems TO have
been arranged satisfactorily and the
formal transfer of the property was
made.
The company has bought out right
1865 acres of ground and secured gas
leases on 5000 more. This is very
strong company backed up by album
dance of capital and claims it will put
in the largest plant in the state.
They have secured in their site all
the elements in abundance necessary
for successful plant. They will
expend large amount of money IN
buildings and machinery, and will
employ several hundred men when
ready for work. Though this factory
is some distance out, the headquarters
will be in Chanute and will soon te
connected by rail with the city.
A few more such institutions as this
located in or near the city and we
surely Will hear no more OF the talk
of an early stagnation of growth in
the city.
We understand DR.. W. E. Barker is
the local man who directed his efforts
to securing this plant and to him
belongs the credit. Wesley Merritt,
Santa Fe Industrial commissioner,
took hold Of the matter and used his
best endeavors to get this great con-
Germ located,
This is only one Of the many manu-
featuring industries we expect to see
located here during the present year.
We are only beginning to be known as
gas town as well as an oil town.
