Holds Out Hope
MISSOURI PACIFIC MAY
BUILD TO GUTHRIE
Col. Bleckley, TraveIingPas
senger Agent. Thinks
Prospects Bright.

Colonel r Bleoiioy os Wichita. irav-
eAns passenger agent for tho Missouri
Pacific, WAS IN the city last night ON
special business IN connection Win his
company Colonel Beci,ley entcrtains
very hattorlng hopes Of the construction
of o line OF the Missouri Pacific from
Peru. kansas. to a connection with tbe
~. Louis, El Reno q Western railroad In
oklahoma
lie was met by several OF Guthrie's
leading citizens and asked ln rocard 10
the present situation and he informed
them while he did not speak authorita-
lively that the line would undoubtedly
be- built lie also said that the Missouri
Pacinc could not well afford to misA-
Guthrie and therefore there are teri
chances 60 one that the capital city will
be the terminal Of the road temporarily
When this line is built IL viii be tho
shortest and most direct road running
from this part Of the southwest into
Kansas City. according TO Colonel Bleck-
leys conclusion This means that much
territory IN Northeastern Oklahoma that
IS now undeveloped win oo brought 10
notice
II is quite likely that this line VIII run
through Pawnee saltwater Perkins
coyie and to thls-city This is the route
that has been suggested by the survey
ors who have gone over the country men,
TONED several times. The Missouri Pace
inc has been making surveys through
Northeastern Oklahoma FOR the past
twelve years and the company certainly
means business this time.
This win bring to Guthrie another good
railroad and first class connection with
Kansas City ana other northern and east
crn points II win bring To Guthrie
traffic and trade now almost impossible
20 secure. In fact &c means the tenth
railroad for the capital city and an en-
hancemont OF the wave OF prosperity that
now exists.
colonel Bleckley left this morning for
Fort Smith where be viii meet other rail-
road men. He IS doing a splendid husi-
ness for the Missouri Pacific Ills PLEASE
ing personality is winner wherever the
colonel goes.

SWEDEN STANDS FIRM
CONDITIONS FOR DISSOLUTION
OF UNION WITH NORWAY
UNALTERABLE.

Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 13.-The
delegates of Norway and Sweden ap-
pointed to discuss the dissolution Of
the union of the two countries will re-
assemble at Karlstad, Sweden, during
the day and as it is declared here that
the Swedish conditions are unalterable
the outcome seems to depend on the
Norwegian acceptance of these condi-
tions. The tone adopted by the Nor
wegian newspapers is very threaten
ing and is considered to be specially
significant coming after Mondays
meeting of the Norwegian delegates.
It is recognized that a breach may
follow the reassembling of the dele
gates and the Swedish authorities are
preparing for such an eventuality.

NELSON DEFEATS JIMMY BRITT
oalifornia's Greatest Little Fighter
Beaten by the Dane.

Beaten by the Dane.
Colma, Cal, Sept. 11.-Battling Mel.
son defeated Jimmy Britt at the Col
ma Athletic club, after eighteen
rounds of the fercest fighting eve,
witnessed on the Pacific coast.
1t undoubtedly was the greatest
lightweight battle of the decade. So
desperately did the men fight that
both were covered with gore early
In the battle, while $4,000 spectators
went wild over the fierce mix-ups and
exchanges.
For seventeen rounds it was ham.
mer and tongs, with Britt having the
better of the fight until the end.
Britt opened the eighteenth round
by jabbing Nelson in the face and fol
lowed it with right and left to the
same spot. They mixed it up, when
suddenly Nelson whipped a terrific
right TO Britt's jaw and the latter
went down like a log. The blood was
streaming from his nose and mouth
as he made a feeble effort to rise
but he slowly sank back, and Referee
Graney counted hin out, while Mel
son stood few feet away waiting for
the gritty little California fighter to
regain his feet.

Hopes to Be Terminal Point.

The opinion is becoming well
grounded in Rapid City that that
place will be the terminus for the
Milwaukee railroad and that Dead
wood will have branch line from
Pactola. Eighty acres of ground have
just been surveyed at Rapid City and
indications point to the fact that the
Milwaukee has purchased this for a
terminal site. The smelter will be an
attraction to the railroad companies,
as it is about to begin operations and
will probably ship great quantities of
ore.
