Strange Proceedings
In Case at Muskogee-Force Used
in Collecting a Debt.

Muskogee !. T., Oct. 2I-Reed
Vann, charged with robbery, was
brought up for trial in Judge
Leekley's court yesterday, and the
case was dismissed, bnt the defen
dant was Immediately arraigned on
a charge Of riot.
The circumstances surrounding
this case are a little out of the
ordinary, and is another illustration
of the popularity Of some Of the
laws in force i'll this country.
The robbery with which the
defendant is charged, occurred on
the 24th day of December, 1908,
near Fort Gibson, the facts being
about as follows;
A man named Pete Reynolds
owed Vann a sum of money, and
evidently refused, or was unable to
pay il. On the date above mem
toned Reynolds, accompanied by
another man, came TO Muskogee III
wagon for the purpose of selling
some produce. On their return
they were met by Vann, who cal
led OH them to halt When the
wagon stopped, Vann, it is claimed,
climbed in and pressing long
knife against Reynolds, threatened
to kill him then and there if he
did not pay him. Reynold went
down in his pockets and passed
over every cent he had, whereupon
Vann got out of the wagon and
took to the woods. Reynolds
afterwards swore out a warrant
for Vann's arrest, and he was
brought up for trial yesterday, with
result as above stated.
II appear that law was pro-
duced which gives authority to
man TO forcibly make another pay
him. But Judge Leekley did not
see fit to let the defendent off i'll
that manner, and produced little
law himself, much TO the surprise
of the attorney who defended him,
and to Vann, showing wherein the
defendant i'll a case of this kind is
guilty of roit.
Vann and his attorney held a
CONSULTATION, at the end of which
plea of guilty was entered, and
the commissioner fined the defen-
dant SIS and costs and sentenced
him to thirty days.

to give every man Il free hand in the

KILLED BY A TRAIN
Elmo Smith oil Forreston Meets
Tragic Death at Red Oak.

While returning to his home al
Forreston from Dallas last night
Elmo Smith fell from a passenger
train and was killed. The accident
occurred about fifty yards beyond
the Katy depot at Red Oak, where
the body was found stiff and cold
this morning. Just how the acci-
dent occurred will probably never be
known. The unfortunate man had
been to Dallas to visit his mother
and sister, going up on the excur-
sion train yesterday morning. 1t is
not known which train he had start
ed home on, but IL is believed he
was aboard the Flyer. When the
excursion train reached Red Oak
last night 1t pulled In on a side track
to- permit the northbound passenger
to pass. 1t then backed out on tue

station and stopped. The accident

THE TEXTILE BUILDING
A New Department TO- ne Insti-
tuted at A. and NJ. College.

The building for the teaching Of
Textile Engineering at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College of
Texas is nearly half completed. 1t
Is built of the handsome red brick
made in Corsicana, Texas. 1t is
difficult to ooverestimate the influence
on the industrial life of the state
that will result from the annual
sending out class of young men
trained to organize capital for fac
tory building. to plan and build fac
tories, and with the necessary skill
and experience to handle the practi-
cal details Of the weaving and dye
ing of clothing and sale of products.
Texas would be saved millions of
dollars annually If her cotton and
wool could be woven into cloth with
out first being shipped to New Eng
land, and then returned to us trebIed
in price TO enrich the manufacturer.
To solve this great industrial prob
lem the School of Textile Engineer
ing has been instituted. Texas boys
have the brains and energy; only
the opportunity for skillful training
is denied them. This will now be |
afforded. With skilled operators in |
our own midst, adequate capital will
quickly be forthcoming. We want
home capital, too. The time has
come for us to develop our own re-
sources. Too late we are finding out |
our mistake in sending for help to
develop every good thing we discov-
er. We have acres of diamonds and |
too often our developers take them |
ali away when their work is finished !
One OF these days Texas will be dot |

as capital, operated by Texas skilled |
