MRS.BERRY'S GRIEVANCE
In Conversation BIames Frisco Road
for Delay at Girard.

Tulsa, L T., Dec. 9.-Mrs. Sal1ig
Berry, who held herself behind q. bar
ricade in the Frisco yards at Girard.
Kas., was brought to Tulsa and iTn-
mediately taken to the Tulsa hos
pital, believing she was going to a
hotel. She soon went to sleep, and
late in the afternoon aWoze, much re-
freshed- She talked freely to DR.. c.
z. Wiley, who is treating her for the
injuries she suffered when she was
smoked out by the Kansas authorities.
lips are quite sore from the effects Of
the ammonia fumes, but win soon
heal
Her conversation with DR.. Wiley
shows that she remembers clearly
every detail of her trip from Denver
to Tulsa, including the change of cars
at Kansas City and the sidetracking
at Girard. She talks of the details
of that ia hours at Girard with evil
dent amusement, although she says
the people tried to be kind to her.
There were some, however, she could
not trust. The Frisco railroad treated
her badly, she thinks, in leaving her
there so long before bringing her on
to Tulsa. She says the Frisco should
have brought that coach on through
to Tulsa. and have allowed other pas
sengers to stay in or out at their op-
ton.
DR.. Wiley finds she is suffering from
a nervous lesion, and that there is
considerable ground for hope she may
soon be restored to perfect mental
balance. Her father. T. G. Bailey. a
prosperous farmer, lives about seven
miles east of here. and has about s17,-
600 on deposit in local bank.

FTREAfEN WANT MORE PAY.
Think They Have Been Overlooked by
City Council.

The members Of the fire department
are considering the advisabiIity of
asking the city council for a raise in
their salaries.
The departments in the city have
had their pay increased with the ex-
ception of the members Of the fire de-
partment who think that they should
be accorded the same treatment.
At present firemen Of the first class
receive S792 a year and those Of the
second class receive $500. The cap
tains get 1902 and the heutenants Of
each company receive 1892.
An increase of from per cent to
10 per cent is what the dremen be-
lieve should be made. This is about
on a par with the increase made ia

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.

The 12Oth annual Conference
of the Methodist church now in
session in Spartanburg is un-
usually largely attended, over
300 ministers and about $50
lay delegates being present.
Bishop Gambler, of Georgia, is
presiding. The Rev. E. O.
Watson is now serving his 18th
year as secretary. All the
standing committees were re-
elected.
The Rev. S. A. Nettles and
the Rev. G. H. Waddell have
been elected editors and manag
ers of the Christian Advocate
for the year 1906.
DIR. Child, financial agent of
Wofford College, has made his
report, which shows that he has
raised since March $4,000. of
the 100000 wanted for the
the endowmenG fund.
The only sensational feature
thus far developed was the re

character Of the Rev. G. W.
Creighton, of the Cokesburg
district. He is charged with
slandering presiding d S

Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The usual order of things was
reversed last Sunday, when Miss
Laura Percer, the 22-year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. c..
Percer, who lives on North Cald-
well street extension, stole away
with young Ernest Tomberlin
and married the youth. The
youthful husband is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. James Tomber-
lin, who are very wrathy over
the matrimonial episode.
1t is an interesting story.
1t seems that Miss Percer and
Tomberlin had been spoony for
some time, but, owing to the
difference in their ages, their
friends did not regard the spell
seriously. However, Sunday
morning Miss Percer, who is the
undisputed head of the family,
took matters in her own hand. She
secured a turnout, drove by for
him who was to become her
younger half, and hied away to
the South Carolina line. In the
natural course OF events Squire
Bales received his fee and pro
nounced his blessings upon the
couple.
Upon their return the bride
naturally took her husband tc
her parents home, where they
will reside. 1t is understood that
the parents of the husband have
not yet let their wrath cool and
the young man has not yet dared
visit his people.
